Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4
(a two day training for each Level)
Overall Details for the 4 levels
The path less travelled is conscious leadership, which appears as greater clarity, resilience, presence, calmness (less stress), concentration, stepping out of the ego and our stories, over coming self sabotages, releasing conflict, fear, anxiety and adapting easily to change and greater self-confidence, trust and empathy. Immediate benefits are seen and felt.
We live in a time when the world is changing at an alarming rate and our managers and leaders are facing great uncertainty, which requires a paradigm shift from depending upon external resources to working from internal resources. Our leaders have the strength to take us into the future; this strength will be harvested and developed during this training.
This dynamic and unconventional training will allow Managers to raise their levels of consciousness and to equip managers with managerial skills that will meet the challenges of the future, that will allow for a natural change in organisational culture and directly impacting business and personal performance.
Conscious Leadership is a gentle process of self-mastery that spans 4 Levels and is an internal learning (where the body, sensations and the unconscious are involved) as opposed to external learning (where only the cognitive mind is involved).
Each level builds on the prior level and advancements lead to new inner learning, the discovery of yet more inner resources and how to effectively interact with our external environment.
A participant can complete a single level or several levels and each level will deliver positive, immediate and long lasting advancements in consciousness and self-awareness.
Each participant will have access to MP3 recordings of the dynamic meditation exercises to download for obligatory daily practise for the 8 weeks following the training. This daily practise is very important, as repetition is key to progress. After each exercise practiced daily, each participant will write-up their experience and share it via email at the end of each week with the trainer. The trainer will be available for questions throughout the eight weeks.
The journey begins with a single step, that step is deciding to join the Level 1 training and committing to the repetition of the daily practise. Only through this commitment will participants begin to see and feel effective changes. Once this change is seen and felt by others and us then the motivation is solidified and we are committed to the transformation. Level 1 provides the fundamental theory and provides a mind set shift, teaches us how to be in the here and now (the present moment) where clarity of mind, quality of decisions, clear leadership and communication is experienced. Understanding the role of the body is the highlight.

When we learn to reflect on the past to discover and explore memories, we will then learn how to stimulate and grow high energy memories and release the low energy emotions.

After the progression of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 we are now at the cherry on the cake, the hard work is over and each participant has arrived. We now experience a celebration of self, of authenticity, of great personal value to the world and the immense feeling of compassion to oneself and others. In Level 4 we test our growth by being aware of what is actually present instead of what our mind is making up. To do this we become aware of our judgements, attitudes and beliefs in creating our story and our truth and learn how to let them go to realise what is actually there. Level 4 focuses on Axiology, the study of values of the consciousness that fits into three categories of human values: Biological, Existential and Historical and which poses some philosophical questions.
