Learn to Consciously Work with Your Worldview and Transform How You Lead, Live, and Create Change
Discover the often-unconscious driving force that shapes your perceptions, decisions, and actions – and learn to align it with your deepest intentions for more powerful, authentic leadership. Join leaders, consultants, and change-makers from around the world who have discovered this transformative approach to conscious self-awareness and intentional leadership of your life.
The Hidden Cost of Unconscious Worldviews
Every day, leaders and organizations operate from unconscious beliefs, assumptions, and values that create unintended consequences and limit their potential for positive impact.
Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: Your worldview shapes what you perceive, which shapes your actions, which confirms your worldview – creating cycles that may no longer serve you or your organization.
Unexamined Assumptions Drive Decisions: Without conscious awareness, unhelpful beliefs and assumptions that you may be carrying guide your leadership, limiting your ability to create the culture and outcomes you truly desire.
Increased Conflict: When people don't understand their own worldview or recognize that others operate from different worldviews, tensions can grow from mistaking worldview differences for personal disagreements or values conflicts.
Values and Actions Misalign: Leaders often struggle to achieve their goals because something invisible keeps getting in the way – the gap between their stated intentions and their unconscious worldview.
The cost of operating from an unconscious worldview isn't just missed opportunities – it's the disconnection between who you want to be as a leader and how you actually show up in the world.
Attending to Your Worldview Creates Conscious Leadership
Attending to Your Worldview is a powerful learning module that brings your worldview into focus, allowing you to examine, refine, and intentionally work with the beliefs, values, and assumptions that shape your reality and leadership.
Understand What Shapes Your Reality Your worldview is a collection of values, attitudes, beliefs, and expectations that inform your thoughts and actions. Learn to recognize how your worldview shapes everything you see, experience, and create – and discover the agency to change it.
Reduce Conflict and Enhance Decision-Making When you consciously understand your worldview and those of the people you work with, conflict is reduced and decision-making becomes easier. Your awareness supports you to consciously set out a collective path to the future.
Align Your Mind, Heart, and Action Work with the often-unconscious patterns beneath your thoughts and emotions, bringing clarity about which beliefs and assumptions are best to work with when bringing your mind, heart, and action into alignment.
Create Life-Nourishing Conditions Whether working individually, with your team, or across your organization, intentionally working with worldview supports you to create more life-nourishing rather than life-depleting conditions in your work and life. arrangements with the person who you would like to stay with. We recommend that you stay with us at the venue, but it is also possible to make your own
