Competencies for
conscious leadership
- Coaching for leadership. Top teams perform at their optimum when the leader understands the importance of listening, is able to reflect, and has the courage to share their thinking fully, no matter how tentative.
- Top teams have leaders who not only function from their strengths but are aware of their blindspots and know how to focus on including these in their perspective.
- Top teams have leaders who commit to self-work as well relationship building.
- Top teams have leaders who know how to coach team members to enhance creative solutions-focussed thinking.
“Approximately 5% of leaders in the West operate with the mental and emotional capacity needed to manage complex, systemic change and reliably generate organisational transformation.”
– Barrett C. Brown, Ph.D. The Future of Leadership for Conscious Capitalism (2014)
Coaching for leadership –
Leaders, do you:
- Lead by example?
- Have engaged employees?
- Use intelligently focused delegation to grow and inspire others while freeing up valuable time for yourselves?
- Possess great resilience in times of uncertainty?
- Constantly develop self-awareness so that you can relate to others better?
- Recognise blindspots and how to refocus these?
- Understand and work well with different world views and values?
While assessments for personality and learning styles like Insights and Myers Briggs are all useful typologies for understanding on a horizontal axis, what I work with is developing on a vertical axis. This axis indicates levels of increasing complexity, increasing consciousness. We don’t need only to recognise the class or type difference between one thing and another, leaders need to know the level of complexity that a person is capable of in any one typology.
My coaching for leadership and leadership development training is for leaders who are consciously developing an ability to hold multiple perspectives with ease instead of judgement, with curiosity and interest instead of condemnation of difference.

Coaching helps you shift from where you are to where you want to be
Coaching helps you discover thoughts you were not aware of. You find the courage to take new steps, to overcome untrue self-limiting beliefs. And you have support in your journey to achieve better outcomes for you that will endure. Integral coaching means that every important perspective in your life is included - your thoughts, feelings and values, your behaviours and capacities, your relationships and the systems you live and work in. -
