But First, A Note From Our Founder.

The Center for Conscious Leadership had a glow-up, and we're not just talking about our snazzy new website.

In the last few years, we've leveled up from a one-woman show to a global crew of deeply human, disarmingly present, and joyful conscious coaches. 

Since you last heard from us, we've been supporting game-changers in public health, education, and human rights, serving up some serious transformation through executive coaching, team development, and organizational deep dives.

We’re cultivating leaders who don't just manage – they inspire, transform, and elevate everyone around them. We're not here for your run-of-the-mill leadership fluff. We're talking revolutionary leadership that's ready to tackle the world's toughest challenges and create a more equitable future for all.

Whether you're a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, this newsletter is your compass to leadership that actually makes a difference. 

Expect inspirational stories on co-creating a more equitable future, and practical guidance for professional growth, and the evolving workplace.

We can’t wait to see what we build together!
