Cam Danielson
So the conscious leadership institute, this is the way that I’m now giving my focus myself and my partner, Pam firm. And we’re giving our focus to this idea of how can leaders become more conscious with grow in their development as leaders, and addressing not just simply their current purpose as a leader. But stepping into a kind of elevating to a larger impact in the world. One of the things that we’ve learned with working with leaders is that the organization is not the final defining dimension to their leadership. It’s a context in which their leadership emerges, but who they are as leaders is larger than any organization. And hence, they begin to step into that identity of leadership. It takes them into working on things that go well beyond the just merely the goals and objectives of any single organization. So how do we work with people like that is a developmental journey that requires multiple steps, so coaching, workshops, and research all kinds of work together under this umbrella of Institute development is not a quick fix. It’s a journey. And people who want to take it seriously. We’ve got a protocol and our practice for working with them over years, part of this development purposes, you know, stepping back, taking in the larger context, and then refocusing, stepping back refocusing. This is the work of innovation and execution, expansion and focus. So we’re learning how to do that as a practice of leadership.
