Conscious Leadership Development

Emintell’s core purpose is enabling conscious leadership in individuals teams and organisations, leading to happier, healthier and ultimately more successful results.

Conscious leadership is underpinned by several principles that are fast emerging in the world of business. The two most important of these are:

1. Business can have a higher purpose than pure profit
2. Business needs to take more responsibility for its impact on the world around it

We can see this in the growth of ethically based business and growth in businesses addressing social challenges with innovative and low-cost products and services. People want positive change in the way that business and other public and professional services operate. In effect, a growing recognition that “profit at all costs” is no longer tenable. This shift towards having a higher purpose and increased responsibility and contribution to the world around them is in part driven by landmark leadership failures at leading brand organisations over recent years. There is an increasing sense that the old traditional ways of leading are no longer tenable or fit for purpose. It is also driven by our collective awareness, that we need to take more responsibility for the state of our planet and its natural resources, including the climate and the impact of by-products on those resources, irrespective of our role or station in life.

Conscious Leaders

Given this context, what exactly are conscious leaders? They are individuals and individuals in leadership teams, who are highly self-aware, open, curious, willing to admit and share mistakes and shortcomings and able to demonstrate authentic humility and empathy both towards themselves and others.

Through our executive coaching and leadership development programmes, we work to unleash and enable conscious leadership within individuals and teams, both in the UK and internationally. This work can be deeply transformational for participants, with individuals experiencing fundamental shifts in how they perceive and regard themselves and other people in their business. Our leadership development programmes involve a blend of team and personal coaching, alongside skills workshops, action learning sets and reflective and mindful practices, all focussed on raising levels of consciousness.
