A conscious leader is someone who’s in touch with her worth, values, intuition and creativity. She’s in tune with nature; trusts her intuition; is skilled in transformative and relational methods such as assertive communication and empathy and leading from ‘we’ with clear boundaries.

When we don’t do what we really want to do, it’s frequently the shadow standing in our way. In order to be successful leaders, who create our business visions rather than only dream about them, we need to have access to all aspects of our personality traits. That’s where our freedom lies. This is the process of becoming whole, authentic and conscious people and leaders. This is an introduction to shadow work and leadership. This is part 3 of a 3 part teaching series with excerpts taken from Passion Warrior Conscious Leadership training eCourse by The Passion Institute.

It is our highest purpose as human beings to live with focused commitment to our inner growth. We create eudaimonic contentment (i.e., deep, sustained contentment) when we forego immediate pleasures—such as the next shiny object (materialism, workaholism, sex, drug etc). ‘Eudaimonia’ is a Greek word associated with Aristotle and often mistranslated as ‘happiness’—which has contributed to misunderstandings about what happiness is. Some experts say Aristotle meant ‘well-being’ when he wrote that humans can attain eudaimonia by fulfilling their potential(WSJ).” This article interview explores how you create a deep level of contentment and fulfillment for yourself in your business life.

That bit of wisdom comes from Sandja Brügmann, serial entrepreneur and founder of The Passion Institute, a recently launched online educational program and consultancy for executives and entrepreneurs. “Once we have developed understanding of how we interfere with our visions and goals, then comes the challenging process of unlearning and changing specific behaviors,” she explains.
