Crafting a Shared Vision for Lasting Transformation

Being a high-performing leader all the time can be overwhelming and challenging. To ensure continuous inspiration, drive, and commitment towards your goals, it is important to regularly assess the level of motivation within your team. In this blog, we will explore how we, ConsciousLead, created a Shared Vision to enhance motivation and make a positive impact on people's lives. By following this process, leaders, conscious leaders, changemakers, and non-violent leaders can develop a clear and engaging vision that fosters a harmonious work environment.

Purpose: What do we believe in? What are we passionate about that will positively influence others and ourselves?

Our purpose is rooted in our belief that there is often unrecognized harm caused by obstacles and challenges. We are passionate about reducing this harm and creating awareness around it. We firmly believe that if people were aware of the harm they unknowingly contribute, they would actively work to stop it. This reduction in harm leads to decreased stress, conflicts, burnout, gossip, and deeper issues within organizations, families, and communities.

We recognize that obstacles, adversity, challenges, and conflicts are inevitable in both work and life. Therefore, we strive to emphasize that the quality of results achieved in any environment is directly related to the level of awareness and communication in a given moment. Our ultimate inspiration is to help people commit to achieving better results and live happier, healthier, and more productive lives, free from shame, blame, and guilt.

Destination: Where are we going?

Building Effective Communication and Wellness - our vision at ConsciousLead is to raise awareness within government, corporate, community, family organizations, and couples who work together. We aim to address the harm caused by differing views, beliefs, personal triggers, biases, and experiences within these environments. Our vision encompasses a world where individuals possess the awareness, vulnerability, courage, and skills to express their ideas and concerns effectively and harmlessly. We strongly believe that such a world will contribute to the overall health and wellness of every individual and organization.

Values: How do we think and act?

We adhere to core values that inform our decision-making process and guide us in times of pressure, challenges, conflicts, power struggles, and stress.

Integrity: We recognize that personal responsibility is key to our actions and their impact on others. Our approach is centered around creating a strong and positively contagious environment, where we proactively address issues arising from conflicting views, values, status differences, judgments, and perceptions. In our dialogue, we actively remove hierarchical power dynamics, as well as blame, shame, and guilt. We highly value and honor individuals who have the courage to speak truth to power.
Fun and Lightness: We recognize the importance of laughter as it rejuvenates energy, sparks creativity, and relieves stress. Incorporating fun and lightness into our work helps us recover, refocus, stay stimulated, and maintain our humanity.
Helpful, Quality Conversations: We believe that "honest feedback" is often subjective and opinion-based. Instead, we foster helpful, quality conversations that encourage growth and limit defensiveness. These conversations allow everyone to thrive, reconnect, and work harmoniously.
Learning: We understand that mistakes, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations are inevitable and can strain relationships and teamwork. To overcome these challenges, we coach each team member in the transformative power of conscious communication, enabling recovery and renewed motivation.
Listening: We prioritize active listening, seeking to understand rather than react or respond impulsively. While disagreements may arise, we promote healthy conflict resolution that maintains relationships. We ensure that everyone feels heard and respected, enabling forward progress.

Service: What do we offer?

We offer various programs and coaching sessions to address the need for self-empathy, improved communication, and healthier relationships. Our services include one-on-one coaching, partner coaching for couples who work together, team/group coaching, and Leadership Development programs. Through these offerings, we equip individuals and teams with strategies to reduce and prevent harm caused by both intentional and unintentional actions.

Connection: How do I contribute for a greater good?

We strive to embody the principles we share with others. We consistently evaluate how our thoughts impact our choices and whether they align with the outcomes we desire. We prioritize self-awareness and actively confront our fears and challenges, even when it feels uncomfortable. Recognizing the need for growth, we initiate recovery conversations to restore trust and connection. Our commitment to these practices reflects our dedication to personal and collective well-being, ultimately influencing the results we achieve.

The ConsciousLead’s Shared Vision:

To distill our vision into a clear and impactful statement, we applied the aforementioned principles. Rather than settling for vague hyperbole, we crafted a vision that resonates deeply and conveys our purpose:

Vague: To be the best Leadership Development Company in the world... blah, blah, blah…

Clear: Our vision is to reduce the harm caused by daily stress, power struggles, and conflicts. We achieve this by equipping every individual and team we work with the awareness and communication skills necessary to improve their lives and achieve better results. By fostering a supportive environment, we empower others to overcome challenges and enhance their overall well-being.

Reflect on your Purpose, Destination, and personal values. Does your team share this clarity and connection? Do your personal values remain steadfast, or do they waver when faced with stress or resistance? Are you fostering recovery conversations that create a safe and trusting environment, where mistakes and misunderstandings can be openly shared?

Hold everyone accountable for quality conversations, reducing hidden harm. Implement this process in every interaction.
