The Five Cs of Confident Leadership
Ready to dip your toe in the Five Cs?
Chances are good that if you’re in a position of leadership, it’s not uncommon to feel the weight of the world on your shoulders on a regular basis. People are counting on you to get things done, meet milestones, put out fires, exceed expectations, and much, much more.
Let’s be honest — even leaders need guidance sometimes. And that’s where The Five Cs of Confident Leadership comes in — Communication, Clarity, Connection, Community and Courage.
Developed by ConsciousLead, the following is an insightful, thought-provoking snapshot of the deep, far-reaching work that is done during the Five Cs of Confident Leadership Program offered by Dale Allen and Trevor Stevenson, co-founders of ConsciousLead.

5 Elements Exercise
When we are stressed, our body and mind are in WTF mode (flight, fight, freeze, faint) and this leaves little ease, room, and patience to see if there is, in fact, a real tiger trying to eat us.
By balancing the four elements in your life, you will create space for the more important things. This means you’ll have more time to spend living, loving, and enjoying life. The new found space also creates opportunities to learn healthy ways to respond to stressful situations.

The Pro-HumanKIND Guide: The Only Diversity and Inclusion Training Program You and Your Team Will Ever Need
There’s a big, smelly, elephant in the room that’s been sucking up all of the oxygen and we think it’s time to speak to it directly. This elephant attended diversity training but, somehow, still manages to discriminate, make racial slurs and keep everyone walking on eggshells around matters of social justice. All right, enough about the poor elephant. We truly love elephants!
This is not a lesson in anti-isms–racism, genderism, sexism, classism, ageism–and any new ones that may be added to the list. Neither is it about creating new and better labels; those have never been our thing and are, quite frankly, part of the problem. We’re going to get you and your team to the bottom of what’s been wearing us down as a society, holding us back and obstructing our path toward inclusivity and peace.
