Podcasts about conscious leadership

Raj Sisodia has spent his life asking one question: Can business make people's lives better instead of draining them? He holds a PhD in Marketing and Business Policy from Columbia University, co-founded Conscious Capitalism with John Mackey, the founder of Whole Foods Market, and has advised global companies from Tata Group to AT&T. But his path started in a factory in Bombay, earning a hundred dollars a month, before he built one of the most influential ideas in modern business thinking. "I didn't like biology, so I became an engineer. I didn't like finance, so I became a marketing professor. But business turned out to be about head and wallet — nothing about heart or spirit." That realization led him to study companies that people love working for and trust buying from. The result became Conscious Capitalism — a way of running a business that joins purpose, profit, and care. "Profit is the oxygen that keeps you alive. But no human lives just to make red blood cells. In the same way, no company should live just to make profit." Raj's research showed that companies built on four simple pillars — Purpose, Stakeholders, Conscious Leadership, and Caring Culture — outperformed the S&P 500 by nine to one over a decade. They made more money precisely because they cared more. When he met Bob Chapman, a manufacturing CEO from Missouri, Raj saw these ideas come alive. Chapman bought a failing plant, promised no layoffs, and told workers they would figure it out together. Men who had once been laid off without warning wept as they told Raj their lives had changed. "I had sixty dollars in the bank and a new baby. That job saved my family." From that came the book Everybody Matters. Chapman told him, "Leadership is the stewardship of the lives entrusted to us." Raj calls such companies healing organizations — places that reduce suffering and bring more joy into the world. Now, with artificial intelligence reshaping work, Raj argues that AI will amplify our intentions: "A knife in a surgeon's hand saves lives. The same knife in another hand can end one. AI is the same — it depends on who we are when we use it." He believes the leaders who thrive will be those who bring consciousness to technology, not fear.

If you are wondering if you should work with your husband or wife, or for tips and tricks to stay married when you work together, you are in the right place today!  When married partners work together, the business is never “just business.”  Working in a #familybusiness is a dynamic that impacts the partners at home and at work, and it impacts everyone in the company, too. Kaley Warner Klemp, co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership and The 80/80 Marriage, discusses actionable tips to help partnerships thrive.  She shares suggestions for aiming for generosity rather than fairness, why clear roles protect both the relationship and the business, and how spouses can repair after conflict when you are doing it in front of the whole company.  They discuss the quieter questions leaders rarely ask out loud.

Kaley offers tools for conversations, visible repair, and the kind of leadership that supports long-term wellbeing for the couple and the company.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik has a straight talking conversation with transformational leadership coach and extreme adventurer Martin Palethorpe. This is not another hype session about grinding harder. Martin breaks down why so many high achievers quietly burn out even while they look successful on LinkedIn. He explains how real peak performance starts with the mind. Not more strategy. From racing across deserts and trekking to the magnetic North Pole to recovering from a 300 foot skydive crash and rebuilding life after a long marriage, Martin shows how mental clarity, nervous system regulation and conscious leadership create sustainable performance. You will hear practical ways to step off the hamster wheel, cut through internal noise and use breath, presence and simple physical challenges as leadership training. If you are a founder, executive or driven professional searching for depth instead of just more output, this episode is built to land About The Guest: Martin Palethorpe is a transformational leadership coach, adventurer and conscious leadership guide. For more than 25 years he has coached senior executives and founders while testing human limits in extreme environments. He has raced across multiple deserts, trekked to the magnetic North Pole and survived a 300 foot skydive crash. Along the way he has left corporate life, moved through the end of a 20 year marriage and rebuilt his inner and outer world. Martin blends discipline with intuition, performance with presence and physical challenge with spiritual clarity. Through his Quality of Mind work he helps leaders access clarity on demand, regulate their nervous systems and lead from wisdom instead of fear and pressure. Key Takeaways  : Peak performance is less about pushing harder and more about removing the mental friction that blocks your existing capacity. The mind usually quits before the body. In extreme desert races, “escape gremlins” in the mind created stories to justify stopping while the body could continue. Obsessing over results and targets can damage performance. It fuels stress, burnout and illness rather than sustainable excellence. Most high achievers are driven by unexamined conditioning. Make more money. Move faster. Look successful. Without asking what any of that truly delivers. In a high pressure moment the simplest shift is to stop and breathe. Breathwork calms the nervous system so you can respond instead of react. You have to step off the hamster wheel. Retreats, quiet time and honest self inquiry are key to hearing deeper wisdom beneath autopilot thinking. Redefine failure. Playing full out means you will sometimes fall short. Protecting your image often costs you a fully lived life. Small physical challenges like cold water immersion expose how much suffering comes from the story in your mind rather than the situation itself. Real success is not about winning or status. It is about a healthy body, honest relationships, inner peace and meaningful impact.   How To Connect With Martin Palethorpe  : To explore Martin's retreats, coaching and Quality of Mind work.

In this transformative episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas sits down with Samantha Thomas, a global voice for love-based leadership and emotional healing. Samantha is the founder of The Love Summit, a groundbreaking business conference designed to inspire corporate and government leaders to make decisions rooted in love, compassion, and human connection — not fear or profit. Samantha shares her powerful journey, beginning with her upbringing in a spiritually aware environment, through early life traumas that shaped her understanding of love, pain, and self-compassion.

Work–Life Integration, Conscious Leadership, and Values-Aligned Staffing are at the heart of this conversation with entrepreneur, Scott Britton. Scott shares how he went from Princeton, Forbes 30 Under 30, and a startup sold to Salesforce to realizing that no amount of achievement could fix the feeling of being reactive, stressed, and out of sync inside his own life. He talks about the moment he began treating his reactions as data instead of flaws, and how that simple shift helped him see the patterns driving his stress and decision-making. Scott walks through his “freedom log” practice that any conscious leader can start using immediately, the difference between emotions and long-running patterns, and how everyday triggers at work can become practical entry points for awareness instead of something to hide or power through. Work stops being separate from inner growth and starts to become one of the most honest places to see what is actually going on inside you. Scott also shares how this path led to his book Conscious Accomplishment and to Conscious Talent, a staffing company that connects talent with companies committed to both professional excellence and inner work. For founders and leaders who feel like they have “outgrown” the company they built, his story offers a grounded look at what it means to bring more of your inner life into how you hire, lead, and shape culture. In this conversation, you'll hear about: The point where external success stopped working for Scott and what he noticed next How he uses the “freedom log” to track triggers and unpack the stories underneath them Why work can be one of the most powerful places for real inner growth Practical ways to bring more authenticity into leadership without blowing up your culture overnight How Conscious Talent supports values-aligned staffing for leaders who care about both results and inner development   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction 05:09 Scott Britton's Turning Point and Inner Shift 07:55 How Business Becomes a Spiritual Dojo 17:51 Emotional Awareness Tools for Leaders 18:45 Why Scott Created Conscious Talent 31:30 Values-Aligned Hiring and Modern Leadership   Links Connect with Scott Britton: Scott's book: Conscious Accomplishment Learn more about Scott's Projects: ConsciousTalent.com  https://linktr.ee/scottbritton    Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: Visit The Conscious Entrepreneur website  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Dr. Dan interviews coach, Enneagram teacher, and author Courtney Smith to explore how we grow, evolve, and reclaim our most authentic selves. Courtney shares the transformational journey that took her from a high-achieving, analytical career to helping leaders and individuals uncover the stories, fears, and inner patterns that shape their lives.

Episode #131 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Rob Grover and Gary Logan, the visionary founders of The Journeymen Collective, to explore the transformative and healing potential of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, when used with reverence and intention.We talk about how these sacred medicines, when facilitated in a safe, professional, and energetically aligned environment, can open the heart, release emotional blocks, and expand consciousness.

Once misunderstood, they're now being studied for their potential to support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness- helping individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with a greater sense of purpose and unity. When approached with respect, ceremony, and proper facilitation, these experiences can catalyze lasting personal growth and heart-centered transformation.TakeawaysPsychedelics can open up new ways of experiencing life.Safe containers are essential for transformative journeys.Integration of experiences is crucial for lasting change.High-performing individuals often face burnout and anxiety.Psychedelics can help individuals reconnect with their purpose.The journey is about letting go of control and surrendering.Psychedelics are not just recreational; they are sacred medicines.Conscious leadership is enhanced through psychedelic experiences.The future of psychedelics is promising as societal acceptance grows.Personal transformation can lead to a domino effect in relationships and business.Sound Bites"You are nature.""What if you fly?""In freedom we soar."Connect with Rob and GaryInstagramWebsiteEmail PRLet's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastKeywordspsilocybin, psychedelics, consciousness, leadership, transformation, safe spaces, personal growth, spiritual awakening, integration, plant medicine

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Why do we keep trusting the loudest person in the room instead of the most capable one? We seem drawn to the tall, bold, confident, and the loud, but not always to the wise. I invited Maria Brinck, founder of Zynergy International, and author of The Leadership We Need, to help me unpack this uncomfortable truth. Maria argues we have accepted being led by bullies and that our subconscious bias toward dominance keeps toxic, outdated leadership patterns alive. We explore what happens when masculine energy takes over the world, why empathy is often mistaken for weakness, and what it really takes to build the kind of leadership the future demands

From poet to paper artist and conscious entrepreneur, Janna Willoughby-Lohr shares how she built a purpose-driven company that proves creativity and sustainability can spark community, connection, and real economic change.Janna is the founder and lead artist of Papercraft Miracles, an eco-friendly handmade paper art studio in Buffalo, New York, creating everything from plantable seed paper to realistic paper flowers for clients like Lionel Richie, Lowe's, Pinterest, and Capital One. Named a Top 10 NAWBO Woman Business Owner of the Year and featured on discovery+'s Meet Your Makers Showdown, Janna has carved out a powerful space in the art and business world by choosing impact over unchecked growth.Her journey began with financial limitations that led her to Warren Wilson College, where she unexpectedly discovered the book arts department and experienced a spiritual awakening through papermaking. When traditional programs failed to support her vision, she built her own major, combining business, creative arts, and social work, at just nineteen years old. That innovative mindset taught her early on that artists don't just need technical skill, they need communication, confidence, and courage to own their voice.In our conversation, Janna dismantles the myth that artists can't thrive financially and challenges the toxic “fempreneur” culture selling unrealistic success. Instead, she offers a framework of conscious entrepreneurship grounded in sustainability, community, and stakeholder-focused models like B Corps. She shares practical insights on scaling with intention, overcoming imposter syndrome, and designing businesses that honor both people and the planet.We also dive into authenticity in leadership, the evolution of women's roles in business, and the rising demand for connection in a digital age. Janna's work proves that handmade, meaningful experiences can combat isolation and rebuild community, and that women entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this shift.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Laura Watson, founder of Venture Coaching International, about leading from the inside out. We unpack the gap between surface success and inner alignment, how guided psychedelic journeys can unlock core beliefs, and a practical framework for emotional mastery under pressure. Expect clear, actionable insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and team leads who want sustainable performance, better decision-making, and authentic leadership.   About the Guest   Laura Watson is a leadership and business coach with 30+ years guiding owners and executives. Her work bridges classic performance coaching with guided psychedelic journeys and integration, helping clients reconnect to authenticity, dissolve limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity.   Key Takeaways: Conscious leadership goes deeper than skills. It reconnects leaders to authenticity instead of copying past examples. “Be quick, but don't hurry.” Mastery comes from focused practice; speed follows after skills are integrated—avoid random busyness. Symptoms vs. core issues. Procrastination, conflict, or disorganization often mask deeper beliefs and narratives formed by upbringing, education, and systems. Psychedelics as door-openers. Properly guided journeys can widen one's sense of possibility and agency; the real work is post-journey integration. Emotional mastery in three steps: notice the trigger, shift from resistance to acceptance, then choose deliberate action. Lower emotional temperature to regain logic. You can't be fully emotional and fully logical at once; regulate before deciding. Freedom follows mastery. Less reactivity creates time freedom, fewer workplace escalations, and better outcomes. Lead conversations, not drama. One thoughtful dialogue can prevent wasteful escalations and save time, money, and relationships.   How to Connect with the Guest   https://venturecoaching.ca/ LinkedIn    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM — Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

The hardest promise to keep is the one you make with yourself. In this solo episode, Chad Peterman kicks off a new series based on The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, diving deep into one of the most important commitments a leader can make: practicing integrity. Integrity isn't just about morality or “being a good person.” It's about alignment between what you think, feel, say, and do. Chad explores how to make impeccable agreements, take full responsibility for your results, and repair relationships where trust has slipped. He also shares personal stories from leadership and home life, showing how small daily promises like reading in the morning or keeping calm in conflict shape who we become as leaders. Whether you're leading a growing HVAC team or developing the next generation of leaders, this episode will challenge you to reflect, realign, and live your commitments fully. Additional Resources: The 15 Commitments of Conscious LeadershipJoin The ARENA - a CSTG Community (powered by our media partner, PeopleForward Network) Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Integrity Begins Within: The hardest commitments to honor are the ones you make with yourself — and they reveal your true leadership character. It's About Alignment, Not Perfection: Integrity means your thoughts, words, and actions match — not that you never fall short. Make Impeccable Agreements: Keep promises clear and intentional. Your word defines your credibility and influence as a leader. Take Full Responsibility: Growth happens when you stop blaming and start asking, What's my role in this? Clean It Up: Broken trust can be rebuilt through honesty, humility, and a willingness to have hard conversations. Consistency Builds Trust: The inside must match the outside — integrity thrives in everyday choices, not just big moments.

Are you letting the digital world diminish your empathy? In this episode of the Empowerment Minutes podcast, we discuss why Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is relevant for conscious leadership. While AI serves as your co-pilot for efficiency, your EQ serves as your pilot for connection. Tune in on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, YouTube Music, or your favorite podcast platform and understand the dimensions of emotional intelligence and ensure you're leading with Heartset, not just metrics.

What if leadership isn't about pushing harder on performance, but about showing up with presence that energizes people and elevates outcomes? We sit down with Dr. Matt Poepsel—psychologist, Boston College professor, host of Lead the People, and author of Expand the Circle—to rewire how we think about leading in a world of AI disruption, remote ambiguity, and rising burnout. Matt shares how he moved from a “rubbish manager” copying others to a grounded leader who balances mission and people in equal measure, and he offers a practical path to do the same.We dig into the leadership craft: clarifying values, aligning actions, and noticing what energizes or drains each person on your team. Matt explains why awareness is a performance tool, not a luxury, and how small, intentional shifts—like redesigning meetings for different thinking styles—unlock better ideas, trust, and speed. You'll learn his outside-in/inside-out model: set intention by prioritizing customers and partners first, then take action by owning what you can control—your clarity, your cadence, your follow-through.From healing separation through vulnerability to transforming “teams of executives” into true “executive teams,” this conversation is packed with usable frameworks and grounded stories. We also explore how to build a shared values language, create meaningful team identity, and ask the question that changes everything: What is it like to experience you as a leader?If you're ready to replace autopilot with intention and expand your circle from self to team to system, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a colleague who leads people, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep raising the standard of leadership together.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:What does it really mean to live and lead without limits? For Laura Gisborne, it's not a catchphrase — it's her guiding principle and her life's work. Having built nine companies and sold six, Laura could have stopped there. But a near-fatal car accident and a lifetime of overcoming trauma pushed her to step into a bigger calling: helping leaders turn their businesses into vehicles for legacy.In this episode of Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Laura reveals the mindset shifts and practices that keep her grounded in both business and purpose.She takes us behind the curtain of what it means to lead with both masculine drive and feminine flow. She speaks candidly about how her early years were defined by push, grit, and survival — and how she discovered the true strength of collaboration, vulnerability, and spiritual connection. Along the way, her Limitless Women community has collectively raised more than $750,000 for global causes, proving that when entrepreneurs align their work with impact, the results go far beyond profit.This is more than a conversation about business. It's a blueprint for turning hardship into healing, ambition into impact, and leadership into legacy. And while this says Limitless Women, take it as a guide for Limitless You. If you're ready to build success that lasts — not just for you, but for the lives you touch — this episode is your invitation.

"Curiosity invites us to go deeper." In this episode, Nick speaks with TJ Woodward to explore conscious recovery, healing from trauma, and the importance of self-awareness in personal growth. TJ shares his journey from childhood experiences to addiction and recovery, emphasizing the significance of understanding core beliefs and the role of curiosity in healing. What to listen for: Life is about returning to our true selves, not about attaining something Childhood experiences significantly shape our beliefs and behaviors Unresolved trauma, spiritual disconnection, and toxic shame are root causes of addiction Awareness is crucial for healing, but it can also be painful Curiosity can lead to deeper understanding and growth Making peace with the past is essential for overcoming core false beliefs The lens through which we view the world is shaped by our experiences Healing trauma requires acknowledging and caring for our wounds The unconscious mind often dictates our responses and behaviors “Can I be in that in the midst of it? I wanna honor the pain. I wanna honor the experience. I'm not gonna bypass and pretend like it's not happening. But in the midst of that, it's like, I'm wondering what wants to emerge. What else is possible for me?” Being present with pain is powerful, it's not weakness, it's deep self-awareness Honoring what you're going through creates space for real transformation Emotional bypassing might feel easier, but it blocks growth In every struggle, there's potential for something new to be born Asking “what else is possible?” invites curiosity, healing, and forward movement “We can kind of change the past because the past is the narrative in our head and it's the energy associated with it.” The past isn't fixed — it lives in the stories we tell ourselves Shifting our perspective can shift how we feel about what happened Healing is about rewriting the emotional charge, not denying the facts Your story is yours to evolve, and that's real power Changing your relationship with the past changes who you become in the present About TJ Woodward TJ is a Revolutionary Recovery Expert, Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Addictions Treatment Specialist, host of The Element Q Podcast, and Best-Selling Author.

Layoffs, furloughs, and rehiring after downsizing are decisions that press on both the head and the heart.   Sarah Lockwood talks with Peggy Shell, the CEO of Creative Alignments, about the reality of leading a team through moments when survival means making choices no leader wants to make. Peggy shares how her company moved from furloughs to layoffs during an economic downturn and what it took to carry the weight of those decisions while still protecting the future of the business. How do you take care of the people who stay after you've had to let others go? How much truth should you share when your team is already anxious?   Peggy explains how transparency and steady communication built trust, even in the midst of layoffs, and why she chose approaches like covering health insurance, offering transition periods, and helping people find new roles. She also reflects on the uneasy process of hiring again after downsizing and the challenge of moving forward with confidence when past decisions still weigh heavy.   This episode encourages entrepreneurs to look closely at how layoffs, furloughs, and rehiring after downsizing affect more than just headcount. These moments test the culture of a company, the trust between leaders and their teams, and the resilience of a business when pressure hits. Peggy's story shows how the choices a leader makes in these situations leave a lasting mark on both the people and the direction of the business.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Initial Layoffs 02:16 Fear of Rehiring and Economic Uncertainty 05:31 Conscious Leadership and Transparency in Layoffs 08:01 Furloughs vs. Layoffs 10:09 Handling Layoffs with Compassion and Support 11:14 Retaining A Players and Addressing Survivor Guilt 14:17 Lessons Learned and Building a Stronger Business 16:21 Innovation and Reimagining Company Culture 17:12 Final Takeaways for Leaders Connect with Peggy Shell: Creative Alignments Connect with Peggy on LinkedIn    Connect with Sarah Lockwood: HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram    HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

What if the real work of leadership wasn't about climbing higher, but going deeper into the soul, the body, and the sacred responsibility of showing up fully alive?

So much of what holds leaders back isn't strategy or skill. It's the invisible mindset traps we don't even realize we're stuck in. Most leadership challenges are created by unconscious patterns running the show beneath the surface. In this episode, we dig into what it really takes to break those patterns with Diana Chapman, executive coach and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. We explore how leaders unknowingly operate from fear instead of trust, how ego-driven patterns around control, approval, and security quietly sabotage progress, and why taking radical responsibility is a game-changer. Diana also breaks down the Drama Triangle—the victim, villain, and hero roles we slip into—and reveals how to break free from reactivity and drama to lead with more clarity and presence. We unpack why addiction to comfort and being right can quietly derail your leadership impact, and explore the dangers of greed in leadership, and what it really means to show up in a state of trust and curiosity.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
