Leaders as Elders, Stewards, and Tuning Forks. In Jeffrey Deckman’s award winning book, Developing the Conscious Leadership Mindset for the 21st Century, Jeffery writes, “elders are not in pursuit of leadership roles they’re in pursuit of consciousness.” When trying to figure out how to begin to take steps on the journey to conscious leadership, just think about the image you have of an elder and think about what they do and why they’re respected, and that will get you headed in the right directio

Wake Up, Get Real, Be Happy – Becoming Your Authentic Self
Conscious Leadership and Conscious Living in Action podcast
Start with your people. All business issues are people issues, and those people issues often relate to the false ego, the unconscious part of ourselves. So if we can break through those issues, and help them get into their own true essence and their own true selves, and tap into their own higher intelligences, they’ll come up with their own solutions. And then, my job is to help them figure their strategy for implementing and hold them accountable. That's my role as a conscious leaders coach.

Eric has made awakening and expanding the consciousness of leaders his mission in life. Eric says that what makes a conscious leader is not just waking up, opening your eyes and saying I am, but seeing the interconnectedness of all things, and holding all those variables in heart and mind as you make choices. That means extending beyond my ego, my sense of separate self and folding into it my co-workers, vendors, supply chain, my customers, my shareholders, my family, the family of my employees. What makes a person a conscious leader is the ability to expand that sense of self beyond the protection, beyond the greed, beyond the fear and to really include as much of life possible while making choices. A conscious being at choice, taking responsible action.
Eric describes his book as a journey through the applications of conscious leadership. He first addresses the question about why we need conscious leadership now, including the role that companies and businesses play in society, which is to say they've eclipsed religion and government as the shapers of human society. It is a mantle of responsibility cast upon leaders that they didn't expect. Conscious leadership is then deconstructed into its elemental vectors or main parts followed by chapters describing how we apply various lessons and insights to soften the ego’s grip and be able to be more conscious.
The Conscious Leadership in Action conversation also includes Eric being exceptionally vulnerable in sharing his own leadership awakening and a beautiful meditation.
