The Evolution of Leadership: An Invitation to Engage in a Conscious Dialogue

This Dialogue Took Place in July of 2006.

Although You Missed The Live Call, Scroll Down, Complete the Form, and You Can Receive the Audios and Handout.

When the Power of Our Way Community launched the official kick-off for Conscious Dialogues™ we received a number of questions pertaining to the future of leadership.

Never before in the history of humankind are we being called to become more conscious in our roles as leaders. We are being called to step up as higher level leaders in our families, our businesses, and in each of the communities we participate in; social, familial, business, learning, spiritual, and of course, the communities within which we reside.

A new generation of leaders is being called to evolve and emerge from the frameworks in which they currently operate. This evolution is creating a demand for the emergence of leaders who are not dependant on position power, manipulation, fear, exclusion, and coercion but rather leaders, who operate under a higher mindset, believe in human potential, continuously evolve, and see themselves as an influence for powerful, social change.

Join Anita and the Power of Our Way Community for a Conscious Dialogue™ on “The Evolution of Leadership” with thought leaders Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Dr. Larry Lyons, Jim Oher, Michelle James, and Amy Skolen.  

A powerful look into the future call of leaders around the globe, we will:

• Delve into the critical behaviors and attitudes that assist leaders in building sustainable and positive influence
• Share proven strategies to achieve more effectiveness as leaders and as human beings
• Explore the opportunities for creating profound change, innovation, and collaboration within your organizations
