What is Conscious Leadership?
Conscious Leadership is a unique approach to personal and professional leadership development grounded in principles of personal integrity, authenticity, courage and transformation aimed at leadership acceleration, integration and expansion.
The ONYX Method ™
The ONYX Method is a transformational leadership development program consisting of four modules (approx. 8 hours total delivered in-person or virtually). Each module includes an experiential training component designed to reinforce one or more of the following O.N.Y.X. principles of conscious leadership:
O - Own your leadership journey, career & inner fulfillment
N - Consciously Navigate our diverse world to create collective success
Y - Know Your personal & your organization's values to empower choice
X - Xpand your thinking of what's possible to Xcel in your journey
It is our commitment and intention for you to be inspired, uncover blind spots, attain higher levels of awareness, and experience a transformation in every area of your leadership.

Are opposed to being held accountable to what you say you want
Want to blame others for how you have created, promoted or allowed your circumstances
Are not curious and do not like practicing something new
