Featuring Nilima Bhat, author of Shakti Leadership, and Raj Sisodia, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Conscious Capitalism Inc.

Men and women urgently need a leadership model that works for today’s world. The prevailing leadership paradigm, arising from its militaristic origins, over-emphasizes masculine values such as confidence, competition and decisiveness, and focuses primarily on an outside-in, competency-based approach.

Prominent recent leadership models proposed for women in books such as Lean In, How Remarkable Women Lead and The Athena Doctrine address certain desirable leadership behaviors and provide evidence that women are innately suited to a more human and holistic approach to leadership that is needed in the world today: generative, creative, empathetic. However, they do not offer enough guidance on the journey: how women can start from where they are and cultivate their inner capacities to become transformational leaders who combine great strength with an innate capacity for caring. As Joseph Jaworski put it, most leadership models focus on what leaders do, and some on how they do it. But the key question is “from where?”

This unique program aims to awaken men and women to their innate feminine leadership capacities, through an inside-out, consciousness-based approach. That sources directly from their authentic, resilient, life-affirming and regenerative core, their Shakti.
