Forbes Councils 2021 (Virtual Presentation)

The Four Questions Every Conscious Leader Asks

In this session, attendees learned that healing from our past trauma informs our efficacy as leaders. Particularly as women in leadership roles, there are common misconceptions around empathy and vulnerability. Kelly expressed that being unapologetic about our values helps us create more sustainable businesses. She shared with us four questions every conscious leader asks.

• Where am I? (How am I showing up right now?)
• Can I accept where I am? (Can I stay with the emotion?)
• Am I willing to shift? (Beyond wanting to, will I commit?)
• How am I going to shift? (What or how will I change?)
