(*Seeing what is not there yet – grand vision & bigger picture; as people uniters bringing teams & entire organizations together - leading them in a common direction)
Apply Empowered Leadership Communication: Speaking up with vibrant authenticity versus plastic authenticity - using relational conversation & heart messaging and impactful communication tools.
Stop repeating history in dismantling unconscious sabotaging patterns among women based on the wisdom of multi-generational trauma and strengthen support for each other.
Promote Female Resilience in understanding the difference between reacting with typical female coping mechanisms and acting on our internal natural resources & capacity to self-regulate with self-compassion, mindfulness & meditation.
Explore to successfully combine motherhood, passion for work & self-care with a stimulating network of peers, ‘I am enough mindset’, emotional presence, healthy boundaries, and letting go of “working mom guilt”.
‘Learning by teaching’ – choose a self-selected peer group (3 to 4 peers) and become a multiplier for conscious female leadership.
Reach out & collaborate with Conscious Men. We have been raised in a patriarchal system. We now need to step out, explore the unknown as pioneers & understand in which setting our natural female strength unfolds. On a visceral level, conscious men understand the next steps of female leadership development. They are supportive and want us to thrive for the good of humanity.
Together we will
- Explore the future of female leadership (expanding patriarchal systems), our greater purpose & interconnectedness with all of life:
- To bring a higher level of coherence & intelligence into our environments
- To liberate our capacity to respond creatively & whole-heartedly to the collective challenges we are facing
- Experience the vibrancy of a female leadership community to contribute, collaborate & co-create healthy, productive & conscious environments.
- RISE!
Participants receive a certificate upon completion.

Who is the right candidate?
To select the right candidate please consider the following:
There needs to be a willingness to change personally and within a community.
This is not a typical corporate program; it is a unique & new experience and can be confrontational.
Inner Work first: Leadership is about leading yourself first. Therefore, we emphasize being committed to doing the daily self-inquiry practice of 10 to 20 minutes. Each month's topic comes with a different practice.
Professional contemporary spiritual teachings, as well as mindfulness & meditation, will be part of the program.
Some nominees felt that 'the program was imposed' on them. They were nominated and did not dare to say no. They came with resistance.
'Many business leaders have been trained to work with precise agendas and the safety net of PP. As a result, they tend to overthink and get stuck in the complexity of problem fixing. These automatic & mental re-actions and behavioural patterns hold them in their corporate comfort zone.' This program contains tools & methods, but it is not a method. It is an approach, a learning experience, and a journey into new territory. The journey transforms, not specific tools. For those who are holding on to traditional corporate programs, this is not for them. If candidates don't feel the need, the inner calling, or readiness, they stick to familiar pathways, even if their intention is very different.
Transformation - particularly in this time and as a minority in a patriarchal system - needs 100% commitment. It requires courage, curiosity, readiness, and consistent INNER & REPETITIVE WORK overtime. Unfortunately, the transformational journey cannot be pushed through, demanding quick fixes and results. These deadlines are counterproductive and slow down the process massively. Today, many business leaders are overloaded or under too much pressure and consequently unwilling to take the time to go beyond surface promises and change. They do not see the need YET. This type of work needs a serious and wholehearted effort. If not taken seriously, it affects those who feel dedicated and willing to change personally and as a group.
The female way of learning embeds compassionate inquiry and balances the physical, spiritual, intuitive, emotional, and intellectual aspects, which we will explore during the program. Candidates will be invited to step outside their comfort zones to make unchartered discoveries about themselves.
As a Joint Venture partner, it is vital to hold the space for the new to emerge. There has been a tendency to jump in, rescue, 'mother,' and validate protection. It weakens the process, even if it comes with the best intentions. JV partners usually want to support their participants during the process, but - without knowing - they hinder their growth journey and the work of facilitators. Please note: These programs will trigger participants. The triggers usually come with judgements & projections. As facilitators, we don't medicate but intend to liberate participants. We free them from their self-created stories and coping mechanisms. We guide them to what is happening WITHIN them and inquire about the root of their triggers. We, therefore, ask our JV partners to remain open and trust our knowledge and profound experiences.
It is the personal responsibility of each participant what she takes out of it! If the intention is to boost the global community's power, collaboration & female connection, you need to choose your candidates differently. You need to select suitable candidates for the greater good of the community. Talent scouts in the US call it 'the IT factor'. Imagine how you would choose athletes for a strong sports team. Your choices are connected to the greater good of the team/ group. This program is supposed to support collaboration versus competition.
The right candidate is already asking herself:
- What is my purpose? Who am I here to be, and what am I here to contribute as a modern female leader?
- How can I learn to receive as much as I give and create more balance in my life?
- How can I speak up with honesty, clarity, relatability & bravery? What is my core message? How do I use communication to invite & embrace versus push & intimidate?
- How can I support other female leaders & professionals to rise?
- What untapped resources haven’t I used yet?
- 'The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift – Albert Einstein.

Program Delivery – key elements
Pre-selection & Casting of Candidates: In cooperation with our joint venture partners, facilitators co-lead the final selection of participants to a. mindfully choose a cohesive yet diverse group for creating momentum as a robust conscious community and b. choose women who are 100 % committed to their inner work & personal growth journey. We’ve found that casting the right people (based on engagement & energy, strong character & courage, readiness & time investment, emotional, social & spiritual intelligence, and IT-factor) is critical for the impact & success of the program.
Live Workshops: Optional 2.0 days LIVE kick-off (and 1.5 days capstone workshop) to engage participants with high energy, emotional bonding & heartfelt connection, and a strong feeling of safety. Joint Venture partners share the financial investment.
Bi-weekly Virtual Events: Facilitated interactive workshop-like sessions twice a month for 90 minutes. We will address the topic of the month – integrating self & group learnings – and taking these learnings to a deeper level of embodiment.
Bi-weekly Practice Groups: Participants will be divided into practice groups of 4 to work on their self-, community& socialawareness assignments, exchange their insights & reflections, and learn from each other. Sessions last 60 to 75 minutes. Every group receives one facilitated group session.
Monthly Multiplier Circles: Participants are invited to select their multiplier circles of 3 - 4 female colleagues. Participants meet their peers once a month - outside their company for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or pizza night. They will be empowered to teach the month's topic as an interactive impulse and create a ripple effect in their organization.
Soul Sister Tandems: Participants will be merged as tandems to receive support & feedback from their "soul sister buddy" during the process of the community journey.
Compassionate Inquiry Sessions: Each participant receives one individual coaching session during the month of December.
Certificate of completion: 80% attendance is needed to receive the certificate of completion from the Conscious Business Institute.
*Recommended: Facilitated integration meetings with CEO & JVP: To strengthen the integration of the personal & group growth experience, we'll offer optional integration meetings about why, when & how to make the learning journey impactful, relatable, and applicable for the company.
Required investment
Header | Investment per participant |
|---|---|
For Joint Venture Partners (industry participants) | €2000 |
For Individuals (female leaders & professional women) | €2.500 (payment in 2 instalments possible) |
*For Students | €500 (5 scholarships available) |
This includes:
- 12 Online Events, Facilitated Study Groups, WhatsApp Community Engagement & Mentorship: Masterpiece Presentations & 4 Talk Shows (4 to 5 participants per talk show).
- 1 Compassionate Inquiry Session per participant (60-75 minutes).
- Certificate of completion.
- 2 introductory guideline sessions of 60-75 minutes / 20 participants per group to set the context shortly before program starts.
*Opportunity for Students
To create multipliers of conscious female leadership, we believe there is a need for a cross-generational exchange. There are outstanding young women out there with so much learning and growth potential. Therefore, we would like to open the program in a form of scholarship to students from universities and educational institutions so that they have a chance to learn and start their leadership growth as early as possible. (max 5 for the whole cohort).
We have seen programs, such as Oprah Winfrey’s amazing leadership academy for young girls in South Africa, or sports teams where women learn very early to be supportive and be leaders for themselves and their teams, which inspired us to consider integrating the right candidates from universities into the Global Community for Female leaders program and nurture these young women so they can grow into their leadership potential from early adult age. These young women who want to learn from senior female leaders, or other juniors and who feel comfortable being in a beginner position will be able to grow into the great female leaders we need in the future.
Optional Additional Payment – 2.0 Days LIVE KICK-OFF
Current options for the venue: Quito – Ecuador or Cancun/ Isla Mujeres – Mexico
Personally, welcoming our participants to the program:
- Creating emotional bonding & personal engagement
- Sharing personal experiences, hopes, needs & desires
- Making space for heartfelt connection with facilitators & participants and playtime
- Building a sense of ONENESS based on trust, honesty, vulnerability & safety. “Vulnerability is the foundation for transformation; without vulnerability, personal growth is impossible”.

Words of diplomacy & politics alone are neither bringing teams together nor moving them forward. We need a leadership communication style that is personal & immediate, that takes ownership & is self-reflective. A communication style that touches on shared feelings & common ground, embraces people's diversity & shapes the next chapter of sincere leadership conversation.
