“Thank you Adair for a truly wonderful and wonder-filled experience. You have created a community where it is safe to be yourself and to grow with the support of a like-hearted community. Who I have become in six-weeks is of great benefit to those I serve in my community because of CLA.”

~ Priscilla .B

“Thank you, Adair for facilitating CLA. Having proven tools and the ability to practice with a community of like-minded professionals is helpful in integrating new practices. I appreciate the frequency and convenience of the online platform and community conversation. My commitment is being fully and completely present, now and now and now, etc. When I am, I am the best version of myself and everyone I touch benefits. Thank you for your loving support.”

~ Howards H.

“I have noticed that my mind and heart have felt disconnected due to a prolonged period of stress for the past 4 years (probably longer). My nervous system has been on alert for a really long time. Conscious Leadership Accelerator brought awareness to the parts of me that need to be tended to. My heart is asking for more attention, compassion, and acceptance and I get to apply the resources shared in our Conscious Leadership Accelerator to expand my heart capacity.”

~ Taryn L.

Rewiring Your Brain and Changing Your Baseline Stress Tolerance

Working professionals and leaders often face a variety of challenges that can be addressed through the Conscious Leadership Accelerator (CLA) program.

Precencing

“Conflict is what happens, when people come together to do meaningful work, and fail to pay attention to the relationship between them.”

~ Meg Wheatley

Personal obstacles include:

    • Desiring to consistently practice mindfulness but can’t commit
    • Harm caused by thoughts and behaviors that are unconscious and reactive
    • Disempowering experiences of navigating change, overwhelming challenges
    • Inability to think creatively (reacting) in the face of complex problems

Relational challenges include:

    • Unresolved conflict that looms as a result of navigating continuous change
    • Unintentional harm we cause when we are unconscious in how we interact
    • Inability to stay in relationship, while navigating creative or collaborative tension
    • Personal triggers, history and baggage getting in the way of effective communication

“The conversation is the relationship.”

~ Susan Scott

Unlocking Human Potential At Scale

Organizational problems include:

    • Failed attempts at personal and professional leadership development
    • A culture of ‘shared victimhood’
    • Staying stuck or stifled in stress cycles
    • Turnover of talented people, who will naturally move away from energy-depleting workplaces
