ISSSP Leadership Circle - ONE: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership (a professional development workshop)

The International Society of Six Sigma Professionals is a community of leaders and practitioners interested in professional development, service, information sharing, networking and recognition. In Leadership Circles, we invite Six Sigma professionals to explore areas of concern, discover new ways of thinking, and share insightful experiences and lessons.

"Conscious Leadership" is the subject of this Leadership Circle, featuring Leadership Advisor Lance Secretan. Lance was the second highest ranked speaker at the 2006 ISSSP Leadership Conference and is a national Top 10 speaker. In Lance’s own words:

Six thousand years ago we were one—we shared the same stories and myths, mysteries and magic. The classical Greek philosophers began the process of separate thinking. The great Renaissance thinkers picked up the pace and the genius of our modern scientific and technical era has unraveled this precious human asset. If we continue to separate ourselves—liberal/conservative, black/white, young/old, rich/poor—we will wither as a society, perhaps as a species.

Conscious Leadership inspires self and others to reframe what we see by making the connections between all the parts —countries as kin, corporations as communities, employees as whole humans, religions as partners rather than competitors. In this knowing we gain a greater understanding of how all our actions touch and connect with everything else.
