Conscious Leadership: Leading With Purpose And Light With Jennifer Mulholland

Brave Women at Work

It’s been a season of transitions, with both endings and new beginnings. I’ve been fortunate to travel all over the world this year, including Greece, Croatia, Portugal, Ireland, and Aruba. After a period of constant movement, it feels good to know that I’ll be home for most of the time moving forward. The crazy travel is coming to an end, at least for now. My birthday just passed, marking my 47th trip around the sun. 47 years old! Another new beginning. Wow! Remember when that used to feel old? Well, not anymore. There have also been some significant beginnings and endings in my corporate work. While I won’t dive into the details, I’ve found that transitions in work can stir up emotions too. I’m sharing this because it’s important to acknowledge that we bring our whole selves to work. When things are in a state of flux, it’s okay to feel excited, sad, worried, frustrated—whatever feels right for you at the moment.

My guest today, Jennifer Mulholland, joins me for a conversation on a much-needed topic—what it means to practice Conscious Leadership. As the memes say, anyone can be a manager, but it takes radical honesty, self-awareness, a sense of responsibility for ourselves and our people, a willingness to put in the work, and so much more to truly be a leader.

During our conversation, Jennifer and I discussed:

• The story behind Jennifer co-founding Plenty Consulting
• What ThetaHealing is, and how it’s similar and different from Reiki
• How Jennifer integrates both the practical and the spiritual in her work with individual clients, groups, and corporations
• Why passion—what gets us up in the morning—is so important to Jennifer
• Her book, Leading with Light: Choosing Conscious Leadership When You’re Ready for More, and the four lights of conscious leadership
• How surrender plays a crucial role in Conscious Leadership
