2. Inspiring
Conscious Leadership
Today's business environment is volatile, uncertain and
complex. Senior leaders across the globe report increases in
the gap between the levels of complexity they foresee in the
next five years and their own and their organisation's ability
to meet this demand. And it is clear that technical
competence will not be enough if we are to survive and
indeed, thrive in the future.
Both the business world and our society need a new type of
leader – with new levels of consciousness, thinking and
behaviour. People who lead with presence, connection and
authenticity – inspiring, engaging and mobilising others.
Leaders who can align purpose and passion, bringing greater
awareness, openness and resilience to day-to-day interactions
and work tasks.
We need leaders who are able to improve the performance of
the various networks of people, teams and departments that
exist within organisations. This will require thinking beyond
their traditional boundaries of responsibility. Leadership [in
the future] will be about understanding and harnessing
collective - not individual - hearts, heads and hands.
To be effective in this new world, we must equip our leaders
with increased levels of adaptability, self-awareness, network
thinking and consciousness. Our Conscious Leadership
Journey (Cambodia) will provide a transformational
experience for a select group of senior people who will
experience a world we rarely experience or comprehend. It
will help equip leaders for the 21st Century by strengthening
their capacity to:
1. Create meaningful and sustainable change within their
organisation in the context of an increasingly complex
environment
2. Build systems intelligence through an expanded
perspective and an increased understanding of how
social and organisational systems work
3. Lead, develop and inspire others with greater
authenticity and heart – without sacrificing
effectiveness
4. Leverage their strengths, values and purpose and
deepen their understanding of the relationship between
these areas and their organisation’s culture

3. About Cambodia
The fate of Cambodia shocked the world when the radical
communist Khmer Rouge under their leader Pol Pot seized
power in 1975 after years of guerrilla warfare. In pursuit of a
rural utopia, the Khmer Rouge abolished money and private
property and ordered city dwellers into the countryside to
cultivate the fields. Up to two million people died during the
next four years, many from exhaustion or starvation. Others
were tortured and executed.
Cambodia is benefiting from two decades of relative stability,
having endured civil war and the murderous rule of the
Khmer Rouge. As it attempts to end its dependence on
foreign aid, the country's economic potential and natural
resources are drawing foreign investment. Cambodia is still
one of the world's poorest countries, with around one third
of people living on less than one dollar per day. The
enrolment rate in tertiary education is only 14%, which
means the pool of skilled people is very small.
What is crucial now, is that they need to develop their
education sector and they need to build partnerships to bring
more advanced education into the country, especially
vocational training.
A beguiling country, Cambodia rarely fails to enthral. The
obvious draw is the extraordinary temple complex of Angkor,
the impressive legacy of the Khmer Empire and one of the
most astounding sites in the world.
Nestled between rice paddies and stretched along the Siem
Reap River, the small provincial town of Siem Reap serves as
the gateway to the ancient temple ruins of the Khmer
Empire. With a distinct colonial and Chinese style of
architecture this town evolved from a cluster of old villages,
but today is alive with culture, restaurants and bars. There is
a vast array of delicious cuisine on offer in the many
restaurants.
Some highlights of the journey include:
 Guided tour of Siem Reap
 Lunch with LHA’s (Life Hope Association) Child
Development Village
 Hands on building of 2 Peace houses with village locals
 Visit to Angkor Wat & other temples
