Book - Conscious Impact

This book masterfully bridges the worlds of business leadership and contemplative wisdom, offering a practical 6 week roadmap for leaders seeking to effectively impact our complex and often frustrating world.

Leading a company as a CEO in today’s unpredictable world demands a great deal of care—both for yourself and for those around you. Staying mentally strong and aligned with your personal values is key and a skill that can be cultivated. Susanne’s new book is the ideal practical guide for any leader looking to embark on the journey toward 'mindful leadership.

Susanne offers wise and helpful perspectives and practices for leaders in this challenging time.

In times of turmoil and confusion, changing the way we go forward is much more about the "how" than the "what". This book gives a comprehensive approach and good hints for so many people feeling lost. It addresses the current emptiness of the word "leadership" by emphasising that it is, first and foremost, a journey in the company of others towards humility and courage.

The perilous times we are witnessing require an evolutionary step up by leaders everywhere. We clearly will not build a flourishing world for people and planet by using the same extractive and destructive logic that has become mainstream. Conscious Impact gets straight to this evolutionary need by embedding the business acumen and existential awareness that are Susanne von der Becke’s hallmarks. Few authors truly understand both worlds the way she does. I strongly recommend not only reading it, but using it frequently as a source of knowledge and wisdom for the challenging years ahead.

What’s gotten leaders here will not get them to the “there” the world needs now. Conscious Impact delivers the expanded toolkit modern leaders need to navigate the shifting terrain of creating impact and building success for the journey ahead. Through vivid stories, clear images, and thoughtful exercises, Dr. von der Becke maps the path – and guides the mindsets – for bringing true humanity to the role of leadership. It’s a one-stop handbook to the essential changes shaping leadership excellence as we face the future.

Many conscious leaders, including myself, are convinced that systems change does not happen without inner transformation. I refer to this as ‘mindset shift for systems change’ or ‘cosmic dance between inner and outer transformation’. Susanne has created a compelling and inspiring book for business leaders, who want to explore this dance, who have decided to cultivate clarity, resiliency, and heartfulness - necessary ingredients for leading, co-creating, and co-envisioning our future. This is a must read for any business leader, who has the desire and intention to co-create the biggest transformation humanity has ever experienced, the transformation from an extractive economic and financial system to a regenerative one.
