This Conversation is between Elle Ballard and Kira Leskew on 'What it Takes to be a High Conscious Leader.'

A highly conscious and mindful leader is one who knows how to look within and does it often. It really comes down to truly knowing yourself on a deeper level and requires authenticity to be who you really are.

Conscious leaders focus on the “we” rather than the “me” and realize that their role is to create a culture of trust, care and expansive influence.

A conscious leader understands how he or she shows up in the world and understands the impact they have in the organization and with peers.

They are skilled in self-awareness and self-management, especially of their emotions.
