Consciousness Rising Above VUCA - A Conversation with Marika Messager

A Leadership Beyond

We are hearing the clarion call for a new model of leadership in this age of unprecedented change.

In our latest conversation Marika Messager shares her early experience as a young woman, working in the toxic, fast-paced, male dominated financial services industry. Her first experiences of questioning the root causes of toxicity were about her personal survival in a difficult world.

Through her experiences, she came to understand that we needed a new paradigm of leadership based on different values of co-creation of understanding of inclusion, acceptance, compassion and collaboration.

Marika is one of the pioneers of Conscious Leadership, which is now becoming more and more a topic of discussion. Ten years ago, before it was generally understood, Marika began really unpacking what it means to be a conscious leader and how do we create conscious leaders one at a time?

Her insights and perspectives hold significant value for both the individual leader’s development, the organization, and society, making this interview a valuable source of individual inspiration, reflection, and conversation with those you touch.
