New Book Challenges Conscious Leaders to Examine Destructive Behavior
In her book, Conscious Leadership in the Workplace: A Guidebook to Making a Difference One Person at a Time, executive coach Rosalie Chamberlain reveals that self-awareness—the framework for how we see ourselves—also influences how we see others and is the starting place to determine how effectively you lead. Are you biased? How diverse is your team? Do you combat inclusion?
“Successful organizations foster an environment of inclusion, and this behavior promotes engagement and motivation which, in turn, drives innovation,” says Chamberlain. “It’s a two-way street, however, individuals must take charge of their career to succeed in that environment. Conscious Leadership in the Workplace guides individuals and leaders to realize their potential, breaking through beliefs and behaviors that impede success.”
Chamberlain is a certified iPEC Coach and Energy Leadership Practitioner who works with organizations and individuals to identify behaviors that motivate, inspire and create, as well as those that block creativity and performance. Part guide, part workbook and part inspiration, Conscious Leadership in the Workplace provides unique yet palpable solutions for individuals and leaders to identify the complexities of conscious and subconscious behavior patterns—from issues of racism, sexism, classism and privilege—to creating collaborative teams and becoming an employer of choice.
Conscious Leadership in the Workplace introduces readers to the steps to begin to identify where you currently are and empowers you to get where you desire to be. Chamberlain’s new book is about consciousness as it relates to the individual and, more specifically, how leaders can understand the impact of consciousness.
“We all lead, whether we’re leading others in organizations, in our communities, associations, or in our individual lives,” adds Chamberlain. “Conscious leaders, however, play a huge role in organizations, and can act as catalysts for growth. Conscious leaders are naturally inclusive and as a result, the organization benefits from the utilization of the rich and varied talents of the workforce.”
Thus, each chapter of Conscious Leadership in the Workplace includes simple steps for bringing greater consciousness into your leadership. Chamberlain looks deeper into what being inclusive means, talks about the differences between misconceptions and reality, and what gets in the way of becoming an empowering and engaging leader working with an energized, productive team. She takes the discussion of inclusive and dynamic leadership to the next level with powerful tools and exercises that help you create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and succeed.
Conscious Leadership in the Workplace also includes the following themes:
· I am missing something? Uncover that elusive “something” in your career to make it more purposeful
· Passive aggressive leadership: how to say what you mean and mean what you say

· Successful practices for attracting and retaining the best talent
· Leadership styles: the danger of dualistic (black or white) thinking
