Thoughts from Conscious Leadership Coach Sue Heilbronner

Love can push and be painful. But love can also take a deep breath and be open. I'm choosing the latter.

Before you make a list of things you want to do next year, here's something to mark off you list in the present moment.

Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all (and it shouldn't be).

How you listen matters a lot.

How you respond to a question can be more than just what you say.

The right coach at the right time is a gift. I happened to find one on the golf course when I needed her most.

Why do I write reviews

I'm willing to try something different: to show up as me.

Are you worthy of your position? Are you worthy of love?

What does withholding feedback cost you?

Everything I “do” in the world and everything I “am” in a day or a week or this lifetime is inextricably linked to the rich and deep landscape of my emotions.

Will you trust that I’m doing it the best way I know how to do it?

If you know me. If you read these posts. If you have broken bread with me, I imagine you have witnessed both the push and the embrace.

What does it look like when a company makes Conscious Leadership a cornerstone of its operating system?

Try replacing "my" with "the" and see if something happens.

My calendar is full and I'm saying yes to that.

Waves and waves and waves of feelings.

I’m allowed to be healthy, and I need to eat to live.

Practicing what you preach isn't easy and you don't always feel awesome.

Drinking is fun for some, but not everyone. Have you tried ice cream?

The "human" stuff is really hard, too.

I'm celebrating the impressive wins of the women in my life.

The first step to building trust? Start on time.

The days of a captive audience are over. It's on you to captivate.

There is a giant middle of the failure-to-success continuum that should be part of our mindsets.

Kamala Harris models unconventional love and winning after "failing"

What does it look like to be a conscious, self-aware contributor?

Candid feedback is a key element of Conscious Leadership. Even on Zoom. Especially on Zoom.

How would you show up differently if your normal "out" wasn't available?

And the price point for each one.

For many years, my close ones have advised me to take all of the brands I’ve spun up and fold them inside a website that is just my name.

Feedback can be just as much about what I hear as what you say.

I realized that just seeing more people of color walking down these streets would be noticeable and salutary.

If you can intentionally preserve core values for over 105 years, or even five years, you’re doing something incredibly special.

Spending more time in your zone of genius gives you access to your full potential and maximum creativity. Use this tool to explore genius in relation to your day-to-day job.

I've realized I want to let go of some things and it feels like the absolute intersection of fear and openness.

If you want a culture of more consciousness, start with how you are behaving. Right now.
