With the rise of Conscious Leadership, Quantum is the new black. We are quantum energetic beings, living in a universe of unlimited possibilities waiting to be explored. Quantum physics shows us there is no limit to the different possibilities latent within any given situation. There is no limit to the number of possible perspectives on the quantum world. So, how do you lead in this world of technological upheaval, chaos, threats, and opportunity?
Quantum consciousness is a revolution in business thinking and practice. Leaders who have shaken off the pollution of the ages (limiting beliefs and thinking) can begin to generate the immense power needed to ignite the collective consciousness and co-create the world of tomorrow. Humanity is yet to truly grasp the damaging effects of accepting futile and valueless beliefs. Wherever you feel challenged in life – money, sex, health, employment, relationships, or religion – usually comes down to how you manage your energy. The areas where you struggle, where you develop anxiety, anger, and frustration, and where you perform poorly, are all signalling negative beliefs about yourself and that your thinking is not conducive to your best interests. More often than not, your beliefs about important issues rule your life from behind the scenes. These are the areas that need to be addressed and examined, acknowledged and released. Shameful feelings damage your body by acting like unseen termites eating away at the framework of a building. By simply acknowledging the existence of an issue, the blocks and walls are loosened, allowing more energy to flow throughout your entire system.
Conscious Leaders know they do not need to have all the solutions worked out in advance – they are willing to pay attention and notice. They choose to observe and watch for patterns. Ask yourself this: What else is this issue connected to? What higher purpose and great opportunity await me if I see this situation from another point of view? With an open and positive attitude, energy will flow through your body. You may then have the impulse to seek out bodywork or go for a walk, soak in a bath, write in a journal, or even cry for a while. Healthy tears melt down the barriers that block memory and can open the way to releasing what you were holding inside. As long as you cry without feeling sorry for yourself and hosting a boring pity party, your tears can offer a soothing balm that comes from an open heart with the courage to delve into pure feeling. To truly empower yourself, you must recognise your fears as your regular contribution to the current state of global emotional pollution.
“If you do not fill your energetic field with new experiences, new ideas, and new versions of yourself, your field becomes dim and worn, bored with the same old story.”

Pressure is building on the governmental forces as millions of people all over the globe protest and demonstrate the basic rights of life. Within the halls and ranks of world leadership, insider fighting, dark nasty deals, and levels of soul-splintering betrayal have reached an all-time high. Even after the appalling atrocities of the past few years, some people still choose to sedate themselves through the use of designer pharmaceuticals and electronic devices. It may serve you well to ask what core beliefs condition and control people into an anaesthetised and immobilised state? Media-reported events occupy the time and imagination of millions, still demonstrating in many ways a strong belief in the power of authority. Yet the major newspapers are filled with false information. Stories are not what they seem, often written in code, yet even high-ranking journalists readily admit that if they told the real truth they would no longer be able to work.
This raises the issue of people’s beliefs about their jobs, and what they think they must do to earn a living. It is well known in truth circles that a person cannot reach any high level of government office without having already been heavily compromised. Unfortunately, this appears to be true for the world at large. A tremendous misuse of the people’s money and the planet’s resources is fast unraveling, leading to rampant speculation of an explosive radical collapse. Government damage control is scrambling to create clever new cover stories in order to gloss over these shortfalls. However, on the other side of the great divide, a fabulous awakening of the mind is gaining ground. As your perceptions become more enhanced, many things will become much more apparent, and letting go of old beliefs can be experienced as a freeing endeavour. As your beliefs change, allow yourself to face the shocking discovery that nothing is exactly as it appears to be. This realisation must be integrated on a physical level in order to truly penetrate the power of your beliefs and their hold on you. From a larger picture, there is always a greater plan in play. And just as a stage is set for a performance, our world is readying itself for multidimensional interactions with many other forms of intelligence.
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters”

Being accountable to the truth must prevail in all forms of leadership, particularly as we all eventually learn to trust and lead ourselves. This is a critical time for human-heart consciousness to be recognised and applied as a natural and well-intended tool for change. While you sleep and dream, you are connected to the people of the world as well as to other dimensions of existence, and this is where you work out your potential responses and solutions to the shifting sands of change. Once you think you know the truth, breathe it through your heart to test its merit. When you focus your attention into your heart centre, this connection allows you to compassionately walk into the shadows of life and to safely know the truth. Trusting yourself in the midst of a world seemingly gone mad is a wise use of intention. The marketing of a false worldview based on limitation and fear is a creative use of the imagination; however, you must learn to recognise wholesome ideas from pure horsesh*t. At this point in your development, you must be able to tell the difference between genuine information and the endless propaganda that attempts to shape the beliefs of public opinion.
Discernment is to choose wisely, and with this in mind, Conscious Leaders recognise and acknowledge that feelings and sensations are our body’s built-in radar. In accessing any situation, beliefs determine your evaluation. If there are negative programs running in the back of your mind, ask for them to dislodge and be shown the light of day. Once you do this, you could encounter some difficult situations. If you do, face them, work through them and you’ll then be cleansed of their hold over you. Set clear intentions for what you are available to experience, and develop compassion for others to choose whichever path they prefer. The natives are restless all over the globe, and this is a signature of changing times and changing beliefs. You have the free will to do what you want with your restlessness, though it is best to remember that restlessness is an indication of energy stirring. To deal with your fears and limiting beliefs, see them as attributes that you have assigned to reality – something you have fixated upon, grown into, and hypnotised yourself into believing. You can learn to withdraw your attention from old ideas by just letting them go. Without your constant attention, ideas leave like balloons lost to the wind.
“The chains that break you, are the chains that make you.
And the chains that make you, are the chains you break.”

It is vital to develop clear intentions about what you want. Beliefs are like crops that you choose to plant in your garden, and you cultivate quite well as a gardener, yet you must open your inner senses to truly see the deep roots of your invisible core beliefs. There are mass beliefs that actually keep your eyes focused on certain aspects of the light spectrum, ultimately restricting what you can see, while simultaneously other realities are continuously operating around you. Living a well-organised, calm, centered life, without the interference of television or electronic diversions, and with plenty of time in nature, will keep your nervous system tuned up and functioning in a smooth and strong capacity. For leaders, the risks of being stuck in a rut extend beyond being caught in a boring routine or stuck in an emotional funk. Left unchecked, company innovation and performance suffers, engagement and morale may plummet, and good talent leaves when leaders and teams stay stuck. Leadership ruts are serious business, and what makes them hard to see is that the signs often only appear in small ways. Here’s how you know a rut is sneaking up on you.
No events to look forward to?
Calendars are not just timetables – they mirror how we spend our days. The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. What do you have coming up that you are looking forward to? Too many days in a row without bright spots has an impact. Over time, it can hurt our motivation, engagement, creativity, and we may not even realise it is happening to us. Think about it this way: Are you really at your best in meetings you don’t look forward to? Eventually, too many of those impact your performance and your self-respect. There is power in action. Every time we respond with right action in our lives – doing what we know in our hearts is the right thing to do – we strengthen our inner masculine sense of Self, regardless of our physical gender. Since our culture is still operating on the values of empirical Rome, we have been conditioned to associate the masculine energy with warlike behaviours. However, masculine energy is not by nature a destructive force. The masculine energy, when empowered, is proactive and heroic. He answers to his own instinctual nature as a warrior of the highest ethics…not a pawn who betrays his soul’s intrinsic nature to carry out the bidding of corrupt corporations, institutions, and governments.
Conscious Leader Suggestion: Collectively we can heal and empower the authentic masculine on our planet by understanding and empowering the positive expression of the masculine in our own lives…such as taking right action so we preserve life, instead of destroying it. Recognise that a great calendar won’t just happen by itself and taking action to make it happen. It’s easy to get caught up in a trap of thinking that we don’t have control over our calendars. Don’t buy into the old story that work shouldn’t be fun. As good as you are, you’ll be even better if you have days and events to look forward to. Commit to a calendar that energises you into right action for instant results.
Stopped dreaming big for yourself?
Being in a leadership rut can often start from a place of good intentions. Perhaps you’ve been leading through a challenging time and you’ve been focused on getting through the issues at hand. The question to ask yourself is when are you not in a period like this? If it’s always code red all the time, it’s easy to stay in a permanent state of firefighting. This produces the worst kind of leadership rut, where we are never able to get beyond the urgent to tackle the important. Prolonged, this will lead to some dark nights of the soul. Do not allow yourself to wake up 10 or 20 years later and regret not following your heart and tending to your inspirations and visions to live the life of your dreams. This experience is a gift. Do not waste it.
Conscious Leader Suggestion: Make daydreaming as important and strategic as any other high-priority activity. Treat it seriously. Set aside time to sit in your favourite spot (preferably outside) with pen and paper. Answer some simple questions, like “What do I dream about?” or “What do I want to do that I haven’t done yet?” Daydreaming is about unfiltered, unedited thinking, and it is where some of the best ideas for your life can happen. Do your best to become aware of your repetitive thoughts. Are they positive or negative? As you become aware of what’s happening within, then you can change it all to a higher vibe.
Falling into a rut can start off innocently, like always going to the same restaurant and ordering the same thing from the menu. In leadership, this is risky because repetitive thinking and unconscious action limit our ability to be everything we can be for our organisations, our teams, and ourselves. Toughest of all is the fact that other people may recognise that we’re in a rut long before we do. The good news is that we can address this with a few simple changes, and when we do, leadership becomes vibrant, energising, and inspiring once again.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
– Nikola Tesla
There are always a multitude of favourable probabilities from which to choose in any one moment. Worry is a supreme waste of energy in any situation. It creates a disturbing vibration in your field and drains you of energy. To avoid worry, Conscious Leaders deal with the beliefs concerning what they choose to worry about. Release your need to be in charge or in control of everything. Replace your worry with a statement that affirms your choice of safety, comfort, and peace of mind. Learn more about yourself by paying attention to how you manage your energy. Be aware of what no longer works by recognising how your inner ruminations become the movie of life that you meet each day in the outside world. The concept of using quantum physics to explain human consciousness was highlighted in Roger Penrose’s 1989 book, The Emperor’s New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and the Laws of Physics. The book was specifically written in response to the claim of old school artificial intelligence researchers who believed that the brain was little more than a biological computer. Penrose argues that the brain is far more sophisticated, much closer to a quantum computer. Rather than strictly operating on a binary system of on and off, the human brain works with computations that are in different quantum states simultaneously.
The old (Newtonian) business thinking assumed that corporations and markets were like machines, capable of operating with simple, law-abiding certainty and predictability. In this way they were somewhat stable and controllable and best managed in a way that eliminated risk and assured equilibrium. That thinking is no longer fit for purpose. We have entered the quantum age of time defining innovations, transcending the known limits of science and technology. An ever-increasing number of leaders and visionaries are harnessing the power of embracing these higher values and working with the field of consciousness. As these thought-leaders demonstrate the strength and ultimate success from running their companies through a new lens, others are following their example. The trend is sending ripples out through the corporate landscape.
“Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience – to appreciate the fact that life is complex.”

Chaos and complexity apply to physical systems on our everyday level of reality; things like the weather, the flow of rivers, and the beat of a human heart. In the old Newtonian paradigm, nature was seen as simple, and ultimately controllable. The quantum paradigm sees nature as complex, chaotic, and uncertain. It is all around us. It’s inside us, inside our bodies and our minds, and inside nearly every technological gadget on which we’ve come to depend. Nassim Haramein’s discovery of the self-organising, communicative movement of subatomic particles at the base level of all space and matter, has catapulted our understanding of the holographic, entangled nature of our reality. This knowledge and new understanding will be used across industries to reinvent business models using the field of consciousness, energy and vibration.
Business leaders and their companies will either be at the forefront of this transformation or they will experience this paradigm shift through the realisation that if they don’t adapt, they will quickly see an erosion of their equity valuation, brand, and client base. In 2020, as leaders were reeling from a scamdemic wreaking havoc on their companies, 100+ women business owners gathered virtually. They declared “we will not go back to normal because normal is the problem.” These women are hard-nosed business leaders, committed to their organisation’s success while also unwavering in their determination to address societal challenges within the context of business. WeTheChange regularly meet to tackle what we can do together that we cannot do alone. By demonstrating conscious quantum leadership, they address the pressing needs confronting humanity. In this way, they position themselves to lead successfully in an undetermined, yet clearly changed future. We now understand that our intent, vibration, resonance, and inspired action are directly linked to the reality we experience through the quantum entanglement of this field. What was previously written off as unproven theory, conjecture, or not ‘pragmatic or practical enough’ to be considered in the corporate arena, is beginning to take a prominent role in business strategy. The seeds of change are beginning to sprout and grow.

Old, outdated command-and-control style, profit-at-all-costs leadership has failed in a world in crisis. The difference between a Newtonian Leader and a Quantum Leader is that a Newtonian Leader approaches their function in a black-and-white mechanistic way. The Quantum Conscious Leader recognises the vast array of possibilities in all situations. Conscious Leaders realise that leadership is shared and, as a result, understand how to lead while simultaneously empowering their teams to also lead. Quantum Leadership is not just about having a well-oiled machine as an organisation. The idea of right way and wrong way is less central to creating success because they are conscious of the infinite spectrum of possibilities. Perhaps you are feeling the urge to uplevel your style? Here are 10 questions that you can for self-reflection as to what type of leadership you stand in more often.
What kind of leader are you?
Entangled at the Newtonian end? You can change that!
Most of us can authentically answer yes or no to any of the above questions at different times in our lives or even at different moments in the day. This is what it means to be human. We are complex beings. Our ability to stay open to possibilities and to lead with a vision that those possibilities can exist in everyone is key. Our understanding that our ability as true leaders must come from our own authentic passion for what we do in the world is at the core of being a Conscious Quantum Leader.
Answering yes to 5 of the 10 questions above would suggest you approach matters from a Quantum perspective at least 50% of the time; the more you answer yes, the higher the percentage of your time is spent leading from a Quantum perspective. Exceptional leaders thrive with the recognition that all possibilities do exist inside each moment, and inside of each of us. Only from this place, can we give birth to: that historic idea; that legacy-leaving company; that ultimate vision the physical world will never see coming.
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.”
— Richard P. Feynman
Alarmingly, a large percentage of global citizens do not trust leaders to do what is right, according to the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer released in January of 2021. While trust in leaders dropped, demands escalated. The Edelman study revealed a widespread desire for businesses to step in when the government does not fix societal problems. Most said that executives should take the lead. Increasingly, our loyalty to our employers and the companies we patronise as consumers depends on them addressing issues beyond their boundaries. As these unusual times persist, we all recognise at a visceral level the fragility of life and work. We seek leaders who will contribute to the solutions necessary for our wellbeing and prosperity. We want leaders who can navigate an unknown and uncertain terrain. And we are keen to find those rare individuals who can forge new paths forward in a transforming world. Out of these ashes, Phoenix Leadership was born.

otherwise they would not have taken place, since they are voluntary.”

Leadership suited for our swiftly evolving society simply cannot resemble the hierarchical, top-down style pervasive in past years. The volatile conditions of today require trailblazing quantum conscious leaders. People want to see companies that use the power of business to tackle social and environmental problems, while also making a profit. They expect organisations to transform the world. And they will only accept conscious leaders who bring both their hearts and minds to the leadership table. The thinking associated with quantum physics, chaos and complexity stresses the creative potential of uncertainty. It invites leaders to rewire their brains and reinvent themselves to think and behave in a new way – for the highest good of all concerned. Conscious leaders learn how to thrive on uncertainty and instability. They know that creativity and innovation are best nurtured at “the edge of chaos.”
When you have the ability to envision many possible outcomes, you explore a vast range of solutions for addressing problems that appear before you. This exploration is best done from many perspectives. Conscious leaders make use of interconnected networks, dialogue groups, teams-within-teams. Teams are given more room for taking the initiative and self-organising their work structures and practices. The quantum age is upon us, changing everything before our very eyes. No part of human life is unaffected by this change. The impact on management and leadership is just beginning to be defined. If leaders and their organisations are to thrive in the new era, a whole new mindset and skill set must emerge in each one.
“One day, virtually every business will operate with a sense of higher purpose, integrate the interests of all stakeholders, develop and elevate conscious leaders, and build a culture of trust, accountability, and caring.”

We are starting to realise that organisations are dynamic energy – living systems. The new paradigm science says we live in a “participative universe” where conscious observers make reality happen. We are not just responsible for our own actions but for the world itself. Quantum science gives us the vision of an entangled universe where everything is subtly connected to everything else. This means things cannot be described in isolation from their environment or context, and that wholes are greater than the sum of their parts. The quantum worldview also promises to restore meaning and a sense of purpose to our lives and leadership. Hence the rise of conscious capitalism that is focussed on making money for a higher purpose. Conscious capitalism makes and circulates money for what it can achieve in the wider world for the collective. Organisations no longer consist of a series of smaller divisions separately labelled “Product Development,” “Marketing,” “Finance,” and so on. Newtonian models are based on the premise that the world consists of separate little atomic bits. All the new science of the twenty-first century – physical, biological, theoretical – is holistic. Your organisation is holistic too.
With its seismic disruptions to business activities, workplace organisation and team management methods, the past few years forced a rethinking of the already unpredictable future of work. Quantum system dynamics is called into play when the unexpected happens. The brain tries probable realities simultaneously until it arrives at a narrative (a mental model made up of a new set of neural connections) that makes sense. The notion that all fragments are separately existent is evidently an illusion, and this illusion can lead to endless confusion and conflict. Quantum physics is radically indeterminate. Quantum events seem to happen as they happen, without rhyme or reason, making the prediction of any one event impossible. Because they are indeterminate, quantum entities have no fully fixed identity until they are in relationship. Relax, Newtonian control freaks – this is actually a good thing!
“We can’t impose our will on a system. We can listen to what the system tells us, and discover how its properties and our values can work together to bring forth something much better than could ever be produced by our will alone.”
―
Seemingly random chaos gives the quantum system maximum flexibility to define itself as it goes along. When a plan does emerge, it will belong to the group as a whole, rather than being a policy imposed upon them. In a quantum organisation, every employee is a potential leader. The competitive advantage usually rests with the party best able to handle and use the ambiguity. This is why division of labour is an outdated, reductive philosophy. Breaking organisations into competing divisions is reductive because it inevitably leads to Newtonian fragmentation and actual loss of overall control. In new paradigm science, emergence and self-organisation are key. Quantum wholes are larger than the sum of their parts.
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”

Similar to quantum and chaotic physical systems, the future of creative human organisations can only emerge in a free-flowing (that is, not heavily controlled) dialogue with the wider economic, political, social, and ecological environments. That requires a new kind of trust, a trust in the emergent properties of complex situations. When a quantum bit wants to get from A to B, it doesn’t just follow one path. It throws out an infinite number of possible paths called virtual transitions. Each path represents one possible path from A to B – a potential future reality. And, just to make things interesting, in quantum reality B itself is not yet sharply defined. B is still part of a future scenario yet to emerge. Oh, the possibilities!
The most important principle of the new science focuses our attention on the importance of not knowing everything about a situation. The Uncertainty Principle tells us we can only know one member of a pair of complementary variables at a time. We can never know both position and momentum. This has enormous implications in both science and business. We see only what we look for. Anytime we act on a quantum system, we change it. Our questions, our assumptions, our prejudices, our beliefs – in short, our paradigm – determine how we will act, and therefore what changes we will bring about.
“You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.”

The foundational element that is missing in the current business paradigm is the understanding that all of life is interconnected. We are One. In order for humanity to thrive, the truth of our Oneness must become a central organising principle for every aspect and action of the business world. We are all members of a living system whose many parts influence and mutually define each other. The world does not make us. We make the world. This is a crucial insight in the new quantum worldview. We know now there is no radical split between mind and body. Our character is affected by our genetic code, and also by the material and social environment in which those genes flourish. Therefore, there is no more basis for a sharp distinction between public and private, between the selves we bring to work and the selves we share with our families and friends. This distinction is an illusion created by mechanistic structures and attitudes, and it dissolves with their dissolution.
The universe is a vast pool of seething potentiality, an interwoven pattern of dynamic energies that convey information. There is no emptiness. Objects on which we can focus – rocks, trees, stars, buildings, animals, ourselves – are all specific, recognisable patterns of incarnate energy and information. Organisations, too, are persisting patterns of dynamic energy and evolving information. This is why they have character, personality, and a recognisable style over the years – even though employees and leaders come and go.
“Real transformation requires real honesty. If you want to move forward – get real with yourself.”
–Bryant McGill
The structural model for Newtonian organisations is the serial thinking process in the human brain. All Newtonian systems are fated to certain death in a cold and silent universe. Nature is telling us there is a better model for organisations. There is a far superior model for thinking than rule-bound, goal-oriented, linear thinking in isolation. You need a quantum organisation because it aligns with nature and the wholeness of who you truly are. The Quantum model has both the qualities of particle (individualist) systems as well as wave (networked) systems, fuelled further by powerful qualities found in the creative thinking and the organisational potential of our distinctively human brains.
The features of a quantum organisation:
“If your mind carries a heavy burden of the past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through a lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”

Global business easily has the money and the power to make a significant difference in today’s troubled world. By making that difference, it can help itself as well as all of humanity. Denial of a human-centric world and its impact on the planet since the industrial revolution is no longer an acceptable worldview. We must demand from our leaders a deeper understanding of the true nature of reality: Our quantum reality is accelerating expansion and this is driving the future story of humanity. We have the ability to feed, clothe, educate, house and provide true healthcare for everyone. With our safety and survival needs met, it’s possible for us to enter a new era of peace, creativity, prosperity and sustainability for a better world.
We are living in a time when opportunities for self-empowerment, expanded awareness, and spiritual growth appear to be unlimited. When you grasp the quantum nature of reality, you will understand that reality is only limited by your own mental constructs. The truth is you have unlimited creative potential. When you come to understand this, you will no longer see yourself as a product of reality that reacts to circumstances. You have the innate ability to co-create, to form and shape reality to experience anything you truly desire. Where focus goes, energy flows. The more energy you give something, the stronger it becomes and the faster you will draw it into your experience. Creating from the heart is the key. The heart will only create that which is beneficial for all of life. Emotions are quantum in nature, they are the physical manifestation of an intangible signal. Emotions also have a vibratory frequency associated with them. Pure Love is the highest vibration of all. Choose to co-create our future with Pure Love. Together we rise!
“The universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter. We ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”
— R.C. Henry
