Conscious Leadership & Ethics Summit 2024

Truth or Dare.

The Conscious Leadership and Ethics Summit 2024, held at Melrose Arch last week, had telling messages for leadership in both the political and business environments. The role of leadership, particularly before the elections, was crucial at that point in the country and globally. Voters who voted with wisdom needed to ensure that the leaders they chose displayed integrity, compassion, capability, commitment, accountability, ethics, and a systemic, holistic alignment of consciousness.

The key outcome of the Summit was the Conscious Leadership Strategic Report, which aimed to offer solutions and provide a profound new framework for the country’s leadership to help reflect, analyze what was missing, understand what had gone wrong, and determine what needed to be done. The annual Report, arduously compiled by the voices of the delegates, speakers, panelists, and international icons from the Summit, nurtured a fervent hope that leaders would have the courage and resilience to act on its insights and input. The objective was to embed conscious ethical behavior and inspire leaders to pioneer inward transformative journeys to grasp consciousness.

Local and global icons, humanitarians, and some of the country’s foremost thinkers on consciousness, governance, ethics, and wisdom participated in the Summit. They included Tsakani Maluleke, Auditor General SA; directors of the Conscious Leadership Academy, Guru Kali and Dr. Jan Bellermann; Palesa Phili, CEO of the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industries; Lubin Ozoux, CEO of Sumitomo Rubber SA and winner of the Conscious Companies Awards 2023; Rowan Gillies of Blu-Dot Advisory; and Dr. Richa Arora of the University of Stirling (UK).
