“Authentic power delivers the magical, elusive quality of real connection with the people, the business and the brand. A light is turned on from the inside out.” ~ Gretchen Fox Palmer, Forbes.
Leadership has never demanded more from us.
In today’s fast-moving, high-stakes world, business acumen alone isn’t enough. True leadership calls for the emotional intelligence to navigate:
- Challenging interpersonal dynamics
- Generational and cultural shifts
- Complex socio-political pressures
- Constant change and disruption
Strong, steady leadership isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of resilient teams, sustainable performance, and lasting success.
Conscious Leadership is your advantage.
It’s the ability to stay centered, values-aligned, and resourceful—especially when the pressure is high. It’s how you hold integrity when things get messy. It’s how you build trust, mobilize others, and lead teams that thrive through uncertainty.
But let’s be real—this kind of leadership takes everything you’ve got.
You don’t have to carry it alone.
This is your space to steady.
The Conscious Leadership Collective is where leaders come to clear the noise, strengthen their inner foundation, and stay connected to what matters most.
You’ll be surrounded by experienced, growth-oriented leaders who are also holding complexity and choosing to do business differently. Together, we sharpen each other.

Who is this for?
The Conscious Leadership Collective is for experienced people leaders—founders, executives, team leads, and culture shapers—who are navigating real complexity. You’re purpose-driven. You care about your people. And you’re looking for a grounded space to strengthen your capacity to lead with clarity, courage, and connection.
How much time do I need to commit?
The live Masterclasses and Peer Circles happen monthly and run 90 minutes. Beyond that, you can engage as deeply as you choose. The 30-Day UNchallenge takes just 5–10 minutes a day, and the learning portal is always available for review on your schedule.
This is designed to fit into your life—not overwhelm it.
What if I miss a session?
No problem. All masterclasses are recorded and added to your private learning portal, so you can revisit them anytime. You’ll never fall behind.
What kind of support is included between sessions?
You’ll have access to as-needed email support from Gretchen—whether you need a gut check, are navigating a tough conversation, or simply want to ground your thinking. Because leadership doesn’t wait for the calendar.
Can I expense this through my company?
Yes. Many members are sponsored by their organizations as a professional development investment. If you need a customized receipt or help communicating the ROI to your employer, we’re happy to support you.
Is the Leadership Retreat included?
The retreat is optional and not included in the base program cost. It will be available for an additional fee after the 6-month cohort ends. Think of it as a powerful closing container—a place to reflect, reset, and reconnect in person at Kenshō Stables.
What’s the investment?
$149/per month. We’ve intentionally priced this to be a high-value, deeply supportive container that’s more accessible than private executive coaching—but with just as much transformation.
How do I know if this is the right fit for me?
You value presence over performative leadership. You’re here to grow yourself while leading others. You’re willing to be real, to listen deeply, and to rise—together.
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
