Light Dao Salon: A Conscious Leader's Compass (Lisbon)
Clarity. Connection. Contribution
A Fireside Chat & Workshop with Lance Diaresco
We’re entering a new era of leadership.
AI acceleration. Geopolitical instability. Shifting workforce expectations.
The pressure to scale and adapt is constant, but so is the quiet call for something deeper.
As machines get better at being machines, what does it mean to get better at being human?
With trust in leadership at historic lows (20%, Gallup 2024) and 75% of leadership development programs falling short (Training Industry Inc, 2025), it’s time to ask:
What does a more conscious way of being, leading, and living look like?
Conscious leadership is the integration of our identity, action, and impact.
It’s about aligning who you are, how you connect, and how you serve.
Whether you're a parent, founder, coach, or team leader,
we all long to lead with clarity, compassion, and courage in an increasingly complex world.
This evening offers a moment to pause and reset — a soul-nourishing space for realignment. Together, we’ll explore:
How to reconnect with your values, gifts, and evolving purpose
How to build trust and meaningful connection — from home to team to community
How service becomes regenerative and expansive
Lance will guide us through the Me–We–World Compass — a practical and soulful framework for living and leading from the inside out.
Align Me-We-World, and we thrive. Neglect one, and we pay a price.
Without Me, we lose ourselves.
Without We, our relationships fall apart.
Without World, even our greatest achievements feel hollow.
The Me–We–World Compass isn’t a milestone you reach. It’s a daily practice you embody.
This will be a space to reflect, reconnect, and walk away with take-home tools for deeper integration.
