To kick off the new year, we’re bringing you a special 2026 highlight reel compilation episode of The Leadership Launchpad Podcast - The Legacy Edition, curated from powerful conversations with expert guests who joined us throughout the previous year.

While Susan Hobson and Tracey Allen are away, this episode brings together timeless insights from thought leaders, innovators, philosophers, and leadership practitioners answering one essential question:

What is conscious leadership—and how do we actually practice it?

• Why conscious leadership begins with self-awareness and personal responsibility

• How leaders must learn to regulate their internal state before leading others

• The difference between fear-based leadership and conscious, intentional leadership

• Why navigating paradox, tension, and complexity is a core leadership skill

• How empathy, accountability, courage, and clarity must be held simultaneously

• The daily practices that build conscious leadership over time

• Why conscious leadership is essential in times of rapid change, uncertainty, and disruption
  

This episode is not theory—it’s wisdom drawn from lived experience, reflecting the inner work required to lead with clarity, integrity, and impact.

As we step into 2026, consider this episode an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask yourself:

• How am I showing up as a leader?

• What am I practicing daily?

• And what does conscious leadership look like in my life—right now?
