Positive Impact on a Global Scale.
If your organization is already taking action to create a better world or expand its impact — and you could benefit from a collaborative, values-aligned partnership to develop your leadership team using your actual challenges in real time, with an equity-centered, structured, and unified approach — this is for you.
Conscious Leadership Organizational Pilot
A Unified Approach to Stronger Leaders, Teams, and Organizations.
"When your executive team is under the most pressure — do your values show up, or do they disappear?"
Your executive team has the right values. The real question is whether those values show up in how they lead every single day.
What would become possible if your impact was amplified — not through a new initiative — but through the leaders, teams, and systems you already have?
The Three Tensions Facing Executive Teams
Your organization knows what it stands for, but pressure, competing priorities, and ingrained patterns create gaps between stated values and everyday leadership.
Values Don't Consistently Become Behavior
Your organization knows what it stands for — but pressure, competing priorities, and ingrained habits create gaps between stated values and everyday leadership under stress.
Strong Leaders Aren't Necessarily a Strong Leadership Team
Individual capability doesn't automatically create shared language, coordinated behavior, psychological safety, or collective accountability across senior leaders.
Leadership Misalignment Becomes Organizational Friction
When inconsistency starts at the top, it travels. Trust erodes. Decisions slow down. Culture fragments. And employees feel the gap, even when no one names it out loud.
Together, we can strengthen the connection between:
Values
What your organization believes.
Leadership
How your whole team embodies those beliefs.
Relationships
How those beliefs shape the way people work together.
Systems
How your structures, policies, incentives, and decisions reinforce them.
Impact
What ultimately changes for people, communities, and the world.
One Leadership System. Three Levels of Change.
Powered by six integrated leadership practices: Consciousness · Reflexivity · Intentionality · Congruence · Presence · Pause Practices
Personal
How individual leaders notice, regulate, choose, and align their behavior.
Social
How leaders influence trust, relationships, psychological safety, and team dynamics.
Systemic
How leadership decisions become processes, norms, structures, and organizational culture.
Why This Works
Increase Organizational Capability
Values only create value when people can consistently practice them under real pressure. Turn the values, programs, and commitments you have already built into greater organizational impact.
Strengthen Leadership at Every Level
Equip people throughout the organization to translate values into everyday decisions, relationships, and action. Your external impact can be compromised by internal inconsistency that compromises trust.
Create Greater Consistency as You Scale
A values architecture at headquarters doesn't guarantee a consistent experience across teams, regions, or seniority. Develop greater coherence across the organization so people can navigate complexity and bring those values to life.
What Makes This Different
Team as the Unit of Change
We develop the leadership team as an interconnected system, building shared practices rather than developing leaders independently.
Real Work as the Curriculum
Strategic decisions, culture tensions, transitions, conflicts, and organizational priorities become the material for development.
Equity Embedded in Leadership Practice
Power, inclusion, psychological safety, and systemic impact are integrated into how leadership is practiced rather than treated as separate initiatives.
Built Around Your Organization
Your team brings its context, challenges, and lived realities. I bring the frameworks, research, and methodology. Together, we determine how the practice works inside your organization.
An Integrated 12-Month Engagement
A 12-month engagement · 5–15 executive leaders · up to 8 hours of integrated monthly engagement
Framework Education
Apply the Leadership Consciousness Frameworks to your team's real leadership challenges. Education is grounded in practice, not theory.
Leadership Consulting
Targeted consulting on your actual organizational priorities — culture tension, alignment breakdowns, strategic decisions, and transitions.
Group Coaching
Facilitated group coaching that builds collective insight, psychological safety, shared accountability, and honest team reflection.
Practical Integration
Structured support to embed new practices into real projects, everyday decisions, and the behavioral culture of your leadership team.
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation to understand your culture, goals, and current leadership dynamics.
Baseline → Practice → Reassessment → Evidence of Change
Every engagement establishes a developmental baseline across Personal, Social, and Systemic Mastery. Progress is reassessed throughout the engagement, allowing leaders and organizations to see where leadership consciousness is strengthening and where further development is needed.
Individual Growth
Changes in leadership awareness, intentionality, congruence, and presence.
Team Development
Shared practice, psychological safety, accountability, trust, and leadership alignment.
Organizational Application
Evidence that leadership practices are influencing decisions, processes, relationships, and culture.

"The vast majority of organizations will not be a good fit for this program, and that is okay."
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation focused on your team's culture, current leadership dynamics, and goals — and we decide together if there is alignment for any future collaboration. The vast majority of organizations will not be a good fit for this program, and that is okay.
Increasing Consciousness works with a limited cohort of 3–5 organizations per year. Each partnership receives Aang's direct, sustained attention throughout the engagement.
What Is It Actually Like to Work with Aang?
From government agencies and nonprofits to individual leaders and workshop participants — here's what people experience when they work with Aang Lakey and Increasing Consciousness.
Mx. Lakey is a profoundly insightful, professional, and practical leader. They brought years of military and private sector experience, paired with real-life leadership familiarity, to help us all reimagine antiquated, one-size-fits-all approaches to leading and supervising at the Department.
State Department
Aang helped our participants not only understand self-awareness but also translate it into action. With comprehensive and research-backed materials, our participants left the sessions with deepened knowledge and actionable strategies for their continued leadership journeys.
Atlas Corps
Aang was decades younger than I but decades wiser with a passionate heart to make a difference through strategic initiatives they thoughtfully planned out with compassion, equality and accountability in mind. Although we haven't worked together for over a decade, Aang remains one of the most influential leaders I have had the privilege to work with.
VT National Guard
Powerful and transformative. Aang's raw honesty in sharing brought a level of vulnerability, authenticity, expertise and deep knowledge on the topic as well as thought-provoking insight that left everyone feeling inspired and invited them to reflect on their own values and behaviours.

Aang Lakey's teaching isn't just theoretical — the Leadership Reflexivity Cycle (LRC) feels deeply practical. I now catch myself noticing internal patterns, emotional cues, and misalignments between what I intend and how I act. The guided reflections and real-world applications helped me build a more conscious, grounded leadership presence. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to lead with authenticity and presence.
Executive Leader
Aang Lakey can coax out your best self! They will help you nurture your strengths and challenge you to consider what you might need to reevaluate about your approach toward yourself and others in your professional (and perhaps personal) life. Your interactions will be authentic and compassionate but be ready to tackle the tough stuff. You and those you interact with will be grateful for what Aang can help you access within yourself!
Professional Colleague
Leadership Reflexivity pushed me to slow down, look inward, and understand not just how I lead, but why I lead the way I do. The exercises were simple but powerful, and the instructor has a calm, grounded way of explaining things that makes you feel understood rather than lectured. I'm walking away with a clearer sense of purpose and a more mindful approach to leadership. Absolutely a 5-star experience.

Common Questions — Answered Honestly
"When your executive team is under the most pressure — do your values show up, or do they disappear?"
Aang Lakey · Founder & Facilitator
I started as an advocate for survivors of trauma. After advocating for over a decade, I realized my efforts were better spent preventing the conditions that allowed harm to come to others in the first place.
That insight took me into diversity and inclusion work — and eventually into the leadership arena.
For me, consciousness is a simple idea: awareness. Understanding ourselves. Understanding the people and the environment we're in. Understanding how we're all part of a larger whole.
In a leadership context, that means understanding that a leader doesn't act in isolation. They are part of a larger structural context — from their individual team, to the larger organization, to the societal context that organization operates inside of.
The impact of a single leader can influence not just their team, but the entire organization. And that organization can influence what is happening on a global scale.
The organizations leading tomorrow are the ones willing to do the inner work today.
The Leadership Consciousness Frameworks
Six integrated practices that translate inner awareness and leadership insight into observable leadership behavior.
Consciousness
A holistic approach that weaves together personal insight, social responsibility, and systems awareness.
Reflexivity
Build the capacity to understand your patterns and make conscious adjustments to how you lead in real time.
Intentionality
Act with purpose across thoughts, emotions, behaviors, actions, processes, and community.
Congruence
Close the gap between what you say and what you do, making trust visible and trackable.
Presence
Show up attuned, regulated, and grounded, especially in high-pressure, high-stakes moments.
Pause Practices
Interrupt autopilot and move from unconscious reaction to deliberate, values-aligned responses.
