Leadership for a New World – Lessons from a Reiki Master

Ashley Castle Barnes

About the session: What if we’ve actually been doing leadership wrong? It’s becoming clearer than ever that modern leadership demands more than a top-down, productivity-based, corporate paradigm where leaders are “in charge”. It demands more than a focus on force-fitting outward behavior into a prescribed set of skills or competencies that attempt to define success for people. We can do better. And we must do better, which is why we’re here. In this session, Ashley Barnes will share her unique insights as both a corporate L&D professional AND a “Reiki Master” that can help us break free of old models, and bring forth holistic approaches to integrate healthier, more impactful and inclusive, and human-centered strategies for growth. For everyone.
