A collaboration between Caroline van den Bogaard and Julia Hart, the Conscious Leadership Program goes beyond awareness, transforming how people communicate, connect, shape company culture and lead.
With decades of experience in leadership development, cultural transformation and courageous communication, we bring both professional expertise and deep personal commitment to this unique program.
We don’t just teach inclusive leadership;
we help you build the culture that sustains it.

CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
A leadership journey for diverse leaders and their allies.
Expand awareness, strengthen trust, and drive cultural change together

The Challenge
In today’s organizations, talent is everywhere, yet not everyone thrives. Too often, underrepresented talent adapts to a culture that wasn’t designed with them in mind.
The result? Lost potential, declining engagement, and a leadership pipeline that fails to reflect the diversity of talent inside the company.
The Conscious Leadership Journey helps organizations move beyond “fixing diverse talent” toward a deeper transformation: creating cultures where awareness, authenticity, and inclusion become natural parts of leadership.
If your organization wants to retain and advance all talent, the question isn’t “What do they need to fix?” but rather “What does our culture need to see?”

Imagine a workplace where
- Differences spark creativity instead of tension,
- Leaders create safety instead of silence,
- Conversations build bridges instead of walls,
- Talent no longer adapts to fit in, but is free to bring their unique selves to the table.
This program is designed to support you in getting there. It expands awareness, in self, in others and in the system so all talent can influence culture from the inside out.
Who is it for?
Organizations that want to retain and promote all talent
Diverse leaders & their allies who want to grow and build trust together
Leaders ready to look deeper – beyond the numbers – and explore the culture underneath
Companies that believe in awareness, seeing inclusion as the foundation of performance
