Tara Sheahan, founder of Conscious Global Leadership
Tara Sheahan is the founder of Conscious Global Leadership, an organization whose mission is to support leadership development through mindfulness training and emotional intelligence.
CGL’s curriculum is results-oriented, and designed for personal and business growth.
Trained as an elite athlete in cross-country skiing, she found her dream job as a VP in sports marketing and television. She left the corporate world to become ‘super Mom,’ and with husband Casey, CEO of Patagonia, raised two young boys.
Her most valuable life training came through contracting Lyme disease in her mid-30’s. Losing the ability to walk, think, or function without pain, she searched for that ‘magic pill’ to cure herself, and discovered that true healing must happen through an understanding of the body/mind connection.
She spent the next 15 years becoming an expert in the ‘art of inner listening,’ using meditation and mindfulness practices to understand how our thoughts influence our health, well-being and success.
After Tara recovered from chronic illness, she nearly qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, at the age of 45.
How did she do it? “Through immersions, workshops, private coaching and mentoring,” says this Truly Amazing Woman.
In the years since, Tara has introduced and taught mindfulness at eBay, The Aspen Institute, the World Caring Conference, and New York’s “Peaceweek,” as well as with dozens of corporate clients and leaders who are making an impact across the world.
Conscious Leadership is an Inside Job
Leaders have an extraordinary ripple affect. We have the power to inspire greatness at home and in our workplace, by first inspiring it within ourselves. This can only occur through inner awareness of thoughts and beliefs that drive us every day. They can be fear-based or love-based. Right now, for example, what thoughts are driving YOU?
By tapping into our innate emotional intelligence, understanding the nature of the mind and it’s ‘patterns’ and ‘conditioning,’ we can release old beliefs that no longer serve us. Becoming conscious isn’t about changing who we are, it’s to better understand ourselves through self-acceptance and compassion. It’s to feel comfortable with ‘me,’ so others can do the same.
The result? Discovering that work IS play, with success and prosperity as a natural byproduct. Being inspired everyday becomes easier, as we choose the activities, people, and situations that lift us up. And relationship challenges are a golden opportunity to deepen our connection with those we love…and those that can be hard to love. CGL believes that it’s about the commitment to grow that makes a truly conscious leader.
