It is that mantra that I chant with my eyes closed, my hands placed where I feel discomfort in my body. If you start to notice, it can appear in your gut (enteric brain), or maybe as a tightening in the heart (cardiac brain). The tendency, through traditional education and the day-to-day rush, through fear inflicted on your body, is that you develop an escape strategy, you want to get rid of these unstructured but intense thoughts, feelings, those obstacles. But life is meant to be lived and is always happening for you. Obstacles are communicating something to you, they have a positive intention, very positive indeed. They are communicating a need to you.

In the practice of Conscious Systems®, this mantra is a blessing, a breath of fresh air that invites you to slow down the fast pace, to connect with your true essence, in authenticity and congruence, transforming obstacles into resources.

I invite you to try:

• It is interesting!
• I am sure that it makes sense!
• There is something here that wants to be revealed, wants to be welcomed, healed…
• Welcome!

Always keep in mind the power of choice! Your freedom to choose, at each moment, as many times as necessary, what you want and what you do not want. To choose consciously, with your three brains aligned with you, with your values, with your beliefs.

When I choose to chant the mantra of Conscious Systems®, I am choosing the serenity that only peace offers me, I am welcoming the certainty that everything is always right, everything is always well.

It helps me a lot to bear in mind the “cry of freedom” of Conscious Systems®:

Welcome, integrate and transcend!

Silicon Valley is a real inspiration to me. For two years I have visited the region, a few companies, of which I highlight Google, and I am part of a Mastermind group that was born there. I feel that many things, very good things that are changing the world for better emerge there (my loved Conscious Systems is an example). Of course, I visited SRI International. I had the honor and the luck of having the vice-president, Robert Pearlstein, as a host.

SRI International is an independent, non-profit institute that works in the areas of cutting-edge technologies, from their design to getting to the market. I venture to say that everything that guides what is best in the modern world goes through the rigorous sieve of SRI International. SIRI was born here, such as the mouse, the copy and paste, online banking, the medical ultrasound, oncological treatments… As you can imagine, the field is incredible! Curiosity and creativity guiding the day-to-day agenda!

In such a special place, Success Factor Modeling is king and teamwork is key to success. SRI International believes that the greatest challenges and social opportunities require the collective work of the most brilliant and pragmatic minds, those who think and act out of the box, thus making the difference.

In Silicon Valley (where I am always so happy), the most entrepreneurial and successful companies know well the power of defining intentions, of focus, of flexibility and the result of working as a team, thus generating healthier lives with more knowledge, prosperity and peace. This is what inspires me so much in that valley and what has so much inspired Conscious Systems (taking the risk of being repetitive).

Education (a topic that is so dear to me), biomedical sciences, materials chemistry, IT systems, economic development, energy technology, environmental learning, national security and defense, as well as sensors and devices, artificial intelligence are some of the many areas highlighted at SRI International.  SRI has already registered more than a thousand patents all over the world.

The eternal feminine at SRI International, Silicon Valley and Conscious Systems

This is a place where women (mostly scientists) have a voice, where I found equal value, authenticity, congruence, responsibility and inclusion. In essence, I found the values of Conscious Systems being practiced at SRI International, it was not by change that it was born there. And that is so good! It Is wonderful to see how an institute with the power that SRI International has, in Silicon Valley, takes further beyond the discussion on issues such as diversity, the challenges that women face in their everyday life, the progress standing out and how it is possible to welcome and attract even more women into this brave world. This is really a place where intentions guide optimist and make it happen.

Meanwhile, and since here at home we are all science fans and we try to take it to our daughters (even because the youngest one says she is a scientist and astronaut), knowing that this can be a real challenge I share this research that may interest you, inspire you and open new and potential horizons.

At SRI International, in Silicon Valley, the future is now, it is a decision and it is here! I contribute with Conscious Systems and I believe that, in fact, today the world is a place with more future than yesterday.

May the entrepreneur spirit of Silicon Valley be with you!

Today I begin to share with you a collection of texts with the steps you need to know to be successful on this journey:

Leadership

The ability to express vision (which we explore in depth in our NLP Practitioner), influence and encourage others to achieve results and BE an example!

«Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your purpose.»
Aristóteles

Conscious Leadership

Someone who moves from a centered and aligned state, present, accessing multiple intelligences – the more options you have, the more easily you will understand your way – and living their values in the light of all parts and of something greater.

It is market by:

• Authenticity
• Emotional Intelligence
• Defined intentions
• Responsibility

Assumptions that govern the essence of conscious leaders

• Each BEING is the whole, is part of all other wholes, and in turn is part of the greater whole!
• Each part contains the whole!
• Each part can recreate the whole!

Conscious leaders know that they are not alone, that the Hero’s Journey is now shared together; they know that complementarity exists; they know that to be successful you have to experience situations that are apparently unsuccessful, and they also know how to make the bridge between the two states, to take their learning and grow.

«Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.»
Elon Musk

The essence of conscious leaders calls for something greater, wants to bring something greater to the World. For example, if you want to bring more light to the World, at the same time you are attracting more darkness, the opposite of light. And only after you build the bridge between the two, you are prepared to walk and bring, in fact, more light to the World. It is precisely because we know the opposite of light that we want to bring it to the World. This is called balance.

«Be the change you want to see in the World.»
Mahatma Gandhi

For us, Portuguese, politics aside, it is a blessing to have a conscious leader acting as a President of the Republic! Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa personifies this essence that is so human after all.

After completing the Conscious Leadership and Resilience with Success Factor Modeling course at the University California Santa Cruz (UCSC), the Silicon Valley Learning Journey and having become the first coach certified as Conscious Leadership Coach in Portugal, by Dilts Strategy Group, I know that the essence of these leaders is within reach of all those who walk consciously.

What is your leadership status asking you at this very moment?
