GAIA Coaching
Mastering Conscious Leadership Development

A leader is one who motivates everyone to achieve heights of success. A position of power, however, can lead to a false sense of confidence in one’s own leadership ability. A recent study conducted in 2018 by Dr. Tasha Eurich revealed that even though most people believe they are self-aware, only 10-15 percent actually are. Evidently, the majority of leaders are unaware of their problems.

So, how do we become a more self-aware leader in the first place?

“I have been exploring, coaching and teaching ‘conscious leadership’ for over eight years now. By delving into this topic, I have been able to free my clients from ongoing, nonresourceful frustration, and disappointment at work and all areas of their lives,” answers Susanne Rauer, the CEO & Executive Master Coach of GAIA Coaching.

With core strength and focus on conscious leadership, Susanne’s firm GAIA Coaching aims to facilitate congruent, long-lasting change by empowering clients to make well-informed and conscious decisions, moment by moment. The GAIA Executive Coaching program is built to engage personal and professional development in a way that creates a tangible ROI for an organization while putting the personal development of the leader at the heart of the program—and that sometimes means a change of job, a change of organization, or even to pivot into the startup scene.

“Our coaching sessions are always 90 minutes long; 90 minutes because the people we work with, are most of the time busy and once we have them in the room (virtually or physically in our office in Sydney, Barangaroo), we want to make sure that we have the opportunity to work through a lot of ideas, challenges, and opportunities,” states Susanne.

We want to ensure that the first part of the coaching is always very practical and down-to-earth to check in on how participants are, what worked well for them after their last coaching session, what didn’t work so well, and therefore, what needs to be tried next. The second half is always more structured and strategic in nature, and there are three different programs—executive coaching program, career coaching program, and business coaching program.

Susanne believes that when executives lead from a place of higher conscious awareness, it allows them to move beyond reacting to daily stressors and interruptions and focus on what is truly important and generates meaningful outcomes from a place of authenticity. From an organizational standpoint, this can mean growing business revenue, managing and cultivating trust within senior leadership teams, cultivating higher employee trust and engagement, ensuring higher customer satisfaction and the creation of lasting and sustainable change that sets the clients in the right direction.

The conscious leadership techniques GAIA cultivates as part of the GAIA Executive Coaching program allows clients to maintain balance in every area of their life by regularly checking in with themselves. As a result, they can build sustainable and productive routines, deeply examining biases and limiting beliefs for superior clarity on issues while being intentional about the way time is allocated between constantly shifting priorities.
