Personal Details

Bio

I support purpose-driven influencers overwhelmed by rapid change. We provide breakthrough results so they can lead more successfully across silos for positive global impact.

What does it take to make lasting changes which authentically transform lives and businesses in powerfully positive ways? It’s a question that has engaged Lori Darley for years, as she supports leaders in shifting limiting mindsets and unlocking the capacity inside them so they can master those areas which have the greatest impact. As founder and CEO of Conscious Leaders, a coaching and leadership development company, Lori has worked with leaders across industries and has presented seminars and events for executives and entrepreneurs of all ages.

Lori is also the author of Dancing Naked: Claiming Your Power as a Conscious Leader. For the last thirty years, she has worked with thousands of company executives and entrepreneurs on making authentic transitions, both through her coaching practice and her innovative Clearing Process.

Lori is seasoned in the needs of a full range of decision makers, and works extensively with C-suite executives in many industries. She coaches organizations from multi-national corporations, such as Ferro Chemical and a Fortune 500 "Class One" rail transportation company, to entrepreneurial ventures and individuals in non-profits, manufacturing, financial services, management consulting, commercial real estate and the arts. She also serves as Senior Consultant with Blue Case Strategic Partners.

Lori has presented at numerous conferences including Conscious Capitalism’s national conference in both Chicago and Philadelphia, the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (a U.S. State Department program invitational of over 250 Latin American entrepreneurs) and the Social Venture Network. She has also spoken at the SVN Europe conference, been a panelist the local Dallas chapter of Conscious Capitalism and presented at Renaissance Weekend.

Lori is a certified somatic coach, recognized by the Strozzi Institute, and a certified Peak Potentials trainer. Additional certifications include Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership, Gallup Strengths-Finder, EQi-2 (an Emotional Intelligence assessment and 360 feedback model) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

Lori is intimately in tune with how people embody their concerns and commitments and how that connection impacts their ability to influence others. She invites audiences to uncover how their experience of their bodies shapes their perception. In a loving and engaging way, she guides them to make the connection between what they experience in their bodies and how they experience the most important moments of their life.

If you’ve never considered how your body is a metaphor for conscious awareness or have been wondering how to capture the life you were meant to live, Lori’s Embodiment: Where Authenticity and Impact Meet presentation is the experience for you.

Get Unstuck! Free Yourself from Workplace Drama and Empower your Teams

"Get Unstuck..." is part facilitation, part interactive experience, and part improv. Through tears of laughter, we take a look at why life mostly sucks when mistrust and petty differences squeeze the goodness out of people. Then we create another way to relate to one another that literally frees people up, connects them to their power and dramatically changes everything and everyone around you.

Learning Objectives:
• Learn the universal truth about why drama exists and how to create an alternative mindset based in Integrity, Contribution and Personal Responsibility
• Identify the drama triggers in your life/team
• Experience how drama impacts both the building and destroying trust
• Experience how the power of your intention can change everything
• Practice real world conversations that open up possibilities, rather than shut them down
• Arrive on Monday morning equipped to have at least 3 conversations to make the Drama-free life and workplace a reality.

Creating a Dynamic Environment: Reframing Feedback to Inspire a Conscious Culture

Feedback is frequently a terrifying word to most people. But creating a culture that values feedback and creates a continuously learning and growing community ties directly to the bottom line. The purpose of this experiential practicum is to create a 360° shift in the framing of feedback to help participants move from resisting feedback to welcoming and embracing it, even craving it.

• Understand the power of a leader’s intention, behavior and impact towards creating a feedback culture.
• Understand that everyone, at every level of the organization, whether they manage others or not, is a leader. Therefore, the expectation and value of delivering feedback in all directions is understood by everyone in the organization.
• Practice emotionally intelligent skills required to engage and leverage the value of effective feedback.
• Create a cultural shift through the application of the Contribution Mindset—choosing to give and receive as a contribution to the relation

CONSCIOUS PLAY: Access to Creativity, Innovation AND Breakthrough Results

Join me in breaking down the rigid barriers between what you think of as “serious work time” and “play.” My practicum involves improv, role play, and experiential activities to get you reconnected to your imagination and possibility.

• Identify mindsets and personality preferences that help and hinder creativity and innovation
• Learn how our resistance to change can be overcome
• Reduce aversion to risk and failure on behalf of discovering greater possibilities and more sustainable solutions
• Experience the distinction between problem solving mode (altering the existing conditions from past-based data) and the discovery mode (creating a future from a field of possibilities)
• Experience and practice 3 reliable techniques for “thinking beyond normal”:
o Perspective shifting
o Over-exaggeration
o Rapid Fail
• Experience how laughter not only heals but also assists in releasing our attachment to short term success
