In this solo episode of Conscious InSights, Renelle Everett Darr builds on Episodes 13 and 14 to reveal where transformation actually occurs, through the Four Quadrants of Change.

Building on Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, Renelle translates this timeless model into a powerful, practical framework for conscious leadership and systemic evolution. She explores how transformation takes root across four essential dimensions—the inner and outer, the individual and the collective, and how leaders can use this lens to catalyze real change in themselves and the systems they lead.

You'll also be guided through a reflective plus/minus exercise to illuminate where you invest or neglect energy in your own growth and within your organization.

"Transformation doesn't happen in one quadrant, it happens in the integration of all four."

This episode maps what next-generation leadership looks like—from inner transformation to systemic impact—through the origins and future of The Leadership Circle (TLC).

What we cover

• The roots & future of TLC: Bob Anderson's 20-year integration that led to the Leadership Circle Profile (2001), and why the work is moving toward Unity-informed Integral leadership.
  
  

• How leaders shift organizations: Using the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) to see reactivity, choose Creative presence, raise the quality of senior-team conversation, and turn insight into activation.
  
  

• Inner development → system change: Presence as the lever, shadow ownership, whole-system sight, dialogos, and intuition—so the pregnant unknown becomes the next right move.
  
  

• Why this matters now: Systems are dismantling and re-forming; leaders bring the weather and you are your primary asset—presence becomes strategy.
