Hi, my name is David Wetton and welcome to the Conscious Leadership Now Video Podcast

The intent of this Podcast is to encourage you as a leader to embrace Conscious Leadership, by giving you access to some of the world’s leaders in the field of Conscious Leadership, both in practice and in thought.
