The ‘jump higher, go faster, do more’ model of leadership is broken – and we all know it.
To thrive in a landscape that’s transforming culturally, digitally, economically, and politically, we must lead in a new way. That begins with cultivating conscious awareness of what it means to be in our full power: a grounded state, free from reactivity, ego or overwhelm. A state where we can access our true intelligence; one rooted not in stress, but in deep calm, clarity and presence. This is the foundation of sustainable and human leadership.
Elke knows that the first job of leadership is to lead your life. She doesn’t just help people do better in business. She helps them take ownership of their lives and consciously, intentionally, shape the environments around them. Human leadership is not soft. It’s transformational. It challenges the outdated concepts of leadership that have helped drive our current crises and replaces them with something profoundly different: self-aware, wisdom-led leadership that builds extraordinary teams, cultures, and lives.
“Elke was hands-down one of the best speakers we’ve had. Within minutes, she takes people to a place where they see themselves with new eyes.”
Juliette Denny, Elite, London Stock Exchange
“Elke is engaging, relevant, and down to earth. She addresses modern-day business topics with authenticity and humour. She can connect with people of all backgrounds and levels, so everyone walks away feeling they have learned something. A true expert in leadership and holding the room.”

The Friday Question
A quiet moment at the end of your week.
Each Friday, I send a single question – something to sit with, scribble about, or drop into conversation. Questions that lift you above the noise, tune you into the life you’re living, and the one you want.
No spam, no spin – just one honest prompt to consider – you, your life, your choices.
