   🌱🌈CONSCIOUS LEADERSHIP in the AGE of AI🌈🌱 with Peter Matthies & Carlos Sarmiento (H40)

   A Master’s Programme for Leading Through Change AI can give leaders more answers than ever. But without clarity, purpose and awareness, more answers can simply create more noise. In this conversation, Greg Suart is joined by Peter Matthies, founder of the Conscious Business Institute, and Carlos Sarmiento, Culture, Diversity & Inclusion Director at SLB. Together, they explore why meaningful transformation begins within: through self-awareness, presence, purpose and the ability to reflect rather than simply react. Carlos shares how these principles can be applied within the realities of a complex global organisation, while Peter introduces four levels of working with AI—moving beyond efficiency towards purpose, human flourishing and wisdom. Their central message is clear: AI should serve consciously chosen human purposes, not quietly determine those purposes for us. ================================================ 🌱🌈CBI Masters Conscious Business programme🌱🌈 I strongly recommend exploring the Conscious Business Master Program. It offers far more than another set of leadership tools: it is an opportunity to deepen self-awareness, clarify purpose and translate personal development into greater trust, stronger relationships and lasting organisational change. For leaders seeking to navigate the age of AI with humanity, wisdom and conscious intent, it offers a timely and important pathway.

Without awareness, it can amplify overwhelm, disconnection and short-term thinking. - Used with purpose and discernment, AI can become a mirror, partner and amplifier of human potential. - The capacity to bring together different perspectives and build collective intelligence will be increasingly important.

   Purpose Governance: Architecture for a Wellbeing Economy | Dr Victoria Hurth (H39)

   Dr Victoria Hurth is one of the clearest and most determined advocates I have encountered for change that is not cosmetic, incremental or confined to business – but fundamental, systemic and grounded in how we govern ourselves, our organisations and our economies. In this powerful conversation, Victoria argues that many of the crises we face are not failures of intention so much as failures of the decision-making systems we have built. If financial self-interest remains the organising logic, sustainability efforts risk becoming little more than sticking plasters. Her alternative is Purpose Governance: aligning decisions at every level with long-term wellbeing for all. We explore the central thesis of her book Beyond Profit (which she co-authored with Ben Renshaw and Lorenzo Fioramonti) - the shift from Logic 1 to Logic 3, the relationship between macro, meso and micro change, the role of ISO 37000 and the emerging ISO 37011, and why worldview, philosophy and even Stoicism matter to leadership. This is a conversation about changing the architecture beneath the system – not simply improving the outcomes it currently produces.

   Anthropy - A Living Laboratory for Collective Intelligence (H38)

   Anthropy - A Living Laboratory for Collective Intelligence What happens when more than 2,000 leaders from business, government, education, academia, the arts, charities and civil society leave their titles - and their sector silos - at the door? Lucy Knill is CEO of Anthropy, the UK’s largest gathering of future makers. After 25 years in events and communications, Covid brought home to her the irreplaceable power of human connection—and strengthened her resolve to put that experience to more purposeful use. An introduction to Anthropy founder John O’Brien, and a childhood connection with Eden Project co-founder Sir Tim Smit, brought her journey full circle. In this conversation, Lucy describes Anthropy as a place where diverse perspectives meet, challenge one another and create possibilities that no single discipline could reach alone: a living laboratory for collective intelligence. We explore whether inspiring conversations can translate into meaningful change; why leadership is shifting from control and ego towards stewardship, responsibility and kindness; and why business leaders have an exceptional opportunity to help rebuild trust. Lucy also explains Anthropy’s four lenses - People, Place, Prosperity and Global Perspective - and its framework for moving from individual agency to collective impact.
