S4 Episode 22 - Conscious Leadership with Ann-Mari Freebairn, PCC, ORSC

Join us for a captivating journey of self-discovery and transformation as we sit down with the Co-Founder of Scenius Consulting, Ann-Mari Freebairn, a seasoned practitioner and guide in the realms of personal growth, mindfulness, and conscious leadership. Thirty years ago Ann-Mari faced a traumatic incident that led her to the brink of burnout and chronic fatigue. Seeking solace and healing, she embarked on a life-altering adventure to a remote forest monastery in Thailand, where she immersed herself in the practice of mindfulness meditation. Over the course of a year, her life underwent a remarkable metamorphosis – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Though her formal Buddhist practice has evolved, the principles of mindfulness have remained a steadfast anchor, shaping her journey forward. Having spent years studying under various Asian teachers, Ann-Mari eventually found herself navigating a career in PR and marketing within the charity sector. As her professional journey continued, she recognized the limitations of traditional top-down leadership and became an advocate for a more collaborative, decentralized approach – a concept eloquently termed "Scenius" by Brian Eno, describing the collective genius that emerges from group collaboration. Six years ago, Ann-Mari made a pivotal decision to forge her own path, transitioning from her role as a Marketing and Communications Director to becoming a dedicated coach and consultant. Fueled by her passion for leadership and team dynamics, she co-founded Scenius Consulting and Coaching, an initiative designed to empower leaders and teams by harnessing the collective brilliance within organizations. With a focus on embracing diversity, igniting creativity, and nurturing holistic growth, Ann-Mari and her team champion the idea that true innovation thrives in inclusive and collaborative environments. If you're seeking to unlock your latent potential, embrace a more conscious approach to leadership, and tap into the power of collective genius, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we unravel Ann-Mari's incredible journey of healing, growth, and purpose-driven transformation.
