Heart-Centered Conscious Leadership Using Manifestation
BY BARBIE LEYTON
Leadership looks different in the age of the Great Resignation, and it isn’t enough to manage people the way we used to. True leaders now need to dedicate themselves to doing deep inner work as a catalyst for raising consciousness.

As a quantum healer and executive coach for CEOs, professional athletes, and individuals, I see the necessity of coming from a heart-centered approach. As the famous psychologist Carl Rogers shared, unconditional positive regard helps people fall in love with themselves where they are and start from there to reanimate their dreams.
Ancient and modern methods are both valid. We can use ancient wisdom and our modern-day, ever-expanding technological capabilities at the same time to achieve our objectives. I am happy to share how I have implemented these into my life to help others.
The New Era of Conscious Leadership
Kings, presidents, and leaders throughout history have counted on mystics, sages, and oracles when making important decisions. Even in Napoleon Hill’s classic book, “Think and Grow Rich”, he discusses major corporations in the 1900s that had healers on staff that enabled them to have a secret edge, which can be very lucrative. Today, corporations have intuitive readers that help them solve complex problems, while quantum physics is scientifically proven to allow that field to be in play.
The new model of conscious leadership calls for a servant leader who focuses on the positive, providing encouragement and support to the team. Such behavior creates a higher dynamic in organizations where members can trust their leaders and work towards the best possible outcome, which benefits everyone.
From that conscious space, the fight or flight mode of fear that the amygdala experiences is mitigated, and the positive effects of oxytocin and dopamine kick in. Within that container, co-collaborative communities are created where employees can relax and move into the depths of their creativity, creating a winwin for employers and employees. Google regularly expects half of its projects to fail so that it can call forward unbridled creativity from its members without the suppression of excellence.
The second part of stepping into full conscious leadership is about the generosity of spirit and making agreements that work for everyone. Many people see the selfishness of resources and connections as the way to do business. However, staying in the spirit of reciprocity that comes from sheer joy to connect creates deeper relationships and trust within organizations and aligns with an abundance mindset.
The competitive nature still exists, but it can be channeled positively so that people become co-creators and co-collaborators rather than adversaries. Co-elevation in leadership roles allows growth and encouragement to flourish. Whatever can be done in leadership roles to eliminate fight or flight stress modes is optimal and creates dynamic teams that can accomplish amazing things.
When Toyota did a Random Acts of Kindness campaign, they initially allocated $250,000 in funds, but it was so popular that they increased it to $750,000! That’s the synergy that can occur when people feel good within their organization.
How to Manifest Your Goals into Reality
I’d like to share some personal manifestations that I hope are inspiring. I always tell this to my audiences: I’m here to show you that if I can do it, so can you. During the pandemic, I really hunkered down and didn’t watch TV for over a year. I went to MindValley Live in February 2020 in Los Angeles and met Vishen, the CEO, in person, and then the whole world shut down thirteen days later. That was a pivotal moment for many, whether they were going to go deep into virtual communities or shut down.
I worked three screens a day, learning, growing, and connecting with others as I had this hunger to harness my imagination. Since everyone was figuring it out, I was very fortunate to find all these different groups of famous, world-class people who ended up on Zoom, which I call the great equalizer. I felt like I was getting an MBA from Harvard and started manifesting what I would call the miracle of the day! All of it begins with clearing your limiting beliefs and shifting into an abundance mindset, as this is an infinite universe.
I call this the great YES to the Universe. When things or people come into your life, don’t say no. Instead, get into it, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and you will be handsomely rewarded. This is where intentionally choosing your frequency comes in. Every hour on the hour, you can tune in to your vibration. When you can raise the consciousness of yourself, and those around you, everywhere you go becomes sacred work.
There is a tension that kicks in when the true expression of your desire is in play, which connects you to manifestation. This leads us to another component of conscious leadership: the ability to share from your heart. So many people, who were used to being up on different stages all over the world, still wanted to share their gifts and connect since all we had was virtual back in 2020.
From there, all of these opportunities started opening up and presenting themselves to me, which made me feel really blessed that I was able to manifest. Even though that was a very tragic time on our planet, many were able to capitalize on making this a positive life experience as well as a way to serve others and create a genuine connection.
Self-discipline and the willingness to show up for whatever you manifest is a very important skill, and steadfastly showing up wherever you’re invited to be is for your own good. Saying no when people or opportunities show up is the biggest blocker of your abundance. I didn’t stop any of the flow. When things didn’t manifest as expected, I reshifted into asking different questions.
Staying in your big, hairy audacious dream keeps you juiced up for unexpected miracles. For example, in June 2022, I became a number one international bestselling author in the “Women Gone Wild” franchise, and we were on four massive New York Times Square billboards for a month!
Previously, that would have sounded crazy, but when it becomes a reality, you have to embrace it. These manifestations have been epic and beyond my wildest dreams, but staying open to the extraordinary and magical experiences and not shutting yourself down opens up so many new spaces. The best part is the opportunity to share this with others as a role model.
In addition, I manifested my own global TV show, multiple magazine articles, speaking engagements, plussize modeling, and appearances in documentaries that appeared out of thin air because I didn’t limit the energy surrounding me and kept my integrity.
When you resonate at a high frequency, such as 528 HZ, which is also known as the love frequency, positive energy and manifestations occur regularly. I love hearing from my quantum coaching clients when they pop into the miracle manifestation energy frequency, and it becomes normalized.
It’s very exciting that we are moving into new conscious leadership. As more people at the top of global organizations choose differently, the more we can, as Gandhi eloquently stated, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
