If I haven't met you already, hello! I'm Madusha Ranaweera, and my leadership journey has been anything but conventional. In 2014, I stepped into my family's then 20 year old organic and fair trade food export business as an intern. You might think it made things easier stepping into the family business, but there's extra pressure on you to prove your worth, and it takes endurance to build credibility through competence. It takes humility to learn, and maturity and emotional intelligence to navigate the complex office politics and egos. I jumped in at the deep end and learned how to swim, but in 2018, the company underwent a merger and then, we were no longer a family company. I was now working for a corporate- and that's when I decided- I'm going to try out (multiple rounds of interviews and all) to be the Chief Marketing Officer. And I got the job! It came with it's own struggles- massive responsibilities, decisions that could cost millions, and even more complicated office politics. Many struggles, tears, and learning curves later (specially after a couple of years of taking the business through COVID), in 2022, after multiple rounds of really long interviews with our international Board and Shareholders, I was the CEO. And it only got harder, but I had years of growth (and a really wonderful mentor) to help me shoulder this massive responsibility. When I look back over the last decade, it's hard to recognise the young girl who stepped in, but easy to have so much empathy for her, and everyone I see who are making similar transformative journeys of their own.

Why I Created This Course

My path wasn't easy. I faced countless moments of overwhelming stress, self-doubt, crippling anxiety, and multiple "I can't do this" moments. It was hard to keep going, but I did. I know from experience that leaders aren't born, they are made. But when I started mentoring late in my career, I saw what a difference it made to the timeline of those I mentored. Their confidence grew leaps and bounds- they did bigger and better things, and I watched (thrilled!) as their careers advanced so much faster than even they thought possible. By condensing and delivering explicitly everything that I had learned, I shortened their own transformational journeys by several years! So I created what I needed 10 years ago- a program that quickly and effectively gives me the shift in skills, confidence, mindset and ultimately personality- things I learned the hard way, so no one else has to.

My Promise to You

In everything I do, I combine scientific research because I can't help it- I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Neuroscience (Acadia University, Canada) and a Master's degree in Psychology (University of St. Andrews, Scotland). This means all the tips, tricks, techniques and exercises in the program are informed by science. But I've also combined this with lessons I learned about my own energy, about emotional intelligence, and mindfulness. My goal is to empower you with the tools, mindset, and confidence to become the leader you've always known you could be, but in a format that allows you to start building everything you need in just 30 days. I want to give you to feel like you have a mentor through this program, with the support of a whole community (with or without purchasing the course!) of like minded leaders who are stepping into the best version of themselves.

Let's craft your conscious leadership journey, together.
