"Aang Lakey (they/them) is a passionate advocate for equity in leadership, dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations to create inclusive environments. As the Founder and CEO of Increasing Consciousness, Aang focuses on fostering consciousness and reflexivity in leadership practices to address systemic inequities. Aang’s journey into this work was shaped by a deep personal history, having grown up in severe poverty with parents who struggled with substance abuse and homelessness. A pivotal experience at age 12, during a conflict over racism between their aunt and father, sparked Aang’s awareness of societal inequities and began their lifelong path of questioning deeply ingrained beliefs. Aang’s academic background includes a Master of Social Work (MSW), where they delved deeply into the complexities of bias, violence prevention, and social justice, particularly in military contexts. This foundation, combined with their own life experiences, provided Aang with a unique understanding of leadership’s intersection with social equity, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness. Their personal mission evolved into promoting equity and fostering inclusive environments by recognizing the distinct needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds."

Exciting news! 🎉 I recently had the opportunity to share my thoughts and journey in an interview with Brainz Magazine. In this piece, I delve into the importance of reflexivity, intentionality, and equity in leadership, and how integrating consciousness can help redefine what it means to lead with authenticity and purpose. Check out the interview to learn more about my work and mission to promote inclusive, conscious leadership practices that create real, sustainable change. #leadership #equity #consciousleadership #reflexivity #DEI #BrainzMagazine

Darren Walker, Ford Foundation president: “There has never been a more difficult time to lead anything — whether a publicly traded corporation or a nonprofit nongovernmental organization; whether a global university or a local, public school or classroom. Indeed, many of the best would-be leaders are asking, why would I even want to be a leader? Courageous, moral leadership demands more (of leaders). Because it challenges us to recognize that bringing light is often worth enduring the heat, especially in moments of profound challenge for our democracy, our communities and our world. We penalize bold leadership when we should be rewarding it. Inequalities of all kinds have eroded the very foundation of our American community — because inequality has created the conditions in which the American people are both desperate for leadership and programmed for corrosive cynicism about seemingly anyone who offers it.” #leadership #strategy #innovation #culture #community #growth #society #democracy #equality #inequality #risk #change

Every day injustices happen in businesses, workplaces, and beyond. It’s our duty to not only stand up for ourselves but also for others who can’t. We must speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves and stand for what’s right, even when no one else is. Watch this video🎥. Let’s be the change we want to see. #PowerOfVoice #SpeakUp #Justice #Empowerment #Leadership

We Are All in the Same Storm, But Not in the Same Boat. In aviation and travel, the challenges we face may be shared, but the resources, support systems, and experiences vary greatly. Whether you're managing long-haul operations, handling a heavy baggage influx, or ensuring customer satisfaction amidst disruptions, one thing is clear: resilience is our greatest asset. At the core of operational success lies teamwork and innovation. Every airport, airline, and ground handling crew plays a role in weathering the storm. But how we prepare, adapt, and respond makes all the difference. Lets continue to focus on: 1.Crisis preparedness, ensuring we are ready for every operational hurdle. 2.Service excellence, even in times of strain. 3.Collaboration, because no one succeeds alone. The storm may be rough, but with the right strategies, we will all navigate to smoother skies. #aviation #teamwork #resilience #leadership #customerexperience #crisismanagement #airportoperations Bangalore International Airport Ltd GMR Group Adani Airport Holdings Ltd Air Astana Indigo- Interglobe Aviation Ltd Air India Limited Brain Expansion Group

#TheMentorSeries #16 You may have heard of this before. We are not in the same boat, but we are all in the SAME STORM! Is that describing your business situation right now? "Hurricane Helene" hit Florida, US recently first before Hurricane "Monster" Milton hit Florida again that have caused humongous physical damage to one of the richest state in US. Yes... the wrath happened to US and not our countries but the weather patterns communicate with each other. Different storms hit different parts of the world. How's the recent economic pattern which may have hit your business? Problem #1 Different businesses may have different challenges (different boats) but the same business problems (same storm) hit every business. Examples: ineffective marketing & sales, low customer retention, difficult closing, debt collections etc. Problem #2 The nature of any business. One business doing well does not necessarily mean that one will do well if that person/entity take over. Again, different management styles, different outcomes. But one thing remains.... as long as there are people involved, the same challenges apply to every business. As I am writing this, there is a thunder storm outside my window. The storm has triggered my morning thoughts! Problem #3 If you consider every country is like a big business entity, then you will understand that what happens to every country's economics may be different and yet they are all subject to the same threat of economic turbulence nonetheless. US being one of the largest economic power, is not exempted from the hard attack of a looming recession. Japan being a surplus country, has experienced one of the longest decades of recession and lowest currency exchange in recent times. So how do we get out of this or at least, find a way to cope with this?
