Soft skills are the new career steroids.

Welcome to leadership development and business problem-solving that actually delivers.

Meet Madusha

Former Global CEO | Founder of CSG

Madusha Ranaweera is the founder and CEO of Conscious Survival Guide, a leadership development and culture consulting platform built on a decade of hard-won corporate experience, and the science of what actually works. She went from intern to Chief Marketing Officer in 4 years, then became the youngest CEO of an almost 1,000-person international company by age 31. She's led multi-million dollar merger negotiations, managed teams across four countries, and won two World Leadership Congress awards (Sri Lanka 2019, Asia 2020) for outstanding women in leadership. But here's what makes her different.  ​She holds a Bachelor's in Psychology and Neuroscience and a Master's in Psychology. This means she didn't just climb the ladder. She studied every step, scientifically. So while most leadership trainers teach theory, Madusha teaches what actually worked when the stakes were real, and you don't have a lot of time for trial and error.  ​In 2014, she started as an intern in her family's organic food export business. By 2018, after the company merged and became a corporation, she secured the role of Chief Marketing Officer. Four years later, she became CEO and Board Director. ​Her transformation accelerated when she found a mentor who fast-tracked her soft skills development, combined with her academic training in psychology, she began to understand exactly why those skills worked and how to replicate them systematically. She's navigated crisis management, cross-cultural communication, office politics, high-stakes negotiations, and the unique pressure of proving yourself in a family business turned corporation. She's worked across Sri Lanka, Canada, the UK, and Germany. ​She created Conscious Survival Guide to condense a decade of experience into programs that help leaders and companies skip years of trial and error. Her approach combines real corporate leadership experience with research-backed psychology and neuroscience, so that every strategy she teaches is both proven in practice and grounded in science. This isn't motivational speaking. It's not generic corporate training. It's the exact process that transformed a self-doubting intern into an award-winning CEO, and it's designed to do the same for you.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did."
- Mark Twain

“It was so helpful to have more than just theoretical knowledge and feedback from someone with actual practical experience and a great deal of empathy for real-world struggles. Let's just say I don't leave meetings strained anymore and that her energy and her presence were an absolute game-changer for me."

- Sarah, C. Senior Project Manager

I've changed careers at the age of 45 to take on a role in a different part of the world. And having access to the pre-launched version of Madusha’s program has been utterly helpful to me. Because I got guidance from someone who's been there and done that before me. I asked for and received a salary and benefits that I would have not dared to ask for before. I could not have done it without her insights into cross-cultural communication, on how to negotiate, and on how to pitch myself confidently. Couldn't thank her enough.

- Lisa, M.

Business Development Director

Running my own business, I constantly feel like an imposter. I don't really feel like I know what I'm doing most of the time, even though I know that that's not true. Madusha gave me the tools to actually embrace my expertise, structure my business, what to look for when hiring people and taught me how to communicate what I bring to the table with absolute conviction and confidence. I've actually been able to increase my rates by 40% and I couldn't be happier.

- Michelle, R.
