During these times of accelerated transformation and new possibilities arising, each of us are called to step fully into our role as leaders. We are living in a New Era that is propelling us into our next level of serving, loving, and living individually and collectively. The world is changing, how are you keeping up?
Leading as a parent, citizen, professional, neighbor, visionary, practitioner, volunteer, facilitator, coach………. or wherever you lead………. is demanding an increase in skills and capacities. Old outdated systems that run on domination, bullying, power over and fear are being called into question and crumbling. It is a messy wild ride these days.
Whether you consider yourself a formal or informal leader, it is time to fully live in your power, expressing your full potential of gifts, talents, passion, wisdom, and compassion in the world!
I define a leader as
anyone who is taking responsibility for their impact on the world
and optimizes and sets conditions for transformation
to positively influence movement towards greater states of wholeness where everyone is
invited into realizing their full potential.
A leader embodies an awareness of interconnection, honoring the uniqueness of each individual contribution while simultaneously recognizing the value of the whole interdependent system. A leader lives and works from a place of intention, choice, empowerment, resourcefulness, and ease.
Luckily, there are many tools that support our growth to living at full capacity. I am so blessed to teach in several University of Minnesota programs designed to develop leaders. My one-on-one coaching always involves specific competency-building activities and conversations where I and the client leave our sessions being clearer and more empowered. My work inside organizations with leaders and teams is inspiring!
