There’s a very clear journey I take my clients on that leads them to increase their capacity for Leadership:
#1 Self first – increase trust, stamina, ability to regulate your own nervous system. A small toolbox of Self-care go-to’s is what’s needed. Presence. Paying attention. Parts work. Nature. Grounding. Compassion, gentleness. Self-love is the goal.
#2 Life second (this includes business/career/work). You deliberately CHOOSE your schedule, your earnings, your vacation time, your work, your clothes, car, house, friends, community, how you spend your time/money/energy. Make it how you want it. Slowing down. Smoothing things out. As my friend Scott Perry says, “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.” Bring in what delights you; eliminate what you’re simply tolerating. You’re practicing self-leadership here. No more performing, acquiescing, or apologizing for what you want, need, desire. You claim YOU. You claim YOURS.
THEN
#3 What’s Possible is THIRD. Here, you have access to SELF energy (calm, balanced, intentional). Because of #1 and #2 above, you INCREASE your capacity for leadership of OTHERS. You can dream LARGE from a place of authenticity/truth, not from grasping or neediness. If you perform at all, it’s for the delight and upliftment of others. The Universe is conspiring in your favor because YOU are conspiring in your favor…for the good of people and planet.
It’s a rich, juicy, delicious journey. 😍
Warmly,
