On 30th September I am running a workshop from 10am-1pm: It's about owning who you are and stepping into the world with confidence, purpose, and a clear vision of the impact you want to create. 🌺Define Your Unique Leadership Style: Break free from conventional leadership moulds and embrace your own approach to leading with authenticity. 🌺Identify the Impact You Want to Create: Gain clarity on the change you wish to bring into your professional and personal spheres, and develop a strategic plan to make it happen. 🌺Connect with the Feminine Way of Leading: Understand the strengths of feminine leadership, such as empathy, collaboration, and intuitive decision-making, and learn how to harness them for greater influence. 🌺Move Past Imposter Syndrome: Develop the mindset and tools to overcome self-doubt and take ownership of your accomplishments, talents, and expertise. 🌺Own Who You Are and Your Voice: Step into your full power by learning how to express yourself with confidence, communicate your vision, and inspire those around you. If you are booking 2 tickets the 2nd is half price. https://lnkd.in/gPsWNMz9? Please share in your network with a woman you know who would gain value from this work, it is a transformative experience to build confidence in yourself and your voice.

As fall rolls in, I can’t help but think about how much leadership mirrors this season. Just like trees shed their leaves, we sometimes need to let go—whether it’s old strategies, past challenges, or habits we’ve outgrown. It’s part of making space for new growth. But fall is also about healing. It’s a time to pause, reflect, and recharge. In leadership, this is so important. We all face tough moments, but those are the times that help us become stronger. Letting ourselves heal makes us better leaders, ready to take on what’s next with renewed energy. So here’s to embracing the change, finding strength in the journey, and always growing—just like the seasons.

I'm about to share the most challenging part of leadership. Here's what I know about graceful goodbyes: 1. Face-to-Face Courage - In-person shows respect - Human connection matters - Make the moment count 2. Swift and Decisive Action - Act quickly once decided - Reduces anxiety for all - Helps everyone move forward 3. Empathy in Action - Be mindful and listen - Understand emotional impact - Create space for concerns 4. Radical Transparency - Be honest about reasons - Builds trust even in tough times - Helps with closure and integrity Remember, how you handle departures speaks volumes about your leadership style and company values. Let's talk.

The right career, combined with strong leadership and supportive guidance, fosters mental peace by aligning you with a purpose-driven environment. When you have leaders who understand your strengths, they help you unlock your potential and show you how to grow both personally and professionally. This creates consistency in your work, allowing you to build momentum, and contributes to long-term success, as you’re not only advancing in your career but also developing into a more fulfilled individual. The right leadership cultivates growth and ensures your path is one of continuous development. 🏆💪🫡

In the journey of leadership and personal growth, the environments we immerse ourselves in matter. "Consciously choosing what and who you surround yourself with is among the keys to finding more space for joy."* This statement holds profound wisdom, especially in the context of organizational culture...and life. As leaders, our responsibility extends beyond strategy and decision-making; it involves curating a culture that breathes growth, collaboration, joy, trust, well-being. The people we choose to bring into our teams, the values we prioritize, and the atmosphere we cultivate—all contribute to the success and collective joy of our organizations, families, communities. This weekend, take a moment to assess the environment you're creating both inside and outside of work. Remember, the cultures we create are the sum of our daily actions and decisions. Wishing you a joyful weekend. #LearnLeadChange #ExecutiveCoaching #Leadership *Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist Monk

I ran a Conscious Leadership offsite for a company last week in NYC and we spent the first half of the day noticing. ☀️Conscious Leaders are world class noticers of their mind, bodily sensations and emotions and of those around them. ❤️Conscious Leaders embrace attunement both in words, behavior and body language. They notice the sensations, emotions arising and simply report on what is here now. ✨ Conscious Leaders become world class at noticing their reactivity when in threat and fear and embrace curiosity about how these patterns came about. 💯A significant part of my Conscious Leadership is noticing and welcoming all that arises so that we can know ourselves better and be more equipped to hold space for all that arises in others. We can only meet people to the degree that we can meet ourselves. If you want an efficient, productive and innovative team, don’t skip steps. Noticing with attunment begins the most interesting conversation we can have AND it lays the foundation for skill building and pattern building. 🙏🏼 And, I just have to say bring able to weave quotes and influence from Mary Oliver into my work is just the best. Fully in my zone of genius and feeling supported by all the great minds that have paved the way for a more conscious world. #noticing #consciousleadership

I've fired 20+ people. Here's what I learned. I used to dread the conversation. Now, I see it as a growth opportunity for both parties. So I aim to: - Be direct and compassionate.  - Provide constructive feedback.  - Offer support for their next steps. Handled right, firing can be a positive turning point. And lead to a better fit for all. How do you handle difficult conversations? (P.S. What's the hardest leadership decision you've made?) ♻️ Repost to help fellow leaders embrace this tough conversation

It’s time to move beyond limiting ourselves and our potential to make others comfortable. As I embark on a new chapter, I've come to understand that our true value doesn't stem from external validation or fitting neatly into predefined roles. It is cultivated from within, a testament to our inner strength and conviction. Through my own journey, I've learned the importance of embracing every facet of who I am, recognizing that downplaying our abilities serves no one. This realization has been liberating, allowing me to fully step into my power and lead with authenticity. I am now extending an invitation for you to join me claiming one of only 3 remaining spaces in a transformative leadership container. This is a space dedicated to those ready to explore their own depths, to celebrate their achievements openly, and to step boldly into their power. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, unlocking the potential that resides within each of us. If you're prepared to transform your life and lead with purpose, I encourage you to connect. Let's rise in our collective worth and illuminate the world with our presence. #Leadership #Transformation #Empowerment #selfworth
