Tension in the body releases when you can be your true self. Life’s enjoyment expresses through you, because there is less resistance. As leaders, we set the tone for authentic expression, and have the power to help our groups feel at ease in themselves. This is fullness. This is wholeness.

Leadership presence can be felt in a space. It starts with trusting yourself - trusting that your presence is enough. When you are in full trust that you are truly present, your leadership emerges in the space naturally.

Do people normally understand you on the first try? With relational arts like circling and authentic relating, you clearly express yourself and your listener feels the resonance, even if they don’t agree. By embodying the principles of these relational arts, communication transmits through the energetic, emotional and verbal dimensions, creating connection no matter the content.

Holding space is both for yourself and for others. By understanding yourself better and practicing your emotional expression, you feel more relaxed holding the expressions of others. The more space you have internally, the more space you have to understand the room and its many dynamics. With that understanding, you can respond rather than react.

Your mind is powerful. Your creativity is endless. You expand your visionary capacity by believing in yourself first, opening to context and information, and focusing your energy. Established leaders often feel uncomfortable passing down leadership because they don’t trust their successors have the capacity to hold the entirety of their vision. In some cases this may be true. It’s easy to underestimate the importance of visionary capacity.

Leadership can feel lonely within the group you lead. By growing friendships with other leaders, you find more support and understanding around the nuances of your journey. This group of leaders converges with the intention to build an international community of leaders, so that we continue to support each other on our important missions.
