Soul-Aligned Leadership
are you ready to embrace a new definition of what it means to “Lead”?
I specialize in working with changemakers - people who want to leverage their positional power for human good. If you’re intent on leading from a place of wisdom (and not just from the head, but from the soul), then you’re in good company here.
But first, let’s talk about what’s NOT working.
“Vision + Passion + Purpose”
It’s what makes leadership so rewarding. It’s also a formula that all too often leads us headlong into burnout.
No matter your industry, the pervasive exhaustion is not all in our heads. Need proof? In 2019, the World Health Organization added “Burn-out” to the International Classification of Diseases as an occupational phenomenon. But you probably don’t need any outside experts to validate your lived experience. We know there’s never enough hours. Constantly more mission or product to deliver. Too few resources to make it all happen. The baby is ALWAYS hungry.
Many of us are sprinting just to keep up… year in, and year out. Surviving our careers, rather than thriving. And no wonder, when Hustle and Grind is itself the model that our society holds up as “success.”
The problem is systemic.
But the cure - at least right now - is relegated to the individual.
So we do our best and learn as we go. But where that often leads us is strung out and limping through life. Not showing up as our best selves, either at work or at home. Racing against the clock, with little time or energy left for family, friends, self-reflection, creativity, or joy… let alone “conscious leadership”.
Too few managers across all sectors are professionally trained, coached, or mentored.
Who’s got the time for that?
Exceptional Leaders Do.
My friend, coaching is not just for athletes, celebrities, and self-help junkies.
Every time I hit a vexing plateau, struggled with overwhelm, or made a leap to the next level in my career or personal life, I brought in reinforcements. Having a mentor in my corner that I trusted and respected expanded my thinking, and made the really tough stuff a little easier. Every single time.
After more than 20 years in a progression of leadership roles, it’s became my passion and purpose to figure out what makes organizations - and the humans who power them - tick. The good, bad, and messy of it. Which ones fly, who flails, and why.
A strategist by nature (and training), I’ve learned how to quickly pop the hood and diagnose what’s up. Make sense of the financials. Implement revenue strategies that gets results. Catalyze underperforming teams. Ignite staff, nonprofit boards, and volunteers to greater impact. In other words: bring a semblance of order to what sometimes feels like chaos.
And let’s not forget about YOU - the human being inside the role. I’ve also learned a whole bunch about power, hierarchies, and what these structures can do to our spirit. Playing roles that don’t quite feel right… divorcing heart from head to “get ahead”. It takes a toll. Good news is, there might just be a better way.
