Leading from Your Heart

Have you ever thought about what leading from your heart would look like? What would that feel like? Would that ever be possible?

Well, let me share my story with you.

My story is neither a simple nor an easy one. Over twenty years ago, I left my home country to create something for myself. I knew starting a new life far from home would be difficult, but I was never afraid of hard work. So I learned a new language. I got my first job as an intern using software I had never used to create a product for places that were unknown to me.

With time I wanted more. I turned my job into a career. I decided to be a leader, the leader I always wanted to learn from. I was told that to become one, I needed supervisory experience or a degree that would open doors to leadership. So I went back to school and graduated with another master's degree. A couple of years later, the opportunity came along, my perseverance paid off, and I became a leader.

It wasn't an easy task. Despite wanting to succeed, I struggled to find myself in a new role. I made mistakes. I took many wrong turns. I guess this was one way to gain knowledge and experience, to test what worked and what didn't. 

I continued to accomplish every single goal I set for myself. I was successful, determined, and driven. I continued to prove that I was a worthy and skilled individual while being kind and loving to others.

My life was full, but it felt empty. I struggled to fully show up as a wife, a partner, and the mother I wanted to be until I realized I wasn't true to my values.

So I decided to go on a quest, a journey to become the best leader I could become. I also found myself on another journey, a journey to self-discovery, to finally find out who I was as a person, to learn what my values were, and how to live and lead from my values. I was ready to heal my broken parts, parts that I was ashamed of, parts that kept me away from showing us fully and unapologetically.

Today I choose to share my story, the tools, frameworks, and models that saved my life and also made my life complete and fulfilled. Today I choose to share my story with those who want to step into the life of their dreams and start the journey to become who they are meant to be. Today and every day, I choose to show up powerfully and honestly, full of love, compassion, and curiosity as a mother, friend, leader, and coach.

Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely!
