Why do I like to work with leaders?

I remember the time when I was stepping into my first leadership role. I was excited and terrified at the same time. It was like walking on thin ice - I carefully took each step for fear of falling into the ice-cold water. The further I went into my role, the more aggressive I became, to the point where I lost my sense of being; I stopped leading from my values and balance. Instead, I led from a place of scarcity, survival, and self-interest, accomplishing my goals “no matter what.” I felt lost, ungrounded, and drifting into darkness. I felt and acted like a victim - unsupported, exhausted, and unseen.

I continued to drift and make poor decisions. Without a clear purpose and strong support system, I couldn’t find my way back to the surface. I wish I could blame the pandemic, but it was really my own doing, and it was time for me to admit it, face it, and own it. More importantly, it was time for me to forgive myself and find a way forward. As difficult as the journey was, it was worth taking. Over time I was able to go deeper and release what was no longer needed, releasing stories created from a place of self-interest and status-seeking instead of places of love, service, and generosity.

You might ask, given a chance, I would change anything about my story. My answer is no. Why? Because this bag of mixed experiences shaped who I am today; it helped me to gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to be a better friend, leader, mentor, and coach. I found my purpose. I continue to follow my dream.

So what is my dream? I dream of using these lessons and knowledge gained from my leadership journey to help others on a similar journey.

If you are one of these leaders who want to become a better leader, join me and other leaders on the journey you’ve been waiting for.

This training was designed to help you discover your unique leadership skills and how to implement them, whether you were setting the vision for your team, having a difficult conversation, overcoming existing challenges, or discovering what held you back from showing up fully and unapologetically YOU! 

Imagine what would be possible in your personal and professional life, the impact on your career growth as well as your health if you were able to lead from the place of courage and self-love, if you were able to establish a deeper connection with who you are and how you show up in the world, how could you impact those who you lead without the anxiety, seriousness while pretending to be someone who you are just to fit the “ideal leadership model.”

If you are ready to align your leadership style to who you truly are, to take down the walls you built over time that kept you safe yet unhappy, to free yourself from unhealthy, unbalanced life and implement a more sustainable, rewarding work-life balance check out my leadership training or group coaching opportunities I’m offering right now.
