Do you feel like a leader?
In my work,
I talk about leadership a lot.
I'm very aware that many recoil from the word.
There are so many associations that have built up through history about what a leader is,
What they're like,
And how people react to them.
These are things that conscious and intuitive people aren't comfortable having in their sphere.
They are also things that people who are trying to find their power feel overwhelmed by.
That's not me is a common response to the question,
Do you feel like a leader?
I think it's high time we looked at leadership in a different way.
I think it is high time we looked at leadership in a different way.
In nature there are many different types of leadership through which our individual style is reflected back to us.
In nature,
Leadership is focused on the well-being of the group,
Not the well-being of the leader.
This distinction is key for those who want to be transformative leaders.
Consensus,
Relationships,
Vision,
Energy,
Trust,
And focus are the bedrock of conscious leadership and they bring a very different dynamic into play,
One that everyone can get on board with.
This kind of leadership begins within.
It's rooted in self-awareness and expands to awareness of the collective.
There are three realms of leadership we can work through to develop our ability to lead our businesses forward and evolve our presence as an entrepreneur.
The first realm is self-leadership.
This realm is well-known to everyone who is working on their self-development.
Taking responsibility for your behaviors,
Feelings,
And responses nurtures your inner leader.
The second realm is leadership of your actions and the choices you make.
This is where you become the creator of your life.
You shape and mold your reality through the actions you take.
The third realm is leadership of others,
Where you become their guide and role model.
There are many areas of life where we take on this form of leadership,
Within our intimate relationships,
Families,
Workplaces,
And communities.
In these spaces,
Our creative voice and conscious self-expression touches others.
This touch shapes the future,
Because our actions speak through a deep-seated vision that wells up through the first realm of leadership.
It is a fire of leadership that comes from within.
It's a choice to see and believe in what's possible.
This is the fire that made you decide to start your own business.
This fire is sacred and essential to a purpose-centered life,
And the inner leader is balanced between creation and expression.
Intention defines how we act to create,
And expression flows from how we do things.
The fire of expression and the fire of creation are mutually dependent for existence.
They cannot exist without each other.
The vision of the future comes from the form of its creation.
The spark of the soul ignites the fire of creation.
The soul is the nourishment of creative energy.
It brings love of creation and respects what is created out of love.
It is the breath of life.
We have many leaders who have not mastered the leader within.
They may even have consciously silenced this aspect to establish control,
Direct,
Or determine the choices and freedom of others.
We are surrounded by such self-proclaimed leaders who take our agency and choice,
Or at least the notion of it,
To be their own.
Leadership from within is a cellular-level decision to be responsible for your own life and presence in the world,
And it restores your power to create for yourself and others.
It reshapes what culture perceives as leadership and restores this to every single person.
And the choice to lead from within is 100% yours,
Always.
It's not an easy path.
It is strewn with It's not an easy path.
It is strewn with the debris of cultural norms and expectations.
It's obstructed by social hierarchies and expectations of the roles we must fulfill.
There is work to do to be a good leader from within.
In the work is the making.
There's no end,
No badge of honour,
No external verification of any kind.
It's the action that creates the leader.
Internal leadership is the journey itself,
And it begins with the choice to take the first step.
So how can we be guided?
In my work,
I turn to the frequencies that create your unique forms of expression.
Frequencies are superb guides.
Connection with the frequencies that make you,
You,
Tunes your whole body to the choices and actions that are consonant and resonant with your soul leadership.
These frequencies create your song of leadership.
They emerge from the seed of your soul,
And they activate your DNA.
The essence of your being is tuned to the frequency of your leadership,
And it gives your presence focus.
The ripples of energy you share have a rhythm and pattern which is unique in the overall harmonic of life.
And this is where we're going to go.
Into the frequencies of your inner leadership to connect you to your power and show you the vision within the seed of your soul that is ready to be expressed through your life as an entrepreneur and the work you do through your business.
Let's begin with a deep breath.
Feel your body swell with air,
And relax with the exhale.
Take a few more deep breaths,
Instilling calm,
Centeredness,
Inner focus.
Feel your connection to the earth,
Your roots extending deep into its embrace,
Your roots extending deep into its embrace,
And the energy rising to greet you.
You are part of the song of life.
You are held by the earth,
And reaching for the skies,
Sharing your light and energy in the spaces in between.
The energy you share is a tuning fork for the energies that swirl around you and are drawn towards you.
What is this energy that guides others through your internal light,
And what is its purpose?
We can ask the question with the mind or feel the answer through your body.
In your awareness now,
A light or shape or form or movement catches your attention.
This is the frequency of your soul vision.
You can observe,
Move towards it,
Or invite it to you.
It is pure frequency.
It speaks to you through knowing.
You recognize it and understand it intuitively.
It's part of you and the way you move.
It's your calling.
What is it saying to you?
What is it highlighting that you need to know?
What is it saying to you?
What is it highlighting that you need to know here and now?
Open the gates and let the knowing wash over you.
Breathe.
Your vision instills within you a desire that you need to act upon.
This desire is shaped by the essence of your leadership role.
Another light shape form or movement catches your attention now.
The frequency of your leadership essence.
It speaks of how you hold yourself in your vision and share that vision with others.
What is it showing you about who you are?
What is it showing you about who you are?
Breathe.
Your essence of leadership is strengthened by the energy you move through your actions.
Another light shape form or movement catches your attention now.
It is the frequency of your style or pattern of leadership.
It's how you engage with others and the energy this conjures within them.
How it moves you and them towards your vision.
What is it activating within you now?
Breathe.
In this space,
Ask for clarity on how your business can elevate and expand through your unique leadership energies.
Breathe into the answer.
Relax into the knowing.
Feel into the actions of expression.
Feel into the actions of expression that are needed now.
Leadership becomes who you are when you act upon the energies.
Catch the threads of detail and pull them to you,
Finding the form,
The words,
The sensations of actions that come next.
Anchor them into your energy.
Anchor them into your energy and knowing.
Breathe.
Settle.
Radiate your inner focus through your whole being.
Take one more deep breath.
And open your eyes.
