Modern Leadership is Like Driving — Constant Scanning is Required

Modern Leadership appeals to people today because it uses a more feminine, community, team approach versus the previous hierarchical leadership style.:Developing as a leader in this complex time is a complicated adventure!  The old style of leadership was generally one-dimensional. Modern leadership style demands a more feminine approach that springs from greater self-awareness and being mindful of how your actions and reactions affect your community. 

Modern Leadership — scan five views while “driving”

Leadership is like driving an actual car. Doesn’t it make you nervous when you’re in the car with a driver who never scans the road? When driving a car, you look ahead through the windshield while keeping an eye on the rear and side-view mirrors. Leaders today need to be scanning in all directions constantly as they lead. If not, they’re missing vital information that could drastically influence their direction.

What is Somatic Therapy aka Body Psychotherapy? It’s Powerful & Transformative!

Somatic Therapy is a mindful awareness of the mind/body connection. The body tells you what you need for emotional healing and personal growth. “What is Somatic therapy?

How would you feel if all the clothing stores sold only one size? You walk in and every item is size 2, or maybe it’s size 20. That would be appalling, wouldn’t it?  You deserve clothes that fit you.

Holistic Coaching — The Skillful Way to Reach Full Potential

Holistic Coaching — The Skillful Way to Reach Full Potential. The human experience is a connection between mind, body, and spirit. When we engage the full dimension of these, success and fulfillment occur. Do you remember hearing the childhood song, “Dem Bones”… “the foot bone connected to the ankle bone, ankle bone connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to the knee bone,” and so on. It taught us that we are connected beings. Yet, somewhere along the way, many people lose sight of the fact that we’re connected in so many more ways than just bone and flesh. Holistic coaching helps us bring our entire self into harmony.
