Is your leadership brilliance a bit of an unknown even to yourself?The ability to create our greatest successes begins when we shine the light within. ILLUMINATE: Unleash Your Inner Leadership Brilliance is a 4-month program holding space for high achievers who want more. • Those who want to be part of a community committed to support and deep trust• Those who are willing to lean fully into what is possible • Those who want to unleash their true inner leadership brilliance What is possible for me, for you, for all human beings can only be unleashed when we stop hiding those parts of ourselves that we hold secret from the rest of the world. If your doubts are holding you back and hiding who you really are is your way of showing up in this world, then ILLUMINATE is your opportunity to step out and shine brightly!

The question is not, do we impact those we work live and play with. The question is….”are we leading and living in a manner that is positively or negatively impacting others?” Effective leaders hold themselves accountable for their results, their impact on others, and cleaning up when they mess up. Effective leaders have a life-long desire to learn and grow. The day we think we have it all figured out is the day we stop growing. Growth and success require us to own our lives – the good, the bad and the ugly – to understand that our lives are a compilation of all that we have lived and experienced to this moment in time. Wherever we are at this moment, is related to a life of choices, actions, and beliefs. When we have the will to look within, we will see what is holding us back. It is through one’s journey of self-discovery that personal transformation is possible. This work requires support from many. Support may include working with coaches, counsellors, mentors, spiritual advisors, etc. Transformation is the journey of becoming your best self. Between where you are today, and where you want to be is a GAP. The GAP is where we feel discomfort. Why? Because it is outside of what we know, and what we know is comfortable, predictable, and safe. As we move through the GAP (the unknown) we take on new ways of leading and new ways of being. During this phase of change we will mess up, stumble, and fall as we try on new ways of leading. This phase is one of unpredictability and thus discomfort. Staying the course, despite the discomfort is where growth happens; it is also when many will withdraw and return to leading from, and living in, their comfort zone. To retreat is to shrink and to stay where you are, where life is safe and predictable. Transformation is on the other side of safe and comfortable. If you are looking to move through your GAP, let’s connect.

Boss Whispering: Managing Abrasive Behaviours in the Workplace More often than not, abrasive behaviours go unaddressed. The impact of not dealing with abrasive/ bullying behaviours is costly for the organization including loss of talent, inability to recruit top talent, reduced employee productivity, and increased absenteeism and health costs. Those choosing not to address such behaviours in the workplace lose trust and respect from others within the organization since no action is perceived as condoning bad behaviour in the workplace.Using the Boss Whispering™ Method there is a solution. Boss Whisperers are specially trained to assess and work with the abrasive employee to bring to the forefront how they are hurting themselves and those in their path. If you want to learn more about how to influence positive change in abrasive leaders, or provide your organization’s management teams with better skills to deal more successfully with abrasive bosses within your organization contact me directly.
