NOW. This moment in time. It’s all we have. Yesterday, I travelled to Toronto to work with a team. Scenario: 360 Feedback completed on Departmental Leader. Forward thinking COO organized the team facilitation. The team wanted to brainstorm and have an external coach team facilitation to discuss the feedback as there were consistencies and patterns…

This quote stopped me in my tracks. I meditate daily to be a mindful leader. Being a mindful leader is our whole day, every day. ✔️We lead in life. ✔️We lead at work. ✔️We lead ourself. When we view ourself in a positive light, we are truly limitless. A quiet mind achieves so much: 🧠Equanimity🧠Structure🧠Focus🧠Clarity…

I’ve been thinking about a model where I could demonstrate that we are all in the people business beyond policies, protocols, metrics, etc. When I was a neurotrauma case manager, I always enjoyed medical debriefs from the beginning when my clients were inpatients until discharge, and my community-based team would provide regular updates. The SOAP…

This Heart-Centered Leadership Rx comes up weekly in conversations for me with clients and organizations. There is no room or time for catastrophic thinking.

I am receiving lots of excitement for the new playbook in town… Heart-Centered leadership is not new. People have brought it beautifully to the surface in the leadership space. ☑️People leading people ☑️People helping people 🚫No judgment 🚫No labels 🚫No reciprocity We have certainly had time to stop, think, ponder, review, ruminate, reconsider, resign, rest,…

In a virtual team-building exercise yesterday, I heard the best line from a divisional manager. The call was quiet, and she said, “Labels are for soup cans!” Everyone burst into laughter, and it anchored an amazing conversation that provided a beautiful foundation for my facilitation of heart-centered leadership. It reminded me of the quote below…

Last week I announced the release of my upcoming book, The Heart-Centered Leadership Playbook. It will be published in September 2023. I was nervous and excited —nervited! I could hear my Irish Nana in my ear. “You are nervous and excited because it’s mean so much to you and you care. Don’t every lose this!”…

There is so many different perspectives on leadership. In terms of heart-centered leadership, I honour my connect with everyone. When I see a leader struggling, I know that there is inner work to be considered: 📌Our life and leadership journey directly contributes to how we treat people and how we choose to lead people. 📌Self-acceptance…

Today is an exciting day as it truly allows me to embrace who I am and also to be a heart-centered leader. I was asked to return to teaching chair yoga one Friday morning per month by a non-profit organization. The attendees have different medical diagnoses and they wanted someone with a medical/rehabilitation background who…

I normally don’t post about upcoming shows on imperfect: The Heart-Centered Leadership podcast. I can’t keep this upcoming episode a secret! I wanted to reach out to Steve Cadigan, the heart-centered leader (with humour) who took LinkedIn from 400 to 4000 employees in 3.5 years and from 2 countries to 16. Remarkable. I was so nervous…
