Creative and Receptive Leadership – The beautiful dance between Challenge and Support…

Do your entire leadership team and workforce embody, personify and occupy your vision?

 

 Have you ever asked yourself why people would want to participate in realizing your vision and goals? Why would people want to work with you? What makes your vision and goals so attractive and special that others are willing to put all their energy, skills, wisdom, talents, resources and time behind it?  Or is it not about your vision and goals at all? Is your organisation just another place where they can earn a salary and perhaps great medical and retirement benefits?  They have to have a decent job, status and good perks; that is after all what society expects from them.

Do you honestly know why people work for you? Do yourself a favour and ask them 6 important questions. ‘How does it make you feel to be here?     Why are you here?  What is it you want from our organisation?    How does it feel to work with us?  What is it you would like to create with us? What is it you can do to create it with us?’  

Yes, the clever ones might pull up the mask and tell you exactly what they think you wish to hear and the less confident ones might curl up in fear, not knowing what to say to you as they themselves have no clue.  Maybe do it in a non-invasive way. (Your best chance to get the truth from them) At your next staff meeting ask them to write it down on a piece of paper without any names on it. Ask them not to think about it, but to write down the first thing that comes to mind. And tell them there are no right or wrong answers.    And then collect them in a box.   It does not matter what the answers are, it will give you a big clue as to why they are with you.

Then you would know what you are building your house with; straw, wood or bricks. Then you will also know how they will react when a bad wolf starts to blow down on your house.  You already know who is there with a purpose, who is sharing your vision and goal, who is fully engaged and devoted. The suggested exercise is merely to give you an even deeper understanding of why they are with you.  

So you might ask now: “And now what? “  What if you have 80% straw and wood? You surely can’t fire these people now? The good news: It is possible to transform the straw and wood into bricks.   

And to be able to master that, it is important to review and adjust your leadership style. One size does not fit all.

Now you have the opportunity to engage in the magical dance between challenge and support; between creative and receptive leadership; simultaneously leading and allowing flow and pressure.  The one circulates and the other contains.

By employing creative and receptive leadership principles you challenge (expose to, expand perception, stimulate and generate potential) and support (guide, nurture, allow and integrate potential) the individual to realize their potential whilst fully participating in actualizing a shared vision and goal.  The one feeds the other beautifully.

In our “I am an EXPRESSIONIST Experience” we address four very important aspects of any person’s experience of life.  An appreciative, stimulating and inspiring sense of self leads to open, receptive,  abundant, harmonious  and significant relations in the work and market place; which stimulates collaboration,  vibrant cohesion and innovative co-creation; which in turn invigorates  engaged interaction and focussed action to take place.  All these are vital ingredients to fulfilment, success and prosperity.  

The explorative, creative, expressive and integrated process uses a balanced approach of challenge and support to enable people to become proud, confident, energised, fully engaged and devoted participants and partners in the work and market place.

The four aspects explored are:   

Experience of Best Self  

When I am authentic, fully present and at ease with who I am, dynamic tension creates a charge and stimulus to move forward and this energy fuels my connection to others.  (I trust in myself. I am confident.  I can handle this myself. I feel strong and assertive with others. I am awed by my presence. I am relaxed in the flow of this moment. I am courageous, powerful and impressed with what I bring.)

Experience of Others

My sense of self worth, value and importance directly influences the content of my relationships and how I relate to others.    Once I am fully present and available my relationships creates ideas. Now I can participate in dreaming, imagining and co-creating something amazing with those I resonate with. (I trust in others. I deeply enjoy what this relation gives me. I am fully satisfied with all I have. I feel the attraction with all that is good. I am interested, desirous, content,   connected, abundant and clear),   

Experience of What I can Co-create and Generate

 A shared vision and goal can now be co-created, generated and realised because my relationships make me feel open, secure,  accepting, free, expressive, committed and creative. (I trust in what we create together. I feel welcoming to all these things. I am free to be who I am becoming. I feel stable and grounded. I am committed to making this happen and collaborate delightfully. I am personifying what we are creating together.)  

Experience of my Interaction and Right Action

My perception and awareness of these ideas and creations enthuse and inspire me to engage with, play with and utilise them, to interact with others to make it happen and to move forward. (I trust what we are doing together. I am surprised. I am delighted to be in this situation. I feel good about the progress I am making. I am looking forward to whatever comes.  I am sharp,   awaiting, graceful and involved. My intentions are clear. I know what right action to take. I take time to reflect, observe and give it the required attention.)   

 You may now ask: “What is the best way to support and challenge?” A balanced Human Being consists of Body, Emotions, Mind and Spirit.   All these aspects must be equally considered and attended to whilst approached with great sensitivity and awareness. You may find someone’s sense of self is only healthy in terms of his/her body and he/she might have many limiting beliefs and habits.  Or someone’s body feels uncomfortable when in the presence of certain individuals, which directly influences his/her ability to collaborate and work with others.   So the right areas need to be supported and the right areas need to be challenged.

You may say that this is not your job to take care of, that you do not have the time to do it or that you do not have the appropriate skills in your organisation.   SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO NOT DO EVERYTHING THEMSELVES. THEY LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS.

That is why we are here.  Not only to assist you to transform the straw and wood into bricks, however, to assist you to realize your vision and goals with ease, grace and joy; whilst creating an opportune space and atmosphere for your teams to blossom and thrive.  Allow them to become Expressionists.  Allow them to display, express and employ their Best Selves to co-create, generate and actualise your shared visions and goals.  

 We are also available to guide you into using the magical dance of Challenge and Support - Creative and Receptive Leadership.  

You can choose to ignore this opportunity or you can embrace and grab it.

Serious Wake-Up Call – The biggest Trickster on Earth – The Illusion of Competition….

The Past: Lies, deceit and distraction. We all have been tricked and conditioned to spend all our energy and precious resources on creating fancy strategies and methodologies to outsmart the “Competition” , to “Win” business and to “Convince” prospective clients that we are the best.  Belief me, I have been there.  In this fabricated landscape of “Sales” we were conditioned to go into “Beggar and Struggle Consciousness”.  And we didn’t even know we were doing it. The moment you say and try to proof  “Client, we are better than our competition.”  you negate the value of whatever you have to bring to the world. It doesn’t matter what sophisticated method you are using to get that point across, whether you directly or indirectly bring into play. you negate your value. It is the biggest oxymoron  that you an ever get entangled in. And some are masters at this game, whilst others are extremely arrogant about it.  Arrogance is not confidence. There is a huge difference. Arrogance is “fear”, “lack” and “I am not good enough” under cover.

I have Great News for you. Wake up please…. There is no such thing as Competition. It is only a construct of your mind. You have been tricked to belief that for eons. Why?  To distract you from the real truth - so you can divert your attention from the truth and that fact keeps you very busy. And the result is that you scatter and misplace all your energy and resources on things that do not truly exist. It is indeed a very clever tactic. Whoever decided to misinform us like that was hugely successful. Just imagine how much money, time and resources have been spent in the past on this traditional “Goose Chase” called Sales and Marketing – a path strewn with resistance, ignorance and zombies. And there is in essence nothing wrong with Sales and Marketing. It is the energy that drives this car called Sales and Marketing, that have brought us to this deceit and possible demise.   It is the biggest scam of modern day commerce and industry.

What could be possible if you choose a road less travelled? What could be possible if you indeed take the path of least resistance?  BUT instead, you are like a blindfolded horse that travels the same old road day in and day out.  And you never question anything about this road. It is as if you are hypnotized and seduced by this lie.  And unknowingly you are captured in the prison and enchained to this thing called “Competition”.

The Present: The real truth…There is no one else on earth that can bring the same as that which you have to bring. Whether you bring you, a service, a product or a solution -  absolutely no one else can bring the same, absolutely no-one else!  Only you can bring that energy, that value, that permutation and that configuration to the world in the way you do. So how on earth can there be competition for you?

And somewhere, someone needs, is ready for and is waiting for you to show up to bring this specific permutation and configuration to them. You don’t have to convince them of anything. They need what you have to bring. They are ready for it. You do not have to convince them that you are the best and that you are better than the competition. You don’t have to “win” the business or “close” the deal.  The truth is: YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPETITION.  You negate your Authenticity when you go into this space of competition.  You direct all the attention and energy away from you to something externally that does not truly exist.   Just imagine what will be possible when you start to direct all the available resources and energy towards what you bring?

And instead of becoming a magnet to those who needs what you have, you spend all your time, energy and resources to convince people and organisations who are not necessarily ready for it or who do not need what you bring in the way you are bringing it or who do not understand and  cannot see the value of what you bring or who are plain “zombies”. What a waste of precious resources? And only because you have been deceived to think this is the way it should be.

The truth is that TRUE Sales and Marketing is about Promoting the MAGNET and the energy behind it.  It is about becoming, embodying, employing and expressing the MAGNET and the energy behind it.  Yes this applies to you, all of those working with you and all of those representing you. It also does not help you if you become a magnet and the rest of your organisation is not becoming magnets. If they still play the game of competition, there is no synergy and no coherence, so you will struggle and waste precious energy unnecessarily.

You don’t have to “sell’ or “market” anything.  When you need to convince anyone of something, you negate its value. When you need to negotiate or justify fees or price, you negate the value you bring. It is because you are “selling” to the wrong people. It is because you don’t belief in your own MAGNET. Or you don’t not belief in your own worth and value.  It is only in a competitive environment that you have to negotiate price or justify value. You don’t have to “trade” you value. You are “bringing” it. And for that you “receive” an equal exchange.

As a matter of fact, the more you become this MAGNET, (remember a magnet attracts things to it and it does not need to go and search for things) the more those who need what you bring, will find you. And yes, you have to wake up, dress up, show up and you have to tell the world about you and what you have, about what you bring in the way you bring it.  And you have to exude and emit it wherever you go, in whatever you say, in whatever you do.   You have to be congruent. Then you are authentic. And people buy into authentic people and energy. They do not invest in scattered and misaligned energies and messages. Your message to the world becomes scattered and misaligned when you spend time and resources on justifying anything. And that is what you do when you sell the traditional way, when you endeavour to convince the market place and when you strive to win business. You don’t have to win anything. You can only win something you don’t have. And you HAVE what you bring. You are ATTRACTING the business. There is NO COMPETITION - hence you don’t have to win anything.

The other lie is about becoming a leader in your field. Do yourself a favour. Go and look at the visions and missions of most organisations. First it starts with the words:  “TO BE”. Now, you already are. How can you endeavour or strive TO BE? You can do this only when you belief you are not yet. And that is the catch. Again competition based.  Or it starts with “TO BECOME”. Again, you are not yet. So how must any prospective client belief you? You are not it yet. No wonder you battle to convince them. You see, whether they are aware of it consciously or not, you negate that you are the best – the story you tell them. All because your vision is encrypted into the organisation – TO BE or TO BECOME. The one negates the other.  SO you are not authentic when you tell a client you are the best.

Besides, that is utter baloney, garbage, twaddle, hogwash and bunkum.  I hope you hear at least this. BALONEY!!! And it is future based. What are you today? This is what you bring. Now!!  Not something promised or desired in the future.  You are the leader now - The front runner bringing this energy, this message, this permutation and this configuration to the world. It even applies to a bottle of water or a can of deodorant. You are not a leader because you are better than someone else, but because of what you bring. 

Can you see the difference? It is time to wakeup. You have been dreamed for so long. Is it not time to become the dreamer? Is it not time to embody the MAGNET? Is it not time to get rid of all those approaches, methodologies, slogans, visions, belief systems, conditioning, mannerisms, behaviours, thoughts, feelings, actions, words, oxymorons, lies and habits that negate the truth of this MAGNET?

You are here NOW.   You bring something unique to the world, whether you are an individual, an entrepreneur, an organisation, a multinational, a global entity,  etc.   And someone is waiting for it. All you need to do is to BE the MAGNET, to be AUTHENTIC, to SHOW UP and to TELL the world about the MAGNET and the ENERGY behind it. And then you ZING. Yes, then you ZING. You allow yourself to ATTRACT those who are ready for it, who needs what you HAVE, who understands the VALUE you bring and who will gladly give you an EQUAL monetary exchange for it.

May I humour you a bit more? Scary enough, if you go and look at the meaning of the words “competition” and “compete” in our dictionaries, you will find the following meanings:

 Competition:

1. the act of competing; rivalry for supremacy, a prize, etc.: competition between two teams.

2. a contest for some prize, honour, or advantage: to enter a competition.

3. the rivalry offered by a competitor: small businesses getting competition from the chain stores.

4. a competitor or competitors.

5. the struggle among organisms, both of the same and of different species, for food, space, and other vital requirements.

BUT… The word derives from the 1595-1605 Late Latin competītiō=competī-, variant s. of competere to meet, come together + -tiō -tion. So it actually means to meet and to come together.  Not division like we have been taught. 

 

And if we look at the verb, compete, the dictionary says it means:

To strive against another or others to attain a goal, such as an advantage or a victory. 

And again if we look at the source, Late Latin,  competere,  it means to strive together, from Latin, to coincide, be suitable : com-, com- + petere, to seek.. Not me against you, but to strive together, to coincide.

However, we have been misled to belief the versions in our dictionaries, which are quite the opposite of what it truly means. 

Just consider these few words please:

To meet

To come together

To strive together

To coincide

Be suitable

To seek

 

Now where do strive Against each other or contest comes into play? I only see come together, strive together, coincide, suitable, meet and seek. 

We have been deliberately misled so we can divert our energy and resources. Just imagine what will be possible in the world when people start to consciously direct their energy to their MAGNETs and when they receive an equal exchange for it? This world will be such a wonderful place to be in. People will truly enjoy what they do.  And the P-word will not exist.

 The GOOD NEWS...

The Future: YOU are shaping it with your MAGNET.   You don’t have TO BE or TO BECOME. You already ARE. Imagine what could be POSSIBLE?

You are welcome to continue and be the victim of  “selling” or “struggling” or “competition”. Or you can choose another possibility now. You can choose to BE the MAGNET.  Magnetism is a CREATIVE FORCE. Just look in nature. Does the flower have to do anything to attract the butterfly or the bee to come and snack on its precious nectar? No, it just needs to be the flower. Bees fly from flower to flower collecting and pollinating as they go, not only collecting what they need from the flower but also giving it the ability to bear fruit and thus create more flowers. The Bee takes, but also gives back and creates the abundant flow of new life.  So when you become the MAGNET and ATTRACT your “BEES”, they   dispense and disperse your energy and message wherever they go.  They become your “workers.” And that is a wonderful art of giving back to you. You don’t even have to employ them to do it. They tell others about the wonderful experiences they had with you. In the old system, even if your client had a good experience with you, how easy is it to obtain an authentic reference? It is not easy - only because you started off in the negative. By the way, have you ever seen a bee compete for a flower? Have you ever seen a bee “stinging” another bee because they want to snack on the same flower? No, there are enough “flowers” for everyone, abundant, overflowing and available. It is up to you whether you want to BE the MAGNET, the FLOWER.         

Do you have any idea what power lies behind a magnet?   And it is all available to you NOW.  The choice is yours - whether you want to employ this power or whether you want to continue in “beggar and struggle consciousness” and play within the illusion of “competition”.

Disconnect - An Inside Story waiting to be unwrapped

Inside all of us, within each experience and within each situation, an 'Inside Story' is waiting to be  connected, revealed, experienced and expressed. Some delicious, delectable 'truffle" is waiting for us to be devoured.

 

 

Disconnection is keeping us from experience this truffle in our relationships with ourselves and with one another - whether in our personal experiences with ourselves and life, or in the work and market place or in family relations and experiences or in romantic relationships or in friendships or with culture, generations and gender or with society at large.    The connection lies within. The connection lies within the value. The inside story is waiting to be revealed. It just needs to be unwrapped. 

Recently I have overheard a conversation between friends in a restaurant. The young man, in his mid thirties, was sharing his work experience. His story goes something like this: “ I have a ‘nice job’. I work from 9-6 and take an hour lunch every day. I do not work at night or over weekends. BUT….I am dying. The company I work for only allows us to be ‘functional’. The CEO is a control freak and do not allow any of the staff to express or employ their value. All important aspects of the business, like strategy, etc., get outsourced to very expensive external consultants. They don’t even really know what the business is about, but they decide how and what we should do. And it never works, as we all resist it because we are not “seen” and “heard”. For me it is feeling as if we move one step ahead and then backwards 5 steps. It is very frustrating and limiting to work for an organisation like that. Our value is being suppressed and not recognised at all. I can promise you that we can do a better job than those fancy consultants, given the opportunity. When we complain or attempt to initiate something new, we get blasted or ignored. I am not sure how much longer I can stay in this environment. The ‘nice’ is not good enough for me any longer. I need to break out of it.”

Consideration 1: There is so much disconnect in the work and market place. People’s value is not recognised and/or is being ignored and/or not considered to be applied/assimilated. We hire functional skills and resumes. We do not attract and invite value.
 

I recently watched the movie “Disconnect”.  Huge and wonderful technological, digital advances, which opened up the world and the way we connect to others - regardless of location; have brought much expansion, growth, gifts and knowledge. In this movie, it is the effects of digital communication, on  the side the ability to freely, digitally communicate and on the other side the huge disconnect between people living in the same house, abuse of digital facilities, misunderstandings, etc. that created unnecessary pain, sorrow and death.  In the movie a very busy lawyer dad looses touch with his teenage, a talented musician, (not acceptable to the dad), loner son, and who had no friends. The boy fell target of a malicious scam by two other boys. These other two boys had no idea what their mischievous behaviour started, which incidentally led to the death of the loner boy.  The huge disconnect between one of these boys and his single dad, who completely has no understanding of his own son’s pain, value or desires, and who don’t trust him at all, caused the boy to act out to get true attention and unconditional love.  In another story in the movie, a couple struggle to deal with the death of their young child. They become victims of a ruthless hacker, when the wife started to chat in a “grieving chat room” with an older gentleman whose wife died.  The husband, an ex marine, had his own way in dealing with his grief. He could not talk to his wife about it. Through this whole episode, the hacker hacked into their bank account and they lost almost everything.    Everyone struggling with their own pain; completely misunderstood and disconnected from each other - with the result of tragic incidents which change everyone’s lives… Neither of the young boys’ value is recognised or understood by the parents.

Consideration 2:   We live with people, we work with people and we digitally ‘meet, connect, engage and communicate with people.  And yet, there is a huge disconnect.  The way we experience life, relate and communicate has completely changed. People need that deep understanding, appreciation and acceptance of self and value.
 

Many are completely disconnected from their true, authentic, best self.  Since birth we are conditioned by would not’s, should not’s, don’ts. We are asked to conform and to be a certain way.  We are not hearing how great we are. We are not guided to our potential. Our unique value does not get revealed or recognised.  Instead there are expectations, rules and conditions. If you do this, I will love you. If you behave in this way, it is acceptable.  Then we start to become defensive, we suppress our own feelings and thoughts, we start to act out, we learn to project, we learn to control, judge, blame, withdraw, etc.  Wounded, half adults are created.   It is difficult to recognise, appreciate, nurture and allow value in someone or something else, if we are disconnected from our own, true, authentic self and if we do not understand our own value. It is difficult to allow others to fully express and experience all of themselves, if we don’t know how to express and experience all of who we are. When we try to control or judge other’s experience or expressions of themselves, it is possibly because we are feeling entrapped ourselves; mostly by self imposed restrictions and limitations, conditioning or false belief systems.

Consideration 3: Is it not time to liberate yourself and those around you by connecting with your true, authentic, best self? You will not necessarily find this connection through books; external knowledge; mimicking others and their experiences; following other’s paths, methods, ways of being and doing; (these all have the potential to guide and assist you along your journey, however, it is not necessarily your path); or through being stuck in conditioning about ‘this is the way it should be’.    It all lies waiting within you to be revealed. 

 If you are in a position of leadership, is it not time to allow yourself and your sphere of influence the opportunity to experience, reveal, express and employ  greatness and value?

Time for unwrapping delectable 'truffles' in your life?

Unwrap me please....

 

 

What is it you need to unwrap your inside story? What is it you need to reconnect to and experience all of who you are? What is it you need to navigate and explore   all those wonderous parts of you? What is it you need to embody, assimilate and express all that you are? Do you need a safe, non-intrusive, limitless, non-judgemental and nurturing space? By the way, there is nothing wrong with you. All you need to do is to reveal and embrace the wonder who you are.

If you would like to unwrap your inside story, connect to, experience and express more of your authentic self and you wish would like to do this in a gentle, nurturing, catalysing, creative, free and allowing space; we invite you to join our 3 Day I am an Expressionist Experience.   You can register via the link   http://www.theinspirationgap.com/en/expressionist-book-now.

DELECTABLE TRUFFLES AWAIT YOU.....

 

How are you treating life?

Some gold shared today from my wise, old friend Tim Mushibwe from Zambia: “How is life treating you, or dare I say how are you treating life?”

We so often talk about how life is treating us, so as if we are victims and slaves to some sinister plan; as if we have no choices in life. When we turn it around, it brings so much richness and awareness into our experience of life.

“How are you treating life?”  and "Do you see yourself as separate from life?"

Our experience of life changes drastically when we become conscious of the impact we have on everyone and everything around us. 


When we realize we can make constructive, conscious, aware choices; when we commit to our experiences and life; when we learn to trust our choices, self worth and value; when we explore how to abundantly experience and express our authentic, true, best self; when we open ourselves to new perspectives; when we choose love over fear; and when we become self sufficient and self contained, miracles happen. Everything we wish for come to us with ease, joy and grace.

How would you like to treat life? What did you come to experience? Joy, abundance, peace, harmony, unconditional love, expansion, freedom, bliss, wonder, inspiration, adventure, glory, understanding, wisdom, empowerment, creative expression, glory, acceptance and appreciation? Or did you come to experience struggle, lack, scarcity, victimhood, limitation, restrictions, judgment, projections, conditioning, chaos, conflict, blame and being misunderstood? Would you like to attract or repel others?

You are a magnificent being. All your treasures are inside you. Your life has impact.

 

Join our “I AM an Expressionist!” Experience, should you wish to impact and treat yourself and life with meaning, wonder, inspiration and splendour. You can register on the link http://www.theinspirationgap.com/en/expressionist-book-now. One of our representatives will liaise with you to ensure your successful participation when you are ready.
 

 

Your life has impact.Harvest the fruits of experiencing and expressing your authentic, best Self.

2023 Million years ago a meteor hit Mother Earth and created the biggest meteorite impact that geologists have yet found on Earth.  

The impact was nearly twice as big as the impact that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

This impact irrevocably changed the landscape with its intensity, speed and size. 

Your life has  meaning and tremendous impact... What does your impact look like?

Similarly to this meteor we daily impact everyone on our paths and in our sphere of influence. Many of us are unaware how our state of being, presence, experience, words, actions, intentions, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, habits, behaviours, self expression and energy (self awareness) irrevocably impact everyone and everything around us.  Everything is connected. We are not living on an island without any other inhabitants.  Our experience is just as powerful as that of the meteor who hit the earth millions of years ago.    

A lack of self awareness and authentic self expression can lead to misunderstandings, projections, incorrect assumptions, blame, reactive and suppressed behaviour, victimhood,  lack, perceived limitations, self imposed restrictions and resistance.

We are liberated and blossom when we increase our level of awareness and when we allow ourselves to authentically embody, express and employ our Best, True Self.  

“I am an Expressionist” is a 3 day Explorative, Creative and Integrative Experience for those who are ready to experience the abundant fruits of discovering, experiencing, embodying, expressing and employing their Best, True Self, which lead to a magnificent path of open, receptive, joyful, meaningful, harmonious and abundant relationships; invigorating collaboration; vibrant cohesion; innovative co-creation, prosperous opportunities, engaged interaction and focussed right action.   All these are vital ingredients to fulfilment, success and prosperity.  And it all starts with an appreciative, stimulating, expressive and inspiring sense of self.

Our experience of life drastically changes and the impact we make is constructive, empowering, responsible, nurturing and meaningful. Our contribution to life becomes invaluable.  

Are you ready to be enchanted by the effects of audacious authenticity, profuse self expression,   right action and conscious interaction?

Are you ready to harvest the fruits of experiencing and expressing your authentic, best Self?

Are you ready to give yourself the greatest gift possible by liberating yourself and all those around you, through your authentic state of being, presence and expression?

If you are, you can now ensure your participation or that of your organisation or group by following the link:   http://www.theinspirationgap.com/en/i-am-an-expressionist-book-now

No more waiting...Be a lighthouse

Leadership and the Lighthouse.

The lighthouse does not run after the boats to ensure they don’t crash on the rocks. It shows the way.  Are you ready to be a lighthouse?

The word “lead” comes from the Anglo Saxon 'laed', which means to set out on a quest, to navigate into the distant horizon. So leadership extends far beyond position and power.

As a leader, you are in such a remarkable position. Will you allow yourself to consider a whole new perspective on leadership?  

ARE YOU READY to lead your sphere of influence on a quest where they will explore, experience, embody, express, employ and exude more of their Best Selves, in as many ways possible, whilst co-creating a master piece with you?

Imagine what could be possible when you lead those on your sphere of influence on a quest where they can discover, experience, cultivate and employ the following:

¥              Authenticity (Find, embrace, step into, embody, express and employ the true, best Self).

¥              Autonomy and a sense of healthy self sufficiency where we understand our own value, feel capable of fulfilling our own needs and enthusiastically contribute to the whole.

¥              Self Love (How we take care of ourselves, how we show up in life and how we value ourselves.)     

¥              Commit to their life, their experiences and physical existence. (Commit to fully experience, engage in and contribute to every situation we find ourselves in.)

¥              Self Trust (Our own ability to feel comfortable in our own skin, our ability to trust ourselves and our capabilities, and our ability to "discern" what is good for us and what is not.)

Are you ready to be a lighthouse? Are you ready to lead a quest into the distant horizon? Are you really ready to allow your sphere of influence to shine? 

If you sincerely are, you do not have to re-invent the wheel. “I am an Expressionist” is a 3 day Explorative, Creative and Integrative Experience, where participants discover how to bring more of them (Their Best, True Self) into their environment. Through uncovering, experiencing,   cultivating, expressing and employing Authenticity, Autonomy, Self Love, Commitment and Self Trust, participants have the opportunity to have a more meaningful and deeper experience of life.   Their new awareness of self, other, relations, possibilities, interactions and right action, results in them consciously, audaciously and enthusiastically participating in co-creating master pieces with others.
