Leader Within: The Intersection of Leadership & Awakening - Week #23 of The Awakening Journey

Leader within is a mindset. It is a choice, an energy and geography that we are going to explore a lot more going forward. Connecting with your leader within is a way to reset & upgrade your operating system. The result is a more efficient, effective, effortless way of performing in the world. 

In the past, you may have felt overwhelmed or unsure of what to do when faced with challenges at work or in your personal life. When you are in alignment with your leader within, you have a crystal clear map of where you are going and exactly how to get there. 

What does it mean to operate from Leader Within?

It’s HOW we do things when we are choosing to be in The Empowerment Dynamic. It’s the starting point, sort of like being at the starting gate in a race. 

Except this isn’t a race to anywhere but an invitation to step back into your inherent nature. The place you are meant to choose from.  

It is an alignment and an integration with your physical, mental and spiritual leadership. 

Once you are embodying your own Leader Within, you can consciously and effortlessly choose how to lead. Anxiety, angst, and neverending deliberation about what to do next or how to do it end. 

What dimension of leadership to step into next just flows from this place. 

Your Journey to Leader Within

I want to take you on another journey. You don’t need to pack anything, just bring yourself. Yes, your Self. 

We are going to go Within, inside of you to meet your Leader Within.  

All you need to do is stand up, knees slightly bent. Get grounded and put one hand to your heart and one hand to your stomach. Close your eyes. Breathe. Listen to your breath. Come into the present moment. 

Imagine you are in a sacred circle and you are completely empowered. To do anything.  What is alive here, what is waking up within you?

From this place think about a challenge or an issue you are facing and allow the answer to come through from your leader within. While you are standing here, while you are embodying leader within.  

This Week’s Practice:

Get in the geography of Leader Within. Every day. Before every meeting. Before conversations.  

In zoom meetings, even if you are sitting put your hand on your stomach. 

Get a standing desk & embody this geography during all your calls.

Notice: How does it feel when you engage your body with your leadership, when you align with your Leader Within.

Next, we will talk about Minding the Gap: Intent and Impact, in the meanwhile remember the present moment is where your best life happens.

With love, presence and gratitude,

Darla
