Spoiler alert: personal leadership growth is a life-long commitment to meaningful work with a life that works.

Lead yourself well.

I believe that all people matter.

I believe that all people have a right to experience the context and environment of human dignity.

I believe that all people need to face, and will face, tough conversations and gut-wrenching circumstances that require long seasons of grit and grace by others, and by themselves.

I believe that actualizing core values and meaningful purpose are what provides satisfaction of a life well lived.
I believe that the right people at the right time are MUCH better together.

I believe that sound, safe, successful, sustainable leadership is the ever-expanding personal capacity to guide, inspire and invite others to a mutually beneficial mission, while fostering a positive and values-based environment for all.

I believe that leadership is more than a title, status, position or designation. I believe it is a result of personal integrity, of acting and interacting with others that generously integrates the betterment of all participants.

Here's how leadership evolves in cultural and individual transformation - by leading one's self well.

Yes, it begins within you.
Notice. Name. Choose.

Lead yourself well.

You can lead others to the extent that you have led yourself.

The style, capacity and strength of leadership has drastically shifted over the past 3-5 years. And if it hasn't shifted within you - it's time for an update.

Work and life are dynamic. Old ways of leading well are old ways of leading.

• Notice engagement of yourself and others.
• Notice the level of trust.
• Notice transaction vs transformational teams, organizations and companies.
• Notice what's honoured and what is ignored.
• Notice what is the spoken values mantra and notice what is the lived experiences day to day and human to human.
