Have you ever been to an online workshop or event, and awkwardly wanted to “peace out” halfway through, because the coach or facilitator was:

• Imitating their mentor so much, you almost passed out from boredom?

• Oblivious to how to work with the energy of the group, so it felt more like sitting through a classroom presentation.

• Looking to others to hold the container, completely in their “little girl” energy in ways that gave you the ick?

• Allowing the participants to run all over them, so you felt there was no one at the helm of this god-forsaken ship?

• Talking “at people,” and solely focused on their drive to sell you something?

That’s a LACK OF LEADERSHIP, baby.

Did you buy whatever they were pitching?

Probably not.

To the opposite end of things…

Have you ever been mesmerized by someone’s content,

simply because of the way they held their space and boundaries?

Have you felt the difference of being on a Zoom call with

someone who can actually hold themselves AND YOU

at the same time, and melted into a puddle from the sheer

relief of this powerful containment?

Have you ever been borderline jealous of someone

else’s boss-ass moves, their unwavering voice,

and their capacity for clarity, care, boldness and compassion???

Have you ever thought to yourself, “how do they care

SO MUCH about the well-being of others,

while also managing not to fall into self-sacrifice and martyrdom?”

That’s GENUINE LEADERSHIP you’re feeling.

(And you’re probably investing with that person, yes?

Even if the one with the mediocre workshop has way more credentials,

or looks better on paper!)

When you’re able to hold the frequency of true leadership

without shrinking, proving, dominating, controlling or collapsing…

You’ve got the ticket to repeat success in your business

(and also in your relationships, and life).

You might not think of yourself as a “LEADER,” and that’s ok…

But you don’t have to be in a position of authority,

to step into leadership of your own life.
