Who are you? Are you who you say you are? Are you doing what you say you are going to do?

Remember, when it comes to leading other people, authenticity is what people are looking for. People are looking for real leaders. They want to work for a real leader.

The question is, ‘Are you a true leader? To answer this question, according to Sabrina Horn, ‘Being a true founder is a position without boundaries but with infinite responsibilities.’

‘Improvement and growth can never rely on faking it until you make it.’

‘A leader with integrity is unbreakable.’

‘Integrity is the table stakes for leadership. To possess integrity, you need to be whole, undivided, sound, uncorrupted, and incorruptible.’

‘True leaders search for what they can give; others search for what they can take.’

‘Minimization lies often involve rationalization and take place when people can’t completely deny the truth.’

‘A new venture is a stress test for any relationship.’

‘Values will be the basis of your company’s brand, your culture and traditions, what you stand for, how your people behave and perform, how you work and communicate, and everything in between.’

‘Optimistic leaders look for solutions at all times, often when the stakes are highest, at the darkest moments, at the eleventh.’

‘Running a successful business means making the right decisions at the right time, based on reality.’

How True Healing Happens

‘The source of my pain wasn’t a difficult past, but how out of integrity I was with who I actually am, and the future I was here to fulfill.’

‘You must be brave enough to stand for a bright future that informs and initiates the growth required to manifest and sustain that possibility.’

‘Redefine who you are according to the future you’re called to create, rather than stay overly identified with the traumatized self you formed in response to past pain.’

‘Our inner work is compromised if we don’t also include the positive, possible future we are here to create.’

‘Not all wounds can be healed. Some just need to be held with love.’

‘Freedom came when I disindentified with the self I created in response to past wounds, and looked to discover a more accurate narrative of who I am and who I felt called to become.’

‘The invitation is to gather your courage, and set a radically unreasonable intention for a wildly fulfilling future in a area of life that’s been anything but.’

‘It’s one thing to pray for healing, light and love. It’s another entirely to offer yourself as the agent through which that goodness can happen.’

‘Expand your circle of care. Consider what’s at stake for others in you creating your biggest, most fulfilling life.’

‘The relationship you have with yourself is key to outgrowing who you’ve known yourself to be, and you will make little progress until you are skillful in the art of self-compassion.’

‘Our self-defeating patterns are our decisions, not our destiny.’
