‘All our work happens through people– one relationship and one conversation at a time.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening, and we are not listening when we are doing anything else.’

‘To listen deeply, we need to emphasize our focus and attitude toward the other person.’

‘We are not leading if we are not listening.’

‘Trust is the cornerstone of all relationships, and the level of trust that people have in each other is the most significant measure of those relationships.’

‘Without trust, you cannot succeed as a leader. With it, there are no limits to what’s possible.’

‘It takes time and work to build trust. It takes only a nanosecond to break it. However, the deeper the trust, the more possible it is to rebuild it.’

‘Courage is the quality of the mind or spirit that enables us to face physical or moral difficulty, danger, pain, and other hardships and walk toward and through them anyway.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’-

‘Choose a change process, and communicate it to everyone who will be affected, and then pull rather than push change in your organization.’

‘When you engage your people, empower them to have a voice in decisions, and embed the changes in the fabric of your organization, you will have a good shot at ‘buy in,’ and that means that the change is likely to stick.’

‘Learning occurs by moving from not knowing to knowing through awareness, feedback, and then practice and experience.’

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.’
