Self-Care for Leaders

Fostering Inclusion & Belonging

Good leaders know the value of a diverse team. They seek to include a wide range of talents, skills, experience, viewpoints, and backgrounds. They appreciate the value each gender brings to the table and welcome opinions and ideas that are different from their own.  Today’s guided insight centers around the value of diversity and inclusion and the benefits that are derived from a well-rounded team. 0:00:00 - Introduction & Show Framing 0:00:17 - Why Diversity & Inclusion Matter (Definition + Purpose) 0:02:00 - Leaders’ Responsibility & Harm of Hostility/Exclusion 0:03:30 - Practical Inclusion Actions for Leaders 0:04:30 - Guided Mindfulness / Mantra Practice: “Everyone Belongs” 0:06:15 - Reflection, Daily Application & Outro To get the most out of these learnings, download the free workbook I created that guides you deeper into each practice. https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/ [https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/]

Aspirational Leadership

Today’s guided insight encourages you to think big and aspire for great things. You need to set yourself up to succeed and it all starts with getting your thoughts aligned with your big dreams and aspirations. Why not be a bold visionary! Let go of the obstacles and the stories you are telling yourself that keep you small. YOU set yourself up for success. Consciously choose what you believe and who you surround yourself with. Your beliefs will affect your mindset and how you lead. Surround yourself with only possibility-minded people that inspire you and are inspired by you.  00:00 - Welcome & Episode Framing 00:17 - The Cost of Starting Your Day with Bad News 01:10 - Two Paradigms of Aspirational Leadership 01:45 - Setting Big, Bold, Uncomfortable Aspirations 02:25 - The Power of Community & Possibility-Minded People 02:55 - Guarding Your Five Senses & Inner World 03:15 - Accessing Inner Silence for Clarity 03:50 - The Journey: Challenges as Teaching Moments 04:20 - Guided Practice: Embodying the Insight 05:27 - Closing: Live with Unlimited Possibility To get the most out of these learnings, download the free workbook I created that guides you deeper into each practice. https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/ [https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/]

Self-Care for Leaders

It’s your self-care practices that will give you the stamina and resilience to handle the demands that come with leadership. The key is to make time for your own wellbeing – body, mind, and spirit. In today’s guided insight I talk about the importance of taking the time to take care of yourself on every level because excellence in leadership requires energy and the most sustainable form of energy is a healthy mind and body. 00:00 - Welcome & Episode Framing 00:18 - The Cost of Neglecting Self-Care 02:10 - Reframing Responsibility & The Role of Choice 03:20 - Defining Self-Care & The Action Plan 04:05 - Identifying Your Imbalance 04:30 - Self-Care Practices by Dimension 05:04 - Transition into Guided Practice 05:45 - Guided Meditation: “I Take Care of Myself So I Can Take Care of Others” 07:13 - Closing Reflections & Call to Action To get the most out of these learnings, download the free workbook I created that guides you deeper into each practice. https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/ [https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/]

Admitting When You Are Wrong

It takes a humble and vulnerable leader to admit being wrong. What often inhibits you from admitting your mistakes, is a fear of looking bad, falling short of expectations, and losing your credibility. What we have to remember is, we are all on a learning journey. When you, as a leader, approach your mistakes with honesty, transparency, and a mindset of continuous improvement, your mistakes become opportunities to grow not only for you, but also for everyone on your team. When you acknowledge being wrong and you bring a willingness to think differently going forward, you make it safe for others on the team to be transparent and vulnerable. Today’s guided insight invites you to have the humility to admit when you are wrong and the courage to learn from it.  0:00 - Admitting When You Are Wrong: Introduction and Importance 1:09 - The Role of Humility and Vulnerability in Leadership 1:50 - The Impact of Rigidity and Lack of Diverse Opinions 2:29 - Steps to Take After Making a Mistake 3:23 - Asking for Feedback and Moving Forward 3:59 - Guided Insight and Mindfulness Exercise 5:26 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts 5:45 - Encouragement to Reflect and Integrate To get the most out of these learnings, download the free workbook I created that guides you deeper into each practice. https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/ [https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/]

Compassionate Leadership

Today’s guided insight offers you the challenge to be both a strong and compassionate leader, simultaneously. When you think about it, these 2 leadership traits go hand in hand because compassion takes courage and courage requires strength. When activated in tandem, they become a leadership superpower. Consider how you might cultivate strength and compassion not only for others but also for yourself. I invite you to begin to see self-compassion as a powerful form of self-care. Notice the source of your strength and compassion. You will only find it by looking within yourself.  00:00 – Introduction to the Episode & Host 00:18 – Compassion Is Not Soft: Redefining Strength 01:40 – Practicing Compassion for Your Team 03:05 – Compassion in Action: Service & Support 03:55 – Turning Compassion Inward 04:50 – Preparing for the Guided Insight Practice 05:27 – Guided Insight: I Am a Strong and Compassionate Leader 06:03 – Closing Reflections & Next Steps To get the most out of these learnings, download the free workbook I created that guides you deeper into each practice. https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/ [https://innertelligencecoaching.com/on-your-way-in-workbook/]
