calling all new and aspiring leaders
If you are a new or aspiring leader, in healthcare, government or not for profit, that wants to be a more human centred, authentic leader with bold ideas and positive impact, then you have come to the right place. Our wrap-around, yet flexible virtual training services will make you a memorable leader, starting today.
Leaders who practice a more genuine or authentic style of leadership have FAR more impact than a leader who doesn’t.
Did you know that there is over a decade’s research that shows leaders who practice a more authentic style of leadership, have significant impact on individuals, teams and organizations?
The facts and research stands for itself.
Leadership must adapt.
It’s not that new and aspiring leaders don’t want to be this kind of leader.
Research says they do.
They work hard and try to read books, go to work sponsored courses, and read online articles and blogs.
But the information is generic or difficult to apply to the everyday.
And as a result, we have aspiring leaders who choose not to enter into leadership, newer leaders who spend years feeling stressed and frustrated trying to find their own way, feel let down by or leave the field altogether.
We need this new generation of leaders. But there has to be a better way to become this more human centred leader with bold ideas and positive impact.
That’s how I designed SHiNE: Unlock Your Brilliance, my virtual online course, that is full of practical information, tools and resources. And as someone who believes in having impact and results, I developed a wrap around ecosystem, The Heart of Leadership Experience, that ensures you can practice this every.single.day and successfully.
Through my experience working with and training hundreds of leaders, I discovered that the strongest connections I made with those who already understood the importance of staying true to their values and who prioritized not only achieving excellence but also cultivating a positive work culture.
These were the new and aspiring leaders would shift in their seats, lean in, and focus intensely when I discussed the qualities of transformational leadership. I realized I had their attention. But they wanted more. It became clear that these were the leaders ready to embrace change and drive meaningful impact towards becoming heart centred leaders. These were the leaders I could help the most.
But the course was over. “Time to try this on your own!” I would say. I always left wishing that there were other options for these students, so that they didn’t have to try to go it alone. (I also wished there was another way to help these folks apply their learning without having to submit essays, exams, tests or marks for participation.)
I saw a different way!
And one day, a good friend said to me over brunch: “you have figured out the secret sauce to leadership, and it shows. You are like one of 5 leaders who has really figured it out! We need more leaders like you!”
And I thought – it’s time to do this, and help new and aspiring leaders knock it out of the park. And so SHiNE: Unlock Your Brilliance and The Heart of Leadership Experience was born.
What if new and aspiring leaders like you didn’t have to do it alone? What if learning to be a heart centred leader meant that you could be a part of a community of like minded peers? What if that also meant no exams, tests or essays?
What if it meant that you would receive support on a weekly basis, and through an intensive 8 week course focussed solely on authentic, heart centred leadership, not just generic leadership training?
What if you could work on the self doubt and banish it?
What if it was done in a fun, relaxing environment, where the information from the night before could be used the very next day?
I am passionate about supporting new and upcoming leaders who are at the beginning of their journey, hungry for information and eager to embrace a more human-centered approach to team leadership.
So I am sharing all 20+ years of hands on experience in authentic leadership with you…
And helping you kick overwhelm, frustration or self doubt to the curb!
My goal is to help you become confident, clear and successful.
I will provide a community of like-minded leaders and help you avoid spending years attending formal courses with generic information or figuring it all out all on your own.
And I will help you develop actionable improvement plans, that ensures you have a concrete and implementable set of actions and tasks that you will put into practice every week.
