Hey,
Recently, I facilitated an Executive Team Retreat to determine the Strategic Direction for their organization over the next three years. One powerful part of our work wasn’t just what they would do—but how they wanted to feel while doing it.
Why? Because your emotions are the #1 indicator of your behavior. Yet most of us haven’t been taught how to process or align our emotions with our life or leadership.
So we end up stuffing them. Ignoring them. Minimizing them. Or misusing them. And that creates leadership liabilities (not to mention personal problems).
This team made a shared commitment:
“Together, we will pursue this direction and achieve these initiatives feeling peaceful, awed, confident, energized, and engaged because who we are becoming is as important as what we achieve.”
That’s what holistic leadership looks like! 🔥
So let’s take a look at your emotional world.
How are your emotions supporting—or sabotaging—your leadership?
Take our 20-question Emotional Wholeness Mini-Assessment to get personalized results and a proven framework for growing your emotional intelligence. (Or if you’d rather skip straight to the big picture, you can go directly to the article instead.)
Let this be a gentle reminder: you can’t lead others well if you’re emotionally disconnected from yourself.
