46. The power of following your heart – and why it’s hard for us to do as leaders

Many of us have been raised to believe that hard work, focus, practicality and responsibility are the keys to success. As a society we most celebrate the rags to riches stories that involve grit, resilience and hustle. But what often goes undiscussed is that these great inventors and business mavericks were often following their hearts – or the calls of their soul. The grit etc was in response to the scale of desire that thrummed within them for something different, more, exciting, wondrous, impossible, but oh so true to their soul’s purpose and heart’s desire.As leaders we so often struggle to harness the incredible power of our hearts’ desires in favour of ruling ourselves with our heads and following the proven method. The wild unknown path terrifies us, and thus its gift of newness, fulfilment, expansion and purpose alignment is lost to us. How do we learn to listen to, trust and follow our hearts in our career pathways and leadership approach and trust that we will be successful?Topics discussed:What is lost to us when we rule with our heads over our heartsOur reptilian brain’s need for security and guaranteed returns and why it leads us down the beaten path and away from our hopes and desires How to heal your relationship with desire, the unknown, your sense of duty and fear of loss to let your desires bring you successMy story of bringing strategy vs desire, mind vs heart, duty vs passion into harmony so that they work together for my highest good Themes: Mindset mastery; owning your desires, heart-centred leadership, mind vs heart-based decision-making, trusting the unknown, self-trust, career expansion --Sign up for the mailing list to hear when leadership support circles launch and get early access discounts to upcoming eventsBook a free 1x1 coaching discovery call or reach out for retreats, workshop facilitation, or 1x1 and group leadership coaching for your companyFind me on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠
