The principles of Heartfull Leadership

What is Heartfull Leadership®? In essence, it's powerful leadership that is committed to the long-game; a game of win:win and of leadership with love.

In essence, it's powerful and highly effective leadership that is committed to the long-game, win:win outcomes, and leadership with resilience, joy, love and purpose.

It can feel like that's lacking in the world and corporates right now, but it's there. I work with inspiring people who put it into action, every day

It's not rose-tinted glasses, nor fluffiness, nor toxic positivity.

It is about having a conscious impact and understanding that when we say yes to something, we say no to something else.

It's about remembering that people (including ourselves) are human beings, not human doings.

This quote by Lance Secretan, renowned leadership expert, speaks to that:

Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration-of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.

My Heartfull Leadership programmes are based on the principles of:

Leading with self-awareness, aligned purpose, compassion, and authenticity;
Inspiring and motivating your team, rather than directing and controlling them;
Valuing curiosity and growth;
Cultivating emotional intelligence;
Creating a culture of trust, care, empowerment, psychological safety and respect;

Liking and, indeed, loving yourself to be able to bring your authentic self to your leadership;
Leading by example, modelling the behaviours and values you expect from others;
Courage to do the right thing and to dig deep, even when it is the hard thing;

Being reliable and taking responsibility for yourself, your actions and impact, and encouraging others to do the same;
Leaning into what it takes to grow and develop others in the team, even when that is challenging;
Recognising that your personal fulfilment, team motivation and the success of your organization depends on the well-being, resilience and engagement of both you and your team members; and
Taking an active role in creating a positive work culture, starting with yourself.

It's always a privilege to see my clients embrace this - both for what it does for their teams and performance, and also for their own lives and relationships.

The world needs as many Heartfull Leaders as possible!

I'd love to hear from you, if you'd like to find out more about becoming one of them.
