EXPLORING THE PERSONAL AS THE PROFESSIONAL TO LEAD FROM THE INSIDE OUT…
WE ARE STRENGTHENING THE WHOLE PERSON
In today’s day and age, we do not face a knowledge gap. In fact, there is an overabundance of information out there. Instead, the greatest issue we see plaguing mission driven organizations and their teams has to do with practice and process. We’re running at a million miles per hour, and now more than ever, we need leaders who recognize that our ability to care for and support others is directly linked to our ability to care for and support ourselves.
According to recent reports:
63%
63% of millennials feel their leadership skills are not being fully developed
83%
83% of U.S. workers report significant work-related stress
76%
76% of employees report experiencing burnout in their work at least sometimes
“The solution to burnout isn’t self-care, it’s systems and structures that don’t burn you out”
Leadership burnout is real but
preventable
A misguided sense of self leaves leaders vulnerable to burnout.
We become overwhelmed by a fast-paced culture that seemingly requires a constant state of busyness, which is often misconstrued as an act of perpetual service.
We try to achieve more goals, connect with or lead more individuals, and serve more people in need. And, while we serve wholeheartedly, we eventually become exhausted.
This does not help anyone. In fact, it prevents us from sustaining the type of transformative impact we’re hoping to make by perpetuating an oppressive ideology that our worth comes from what we do and have rather than who we are.
TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP REQUIRES AWARENESS & RESILIENCE
Resilient leaders are ones who can successfully navigate and adapt to the different stages and changes that are an inherent part of development in any complex system. To become a resilient leader, one must engage the various parts of their identities to develop greater self understanding. Meaning, the “work” to be done requires awareness and thus must begin within.
Resilient leaders have a deeper sense of self
In a world that over-glorifies productivity and busyness we believe that at the root of any type of larger sustainable impact, one must learn to slow down and look within. We must discover and understand who we truly are —our innate worth, our values, our aspirations, and our past experience are all vital to our healing and thus freedom. Only from this place of introspection and deeper knowing can we begin to see things more clearly. With a clear perspective of who we are and our role in life, we are able to sustain a sense of purpose and magnify it through the work we do in the world.
