Transformative Leadership Development for Global Social Change

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.

Leading Whole is about walking boldly as your authentic self

The Leading Whole Method helps teams create a new base point or standard for living: one where they take full responsibility for the life they live by learning to not only be the lead actor in the movie of their lives, but by seeing themselves as the scriptwriter who decides how the narrative unfolds.

 

We are developing leaders who serve as agents of change

in their local communities and abroad.

I came to Akwése during a time I was struggling to connect with a professional sense of purpose, my family and life dreams. My focus was on getting back my mojo. As I went through the coaching journey, I reconnected with some key core values and passion, and a belief that I could express them through my work again.

What felt most supportive was the way Akwése helped me unpack what was going on for myself by connecting who I am, what brings me joy, and what I want. One of the major breakthroughs I experienced was an increase in agency and fun. I was surprised by how easy it was to reconnect with joy and energy when I had previously felt distant from those things in life. Akwése enabled me to make significant shifts in how I engage with myself and my goals, helping me find solutions to the challenges I faced.
