As you come in, take a breath.
Deep or shallow, doesn’t matter. Just notice: You’re breathing.
Extend your exhale. Slow it down. Follow it to the end.
Ok, how does that feel? Ready to dig in?
Your role is complex and full of tensions.
More lies outside your control than within it.
You may feel tension building within you, too.
Something needs to shift, even if you don't know what it is.
You want to have a powerful, positive impact
in your work and in the world...
without burning out.
You got this. And we’ve got you.
Here's what that looks like for you:
My career has always focused on change—social change, organizational transformations and leadership development—and work has always been core to my identity.
For years I threw myself into my career with drive and ambition, working constantly and pushing hard. I told myself it was for a noble cause. I was rewarded and promoted for my efforts. Until I practically pushed myself off a cliff.
In my 30s, I was struck by the sudden and alarming awareness that I’d been living my life on autopilot. That all of my choices were actually non-choices. And most disturbing of all for this overachiever, that my effort far exceeded my impact.
All that work wasn't working. I was getting things done, but not doing much that really mattered. And I was losing myself in the process.
I realized that my ability to lead change around me required me to change first. But I had no idea where to begin. Fortunately, I found a few wise and loving people who taught me simple practices for living my life more fully and working smarter.
I got clear about what mattered most, and focused my energy there. I stopped pushing myself and others, and started to see my work as play. I stopped struggling with change and learned to dance with it.
You might assume that my career slowed down as a result, but the opposite happened. If you listen to my full story (above), I’ll share how three fundamental shifts changed my life and work for the better:
1. Reorienting my personal navigation system from outward-focused ambition to a clear and actionable intention—and how this led me directly to the C-Suite
2. Cultivating a practice of being, not just doing—which I resisted until I had no choice
3. Stumbling into transformational leadership—and how this unlocked impact I could never have imagined
Today, I teach and coach transformational leaders around the world, and I’ve created Radiant Leader as a space for us to practice these shifts and strategies together, with less stumbling, more structure and more support. I tried everything (and failed plenty) so you don't have to.
