Wishing you a wonderful holiday pause, and beginning to set up a truly healthy, happy newly empowered you for 2024. 

letting go of old programming, opening to new potential

The new audios will guide you in an inner transformational journey. Imagine laying that old story down, like a plastic sword that's been protecting parts of you somehow, and you believed has been keeping you successful in this achiever paradigm we inherited. Take three deep breaths and imagine taking an express elevator to your TRUE BEING-where you are infinitely sourced and moved from a very different energy. Imagine your Future Self and a whole team of champions reminding you of who you are and what's possible for your authentic joy, impact, & prosperity. Ask to receive a visioning, encouragement, a clear Truth to blast away the false trappings of modern ladder climbing that turns into a hamster wheel. Stop letting that wheel trip you. You deserve better and the world (could start with one other person or team) deserves the better you. Listen to your deepest heart. Lean into becoming one who LEADS. Limitless LOVE Expressing As Desired/Destined by your Soul. :-) This is not selfish. It is the way your life becomes a gift to you and to the world.

Please enjoy the power PAUSE audios- a short one (10 min) and a longer guided (45 min) experience with some surprise guest appearances from inner champions for you/us. :-)

ABOUT THE NEW MLA; MASTERY OF LEADERSHIP ARTS

Imagine waking up to your Authentic aliveness more, letting your deeper wisdom, true heart’s inspiration and effective genius to come out to play. Let’s say an old-paradigm MBA symbolizes teaching us to keep trying harder (smarter, better) with achiever success patterns & problem solving to be “winning the game,” (mostly from subconscious, fear-driven, culturally-constrained defaults for a game that’s not healthy-sustainable-good for us anyway). Whew! Can we take a breath after all that? :-)

It’s an axial shift in what’s running you (starting with inner mastery) and how you get to wake up to your greater joy and create a whole new world of possibilities. Are you willing to go for a healthier, happier, feel better, lead better life? You’ll discover new ways to let go of unexamined assumptions, inherited success formulas and oh-so-subtle habit patterns. You’ll realize a new Truth will indeed set you free. You’ll learn a new kind of alchemy & “technologies” to mine and mobilize the gold that’s been trapped inside (like buried treasure) and liberate this to be manifested in the lead world. No longer enslaved to your self-sabotaging, default programming, all your lists and other insidious pressures, you will gain mastery of your energy and thus your life, livelihood, leadership, and legacy. Yes, it’s profound. And extremely pragmatic, for all the important desired outcomes, down to the details of daily email, fueling what you truly want to create and who you dare to be. The deeper inner work isn’t necessarily easy or comfortable, but absolutely worth it. You’ll fall in love… with your self and SELF and truly get to feel, I love my life! If you are curious, let’s chat.

The Real New Year & Liberating your Real Leadership Success!

Happy New Year this month! April 1 is the original real new year (it was “artificially” changed by a pope in the 16th century and people who still celebrated were mocked for going on Fool’s errands, thus April Fool’s day). My invitation to you today not any fake-out joke or adapting to old paradigm inheritance either. I want your whole life to be in synch with your real self and your awesome authentic potential!

Here’s a life-altering insight (and new tool- First Thing) from my own journey and the privilege working with bright leaders like you for more than 25 years.

Check out the new audios. Let this new "First Thing" activation key be a real new year’s gift to change the way you can be liberated from old adaptive patterns still trying to succeed to authentic new potential and learning how to fly! It's so cool to feel the shift, practice our response-agility and then hear real evidence-feedback from others that experience the difference in us and with us. :-)

You may also enjoy this LinkedIn article update here. It covers some things not in the podcast and includes a link to bring you back to these audios. :-)

The first five minutes (of recording below) explains a bit more about the First Thing concept and some suggestions for when & how to apply it in daily effectiveness. The guided practice starts at about 5:07.

After you’ve heard the podcast and the above guided First Thing practice, here’s a quick audio helper to be able to apply this power/paradigm shift liberation-activation key in pragmatic action anytime in your day. “Take five” in five minutes. 1) Breathe 2) Body 3) Heart 4) Infinite Heart 5) Available, effective “instrument” of Infinite Source energy (liberated mind, open body, connected heart, synchronized soul- whole system integrative being), inner and outer in infinite flow!

Martin Luther King Jr.-inspired Steps to Activate Your New Dream

Let's extend celebrating and honoring Dr. King for more than a day- for as long as we live, hmm? :-) I was especially inspired by a beautiful clip of him speaking about that kind of Love well beyond romantic, family, colleagues or friendship-- AGAPE, and how we are invited to integrate that (and other aspects of higher Love) into what moves us forward for better lives, better business, better world. I promise you it all starts with more self-Love.

Check out the new audios for (at least) three ways to let MLK continue to call us to a higher Love and activate waking up to your greatest- NOT trying harder to achieve, but moved from that deeper LOVE that loves you unconditionally and wants the best for you and a greater JOY. What’s possible when we allow that to inspire how we listen for a new dream?

“Power without LOVE is reckless and abusive, and LOVE without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is LOVE implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against LOVE.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

Summary notes of what’s captured in the audios:

1) What is Agape and how to let this lead from the inside out.

2) What is YOUR "One day I have a dream that..." 

This is one of my all-time favorite questions! I've done this with MLA (Master of Leadership Arts) clients and whole teams to stir up deeper inspiration and bigger picture commitments that come from a different energy than typical goal setting or even "What do I want?"

The story goes that he was giving a speech when Mahalia Jackson shouted, tell them about your dream! So, he went off script and into his soul and deeper heart. That's part of why this is one of my favorite MLA questions.

Here's that speech. Feel into your own heart and soul and see what this stirs up in your potential for 2023 and beyond!

3) "Active imagination" practice of a scribed message from the essence of Dr. King to reach the new paradigm leaders meant to receive this message now. What are You meant to receive? :-)

Dear Willing Ones,

It could be disheartening to see that 55 years after my physical death and so much effort that many aspects of the movement we were working for have not moved that much. And yet, I would still say do not let that dissuade you. Take heart. Take up this AGAPE LOVE and let it heal your heart and let it radiate out from you. This IS the way to BE the CHANGE. And let your actions flow FROM this well, this faith, this illogical peace and confidence. Do not try to be good boys and good girls for a system that does not work. Inside of you or in your workplaces or in the world. You are here to create a new world. A new possibility, a new dream if you will, to leave for your children. Our children. We can still have a dream that one day…

Do not let your limited mind answer what it thinks it wants. Have the humility and courage to listen to the essence of a different heartbeat, a different drum. You’ve got to get quiet to hear this, to honor these “marching orders” and let them animate you anew.

If anything I said or did instills something in you to be who YOU are here to be, I am glad. Do not try to (just) be like me or Gandhi or anyone else. Be YOU. Be a stand for what You care about, from where you are and what you can do or influence. From what lights you up or what has broken your heart. Start small. Start inside. There is a river of Agape Love life-force dwelling within you that is the power that can move mountains. You don’t need to see the whole journey and know how to reach the top. Just be willing to take the first step. Guided from Agape LOVE more than fear-driven achievement.

What I fear I create. How to Turn this around- Proactive PAUSE (New Podcast & Guided audio)

I heard feedback that this article [Easily link back to this page- click on “audios here” in the second paragraph of LinkedIn article] was inspiring/ helpful, so I’m building on this with a podcast version and guided power pause to integrate as a pragmatic tool. Let me know any questions or insights. Cheers!

If you are curious about learning how to activate your own RESPOND vs. normal default REACT, I’d be delighted to share more and explore pragmatic applications with you.
