Leadership Wellness™
Empowering the unique leader in you to embody confidence and lead well from a style all your own.
Leadership Wellness™ Framework
Wellness Cycle
Awareness Phase
REGULATE
focuses on boosting your resilience and embodying simple care – for self and others. It relies on a gentle stance along with your ability to sense and feel as a body. If you are a big doer running the hurry up hustle, this phase will ask you to slow down. Awareness phase trains you to move from your center with attention, acceptance, and grace. It lays the foundation for leadership resilience, confidence, and positive impact. In this stage we identify patterns and states, clarify needs, and explore practices using the acronym of REGULATE.
Creativity Phase
DESIGN
has us working with the embers of dreaming, play, and iteration. These inventive sparks support your journey for living and leading courageously with embodied purpose. Creativity Phase calls in practices to ignite passion and wonder. It also enhances the notion of full permission and authority in your self-leadership. The teachings invite you to leverage your inner creative for fanning the flames of novel experimentation while further refining your artistry as a leader. Playing in the strategy acronym of DESIGN opens the doorway for innovation and the expansion of your leadership radiance – aka wonderfully authentic you, in the spotlight.
Connection Phase
RELATE
offers spaciousness for enhancing your ability to create and play with others. To be able to show up, be seen, and be in relationship with responsibility and inclusion. This type of agency is developed through the practice of multi-dimensional listening, authentic expression, and creating safety for interpersonal animation. In this phase, you’ll learn to advance your ability to see, hear, and feel the unspoken, often unseen needs of the moment – and to take leadership action. You’ll engage relational practices, reflection, and conscious conversations to create a culture of risk-taking for the sake of calling forth co-leaders and advancing community wisdom and service. Connection Phase actuates through the acronym of RELATE to enhance the influence of your leadership communication and collaborations.
Activate and
Grow
When your wellness cycle is disrupted or blocked, your sense of wholeness gets jammed up, and so do you. You are less embodied, and your capacity shrinks. That’s when butt-kicking habits show up and create dissonance in your body, mind, and actions affecting your relationships and outcomes.
Dissonance is the critical voice that tells you leadership lies. It’s the physical reaction that keeps you stuck or playing small. Internal sabotage factors like self-doubt, worry, and getting it right grab your attention when dissonance arrives. Staying stuck in dissonance messes with your mood and gives your inner critic an influential voice. It’s the stuff that derails dreams.
Activating your Wellness Cycle nourishes your leadership and develops range.
The Four Cornerstones of Empowerment
The Four Cornerstones are areas we engage and expand in the Leadership Wellness™ Program. They frame the wellness cycle offering distinct lenses from which to enrich your approach while honoring your unique way. For the modern-day leader, the cornerstones make the difference between restrained presence and authentic, engaged leadership filled with meaning and aliveness.
INTUITION
Access body wisdom.
Intuition gives access to restorative, body information. Active intuition brings connection to multiple fields of information. Revealed insights can positively impact your well-being as well as your influence as a leader. Choosing to follow your intuition is a powerful and energizing act that enriches your leadership competency.
REVERENCE
Create wonder.
Reverence is the elixir for sacred leadership. Activating wonder calls forth deeper awareness toward the mysteries of life. Fueled by respect and loving-kindness, reverent leaders become invitational, elevating connection. In action, reverent leadership contributes to worldwide positive change and healing.
CURIOSITY
Explore the view.
Curiosity explores perspective and vision while delivering new learning. It’s relational and non-judgmental - a trait that our current world is calling for. When you bring curiosity as a leader, you open the experience and tread into new realms. Curiosity also ignites creativity while inviting in connection and care with other leaders.
COURAGE
Choose growth.
Courage offers possibilities for growth. It can feel scary and disorienting to be courageous. That’s OK, working with courage stretches your edge. As you strengthen your muscles of courage, you learn to live into your authentic leadership, guided by values, purpose, and vision. Acts of courage can also attract new allies within your community.

Embodiment Matters
Leadership grows from the inside out with awareness and action. The reality is that as you discover and nurture your leadership calling, there is no formula. The clear path is held within your unique structure and it’s your body that knows the way.
To be well and lead well, embodiment skills and willingness to grow are essential. Skillful embodiment allows you to break mental and behavioral feedback loops that don’t serve your leadership. You’ll become less reactive, and more responsive. Bringing the Leadership Wellness™ framework to life through embodied practices strengthens your ability to relax, recover to wholeness, and be the leader your world is calling for.
Embodiment is your compass on the path of Leadership Wellness ™.
Choose
ACTION:
SLOW DOWN.
BE EMBODIED.
LEAD WELL.
At first suggestion, taking Leadership Wellness™ action might feel uncomfortable.
Notice what you do in your body when you consider it.
In this pressurized world of overactivity, simply the thought of slowing down can send leadership choices into what I call the hurry up hustle. As a leader, you may have a habit of equating your success from here. This kind of pushing force, can often drive you to your edge with exhausting results. It may also cause a shrink back and comply reaction because being truly seen feels unsafe.
So, at the end of the day, striving and self-criticism become your drivers. Your energy has leaked out, leaving you feeling tense, drained, and disconnected. Your wonderfully unique influence has ghosted you. Your leadership suffers and so does your confidence.
Let’s get
REAL.
You are not going to empower yourself by being tense, exhausted, & disconnected!
Embody Your Leadership Wellness™
When you consciously embrace the path of Leadership Wellness™ a spark ignites. Movement is set in motion. The field in which you are creating energetically changes. You move from living a role to embodying leadership intentions with vision. New perspectives arise and you can choose to consciously design your leadership from the power of your authenticity.
The shift from concept to lived experience also increases your potential exponentially. Your life becomes more alive and vibrant. You become empowered to lead from your whole self including your unique essence. Your soul gets nourished. You grow as a leader while honoring your values. Well-being is supported. You understand the subtleties of disruption and course correct in service to your calling.
At the same time, those around you see and feel the impact of your intentional leadership and wonderfully, divergent contributions. This kind of reflection offers permission for others to step into their unique version of leading well. Imagine the possibilities of this domino effect!
