Most of us, if we’re asked, \u201cAre you a leader?\u201d would probably say, \u201cNo, not really.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This article explores the ways in which we\u2019re all leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you a leader? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you see yourself as a leader? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with looking at how a leader is defined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my favorite definitions of a leader is, \u201cto cause to go with oneself.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This blog is all about helping women to align with their True Self, their True Nature, and to live the authentic life they want. If we think of leadership as causing one to go with your True Self or your True Nature, then ultimately, we\u2019re all leaders. We’re all moving toward the concept of self leadership in which we\u2019re learning to align with and go with our True Nature and our True Self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other cool thing about the word leader is it has the word lead<\/em> in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lead has to do with weight. I love the idea that when we’re in a leadership position, when we\u2019re stepping into our true inner leader or self leader, we\u2019re weighted with our True Self. We\u2019re embodying our True Self and living it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another aspect of leadership is the concept of being a way-shower. We’re able to show others a way, perhaps a way they may not have otherwise known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We could also say a leader is someone who brings forth something, which is really about being able to create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re all here to be creators. The question is, what are we going to create, and what is it we’re being called to create in alignment with our True Self? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, everyone is a leader in the moment it’s their turn to lead. Everyone is a leader at all moments in their own life. Everyone is the leading character of their own life story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What that looks like is remembering you can do something better than I can, and I can do something better than you can.\u00a0 In that moment, when I’m sharing with you or showing you a way to do something that you aren’t aware of, I’m a leader. In the moment, when you’re doing something for me, you’re a leader. We don\u2019t only learn to listen and follow one another, but also lead one another. It’s this beautiful dance of being able to honor leadership in all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n When all people are encouraged to step into their leadership role in the moment they\u2019re needed, everyone is valued for their unique gifts, and those unique gifts are given a space to shine and express. This is the way of Feminine Leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all have the capacity to lead, especially when we\u2019re aligned with our True Self and we\u2019re practicing self leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, that\u2019s the most important because there’s a very subtle way in which we lead when connected to our True Self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we\u2019re aligned with our True Self, we lead by example. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We show up. We honor our truth. We’re in integrity. We’re being authentic. We’re speaking what we need. We’re not selling our Soul just to get something. We’re also not playing small. <\/p>\n\n\n\n True leadership has a lot to do with my favorite definition of humility, which is being all that you are and nothing you are not<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When we can step into the place of being fully aligned with our True Self, that\u2019s where true leadership comes to play.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s what it means to be a self leader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I ask you the question, \u201cAre you a leader?\u201d The answer should be \u201cYes!\u201d\u00a0 for all of us if we’re aligning with our True Self.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In what ways are you feeling off or misaligned? <\/p>\n\n\n\n In what ways are you questioning: <\/p>\n\n\n\n How did you get here? <\/p>\n\n\n\n What are you doing with your life? <\/p>\n\n\n\nFeminine Leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
