The Leadership Labyrinth
I recently had the opportunity to walk a labyrinth several days in a row. On the last day, I was honored to accompany a leader through the experience for the first time. In preparation, we looked out onto the horizon, took a deep breath, and set an intention that would help keep a slow, deliberate pace.

You and Your Leadership Impact? Have you checked in lately?
Whether you see yourself as a leader or not, you are having an impact on the world. Your every breath, movement, word, interaction, and every thought have an impact on something or someone else. Everything we do has varying degrees of impact. Sometimes the impact is seemingly small and goes unnoticed.
What is Your Leadership Mindset?
Your impact stems directly from your mindset as a leader, because your mindset affects your behaviors, which then affects your results.
2000 Thoughts Per Hour

Leading with love is a higher testament to one’s leadership acumen than simply taking the well-trodden path toward fear-based, power-hungry management.
