Women are called to lead the way.

There is so much work to be done. Women are called to light the way through the darkness of unconscious greed, separation, hate and violence. We are needed to midwife the birth of a new world that honors All of Life. 

Here's the secret: If we hope to create balance in our world, we must embody that balance within ourselves. To amplify the power of Feminine wisdom in our organizations and the world, we must first claim it, and then learn to embody it. We have to be the change we want to see.

It is an inside job.

To do this well, we need to learn to:

  • lead and create from Feminine essence

  • integrate Feminine leadership styles with Masculine leadership styles

  • embody healthy Feminine power

  • speak truth with courage and love

“Courage is a heart word.
In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant:
’To speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.’”
— Brené Brown

The costs of over-Masculinizing

Most women’s leadership programs are designed to prepare us for leadership in the old paradigm, not the new one. They aim to empower women by encouraging us to “lean in,” speak up, drive hard, push through, take charge, solve problems and make tough decisions — which perpetuates the message that we should lead from our inner Masculine. This approach may have worked in the past, but is inadequate to meet today’s challenges.

Masculine-dominant leadership is not sufficient. And not sustainable.

Being out of balance with too much Masculine is costly for any leader, including for men. But it’s especially toxic for women.

The overuse of Masculine energy can lead to an overdose, resulting in breakdown. Many women learn this the hard way when they suffer from health challenges like adrenal fatigue or stress-related illness, and must take time off from work. Also, not bringing your full self to work leads to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment — which kills inspiration, engagement, commitment and job performance. 

“If you don’t bring your Feminine side to work,
your team will miss out on some of your best gifts,
and your organization may not be able
to change in the ways it needs to change. ”

Signs that you are out of balance

» depleted, exhausted burned out

» not taking exquisite care of yourself

» stress-related health problems 

» lost radiance, dulled appearance

» lacking passion and joy... going through the motions

» disconnected from heart-intelligence

» intuition “offline”

» questioning the meaning -- and cost -- of "success"

There is a better way

These consequences occur because, for most women, Masculine energy is not the native source of our power. It's time for us to plug into a more sustainable source – the Feminine. Envision working with a more balanced operating system, one that fully optimizes both your Masculine skills and your Feminine essence. Instead of feeling drained, you could show up to work every day:

» feeling nourished from an inexhaustible source of life-energy

» relaxed, knowing that you are held and supported

» glowing with radiance

» tuned in to your intuition and heart intelligence

» fired up about your vision for the future

» plugged in to an ever-flowing source of creativity

» joyfully connected with your people & women peers

“You can increase your influence and impact as a leader
– and expand your joy, creativity, and well-being –
by tapping into your Feminine essence. ”
