Intuition as a Leader Today

Intuition is trusting the inner knowing if something is right or if something is off track. 

Intuition should be your first point of reference in trusting yourself as a leader in today's world.

Leadership is and always has been about figuring out what to do in certain situations. 

Let’s look at three words that seem to be tied to today’s leader’s intuition: love, honor, cherish.

Love

If we don’t learn how to love ourselves, it is very difficult to give love out to the world or how to receive it. 

Love is the most universal power there is. What is your experience of love? What is your experience in being in a relationship with yourself? 

When you can shift into love for yourself, you will be able to best serve and lead others around you.

Honor

How do you honor your own being? How do you take care of your mind, your body and your spirit. We can learn from everyone. Wisdom can be extracted from others. It may come in the form of observing other’s lives or watching a child doing something that seems like an everyday thing. 

Journaling will help you see the wisdom from days gone by. 

The modern day leader is observant of people and things around her.

Cherish

We were designed to be cherished. If you do not feel like you are being cherished in your life - pull back and get still. Ask what being cherished looks like and feel like for you? This is the wisdom of the heart so you can feel good about who you are and how you are showing up in the world. Develop a sense of what it means to cherish your own being. Observe if this is being given back to you from the people around you. Be present and aware who is nourishing, cherishing and feeding your spirit. We are priceless and precious. Nourishing your own spirit is by developing a pattern that you do - a walk in nature, a study/reading, and creating a very clear vision of how to show up in the world. 

Being your authentic self brings you power in itself. 

Ask if your team loves being led by you. 

Leading as a leader today looks like throwing off the burdens and boxes that people would push us into and not being molded by what other people say we must do or can not do. Ask yourself to be shown what you need to see. Trust yourself and you will find your purpose, your authentic power and your intuition will grow strong. 

The world needs you to be exactly who you are. 

Best,
