With the shifting of the conversation in business comes a new way to lead.  The successful leaders of today are open, honest, “for the company”, softer, authentic, share emotions, lead from the heart, and support you using your best skills and talents.

This is the true self being expressed: No masks, no secrets, just authentic in the moment and being present.  Most of us are geared toward doing what others expect or want from us and we do it to please or “get ahead”.  Therefore, new learning of how to be your true self is mandatory. The four main areas of learning are:

1. Clarity in your purpose and priorities: Clarity is of the utmost importance.Your purpose is what  your soul is here to do on the planet. If you don’t know where you are going, how will you know if you get there? When you are clear about what you are here for, then all actions will be taken with that purpose in mind.  Your priorities are easily identified a they will move you forward..

2. MIndset: We become what we think.  Our mindset is a fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines how we respond to and interpret situations. Your mindset is an out picturing of what you have thought all your life. In order for the soul to be operating at its highest, one must have a growth and expanding mindset. It is impossible to be our true selves when we listen to the negative inner talk. There are 4 steps to changing to a growth mindset: a) Listen to your inner voice. Become aware if it is stuck or growing.  b) Make a choice to change your mindset. c) Listen to the inner conversations of the  two mindsets and practice selecting the one that is for growth. [i.e. ”I can’t do that.” vs “I’m not sure how to do that, but I can learn how to do it.”] and d) Take actions from the growth mindset.

3. Community: A definition is: a group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within which it exists. Every person involved has a role to play to reach the goal.  Collaboration and support are a must for running a business on the soul level.  What if the commonality in business was we are in this together and we will make it happen.  All interactions are based in respect, truth and collaboration.

4. Connection to a higher power: You can call it Buddha, Goddess, God, anything you want to call it.   Something bigger than me. Create a connection with your higher power to pull you through and stay on course when that old ego steps in with stinkin thinkin or sabotage. Your soul wants to be successful at what you are up to.  Since your soul is the God within, connecting to a higher power allows you to connect with yourself and to be held to your highest and on purpose. You cannot do your soul work alone.
   

The best way to travel this road is to get a coach.  If you try to do it alone, you will only be rearranging your own opinion and judgements. You will lose sight of your soul’s and stay in the current mindset.  Find a coach that you resonate with, like and trust.  Most coaches will offer a complimentary session to explore if they are the right coach for you and if you are the right client for them.
