I fully believe in the importance of self-reflection in our leadership development. ((In our development as humans, really)) Self-reflection allows us to: Celebrate wins Analyze context S L O W  D O W N Learn from mistakes Imprint on our memories Use prior experience to solve current problems Think about what we want to do and who we want to be But we so rarely take the time to do it. That's why I often include questions at the end of my posts. Even if it only prompts you to think things through for one minute, that's 60 seconds of growth you wouldn't have had otherwise :) There are many great ways to participate in regular self-reflection: writing, meditation, therapy/counseling, coaching, going for a walk, talking to a friend... or if you are being indulgent - attending a retreat! I'd like to invite you all to join me and my co-facilitator Sarah Young, owner of Yu Wellness, at our fall retreats. Both retreats will provide time for self-reflection, great conversation, yummy food, and a little bit of movement. The photo below is from the yoga portion of this spring's I AM retreat. This fall we will focus on MINDSET (Sept 13) and VISION (Nov 15) and both be held at the beautiful Dairy Arts Center in Boulder. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g6Q9Xj9K Until then... Reflect on one recent challenge - what can you learn from it? What should you probably let go from the experience? #ThriveTogether Thriving Ibis Leadership Solutions #Workshop #Retreat #Mindset #GrowthMindset #Boulder #Event #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkforceDevelopment #Yoga #SelfReflection

🌟 Reflections on the Heartfulness Institute of Leadership 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (HALF) Program 🌟 I recently had the privilege of attending the 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅) 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 at the serene Kanha Shanti Vanam, the international headquarters of Heartfulness Institute. This 4-day immersive journey was not just a leadership course but a transformative experience, integrating the profound wisdom of Dr. Ichak Adizes with the timeless practices of Heartfulness. Dr. Adizes' methodology, developed since 1971, offers a practical and compassionate approach to managing accelerated change while avoiding destructive conflicts. It beautifully intertwines the structure of an organization with the intrinsic potential of its people, fostering a harmonious and adaptive culture. The program emphasized: 🔹 Management Styles: Insights into roles and approaches that distinguish effective management from mismanagement. 🔹 Organizational Change: Tools to navigate change seamlessly within organizations. 🔹 Heartfulness Integration: Leveraging inner balance and meditation practices to enhance leadership capacity. Pre-program preparation, including videos like "Secret of Success" and "Management/Mismanagement Styles," laid a strong foundation for the course, enriching our learning experience. What stood out for me was how Dr. Adizes’ philosophy aligns deeply with the Heartfulness way of life. Dr. Adizes himself integrates these principles into his life and work. His thoughts on "Love and Life" further underscore the value of emotional intelligence and empathy in leadership. I’m walking away with not only new tools for professional excellence but also a renewed sense of personal clarity and purpose. For anyone passionate about leadership in today’s dynamic world, this program is a must. A big thank you to the Heartfulness Institute of Leadership for curating such a transformative experience. Looking forward to applying these learnings in my journey ahead. A big shout out to the amazing HALF team, Harpreet Bhan, Sunil Dovedy, Shridhar Thoda, Olga Gurskaya, Zsofia Tovari - WeRViO Virtual Office Management, Jas Kamal Jit Singh Bhuie, Jyotish Werulkar, Yogesh Golande Heartfulness@Work, Heartfulness Institute (Maharashtra) #Leadership #Heartfulness #Adizes #HALFProgram #OrganizationalChange #PersonalGrowth #HeartfulLeadership #AdizesMethodology #ChangeManagement #CorporateCulture #HumaneLeaders #HumaneLeadership

Self Care Tuesday 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝗱-𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 As a Christian leadership consultant, life & career coach, bestselling author, trainer, and motivational speaker, I find the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) to be a profound reminder of our call to nurture and utilize our God-given gifts. A crucial aspect of this is self-care, which empowers leaders to serve others effectively whilst fulfilling their God given purpose. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀! Here’s how I use my skills to integrate self-care into my approach: ✅ 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 - as a self care advocate I help individuals and organizations, with transition routines to prioritize self-care, whilst discovering and leveraging their unique talents. ✅ 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 - In my coaching sessions, I emphasize the importance of self-care routines that align with clients’ spiritual and professional goals, helping them maintain balance while pursuing their divine purpose. ✅ 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 - my bestselling books encourage readers to embrace self-care as a vital component of stewardship, enabling them to multiply their talents with renewed strength and focus. ✅ 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 - I design training programs that incorporate self-care strategies, equipping individuals with tools to sustain their well-being while excelling in personal and professional arenas. ✅ 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 - through my talks, I inspire audiences to prioritize self-care as an essential practice for unlocking potential and creating a ripple effect of positive change.

As a leader, colleague, partner, friend and human being you are always making an IMPACT 💥 In this video, 4D’s Matt Beresford speaks more about always being on display as part of the 'catwalk of leadership' and the power of non-verbal communication. Watch to learn how every moment is a chance to create a positive, memorable, and meaningful impact on those around you. This was a huge learning from the recent 10-day silent meditation retreat Phil attended. Whether at home or work, even when you're not in conversation with anyone, you are ALWAYS making an impact. Simple actions like sitting opposite someone at lunch, standing next to someone at the bathroom sink, or seeing someone in the garden during a break. Without speaking, the only way to build a story about the person in front of you is from their micro gestures. Every minute of every day is a chance for you to create a positive, memorable and meaningful impact on people you don’t even speak to or meet. Read more about Philippa’s learnings on impact, in this week's latest blog post as part of our 5 leadership lessons from a 10 day silent retreat: https://hubs.li/Q02HmFZN0 #Leadership, #Impact, #NonVerbalCommunication, #SilentMeditation, #Mindfulness, #PositiveImpact, #HumanConnection, #LeadershipLessons, #PersonalDevelopment, #WorkplaceWellbeing

In the corporate world, where every second counts, I've found mindfulness to be a beacon of clarity and balance. Having navigated through industries from finance to health and wellness, the ability to 'respond' rather than 'react' creates meaningful connections and decisions that resonate with our core values. This practice empowers us to lead with empathy and understanding, fostering environments where creativity and collaboration thrive. Let's cultivate a mindful approach to every encounter in our professional journey. #MindfulnessAtWork #Leadership #ProfessionalWellness
