For generations, the Blackfeet people have passed down timeless wisdom on realizing our human potential through purpose, compassion, and service to others.
These teachings form the foundation for the principles of self-actualization and transcendent leadership we will explore together.
Self-actualized leaders go beyond ego and fear.
They lead not for self-gain, but to uplift others using the inner wisdom and sense of meaning revealed through Blackfeet ceremonies and rituals.
Leadership becomes about empowering people versus exercising power over them.
This journey begins within. It requires deep self-inquiry to align with your core values.
It means embracing vulnerability and cultivating humility, integrity, and compassion.
Meditation practices honed by the Blackfeet help you find calm, gain insights, and clarify your life's purpose.
By looking inward, you gain the clarity to lead outwardly with vision, creativity, and care.
Your decisions arise from a place of tranquility rather than reaction or anxiety.

You unlock potential in everyone around you.
In today's volatile world, we need more self-actualized leaders who heed timeless indigenous wisdom, not ego-driven accolades.
Companies led in this enlightened way consistently outperform the rest.
Over the next emails, I'll share more on the mindsets and practices that enable this evolution to self-actualized leadership.
For now, I encourage you to reflect on what personal leadership journey you feel called toward and how you can honor the Blackfeet teachings that paved the way.
I look forward to exploring this rewarding path with you and for those who want to explore Indigenous wisdom in their leadership development, let's schedule a get-to-know-you call.

1yBreathing and existing in the moment is not something our society reinforces, in our age of instant gratification and glamorized over-reactions. We had a conversation just yesterday over our monthly lunch rooted in an idea similar to this. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

1yMichele Price (she/her) - this is on point especially with the self-actualization ideology. Above all, “what is your purpose? “ Too often there’s ego, reactionary thinking, and even deep-seeded fear or insecurity. Meditative practice and practice as simple as breathing exercises help during the day when everyone has their “hair on fire.” The best practice for me personally is PAUSE. BREATHE. My mind says “pause don’t panic” or, “just shut up and listen!” :) thank you for this! Interested in more.
Empowered Women Now Enterprises OÜ works with progressive organizations to empower their female staff to speak up and show up in a bigger way at the workplace.
1yI fully agree with this vision of leadership. In our women's empowerment training program, we introduce our participants to the concept of self-actualization and present a different view of female leadership that is anchored in compassion and not in ego. Great conversation to engage in!
