Inner leadership


1:1 Mentorship for professionals


Deepen your inner leadership and learn how to initiate inspired change. With 5 inspiring modules, we address your question and you transform your story.



Schedule your introductory meeting

Being a leader, it is important that you pay attention to your own growth processes.

After all, people are looking at you for direction, to make decisions and to inspire their personal or professional development.

 

Walk your personal Hero's Journey
Giving attention to your inner growth processes, allows you to deepen your self-awareness. Your uniqueness grows and so will the development of your authentic leadership. This is how you become a beacon of light for yourself and for colleagues.

 
Walking your journey towards authenticity is called the Hero's Journey (Joseph Campbell). As a leader, as a hero, you set out to discover new worlds where you will find inspiring talents.

 

Inviting your soul and personality to co-operate
The ancient Greeks assumed that we have a soul and a personality. Our soul is naturally wise, gentle and forgiving. Our personality is, as it were, the coat we chose in this life to work out soul processes. For balance in your leadership, it is essential that you know how to let your soul and personality become friends in order to grow together.


Content
You will learn how to live your purpose as a leader from your core, firmly grounded.


A few topics we will be experiencing:

  • What is your purpose, soul mission, as a leader?
  • How do you become aware of signals that indicate it is time for change?
  • What is a healing movement for your leadership?
  • How can you deal with opposing forces in a nourishing way?
  • What insights can you receive from a specific, recurring dream that you cannot quite put your finger on yet?
  • Which soul desires require your attention in the coming year?


 

Do you feel that you 'have something to do yourself' with challenging work or personal situations?

Feel welcome to schedule your introductory meeting.

Testimonials



Έχω συνεργαστεί με τη σχολική σύμβουλο Hélène van Oudheusden με επιτυχία στη Λέσβο. Έχουμε οργανώσει σεμινάρια σχετικά με την ενσυνειδητότητα και τη διδασκαλία με θετική ανατροφοδότηση στον Μόλυβο.


Συμμετέχοντες ήρθαν από όλο το όμορφο νησί μας για να παρακολουθήσουν τα σεμινάρια. Μοιράστηκα τον ενθουσιασμό, την τεχνογνωσία, την εμπειρία και την ακρίβεια της Hélène. Οι δάσκαλοι, οι γονείς και τα παιδιά μας, αγάπησαν το σεμινάριο κάτι το οποίο τους ενέπνευσε στο να εφαρμόσουν τα όσα άκουσαν στην καθημερινότητά τους.

I have been there: coming from a career in the corporate world, a burn-out has taught me how to stay true to what I truly desire. I wholeheartedly grant you this sense of freedom too.




In new situations, a different story is often needed - a story that provides direction for the new journey and offers stability when that journey feels like climbing a steep and challenging mountain.
