SOCAP13 Session Recap: Leaning Inward

SOCAP Global September 6, 2013


In Thursday’s session, “Leaning Inward: Personal transformation for enlightened leadership”, Michele Hebert of Raya Yogis discussed how the most crucial leadership challenge is leading ourselves.
The Takeaways:

  1. A great way to start any meeting whether in a team or one on one is to begin in silence.  Silence is a powerful gift that helps us stay anchored and centered which is important for leadership.
  2. The Hero’s Journey:  A call to adventure, into the unknown, supported by mentors, to help you face tests, that transform you, so you can return to the world with new gifts. Think of yourself as a hero. What part of of your heroes journey are you at? What gifts do you bring to the world?
  3. There is an inner force within each of us that if we tapped into, there is nothing impossible. We can achieve this by renewing our mind. How? Through reflection, exercise, mindfulness exercises, journaling, breathing, and meditation.
