Most women have a love-hate relationship with words like LEADERSHIP and POWER. Yes, we want to make an impact and influence others. But the patriarchal model of leadership is that of a bully who uses their ego to wield power over others. Someone who is not particularly kind, loving or compassionate. How can we redefine what it means to be a good leader? And what are the characteristics of strong leadership in an evolving, post-patriarchal world?
Today, Sylvia walks us through the first 6 of 12 new leadership traits or freedoms that helped her navigate her father’s death. She explains how the freedom from fear and self-doubt helped her make decision after decision without browbeating anyone (including herself!) and describes how freedom from the need to please supported her when others disagreed with her handling of a situation.
Sylvia goes on to discuss the freedom from resistance that allowed her to surrender to the moment and achieve a flow state despite circumstances beyond her control. Listen in for Sylvia’s insight around embracing the paradox that comes with freedom from time pressure and learn how being free of perfectionism helped her find beauty in a messy, imperfect, surreal situation.
