Namaste as a greeting serves as a reminder that we are made of the same stuff. Hindus often greet with the phrase- Namaste- it is a phrase that you might have heard at the end of a yoga class, but it’s meaning is significance and a beautiful concept for regenerative, human leadership.

Unconditional Positive Regard is to accept and value a person, to respect and care for a person in a positive light, no matter what. Even when they are flawed, even when they might think, feel and behave in ways that we or others might not like.

Gratitude is taking a moment to reflect on how good things are. Not only when something good happens, whether it's small or big, but even on the most ordinary days.

Notice what you notice. Pay attention to your attention. Think about your thinking. And learn about the three types of Gratitude.

If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.
So why do we suddenly forget this when it comes to our own ways of thinking and behaving.

There is more to self awareness than being focused on ourselves. We have an impact on the people and environment that we come in contact with everyday. We are interconnected, so get connected to the person closest to you… YOU!

I Declare Optimism October! There are many reasons why it is normal to be feeling down in October… Let’s choose a new trajectory for October. I wanted to fill my own mind with optimistic thoughts and ideas and I get the feeling that it might have a positive ripple effect so I hereby declare this Optimism October

How the masks we wear at work to protect and shield us from harm, now could be preventing us from making meaningful human connections.

Leadership visibility is incredibly important, however, leading is less about the decisions you make behind closed doors and much more about how you are able to involve, inspire and ignite action from the people who play a role in your business success. Leader isn’t a leader if she has no followers.Human Leadership is about how others feel about themselves when they are with you. Do they feel MORE inspire and energised, MORE capable and confident, MORE a part of something meaningful?

The task of engaging often comes down to the job of the leader or manager. Many times the leader has a long list of duties that include- connecting with and keeping the team engaged. This involves nurturing a relationship and communicating in a clear, concise and empathetic way. A human way.

These three years have offered something new, hard lessons, fulfilling and elating experiences but mostly relationships that are rich, meaningful and full of joy! For all that I am thankful and I would like to share more about what more Humanly is developing into next, more people , more potential and more impact.

Leaders are being challenged to be more authentic. But what does authenticity mean and how can you find and nurture it?

Human leadership creates the space for inclusive cultures. Inclusive cultures; require human leadership where we think with curiosity, feel with compassion and act with courage.

Hindus often greet with the phrase- Namaste- it is a phrase that you certainly might have heard at the end of a yoga class, but I wanted to share the significance of that meaning for human leadership. (It is also Diwali today so I am feel especially spiritual)

Ubuntu means that, 'what I am is a result of who we are as humans - I am not much without others'. In other words, what I am and what I do impacts you and many others. In turn, what you do has implications for me and for others too. We must therefore care about what the other does. Learn more and join the workshop…

What if we could lead and communicate in a way that goes with human nature and not against it. I was realising the potential of this purpose, but at the same time, I realised that I couldn't nor would I want to be doing this alone. I know that we humans can do more when we work together, no leader, no organisation, no coach or consultant will crack this global human issue alone, but maybe a small collective of people who are like minded can make some steps towards learning together and sharing together…and that is why I built this collective.

Do people feel free to speak up?
Here is a summary of what happened this week when Internal Communication professionals discussed how to tackle psychological safety to ensure that the employee voice is heard and valued.

And… my thoughts on how to support Human Leadership that nurtures a climate of psychological safety and freedom to speak.

If you can’t find it and you need it, they you better get on and build it! The Human Leadership Collective is a group that is just forming and growing, which aims to gather so that we can create more connections and progress towards more human leadership. Is this your challenge too? Are you working towards or in a way that contributes to this goal? If so, then I warmly invite you to come, share and learn together.
