Learning to Lead with Guts & Grace

You have the power to change your experience

After more than a decade of coaching, training and advising executive leadership teams, LeeAnn found that most mission driven leaders—especially women—begin to systematically ignore their bodies and disconnect from their intuition in order to get ahead at work.

It’s not just about failing to exercise or forgetting to mediate.

It’s about favoring rational thoughts and data over what you deeply know. Trusting the “experts” over your instincts. Driving toward linear growth while missing life-giving, intuitive cues that could help you make game-changing adjustments to your leadership. 

It’s not your fault. It’s an epidemic. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Identify the symptoms

Self-awareness is key

Leading with guts and grace requires that we identify the warning signs of when we are disconnecting from our bodies and ignoring our inner guidance system. Here are some of the subtle yet serious consequences and signs to look for:

  • faltering confidence
  • burnout and exhaustion
  • getting overlooked for promotions
  • getting promoted, but hating your job, colleagues or company
  • impostor syndrome
  • self-doubt
  • the inability to see, use, or believe in your own strengths
  • Uncertainty about your next step

The Four Keys to Full-Bodied Leadership

Embody

Learn how to build resilience and bring your whole self to work
Embodiment is about wholeness – reclaiming any parts of yourself that you left behind in order to succeed earlier in your career. An effective, embodied leader knows how to bring all of herself to work, in a way that adds, rather than detracts from her professional impact.
Master the art of:
  • Physical well-being & embodied joy
  • Energy, boundaries & balance
  • Desire & owning your success
  • Radical self-acceptance
Results
Reduce Burnout

Empower

Step out of self-sabotaging mindsets and career-limiting habits
Empowerment is about taking effective action, especially when the going gets tough. Rather than just looking ok on the surface, an empowered leader takes responsibility for her triggers, emotions and thoughts, and uses them in a truly productive way.
Master the art of:
  • Learning mindset & mastery
  • Shifting limiting beliefs
  • Emotional clearing & resilience
  • Dismantling self-sabotage
Results
Shut down Resentment and Unproductive Complaining

Activate

Establish a powerful North Star and clarify your leadership purpose
Activation is about honesty of purpose – knowing what matters most to you, both in your personal life and at work, and taking aligned action. An activated leader takes the risk to honor her inner longing, rather than selling herself short and playing small.
Master the art of:
  • Visionary thinking & practical action
  • Leadership presence
  • Cultivating intuition
  • Passion, purpose & soul essence
Results
Build Congruence of Mission
and Action

Inspire

Embrace both conflict And collaboration, develop the power and presence to influence
Inspiration is about sharing your truth. It’s about being generous with what you think, feel, see and know. An inspired leader speaks up in a way that invites others to stand beside her. She becomes the catalyst—and embodiment—of the change she wants to see in the world.
Master the art of:
  • Self-trust & self-advocacy
  • Radical truth-telling & difficult conversations
  • Leading through influence
  • Powerful mentoring
Results
Own and Use Your Voice
