LEADING AND NAVIGATING CHANGE

“Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world” – Marianne Williamson.

I was in my early 20’s and at a conference for work. My name was chosen out of a hat to be the only staff member to travel interstate with Senior Management to attend this event. At the time I could count on one hand how many times I had left the state I lived in my lifetime. 

A key note speaker shared this poem. I had not been exposed to anything like it before. She had given every person a page full of motivational quotes and told us to put them everywhere. 

I still had this little scrap of paper with this poem on it on my work desk when I left in early 2020. The language that this woman used and the way that she spoke, it was so foreign to me, and yet something in my fumbly early adulting ways began to shift and re-orient itself.

This is the thing, playing small isn’t going to create the change in this world that is so much needed. Humanity requires that we human fully. That we guide one another along the way. And that our hearts are open, expressed and that we lead from this place.

This is the true spirituality- the part where we hone our medicine and we use it to lead in the world. We become the product of our medicine.

So, who are you NOT to open your beautiful heart to this?

Yes, leading is an inside job first and foremost, and it is essential that it expands to those around us and through our purpose in the world. 

This is day 10 of The Societe.

Send through a PM and let’s chat more about how you too can bring this home.
