Change and growth begin with the magic of conversation.
Returning from the Unlocking Eve Integrated Leadership Experience, I’m reflecting on my life journey leading me to where I am now and what is possible for me in the future. Unlocking integrated leadership in all people is essential for a balanced and healthier world, and Unlocking Eve is helping leaders find the keys.
It was transformative to spend a day and a half with healthcare leaders Eva McLellan and Kaye Vitug and learn about the #PowerofTwo — the concept that integration is unlocked and deployed within the self, between leaders, AND by going beyond the systems we’re in for increased effectiveness and better outcomes. Their partnership is a living, breathing example of the exponential impact integration can have on people and systems. We are very used to introduce ourselves in a certain way, usually highlighting our own achievements and the platforms with which we associate(d). Our narratives define our identities; the narrative can constrict or expand our leadership range. Good news is we own our narratives and we can alter them to unleash our potentials. One way to do that is to leverage the Power of Two by having conversations with your trusted partners, helping you tap into your Power of Within to refine your narratives in a self-authoring way. It will not be either one leadership style or another, but balancing and integrating the styles to become one.
The world needs better leaders at all levels; we are writing a collective story to make the world more balanced and healthier.
