Hey Leader-In-Hiding,
Yeah, I’m talking to YOU (the one hesitating to claim "leader" as one of your things).
I get it, what you do doesn’t have the same look or sound as the broken record we call “leadership” that’s been spinning since the 1950s…
So you call yourself other things like “guide, wisdom, champion, friend”…
But let’s be real, you excel at empowering people to be their best self, follow their heart, and do great things.
That’s leadership—no matter the album cover.
And it’s time to crank up the volume on your authentic leadership vinyl because the world is ready for your magick.
No matter where you are in your personal fulfillment journey—whether you’re leading a team, running your own show, or standing at the precipice of stepping up—there are some non-negotiable leadership qualities that every strong intuitive woman should not just own but rock like the badass queen she is.
1. Radical Self-Love
Kick-starting our list is the non-negotiable, all-powerful force of radical self-love. This is the secret sauce behind every true leader. It’s about embracing every part of yourself—your strengths, your quirks, and even your shadow and the things you’re learning to love. Radical self-love means advocating for yourself, having grace for your mistakes, setting boundaries like a boss, and nourishing your soul so that you can show up fully for others. Remember, the relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have. So, love yourself fiercely, and watch that love overflow into your leadership.
2. Empathetic Badassery
Whoever said empathy is a weakness clearly never harnessed it as their superpower. (They probably even think unicorns are just horses.) Empathetic badassery is about striking that delicious balance between being kind and fiercely assertive. It’s understanding the power of truly seeing your team, hearing their values, feeling their vibes, and then channeling that understanding into action that lifts everyone. It’s the strength to be compassionate without compromising your badassery (or your boundaries) for anyone or anything.

3. Inclusive Vision
Leadership is not a solo act; it’s a collective symphony. An inclusive vision means not just looking through your lens but embracing and celebrating a kaleidoscope of perspectives. It’s about creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. (And getting the in-depth training necessary when we are missing the boat on what that means.) This is where the magic I call “human alchemy” happens—where diverse ideas simmer together and the sum of the whole becomes something more extraordinary than the individual parts. Powerful leadership means having a vision that is a beacon of inclusivity, guiding your tribe toward a future where everyone thrives.
4. Courageous Creativity
Guess what? The rulebook for leadership MUST BE torched. This is no one “right way” of being a leader. Now is the time for courageous creativity. This means daring to dream big, color outside the lines, and lead in ways that might not have a precedent. It’s about seeing beyond the horizon and painting bold strokes that carve new paths. Be the leader who inspires by example, showing that creativity is not just about innovation but about courageously owning your voice and vision… your muchness and magick.
5. Rock-Solid Intuition
Finally, we arrive at the heart of leadership: rock-solid intuition. (Next to radical self-love, this is my favorite!!!) This is your inner compass, guiding you through storms and sunny days alike. It’s about trusting that gut feeling, even when it defies logic or conventional wisdom. Your intuition is an amalgamation of your experiences, wisdom, and the whispers of your deeper self. Listen to it, honor it, hone it, and let it steer your leadership journey. When in doubt, remember: your intuition knows the way. Trust it. Trust you.
So, there you have it, my friend. These five leadership qualities are your power and guide. Harness them, and the world will watch in awe as you transform your slice of the universe.
Remember, authentic leadership is not about being perfect; it’s about being real, being bold, and embracing the unique magick that is you. So go ahead, step into your power. The world doesn’t just need leaders; it needs YOU.
Loves & hugs,
