Guiding Visionary Leaders Through Transition to the Freedom of Transformation and Developing Their Legacy. Challenging paradigms, discovering innovative solutions, and honoring value-driven leadership on all levels.
"The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence—it is to act with yesterday's logic." Peter Drucker
In working with leaders who have had extraordinary success, who have frequently reached the top of their fields, yet who are now ready for a whole new stage in life, whether because they need/want new challenges or because life has thrown them a major disruptor, I frequently see that they are trying to approach their new career with the mindset of their past. It doesn’t work.?
They no longer have a major institution behind them. They no longer have the well-trained support staff handling all the details. They are beginning new. The gift is in recognizing they may be new in this element of their field, or in a whole new field, yet they are bringing a lifetime of wisdom, experience, and instincts to their next adventure.?
They have built success in the traditional way: with hard work, discipline, vision and often guidance from someone within their organization. But now, in this new world, something inside needs to shift. An unrecognized, or forgotten, strength needs to be called upon along with a new self-mage. Leading differently and bringing out their creativity in a new context, doesn’t mean abandoning what they have learned, it means evolving their approach and style to create greater impact, deeper fulfillment, and sustainable success.
