Where Success Truly Lies?

Self-Discovery Fuels Success.

Many people desire a great lifestyle, freedom, inner peace, joy, and of course, financial prosperity. The great news is, you can have it all without succumbing to exhaustion, unhealthy levels of stress, and burnout.

I wanted to share a powerful transformation story from one of my clients, a General Manager of one of the manufacturing companies in Australia who sought not just business success, but a deeper sense of peace and authenticity.

When we began our journey together, the primary focus was on reducing his stress and optimising business operations and driving growth. However, as we delved into the heart of the matter, my client, let's call him Michael, began to uncover a crucial realisation.

Much like all my clients, Michael grappled with an unconscious need to control and do everything by himself, stemming from a place of deeper fear and insecurity. This manifested in a tendency to micromanage, respond with defensiveness, reactions, wrong decisions, exhaustion and struggle with trust in his team's abilities.

His team lacked engagement, interest, proactivity and they didn’t have a sense of ownership.

His leadership and communication style, both with his team and clients, needed a transformation. His need for control coming from fear, uncertainty and insecurity was inadvertently hindering the company's progress.

Initially, Michael was seeking strategies and tactics to quickly create a change in KPIs and other results in his team. But what he discovered was a profound journey into self-awareness and confidence. He realised that he was actually the one who was disabling or slowing down the progress.

It takes great courage to acknowledge that, as leaders, we are often the source of the problem. Naturally, as our responsibilities increase, so do our fears and the potential for confusion.

He traced the roots of his need for control back to fear, recognising how his attitudes, past experiences, beliefs, and emotional reactions influenced the dynamic within the company. The realisation dawned that he held more agency and responsibility than he'd ever acknowledged.

Guiding him, we explored alternative conscious and authentic leadership approaches. Instead of demanding compliance, Michael learned the power of self-discovery, inner-peace, listening and asking questions. He realised he was living and leading in stress mode - in fight or flight mode most of his life. This mode creates uncertainty, constant stress and unhealthy alertness that leads to burnout and exhaustion.

His internal transformation led to inner-peace, reduction of stress and therefore reduction of “REACTIVITY”

He and his communication style became more transparent, clear and authentic.

This allowed his team to tap into their own clarity and motivation, fostering a more harmonious work environment.

With this shift, Michael found a newfound sense of empowerment, one that wasn't rooted in fear. As a result, his business and team is thriving and achieving desired outcomes.

His trust in his team grew, alleviating the stress of constant oversight. And in a surprising turn of events, revenue doubled within less than a year, all from the work he did on himself.

The realisation that inner growth directly impacts the bottom line was a revelation for Michael.

The majority of my clients, especially from engineering, construction and manufacturing companies, much like Michael, achieve not only great financial results or resolution of the major conflicts or challenges, but they reduce stress (what we measured scientifically), reduced resistance or any tension, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, life and relationships.

They created a better life-style for themselves and family and also improved decision making, connections and happiness.

What I am learning every day while working with my clients is business, finance or life-style improves directly with inner work and the evolution of Self.

With love
