Presence-Based Leadership Development

“I am a commitment to bringing forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just way of being on this earth.”

This is my new, public declaration of what I stand for. Bold? Yes! Pretentious? Not given the existential nature of our current environmental, social, and economic upheavals.

Navigating this unprecedented territory will require extraordinary leadership from all of us: at home, in our organizations, and in our communities. My clients run nuclear power plants and teach six-year-olds; lead universities and banks; express their passion through non-profit environmental work and solo consulting practices; live in Africa, Asia, Australia, and North America.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, you are needed. We are being called to actions that lift others, that are responsible to the precarious state of our planet’s resources, and that assume meaning through our ever-widening circles of concern.

Presence-Based Leadership is about awakening to our context, and discerning our contribution. Making courageous commitments. Taking coherent, skillful, and authentic action. Doing the inner work of self-development. And, building the foundation of Presence, the meta-competency of aliveness, resilience, and creativity.

Presence-Based Coaching is a robust and proven process for accelerating the development of others. And, in parallel, becoming present ourselves through  authentic connection.

I am living into the commitment I stated above through unique contributions of thought leadership (books and blogging,) coaching, and teaching.

What is YOUR contribution? And, how might you become more fully alive through declaring it?

Join me. You are needed.
