OUR COURAGOUS CLIENTS
“You may have received the message that doing a lot means you are worth a lot. In this way, productivity becomes a measure of a person’s value... “…to come home to yourself is to reject the pressure of self-erasure and perpetual busyness. You can tell yourself the truth: busyness has not brought healing or relief, only distraction and superficial accolades.”
—Dr. Thema Bryant
This means doing your own work to understand how you embody your role as a leader and engage with others, so you can develop the tools to be a more integrated, well-rounded human being who recognizes that shared power builds autonomy and a thriving culture. Living a more integrated life means doing the necessary and intentional work to create a culture that affirms everyone’s dignity, simply because they are human beings.
In this kind of culture, personal value supersedes productivity, allowing people to feel connected and valued to show up as the best version of themselves. This culture breeds trust—not division. In this space, teams effectively collaborate to solve pressing issues because they have the psychological safety needed to create innovative and sustainable solutions to make meaningful change.
Leading in this way requires you to unlearn the harmful ways you have been taught you had to show up as a leader. It requires courage and a commitment to live a more values-driven, strengths-based life that recognizes that meeting everyone’s universal basic needs is a human right. We all deserve to live in a world that centers humanity over the bottom line.
Won’t you help us cultivate this world?
The majority of people don’t feel valued or (em)powered by their organizations, leading to disconnection and disengagement because their innate need to belong is not a priority.
It’s time to reject the false narrative that their worth is tied to how much they do and build a new culture rooted in dignity and belonging.
Courageous and compassionate leadership means honoring the humanity of its people. But first, you have to honor your own humanity.
“The most important thing I learned in this course is the importance of sharing our voices and thoughts. You are one of the best active listeners I have ever been able to observe.”
—Educator and Learning Cohort Participant
