The greatest gift you can give your organization is that you show up with your own cup full, so you don’t need anything from anyone

Pallavi and I delve into the world of self leadership and empowering yourself for joy, fulfilment and better results. Leadership essentially comes from the inner experience not the outer experience. incredible insights on self-leadership ; defining it as having inner clarity, knowing what truly matters to you, and intentionally guiding yourself without needing this external validation. Think about it: How often do we look outside ourselves for answers when we already have the tools within? One shocking stat that really hit home: only 13% of CEOs believe they have the leadership potential available to grow their business today. This highlights the urgent need for leaders to connect with themselves and do the inner work. The next generation requires the skill of self-mastery in a tech-driven world where AI will do the – non-human – rest.

We walk through Pallavi's ATM framework: Arrive in the present moment, Take responsibility, and Make a conscious choice. This is the basis for framing the journey for leaders to break old patterns and create new neural networks, leading to real empowerment and joy.

If you were to ask yourself how much of your leadership potential is available today for reinventing and innovating on the status quo what would your answer be ?

Taking stock of reality, anticipating change and equipping ourselves to lead through the transition curves is key in todays complex environment.

- Empowered leaders do not blame others or the system but take responsibility for crafting their own life first in order to be better leaders. The ATM framework for personal growth gives three steps to unlock true potential:

· Arrive in the present moment

· Take responsibility and know what truly matters to you

· Make a conscious choice

- They can be applied consistently in our everyday lives and also to any challenging or conflict situation because they help break the automatic response that is programmed in our body and mind.

- Small actions that create new neural networks lead to increased confidence and empowerment to choose and do what we really want; stressed teams need clear, calm, joyful leaders who understand this.

- Our attention faces multiple distractions, and we need an adaptive culture to avoid overwhelm and creating more stress for ourselves, i.e. by revolutionising workplace wellness and making work more joyful and...
