Leading from the Heart was created to inspire a shift — away from fear, conformity, and disconnection, and toward a more conscious, courageous, and compassionate way of living and leading.
If this resonates with you, I’d love to invite you to take the first step to learning how you, too, can discover how to lead in ways that feel natural, confident, and true to you. Bernard Kates, the author of "Living from the Heart, "Leading from the Heart" and "Living, Heart and Soul" and I have joined together to offer a free 5-day challenge designed to give you a real taste of heart-centered leadership — not theory, but practical insights you can use in real conversations, real teams, and real situations.
In just 5 days, you’lltake one courageous step forward to learning how to lead with impact - without losing yourself. This 5-Day Challenge will help you feel clearer, stronger, and more grounded in your own unique way of leading from the heart.
