Way of The Healer
Learn how to be a compassionate leader and grow through difficult times.
Leadership is not simply something we do. It comes from somewhere inside us. Compassionate Leadership is a process, an intimate expression of who we are. It is our being in action. Our being, our personhood, says as much about us as a leader as the act of leading itself.
What you’ll get out of this Masterclass:
In this 2 hour Masterclass, you will learn about what is known as the Leadership Diamond.
You will learn to identify and implement:
VISION
Having a clear vision of what it is you are trying to create as a result of your effort is essential to being able to know how to apply the other points of the diamond.
ETHICS
Ethics, as it is used in the Diamond model is more than behaving within the law. The Diamond uses this term to describe an attitude of care and empathy for humanity, and how our actions affect others. It includes our ability to dedicate ourselves to the well being of another human being.
COURAGE
For me, courage is the action point of the Diamond. It takes courage to face the challenges that stand between today’s reality and the vision of the future. It takes courage to change the status quo. It takes courage to move when others are against you. It takes courage to begin to change.
REALITY
Being connected to the real world is essential for success. You cannot live in a fantasy world. You must face the realities of today – the moral, financial, legal, and physical realities. You cannot pretend that realities do not exist. However, once you are grounded in reality, you can begin to see the steps necessary to deliver on the vision you have in mind.
You will also learn…
Polarities- Conflict and contradiction are part of life. The world is filled with cases where you will be faced with polarities – conflicts between two ideals or choices. What you will discover is that the world is not black or white, good or evil, right or wrong. You soon find that the world is composed of polarities where both cases are valid – it is black AND white, it is good AND evil, at the same time. Balancing polarities is part of mastering the Leadership Diamond.
Greatness- This is perhaps the most difficult of the basic concepts of the Diamond. To me, greatness comes about when a person has pushed the points of the Diamond to their maximum extent. When your vision is as grand as you can make it, when your ethical base is as strong as possible, when you are aware of all of the realities surrounding you, and when your courage is at its peak, you can achieve greatness.
