I have been on my journey of personal growth and discovery for over 8 years now. I have read many books, been to many seminars, had many sessions with coaches and healers and experienced very profound and powerful shifts through meditation, sound healing and so many other modalities. But I have to say that one of the most important lessons I have learned to date that continually is applied to my life is one that came from a very special book unlike any other books I have read.

A week ago I had never heard of Craniosacral Therapy. Today I’m lying on a massage table getting my first session. Serendipity: the gift that keeps on giving.

Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be.

Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman won’t work” (which, by the way, research says is not true.) The truth is we can do a lot more ourselves to build our confidence levels that will give us credibility on the leadership track.

What in your life is so inflamed + aggravated that it gnaws at your psyche?

What keeps you up at night bleary-eyed + restless?
What keeps you contemplative in the shower?
Zoned out behind the wheel?
