In the world of business, leadership is undergoing a deep transformation. Traditional models of leadership, characterised by hierarchical structures and rigid decision making processes, are making way for a more holistic, soulful and heart centred approach, Awakened Leadership.

This contemporary style of leadership revolves around leading with intuition and authenticity. In this 10 minute read, we'll explore this transformative concept in more depth.

The Essence of Awakened Leadership

Awakened Leadership represents a shift from the conventional mindset of chasing profits and power, to one that prioritises personal and collective growth, conscious decision making, as well as a deep inner connection within and with others. It's a leadership style that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all aspects of life, both in the professional and personal realms.

The Benefits of Intuitive Leadership

At the core of Awakened Leadership is the practice of intuitive decision-making. Intuition is often described as the inner voice or gut feeling that guides us toward the most aligned choices. Let's delve into the numerous benefits of incorporating intuition into your leadership style:

Enhanced Decision Making

Intuition is a beacon of clarity in the fog of uncertainty. By trusting your intuition, you can make decisions with greater confidence and accuracy, even in situations where the path forward is unclear. Intuitive leaders possess the ability to see beyond immediate challenges and envision long term success.

Authentic Connection with Others

Intuitive leaders are not just focused on the bottom line; they prioritise authentic relationships with their team members, clients and stakeholders. This genuine connection creates trust and empowers team members to bring their whole selves to work. When individuals feel seen and heard, they are more motivated and engaged.

Innovation and Creativity

Intuitive leaders are open to unconventional ideas and approaches. They encourage their teams to think outside the box and embrace innovation. By tapping into their intuitive wisdom, leaders can inspire a culture of creativity and exploration within their organisations.

Resilience in the Face of Adversity

Leadership comes with its fair share of challenges and intuitive leaders are better equipped to navigate turbulent waters. They trust their ability to adapt and bounce back from setbacks, making them more resilient leaders.

Practical Techniques for Embracing Intuitive Leadership

Intuitive leadership isn't a mystical concept reserved for a select few; it's an ability and set of skills that can be developed and refined. Here are some practical techniques to help you incorporate intuition into your leadership journey:

1. Meditation and Mindfulness

Set aside time for meditation and mindfulness practices. These techniques can help you silence external distractions and tune into your inner wisdom. Regular practice cultivates a heightened sense of self awareness.

2. Listen to Your Body

Pay attention to physical sensations in your body when making decisions. Your body often provides subtle cues, such as a sense of expansion or contraction, a knot in your stomach, a racing heart beat, feeling tension or completely at ease which can help you determine the right course of action.

3. Journaling

Keep a journal to record your thoughts, feelings and intuitive insights. Journaling is a great way to allow your intuition to flow and a great channel new ideas or give birth to the ideas you already have. Over time, you may notice patterns and recurring themes that provide valuable guidance.

4. Seek Feedback

Create an environment where open and honest feedback is encouraged and received. Your team members can offer valuable insights that validate your intuitive decisions and help you fine tune your leadership style.

5. Build a Support Network

Connect with mentors, peers, or coaches who understand and support your journey toward intuitive leadership. Sharing experiences and learning from others can be incredibly enriching.

Awakened Leadership in Action

To illustrate the power of Awakened Leadership in practice, let's consider my own journey. As a Business Energetics Mentor and Medium with 18 years of experience, I've integrated intuition into my consulting and mentoring programs. By actively listening to my clients' needs and tapping into my intuitive insights, I've been able to guide them toward transformative growth in both their personal and business lives.

In the heart centred space that Awakened Leadership cultivates, leaders can create lasting legacies by contributing and positively to the lives of others, for generations to come. This approach transcends mere profit margins; it's about leaving a meaningful imprint on the world and inspiring others to do the same.

Final Thoughts

Awakened Leadership is not a destination but a continuous journey of self discovery and growth. By embracing intuition and authenticity, leaders can unlock their true potential and inspire those around them. This style of leadership is not limited by industry or role; it's a universal approach that can be applied by leaders in start ups, established businesses and beyond.
