Be Kind and Do Your Inner Work“I was promoted to Vice President too soon,” reflects Don Johnson, former monk who became an executive coach and writer of articles and of the book Living a Conscious Life: How to Find Peace, Wholeness and Freedom in a Chaotic World.  “I was in survival mode.” In survival mode, he was less wise, less connected and less able to create a place of work where people could thrive. How did he find his way back? “I spent some time with the genie inside,” reflects Don. The more we spend time and attention on our inner being, the more we connect to the stillness, kindness, wisdom and connectedness inside. And we become more aware of our thoughts and feelings. We recognize part of them as repetitive and limiting. To grow as a leader and as a human being we need to do our inner work, which includes facing and transforming our limiting beliefs, with kindness. Where do we start? Ask yourself: what am I afraid of? What is the limiting belief I have, that is based on this fear? Reflect on how this belief plays out in your life and leadership and start exploring what it would be like to live free from it. “You may discover a freedom, an ease inside that then translates also with the outer world becoming much kinder and easier to work with.” “The place to start is to be kind with yourself and accept where you are.”
