When Consumed By Thoughts...

 When consumed by thought, move into the body. Ask yourself what am I feeling inside, and where am I feeling it? When another is consumed by thought, guide them into their body through inquiry. “How are you feeling? Where are you feeling it?” Be with their feelings. In that way you have opened up space for what is, the emotions that exist, without the need to deny or change. True empathy and compassion exists in this space. 

The Gift of Being Another

The gift of putting yourself in the shoes of another allows you to also understand your own weaknesses. The gift of understanding your own weaknesses allows you to understand the weaknesses of another. 

Empathy: From You, For Others

Empathy is for others, but it for you to exercise, not something to expect from others. 

Legitimacy of Experience

People’s internal experiences are legitimate and real, no matter how illogical they may seem to you.

Leadership Is...

Leadership is having the confidence to stand up with what you believe, the humility to receive and embrace feedback, the ability to empathize from multiple perspectives, the courage to change and evolve for the better and strength to get back up when you fall, all with a mindset of compassion and trust.
