This month we’re talking about the leadership strategy of Leading with Love. Related to this, one of the themes that’s been coming up a lot in coaching sessions lately is discernment—especially the ability to make heart-centered, wise decisions amid complexity. 🤔 🤔 🤔

When you’re in a leadership or founder role, the line between personal desires and what’s best for the collective can get blurry. 😶🌫️

True leadership discernment means asking:

➡️ Is this choice aligned with my ego or the greater good of the team and organization?

Sometimes, love in leadership looks like not projecting your unfulfilled dreams or insecurities onto others. [Cue the record scratch. I know, you may need to read this again!]

Love in leadership looks like learning to take ownership of your reactions, getting curious about what’s being stirred in you, and letting others’ challenges skim off you—like Teflon. It’s not about you.

I’ve seen leaders practice constructive discernment and make tough but necessary conscious decisions that didn’t align with what they personally wanted—but were exactly what the company needed. The work that follows is how to shift their identify or redefine their role to better align with their personal needs.

That’s conscious leadership for the organization and the leader. That’s self-love in action.

🔎 Reflection for the week: Ask yourself… Where am I being invited to pause, get quiet, and discern—not just decide?
