As a leader it is easy to find yourself in a position where you are under pressure to cave in to opposing interests. I recently watched the Post with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks which illustrates it beautifully. On the one hand you have Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep who want to do the right thing. On the other hand you have the investors and the banks and even the Justice Department, who want you to do the opposite.

How do you make sure you do the right thing?

By first aligning yourself internally, and then aligning with the energy of the business or project you are working on, so that the energy you bring to the room is in integrity - we talked about the energy we bring to a room in EP 6. The second thing you want to do is align with the energy of the business itself.

And then you can use the Sacred Heart to place the whole situation in it.

You can learn more how to do this in the episode. If you want to learn how to use spiritual tools to enhance and bring ease into your leadership, book a discovery call to find out how you can work with me.

Bristol born Dan Bartlett is a two-time founder, TRE practitioner, a coach and a long life practitioner of meditation in many different forms. As a self taught engineer, he embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship with the enthusiasm of youth. He co-founded a social network platform for meditator, which he then sold. His second venture, Almanac, a workflow tool and demanded that he worked around the clock to stay in touch with stakeholders in different times zones. Then the pandemic hit and his marriage fell apart creating the perfect storm.

Burnout hit big time with fatigue, pain in the body and numbness. Feelings of incompetence drove him to work harder, which, instead of solving the problem, compounded it. Dan experienced very scary feelings and took four weeks off but as soon as he came back, the burnout symptoms returned. He felt resentful and cynical, which surprised him as this was not in his true nature.

When he finally stepped away, he felt like a failure. He worried about having let people down.

The thing that helped him the most were long walks in nature, cold plunges and forest bathing.

As a leader, knowing who to trust is paramount. My Spirituality for Leaders podcast is here to help you understand spiritual tools that can support you on your leadership journey and today we are going to talk about intuition.

Perhaps you already trust your intuition. Maybe you don't. Maybe you would like to be able to trust in all the time - if that's the case, the best way to do this is probably to work with me one on one, so book a discovery call to find out about the different ways to work with me.

Intuition is often believed to be pattern recognition in leadership circles, as has been documented by Malcom Gladwell in his book Blink, but it's so much more than that.

In this episode, I give you three processes that can help you tap into your intuition. The third one is using a tarot deck. If you don't have one, I am recommending a deck in the episode. I am also inviting you to sign up for my newsletter so that you are informed of when I will be launching my tarot for leaders online course.
