As a senior executive, I was often the only female in the room. Over many years of working with men, I witnessed greatness as well as some egregiously disrespectful behaviours.

Post my corporate career, I have mentored 100’s of female executives and have come to understand that the expectations of our male leaders have shifted. We want more. We need more. More great men who will stand tall and help us to create a new paradigm for business and life.

We all have defining moments, occasions in our lives that change the trajectory of the path we are on. Mine happened when I noticed a big lump in the side of my neck, 40,000 feet in the air on route to Europe.

It was May 2010 and I had just been promoted to Executive general manager of a large Australian Travel Business – a big and exciting job, responsible for 5,000 people and $7B in sales.

You have bravely taken the call to find new and better and deeper ways to lead that are more sustainable and more in sync with the modern times.

To have this new conversation about Leadership, we need to talk about where we have come from and what is the current state of play.

For years now I have been teaching and speaking about leadership through the lens of our own 7 energy centres. This is ancient wisdom combined with my own personal experience to create a map for leading in these changing times.

Transformation - not because there is anything wrong with you. Because there is more of you available

The world needs us all to up level.

To usher in a new age of peace and community and cooperation and love.

In leadership, this is being able to walk the fine lines between two opposites. In a way, to live in the gray and murky.
