Top Takeaways Tuesday Review: How to be an Intuitive Leader
The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast, Ep. 53
I had a fascinating conversation with
in episode 53 of The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast, discussing the benefits of embracing nature and being open to the inner voice of intuition.Here are the top takeaways from our conversation with some reflection questions for you to pause and ponder
1. Intuition and Self-Awareness in Decision-Making: Intuition and self-awareness are interconnected and crucial for effective decision-making in work and life. Jannine talked to me about the importance of being conscious of our choices, thoughts, weaknesses, and strengths. This depth of self-awareness generates a growth mindset and the ability to observe, decide on, and express thoughts and feelings.
Reflection question: What can you do to make sure you listen to your intuition and inner voice when making decisions?
2. Nature's Influence on Introspection and Coaching: Nature plays a powerful role in guiding introspection and decision-making at work. Jannine’s ‘Nature's Boardroom’ programme harnesses the metaphors and wisdom found in nature to facilitate introspection and coaching conversations.
Reflection question: How can you integrate nature into your work to promote introspection and better decision-making, for both you and your team?
3. Regenerative and Kincentric Leadership: Regenerative and kincentric leadership involves learning from nature to solve problems and promoting a sense of interconnectedness with the larger ecosystem. Kincentricism is a new and burgeoning field of leadership. It encompasses a shift in worldview, values, and organisational structures to contribute to positive change.
Reflection question: How can your organisation embrace regenerative and kincentric leadership principles to create a more sustainable business model?
4. The Power of Coaching and Mentorship: Jannine’s blend of mentoring and coaching supports people to launch successful businesses and products. Coaching as a practice promotes self-awareness, a growth mindset, and empowerment and mentoring allows for the sharing of experiences, learning and ideas.
Reflection question: How can coaching and mentoring help you cultivate self-awareness to aide your professional development?
5. Mindfulness and Intuition for Better Decision-Making: Integrating mindfulness into daily practices can promote better behaviour, cognition, and health. Embracing intuition as a methodology involving trusting and expressing unconscious thoughts, which leads to better decisions and actions.
Reflection question: How can you incorporate mindfulness and listening to you intuition to enhance your decision-making skills?
Lots to think about! Keep an eye out for more about kincentric leadership as the model develops its framework and more is written about it.
