How to recognise your superhuman brilliance
Anni talks to fellow Leadership Consultant, Natalie Shering, about the importance of helping others to be their best and why nature and adventure is a a major source of inspiration for her leadership approach.
Natalie begins by discussing how early childhood shaped who she is, her values and beliefs. In particular, she opens up about the experience of having been adopted as a baby with her identical twin sister - an opportunity for which she is forever grateful.
She reveals: "That massively shaped the lives that we have led and the person I've become. Principally, because of the opportunity that afforded me to live a life that could have been very different. And the value that underpins is one of wanting to give back continually. I believe if we live our lives in service to others, we live greater lives."
Natalie goes on to discuss how an early career in science and nursing provided the foundations for her leadership journey. She shares how her love of adventure, nature and the outdoors has further shaped her approach to 'creative leadership'.
"To be back in nature, to be back where we belong, I believe really helps me revitalise the physical energy and recognise how small we are in nature and how insignificant we can be but how significant can be,” comments Natalie.
Leadership in action
As fellow Leadership Consultants, Anni and Natalie talk about the principles of leadership and development and how other leaders can unlock their potential. They discuss:
- The importance of reflection and action
- Why feedback is crucial
- Why leaders must balance energy and passion with providing space for others
- Identifying the triggers that can take you from your best to your worst
- Making space for self care and self compassion
- Recognising and letting go of self-limiting beliefs
- The power of self belief and recognising your brilliance - and how encourage others to recognise their strenghts
As something that drives everything she does, Natalie encourages leaders to consider the opportunities they have to support others and give back by helping each other to "shine".
