Discovering Self, Leadership and Service

I've had the great good fortune to discover who I am and what I love doing. My sense of self, of who I am, and what's possible has transformed. I love seeing more of who people are, and their potential. Transformation comes from uncovering the wonder of who we really are, and fully expressing our potential.

Finding and shifting towards a sense of purpose, progressing towards a capacity for authentic leadership may not be a simple linear activity. The latest top 5 or top 10 “must haves” for success simply don’t capture the dynamic, psychological, and often conflicting experiences that many people work through. My own experience, and what I've witnessed in many clients, is more complex, more multi-dimensional.

In the attached paper I set out a framework of what I’ve seen many times, suggesting some of the key development areas to consider, and some of the major challenges, that if addressed will lead to realised potential.

I offer elements of a map – not a set of directions, but a survey of orientation and navigation points, examples of what I and others have found important. These could illuminate the territory you may find yourself in, allowing you to navigate your own path, to uncover your own answers, to be the expert in your own life.

I hope this is useful to you in understanding some of the difficulties and obstacles you might be facing, in overcoming your own hindrances, and in guiding you towards the resources you want to focus on.
