"I Am Not a Leader" - She Told Me

confidence follow your heart leadership Sep 15, 2025

I had a session with a client, and when I told her that she is a leader, she responded, "I am not a leader." Or "I don't think of myself as a leader." 

Well ... 

This woman

- parents her kids differently

- asks questions, learns, educates herself, & makes intentional choices

- sets aside time for self-care and creativity

- communicates with her partner, listens, stays out of reactivity as much as possible, and finds the best solutions 

- does inner work and takes responsibility

- cares for her work, students, children, partner, friends, and sees to their development, betterment, and highest potential 

- listens to her intuition!

- and she doesn't do it alone. She finds support in various forms. 

Is she not a leader? 

She might be a quiet leader. The one that is not holding an official title. But definitely the one that makes a huge difference!!!

Don't underestimate yourself!

Maybe we have learned examples of leaders who are loud, pushy, insensitive, ego-driven, and disconnected from their purpose and mission on this planet. 

But true heart-centered leadership is different and, sometimes, invisible. It makes a huge impact on people's lives.  

Keep shining,
