The Iceberg We Are
Secrets to next-level leadership and realizing the authentic whole-self leader in you.
Unlocking Your Potential
You know what might shock you?
Most of us are operating well below our capabilities. That probably sounds harsh, but it’s true.
If we were to think of ourselves as an iceberg with just 10% of our whole selves visible above the surface of the water, we would be operating from and living entirely in that visible 10%.
Our vast untapped potential is just beneath the surface waiting to be discovered.
Most of us simply aren’t aware of the depths of our intuition, wisdom, and overall potential. And without awareness, those things can’t be accessed and realized fully.
And you can imagine the effect this has on one’s ability to lead.
The Problem with Operating at 10% as a Leader
Locked within the hidden 90% of the iceberg is the explanation for why people don’t do what they promised to do, why teams sabotage their own jointly-made decisions, and why organizations perform under par, despite all good efforts.
Going from 10% to 11%
Fortunately, once we become aware of the situation, we can adopt practices to help us unlock more of our potential and operate from greater depths.
If we’re operating at 10% of our potential, what does it take to unlock 1% more?
The simple truth --
“What got you here—
is not going to get you there.”
- Marshall Goldsmith
In other words, getting different results almost always means trying something new.
If your goal is next-level leadership, you’re going to need a new set of tools, that will work with your unique talents and abilities, so you can lead from your 11%
By making a deeper connection with the hidden layers of our humanness, our whole self, deeper insights on how to live and lead authentically emerge.
Becoming a mindful, authentic, whole self leader, in essence, is to allow the experience of deeper thinking and reflection to inform choices on how one wants to think, feel, and behave.
It allows the present moment to be an advisor to our propensity to make decisions based on past or future concerns or goals. It opens up new possibilities and opportunities to innovate and drive change, collaboratively.
The journey of going even 1% deeper into the iceberg within (which may take a lifetime), may yield 100% different results in the things that matter in life, and what a leader can feel proud to drive and manifest.
And in our 4-part series, The Journey to 1% More, we’ll be exploring how to unlock just 1% more of your potential. Stay tuned for next week’s topic: Next-Level Leadership through Body-Mind Integration
