Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline. ~ Jim Collins

A Masterful Leader is one who is dedicated to knowing him or herself. This person is willing to look within, examine their thoughts and feelings, act in integrity, risk being vulnerable, and take full responsibility for everything they think, say or do. They cultivate mutuality and respect, and see everyone they work with as equal to them.

Masterful Leadership can be found in the Boardroom, on a playing field, in a family business, in a classroom, or in your home. This kind of consciousness is a quality each of us can cultivate. It requires that we look within to see our inner greatness, and then look without to see that greatness reflected in everyone around us.

When you see a Masterful Leader in action, you will observe someone who genuinely likes herself and makes everyone in the room feel important. Here is the best part... a Masterful Leader is your reflection. What you see and admire in them is already in you! All you have to do is let go of your limitations, and become conscious of your own greatness. Now you may be saying, "That's easier said than done!" I say back to you, being masterful is just a decision that you have the power to make right now.   

When working with my clients, I find that accessing Masterful Leadership is as simple as teaching them to see that they already have all their answers inside. Our initial work focuses on uncovering whatever stands in the way of allowing their natural brilliance to surface. They learn simple yet powerful tools so they can practice mastery between sessions. In this dynamic collaboration what was seen as "impossible becomes possible"¹and their lives transform. 

It is my greatest hope that you tap into your own greatness and become a Masterful Leader in your life. Let me know if you have any questions about getting started.

• Before you send off an important email, pause, take a breath, and consider how it will be for the receiver to read it.

• Set an intention for a positive outcome for everyone involved before you begin your staff meeting.

• Make eye contact with a total stranger, and silently wish them happiness.

• Tell your mother in law that you love her, and then stop talking so it can sink in.

In this changing economy business leaders are being challenged to reduce costs. This sometimes requires cutting back on programs and staff.

Furthermore, research shows that executives who run addiction treatment facilities experience higher turnover rates than those in any other industry.²

Mounting pressure on any organization's team can increase the rate of:

• Stress
• Exhaustion
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability
• Decreased levels of work satisfaction
• Compassion Fatigue

And people are more likely to leave their jobs.

These half-hour stress reduction groups provide your staff with the tools and support they need to overcome these challenges, give themselves a much-needed break, and reinvigorate their passion and purpose.

If you are located in the Los Angeles area, Linda will travel to you. If you are outside the LA area, she will conduct the group as a teleconference!

For further information about this group, contact Linda directly.
