Standards of Presence
Standards are presence are the ways of being that I hold sacred when you are part of my leadership program. These principles are:
1. This work is about making conscious choices and being transparent.
2. Permission is critical in order to work together - for me and you.
3. The space we hold must be safe, clean and clear... assumptions, ego, sabateurs, and fears need to be named and neutralized.
4. A human is complex and beautiful in its wholeness: mind, body, spirit, emotions. This work focuses on the whole person.
5. The Co-Active (being and doing) model is the toolkit for transformation, dancing in the moment, witnessing the whole person, and you creative resourceful and whole... I hold you in the highest regard.
6. Impeccable leadership includes being impeccable with my word, not making assumptions, not taking things personally, and always doing my best. Thank you Don Miguel Ruiz and your Four Agreements!
7. I am committed to continuously growing myself. I help you rise, so you can shine.
8. I am committed to clean AIR - Accountability, Integrity and Responsibility.
