Deep dives
The Power of Non-Anxious Conviction in Leadership
Leadership is about having a strong non-anxious belief that what you are doing is valuable even if it fails. This conviction stems from a spiritual grounding that comes after enduring suffering and healing, allowing one to face challenges with calmness and assurance.
Intergenerational Wisdom and Community Contributions
The wisdom and grounding provided by older members in the church, like Barbara, offer valuable contributions to the community. Their presence enriches the experience by blending perspectives and insights from different generations.
Navigating Envy through Engaging Repressed Centers
Addressing envy and feelings of lack can be approached by activating repressed centers, as highlighted in the Enneagram discussions. For example, for an Enneagram Four, engaging in more action-oriented activities can help counter feelings of envy.
Embracing Curiosity and Vulnerability in Leadership
Fostering a culture of curiosity and vulnerability in leadership enables deeper exploration and growth. Leaders who are willing to confront vulnerabilities and engage in curious conversations with others create a more inclusive and innovative environment.
The Transformative Power of Non-Anxious Presence
Cultivating a non-anxious presence is a transformative practice that stems from spiritual grounding and healing experiences. This presence allows individuals to navigate challenges with assurance, maintain resilience, and lead from a place of inner strength and conviction.
