What happens when a leader hits a personally tough period in their leadership journey?
A sense of tiredness?
A sense of ‘is this it?’
A sense of repetition?
A Sisyphus moment, where we get the ball near the top of the hill, only for it to roll down again?
A feeling or fear of breaking down?
A sense of ‘what happens now?’
A fear of loss of identity if I stopped doing what I’m doing?
There are big questions to ask and often no one to work them through with
So why are we really here on the planet? What is our unique contribution?
If leadership and all of the energy and ambition we’ve invested in it are not the ‘mountaintop’ of life, then why are we driving ourselves and others up against a glass ceiling?
What lies beyond leadership?
How do we create a different, wiser map of life?
How do we recognise the invitation to go beyond leadership through a tap on the shoulder?
How do we cross the threshold from leadership to eldership and legacy?
How do we renegotiate our-ego identity to something that fits our future potential?
How do we crystalise our experience into wisdom?
How do we own what we are really here to contribute – our true life purpose?
How do we seed a legacy?
How do we focus as much on who we are becoming, as what we are doing?
How do we offer eldering to our relationships, our work and our communities?
