I have been creating mandalas for years.
Long before I became a coach, it was a mandala painting workshop that cracked something open and reconnected me with my purpose.
So it felt right that when I was exploring my personal brand story (with the talented Adele Hollywood | Brand Story + Messaging Guide ) and mapping out my approach and understanding of leadership, a mandala emerged ✨

The Leadership Mandala has four concentric layers. Each one builds on the one before it, with the work always starting at the centre — with you.

To learn more about how this framework can support your leadership development, see www.simoneparker.com.au/the-leadership-mandala or see the link in bio

A big thank you to Jill for her support with the design of this visual representation of the approach ✨🙌🏼

Last night, I was chatting with a friend who is celebrating two years in business.
Not only has she made it to the two-year mark, but her business is thriving!

She asked me about my goals, and I shared that one of mine is to reach that same milestone with rebuilding a thriving business in two years.

She smiled and said,
“I can refer you to the coach I’ve worked with over the years. I honestly don’t think I’d be where I am today without their support. They’ve helped me so much that I’ve signed up with them again as I looked at what got me to where I am and I wanted to have that same support.”

I thanked her for the recommendation and then we both burst out laughing.

The coach she was talking about was me.

And my friend is actually a long-term coaching client that I’ve had the absolute pleasure of partnering with for 40+ sessions.

In that moment last night, I felt incredibly grateful.
Not only because it’s so wonderful to have long-term clients who I can have a laugh mid-session with, but also because it was a lovely reminder of the impact I get to make in my client’s lives through supporting them to create thriving businesses.

Feedback is so important in leadership to understand the impact we’re making and whether we’re on the right track or need to pivot.
When we’re deep in the work and the business, moments like this are golden.

Who knew leadership inspiration could be found in some Panic! At the Disco… Apparently my brain did.

Whilst it’s definitely better to face leadership with a sense of poise and rationality, I would also add self-awareness to the mix, because it’s hard to respond calmly when you’re not aware of what’s behind your reaction.

If your leadership could do with a little more poise, rationality and awareness, I’d love for you to join me at my upcoming Mindful Leadership Masterclass.

We’ll expand on the themes from the song that inspired this post –
• Staying curious before jumping to conclusions
• Not fuelling gossip
• Addressing issues directly
• Separating facts from stories
• Responding, rather than reacting
And so much more to help you strengthen your leadership.

And my sincere apologies for getting this song stuck in your head… 🙈

A coaching client came to me burnt out and going in circles, losing himself inside a business he’d spent a decade building.
Over ten years, he’d built a thriving business on the back of his incredible talent, his reputation and the relentless effort he put in, but the load had become unsustainable and his health and relationships were being impacted.

He knew he couldn’t keep doing everything himself, though the idea of letting go of any part of his business felt too risky... until he reached out to me for support.

We worked together over 6 months, looking at his systems and structure on the surface whilst going deeper into his internal systems and his why for starting his business in the first place.

By the end of our work together, he had streamlined processes, support systems in place (including outsourced support), and more importantly, renewed energy and confidence.

My absolute favourite part was the joy that beamed from my client when he detailed the positive difference his partner had noticed in him; which is what I mean when I say this work ripples beyond the workplace!

If you’re a founder who recognises the beginning of my client’s story in your own, I’d love to have a conversation to see how I can support you.

Our next level of leadership growth often asks more of us mentally, emotionally and energetically than we expect.

As I was journaling this morning these words landed on the page, “there is nothing that is going to propel you forward faster than you expanding your own capacity to hold what it is that you desire to hold”.

This landed for me personally as it speaks directly to the season I’m in, but I know it will also land with many others through understanding what my clients experience.

With the shift back to holding my own business, off the back of a testing 2025 personally, I wanted to expand my capacity to hold all of the things –
the sole responsibility of my business again
setting strong foundations for this next level of my business
showing up as my best for my clients
the emotional and mental load of the highs and lows of business owner life, family of 5 life and just life in general, and
the uncertainty and excitement of upcoming changes for this year
(Which is exactly what drew me to enrol into the mantra meditation course that I am currently completing and absolutely loving!)

For my clients, this understanding of the importance of our internal capacity rings through the conversations we have around the patterns and cycles in their businesses and the patterns and cycles in their capacity / energy.
It’s amazing what happens when we connect the dots between the internal patterns and the external outcomes, which is what makes me so incredibly passionate about the mindful leadership approach.

If you desire to hold something more than what you’re currently holding, whether that’s more clients, more income, a new team member, a new opportunity or promotion, etc., working on understanding yourself and your capacity will not only ensure you’re clear on what that next thing is for yourself, but also that you are ready when it lands. Aka it will feel more joyful and sustainable!

Looking for the right space to do this work? I’d love for you to join my upcoming Mindful Leadership Masterclass https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/mindful-leadership-masterclass-tickets-1989885173119?aff=oddtdtcreator

Everything I do is rooted in a set of values that shape how I show up for myself and for the people I work and experience life with 🤎
These values have been shaped by experience, inner work and endless curiosity.

‘What’s a recent moment you felt totally in alignment?’, is a question Adele asked me recently, & my answer - designing & facilitating this masterclass ✨

This day brings together many of the tools and practices that I have been teaching / coaching either 1:1 or in groups for years to support leaders to build their capacity and step into their authentic leadership self - an area I’m hugely passionate about.

Mindful leadership improves cognitive flexibility, emotional regulation and decision-making, particularly in high-pressure environments. It also correlates with higher employee engagement and lower burnout across teams - hello ripple effect!

The ah-ha moments experienced in this masterclass lead to powerful shifts that will change the way you lead in all aspects of life.

If you’re open to stepping into a more grounded, confident version of yourself - a better communicator, decision-maker, space-holder, etc. - this day has been designed for you and I’d love for you to join me! Grab your ticket before the early bird runs out via the link in bio

I could write an essay with the life / business happenings that have brought about these reminders… but will save that for a book maybe 🤪

Very excited to be facilitating the post-conference workshop, Mindful Leadership Masterclass, for The Leadership Institute's Women in Leadership Summit for Perth next week.

A full day with aspiring and current female leaders supporting them to strengthen how they lead. We’ll be working from the inside out (my favourite!), exploring self-awareness and leadership presence, alongside practical tools they can take straight back into their roles / lives.

Looking forward to supporting a brilliant group of women to lead with more clarity, confidence and calm!
