My specialisation and focus have always been in the development of Authentic Leadership Effectiveness skills, and over the years, this work guided my international professional and academic work.
My new work, entitled ‘New Beginnings’ has culminated from my own recent experiences over the last while. All that was before, changed as my life changed. At times the continual transition processes started to get the better of me, as I grappled with the changes and challenges. In all of this, I had to ask myself who am I actually in all of this.
Even once I started to get an excited sense of the way forward again, global climate change showed its disruptive might as my rural family home on the banks of the Kromme River in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, became endangered by the most devastating Kouga wildfires in January, and more recently again, the equally devastating storm winds and floods. This can have the ability both to burn us and uproot us, as these events literally did to nature and all the trees around me, leaving ash and mud all around us.
However, just like the Phoenix, it is important that we always rise from the ashes, resurrect, regenerate and rebirth ourselves to move on to the next chapter in our lives, as these might well be the best life chapters ever. This requires an intense awareness of who we are, resilience, adaptability and agility. My work, developed from my Doctoral research and my professional experience, lends itself perfectly to allowing us to grow stronger and our next life chapters more enjoyable than we could ever have envisaged.
We will kick off at the Kenton Wellness Festival in the Eastern Cape in South Africa, which runs from 3rd – 7th June, and thereafter we will take it further, one step at a time. For bookings, go to https://lnkd.in/dQAnSjpY
