Catalyst For Leaders

Vital Leaders right now?

Perhaps you are a vital leader everyday. But unfortunately, most of us regularly make sub-optimal choices for ourselves.💔. We are humans, after all.

We create “Clear Horizons*” by making wise choices & taking risks that bring us results that get the horizon into our experiences “Now”.

Our thoughts and feelings can incorrectly associate “fear” with a particular context, such as a move into a business, a new career, or a change in our relationship or health. Our environment, other people and situations are neutral contexts. When we are fearful, we are less likely to make a choice that feels risky.

That “risky” decision could create a new horizon and results for the rest of our lives. We can learn to have courage even when decisions feel “risky” to us but are low risk and can create innovation in our lifetimes. 👀

Similarly, for tasks and choices that feel “boring” and do not stimulate us, There is no instant pleasure involved (our brains love the dopamine from instant satisfaction like over-indulging in chocolate, alcohol, etc.). But, on the other hand, those small decisions can be the wisest ones we make for a long and healthy life.

So what do we want from our decisions? Belonging and love are what we seek to recognise our success and our Vitality. 💞 We wish to create a legacy impacting how we love and lead others.

Vital Leaders Succeed

We work hard to be vital business leaders and create change for better results and a strong business and team.

We operate in the Super VUCA* world and can get mired in complexity and lose our certainty of getting business results through simple clarity. Sometimes we need to think in a counterintuitive way to get new results in new ways.

The world around us works in interlinked systems that interact in ways we find complex to understand. It can be a little scary (overwhelming) when our decisions seem complicated. It seems so hard when we want to go fast and get our results.

We can learn to use our internal Wisdom to get new results in our current context rather than stop looking outside ourselves for solutions. We are given our bodies in this world to get to our destination, and they are fit for purpose in today’s world. They can be used as the most effective and simple tools.

What is Wisdom?

We are “complete” humans …. we have brains, guts, nervous systems, hearts, bodies, facia etc. Each element works together as a whole. Over thousands of years, we have already evolved with internal superpowers. We can use our bodies to apply every type of Wisdom available to optimise any situation.

In the later part of our evolution as humans, we have prioritised the brain as the only way to solve all problems and get everything we want.

We can let our survival fears overrule our more evolved logical brain and body wisdom. However, it’s about our level of Vitality internally to be calm in our decisions and adjust our behaviour.

Science and the information age have broken everything into parts. We created specialisation for scientists, mental health practitioners, organs, research, technology and more and made much more information for our brains. We have learnt to seek more significant amounts of information outside of ourselves. Then, when we hit challenging decisions, we can feel lost when it’s too scary or boring to act the way we want to perform.

Vital Leader’s wise traits

Sometimes dealing with a current challenge or one that recurs from our past requires us to take some time to slow down and reflect on what is going on. Then, to use all of our vital leadership traits and Wisdom.

A Cycle of Wisdom

We can take a step back to understand the complete cycle of our Wisdom. Then, we work through a process of Resetting our Thinking, Feelings, Action and Impact in our Context:

We teach our Explorers (clients) how to self-lead by taking the context of a situation and examining the thoughts (micro-stories) which have them feeling and then acting or not acting in alignment. Any microstory may have a resulting impact which they don’t want. So we teach them to reset any context to create a new option for their micro story, which creates feelings and hence action with the impact they want.

Changing the cycle of our Wisdom

We need NEW thinking, feelings, and actions for the NEW  Impact. We want to create a clear horizon NOW for ourselves at work, home, and play.

That’s the cycle of getting results using our inner Wisdom. We don’t need to change other people or our current situation to feel great. Instead, we learn who we want to be and why we are heading there, creating a greater connection with others.

Feelings are critical, and we can use the complete Wisdom of our bodies, not just our thinking to optimise our results.

Vital Leaders and Clear Horizons

We can optimise and achieve a natural state of feeling vital as a Leader through clear horizons. We can maximise our brains and synchronise our internal Wisdom and that of others around us,

In every Catalyst experience, we work with business leaders to connect, create and rise to a clear horizon for themselves. But, it’s more than a mindset; it’s “Vitality” for impacting lives around us.

Our internal Wisdom and Vitality matter. We want to have an Impact.

Impactful Horizons.

We want to leave an impression or legacy behind us as a leader and someone else’s loved one. However, how we create the most significant impact requires mindfully course-correcting. To be fully self-leading at even the worst moment.
Our old thinking focuses on the things we are not doing, how we could be better, and what we need to do next. When we have depleted ourselves, the success we have created isn’t fulfilling our desires. We want more meaningful lives and impact…. we can feel we are not fulfilling our potential.
We can’t enjoy the most significant impact if we don’t take our Vitality to create success seriously. When we are vital, we achieve extraordinary things. We can take on the most significant challenges. This is because we are creative, make excellent choices and are willing to take risks and get new results from new thinking.

Creating Impact

Vitality everyday is what we practice at the WaVE. Our Clients learn how to feel everything and create a more meaningful life as vital leaders, with loved ones and for themselves.

This Vital self-leading is where brilliant decisions are Clear Horizons for ourselves and those whose lives interact with ours.

*Clear horizons clarify who we are and why we act for our teams and loved ones.
