Spirituality for leaders

Robert Hanna is a recruiter specialised in legal careers who also happens to host the top legal podcast in the UK, Legally Speaking Podcast . I have invited him on the podcast because purpose can make such a huge difference in resilience but also outlook in leadership and I thought this would be incredibly valuable for my listeners. I was not disappointed. Before I met Robert, I honestly never tho...

Journalling has been identified as one of the four top practices to help leaders be more strategic. Writing your thoughts, beliefs and emotions enables us to explore the depth of our human experience. It helps you understand what drives your reactions. Checking on one's intention and scrutinising them to enable us to act for the highest good. All these are particularly important when we are in lea...

The traditional business plan as is taught in Business Schools is not relevant to small entrepreneurs and solopreneurs because for the most part it is designed for investors and is an overkill. This leaves a gap where entrepreneurs can fall where they have no plan and just either follow the money or allow clients to guide where their businesses go.  It also means that these entrepreneurs are const...

Most of us can get by in life without facing what I call CEO decisions. At one point, though, some of us will. What is a CEO decision? It's a decision that affects not just us but others that are either in our care or that we love. These decisions feel much more important. They have such consequences that I believe we need a better decision making process that helps us get it right. In this episod...

Emma's leadership journey started in her teens where she was put in positions to lead in various activities she took part such as brownies and later student representative. Then she went to work as a lecturer and had to rewrite the curriculum in the Health Science Department. This was the first time she experienced burnout. She felt she was under constant scrutiny by her peers but also her student...

As entrepreneurs and leaders, we are often pressed for time. In this episode, I share with you three things you can do to create more time for yourself. My invitation is to be very intentional with the extra time you create so that it is used for your growth and wellbeing rather than just adding more things to do. Before we dive into these three things, it is incredibly important that we challenge...

The traditional image of leadership is of a person who speaks up, makes decisions and doesn't seek approval. All these traits are important but in my view the most important of all is listening. Better than that even, it's active listening. So in this episode we explore what it looks like, tips on how to be a better listener and the benefits of active listening. I also explore how active listening...

Today we are exploring an internal shift that is essential for all leaders and that is the shift from blame to taking ownership of how we react to situations. This doesn't mean that we repress our feelings around a certain situation or event. What it does mean, however, is that we shift from asking "Why is this happening to me?" to "What can I learn from this?" It is important to acknowledge our f...

As a leader it is easy to find yourself in a position where you are under pressure to cave in to opposing interests. I recently watched the Post with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks which illustrates it beautifully. On the one hand you have Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep who want to do the right thing. On the other hand you have the investors and the banks and even the Justice Department, who want you to d...

As a leader, knowing who to trust is paramount. My Spirituality for Leaders podcast is here to help you understand spiritual tools that can support you on your leadership journey and today we are going to talk about intuition. Perhaps you already trust your intuition. Maybe you don't. Maybe you would like to be able to trust in all the time - if that's the case, the best way to do this is probably...

The energy you bring to a room is vital to the outcome. The reason for this is your energy matters and it links in to the energy field we have around us that influence other people and situations. You have probably experienced people who light up a room when they walk in.  When your energy is off, you are more likely to experience difficult people, people overlooking you, people not paying attenti...

In this week's episode we explore how the concept of ego can help leaders who are highly competitive. I start with my own fear about how competitive I am and how it has stopped me from taking part in competitions until I reached sixty. Spiritual circles frown upon competitiveness as it is associated with the ego. But you can be both competitive and spiritual and spirituality has tools to help keep...

Wani is the first guest in the new format of the podcast and before we dig into the content of the episode, I wanted to give the behind the scenes of how she came to be a guest. On Friday the 20th of March, I decided to cancel all my future guests on the podcast. I was booked until November 2026. It was a bold move. Once I had messaged the potential guests, I wondered who I could interview for Mar...

Have you ever had that moment… where someone pops into your mind out of nowhere—and then, almost instantly, they message you? Or you dream something so specific it feels impossible to ignore… and then it happens? If you're someone who prides yourself on being logical, rational, scientifically minded… you've probably dismissed those moments. Coincidence. Pattern-seeking. Noise. Until they happen ag...

I specialise in Business akashic records which are the records of the soul of a business. i was shown about ten years ago that every business has a soul independent of its founder and they have a soul contract. The founder or founders agree to bring the business to life, and the business chooses the founders for the characteristics that they bring to the business. It starts as a perfect match, alt...

With the world going to hell in a hand basket right now, with incredibly rich and powerful people being listed in the Epstein files whilst other leaders are playing battleship in the Middle East, we need conscious leaders more than ever. In this episode I define the three quality that I believe conscious leaders have: They are here to serve They value democracy They want what is for the highest go...

My guest his month is Australian based Nyx Vera. She was kind enough to share her personal experience with Druidry. We think of druids as these ancient sages with long beards and personally, I was heavily influenced by my childhood comic Asterix, to the point where I took for granted the idea that druids had always existed in Europe and that they were somehow connected to my ancestors, as a French...

Is money good or bad? In this episode, I explore what we attach to money and what we make it into. I have an interesting background because on my dad's side they came from money whereas on my mum's side they were working class. This has given me a rich tapestry to observe people's beliefs and attitudes towards money. Perhaps this has led to me seeing that money in itself is neutral. How people see...

The energy of your home can affect you in profound ways. There are two reasons. First your home has an energy of its own. But second, you leave an energetic footprint to your home through your emotions and your thoughts, which, if not cleaned regularly, can build up thought forms and energetic clouds. Once the energy become strong enough, it then becomes harder to get rid of it. In the episode, I...

Due to the release of the Epstein Files, I have been asked to do an episode on how to protect ourselves from what I would like to refer to as Energetic Black Holes, which represent the darkest side of humanity. Up until now, I have been talking about several different energy vortices: EP 115 The energy of the news and politics EP 122 The energy of flags (UK) EP 123 The energy of war and peace EP 1...

Our guest this month is Hay house published author, artist and spiritual teacher, Helen Plehn, who has trained in an impressive number of spiritual modalities. Her book called Aura Colour Wheel presents a radical system of looking at the aura and the chakra system in the light of our soul path, lessons and wounds. We started the discussion by talking about Feng Shui as I wanted to honour Helen's C...

Songs can carry a mix of energies and because we listen to them in a state of semi-hypnosis the lyrics and that mixed energy can unduly influence us in our beliefs. In order to demonstrate this, I went through what are considered to be the top 10 most popular songs in the UK and I deconstructed them to prove my point. All of Me - John Legend I Will Always Love You - Whitney Huston The Power of Lov...

On the 3rd of January, Trump launched military strikes on Venezuela and captured President Maduro and his wife in violation of the UN charter and Venezuela's sovereignty. I believe this vastly increased the chances of WW3. For the first time, I went to bed wondering in what state I would find the world when I woke up the next day? Why? Because up to now, for all its faults, the USA was considered...
