Soul-Inspired-Leadership

Robert Cialdini’s research has shown that consistency is one of the most important aspects people appreciate in relationships and communication.

It creates a safe environment for people to freely express themselves because they now work within safe parameters.

For leaders, this consistency needs to be developed by being in touch with oneself, increasing self-awareness and authenticity in expression and behaviours.

The challenge for leaders is in when in stressful situations, they often react based on subconscious beliefs about themselves, others and the world. An automatic response gets triggered which is often the complete opposite of the spectrum, so, for example, diplomacy will turn into a blunt outburst.

Completing a Harrison Psychometric test can clearly expose the imbalances.

Establishing consistency in behaviours depends very much on the ability of the leaders to lead from within. That is, connect with their soul to be true to themselves. Leaders of today need to bring back empathy and heart into their leadership. They need to be aware of their own strengths, limitations and internal world and be at ease by showing their real self in any aspect of their life. This authenticity builds the trust, reliability, and consistency in relationships with people.

We offer tools that will help coaches and Human Resource leaders develop their clients to be that authentic leader.

Our services and products, based on cutting-edge technology and quantum physics, help support a coach to achieve this with their clients faster.

Ross shares his experience with an executive who experienced difficulties at his workplace, especially lack of focus, a drop in efficiency and output. Visiting the office of that client made it apparent quite quickly that the cluttered environment had a direct impact on the client's ability to focus and have clarity.

Of course, there are those who insist that they do know where that particular document is on their desk that you’re asking for or that having a disorganized workplace is a sign of flexibility.

We underestimate how significant clutter is a source of stress in our lives, at work or home. It can cause anxiety, procrastination, frustration, agitation amongst many other feelings.

A cluttered workplace offers too many stimuli for the mind. Having to search your way through staples of documents to find what you are looking for may cause anxiety to raise, and it may lead to that stressful impression that there is a never-ending amount of work to tackle.

Other disadvantages of living or working in a cluttered space are the distraction from focusing on what is essential, no space for creativity to arise from within, and a rise in stress hormone-cluttered

Clutter isn't only a challenge when it comes to a physical space being unorganized; it can equally create trouble in the mind.

Trying to keep one's schedule in mind, a never-ending to-do list in the head, being continuously notified by incoming emails and text messages, our brain is facing an enormous overload of information every single day. Brain pollution diminishes our ability to discern which information is relevant and which one isn't, keeping our brain and ourselves under constant stress.

Multi-tasking is becoming the modus operandi in our time; unfortunately, focusing on several unrelated strands of thought at the same time reduces the ability to focus and prioritize.

What could help?

Switch off notifications; there is usually no need to be notified whenever someone posts on FB, you get a WhatsApp or your opponent makes a move in one of your online games.

Keep your focus on one task at a time; research has shown despite our best efforts our mind works best when we focus on one task only.

Clean up your desk before you head off home. It helps to start the next day with an empty desk, not necessarily with an empty mind.

If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”

Laurence J. Peter, Canadian, scholar of education

On various occasions in the last podcasts, we often described how we could gain knowledge on the correlations of behaviours and deep-rooted beliefs. You may have noticed that we are confident that we can help coaches to make their work more robust by using Information Field Technology.

What is Information Field Technology?

Many cultures based their whole philosophy on the understanding that every thought, every event, every memory gets stored as a vibrational information in a non-physical space. This idea by now finally gains acceptance by modern scientists, quantum physicists, and philosophers.

The German physicist Burkhard Heim developed the idea of a 12-dimensional concept of the universe, in which all mental and physical processes come together in a field, stored as information patterns. He coined this the information field.

Markus Schmieke, German, chess player, musician, physicist, studied Indian philosophy and wanted to create a device that enables us to read and write in the information field, to highlight subconscious connections and harmonize these to increase mental, emotional and physical wellness.

The information field contains the vibrational patterns of thoughts, emotions, events, substances, and living organisms. TimeWaver technology can read these vibrational information patterns and thus can present a holistic understanding of a person.

There are ten levels we can gain information from to gain a deeper understanding of our client. The ones coaches will focus on are the spiritual, systemic, psychological and informational level.

On the systemic level, we have databases addressing imbalances related to prenatal aspects and family constellation. The psychological level has about 12 000 entries covering information patterns concerning resolving blocking convictions, such as "Criticism from others means that I am not perfect," or "I always have to be there for others." Other entries on this level focus on freeing and transformative affirmations, new directions, and resolutions, such as "I am willing to take the necessary risks to change."

Furthermore, we can search for root causes in a variety of other databases all related to psychology. If needed, also under physiological or environmental databases, to gain valuable information on possible additional areas the client needs support with. The overall aim is to see the client as a whole.

With a given objective, TimeWaver compares the client's information field with the chosen databases and offers a list of vibrational patterns first as possible blocks and then suggests solutions to harmonize these blocks.

To support coaches in their work with clients, we offer balancing cards with specific leadership vibrations as well as the option to individualize a card for a particular client to help with specific individual challenges. Our services help coaches to become more successful, increase customer satisfaction and therefore get more referrals. And employees are happier too as they have better leaders.

We aim to create a community that offers the space for members to connect on a much deeper level with other like-minded coaches, establish a collaborative support system to explore ourselves, our visions, our relationship with clients besides learning new skills, be exposed to new ideas and share each other’s expertise.

And if that leads to collaboration with each other, unexpected new avenues of reaching out to others and sharing our talents and ideas, perfect.

Antoinette recently participated in the Ignite Video Challenge, partly to expand her comfort zone and somewhat to learn how to create videos for SIL and her work.

She says: "I got so much more out of participating in that challenge. What I didn't expect at all was how much this community would grow via video, and how much support can be there even though we live in different parts of the world. Some of us came from Asia, some from Europe, some from Australia, the US and yet we were all connected and supportive of each other. The richness of input, the inspiration and invitation to think differently was impressive.”

This experience was the final straw to decide the direction of the Coaching Community to be something equally explorative, enriching and supportive.

Ross will draw on his experiences over many years in the corporate world and over 16 years as an executive coach working with C-suite executives in Fortune 500 companies to smaller SMEs to facilitate the Soul- Inspired-Leadership forum.

Antoinette will offer perspectives, insights, and tips from a holistic health practitioner’s point of view, based on over a decade of experience in a variety of different holistic therapy approaches.

Both aim to create a forum to help coaches gain a more productive and more profound perspective of their clients and therefore be more successful in coaching them. They do encourage members to share their own life experience, insights, and skills with the community so we can learn from each other and grow together.

WHY we want to create this community

First of all, both of us feel that one can become a bit of a loner in the coaching profession. Working with clients is one thing, having the opportunity for support and exchange with like-minded professionals is something else.

And since we want to reach out globally a center here in Singapore just won't do. Therefore, our desire is to create that global community of coaches who aim to help their clients become better leaders.

An effective, clear and concise communication is essential in life, whether it is in relationships at home, the workplace, interactions during travels, day to day activities.

Communication is more than just the spoken word, it also includes nonverbal communication, such as eye contact, body language, also the vibes that you transmit, the message you get across in a variety of different ways without saying anything.

In this podcast, we focus on the polarity between blunt or direct and diplomatic communication.

The base of any communication ideally is respect for the other person and a healthy level of curiosity about other perspectives.

A respectful and direct style of communication creates a trustful and understanding foundation for communication, an essential skill wherever you are, irrespective of your position.

A direct style of communication can easily turn into bluntness, especially when we experience a lack of energy when we are angry, under pressure or feel our boundaries are threatened. Bluntness will result in disengagement, defiance, and resentment in the workforce. It creates constant tension, blocks risk taking and is one of the reasons for reduced productivity and a higher turn-over rate.

Therefore, a good EQ level and self-awareness help in self-management and evaluation.

A few suggestions on how to reduce bluntness in communication:

1. Bluntness is charged with emotions and destructive, clear communication is measured and encourages a resolution. A reflective question could be, “What has been the trigger for me to reacting so bluntly?”
2. We all have our own projections, thoughts, opinions, fears, and concerns that we bring into a conversation. Most of us are more focused on how the other person makes us feel when engaging in a conversation. Spend time on establishing a good rapport before focusing on the information that needs to be communicated.
3. This rapport starts already before we speak the first words. Self-awareness is the key, especially when it comes to sensing into the space we are in. Are we calm, or already irritated before we start the conversation? In case of the latter, body posture, the face, the vibes will tell more than any words we speak. Use some breathing techniques or practice some mudras to calm yourself before stepping into a conversation.
4. Achieving results is what leaders are paid for. In the German language, there is a saying that is literally and figuratively translated as falling with the door into the house. Coming straight to the point without taking the time to feel and sense into your counterpart will very likely close the door before you can even open it.

Continuous bluntness reduces chances to move up the leadership ladder. If this is what you are struggling with, it is worth examining what the unconscious triggers are and how to resolve them.

One of the most deeply rooted feelings which can cause volatile leadership behavior is the feeling of insecurity. We all feel insecure from time to time, and leaders aren’t excluded. Insecurity may express itself in the need to take on more projects, or accumulate more and more titles, or by verbally lashing out.

Executive coaches see this volatile and inconsistent behaviour in executives quite often as they are given the task of helping executive be more consistent and balanced in their approach to their leadership

When referencing Dan Harrison, of Harrison Assessments Int’l Ltd, who bases his focus on paradox theory. That is, a trait can be constructive or destructive depending on other complimentary traits and how balanced one is in these behaviours. It provides more clarity on the insecurity issue.

For example, self-criticism is often linked to the strong need to ‘better oneself.’ The complimentary trait is self-acceptance, that is, one is okay with who they are. Both traits are important, and having them reasonably balanced in strength allows the executive to be flexible, and by using both traits, giving them more balance in the way they react and behave.

So, what causes the imbalance?

Insecurity is deeply rooted, and most likely stems from a time in childhood hearing over and over that they can’t do something, or weren’t good enough, being compared to either siblings or friends, or having been singled out in class repeatedly by a teacher.

This internal belief about not being good enough, or worse being a failure, has established its own destructive dynamic over the years by attracting a variety of different experiences into their life which deeply informed their understanding of who they were.

Insecurity often causes people to become defensive about their actions or opinions, leading very often to aggressive behavior.

On the other end of the scale one finds an overly arrogant behavior, which is a defense mechanism as well.

In the coaching relationship, we would aim at finding the root cause of the client’s insecurity. And even in this process of finding the root cause, clients may become defensive.

Skillful questions, the exploration of memories and the invitation for self-reflection are helpful tools to allow the client to open up to answers from the subconscious.

Once the source of the insecurity has been brought to the client’s awareness it is easy to develop the right strategies together with the client to overcome it.

Rather than being caught up in a defeating pattern of self-depreciation, without insecurity, the client’s ability to assess their strengths and weaknesses objectively increases.

Soul-Inspired-Leadership has developed services that can help to create this desired change.

Volatile behaviors are often considered a stumbling block for great leadership. Where do they come from and what is the cause for it?

The consequences of past events, circumstances and behaviors influence the actions and beliefs a person creates about themselves, others and the world at that moment. These are then the reference for future behaviors and perspectives.

These imprints can be deep rooted or rather on the surface, still in the awareness of the person, for example as a consequence from an experience at the workplace. It could be a colleague or former boss that provided the experience. Still fresh in memory, it is easier to identify as a cause and, whilst challenging, it can be overcome in a reasonable time.

The deep rooted behaviours generally happen in the early part of a person’s life. The influence can come from a child's parents, siblings, teachers or someone else of strong influence. Because it happens early in life it embeds within the child's subconscious and on a cellular level. It creates a dynamic of its own in how the child perceives him or herself, the quality of beliefs, and it remains an influence of their future behaviour.

For coaches, uncovering the deep-rooted cause can be a challenge because quite often the client doesn’t even know what causing it or they just don’t want to share because it can be so personal.

Only when these unconscious triggers are brought to awareness and resolved long lasting change can be achieved.

Soul-Inspired-Leadership has developed three services that can help to create that desired change.

1. The Soul-Inspired-Leadership  Balancing Card helps to balance the vibrational patterns that cause leadership behaviours to be volatile. In effect, it’s a one size fits all, as it focuses on balancing all the leadership traits.

According to scientists an information field is a space where all mental and physical processes are stored as information patterns.

Everything we think, feel, all our beliefs, emotional needs, experiences are stored as vibration in this field and is accessible.

Carl Jung recognized that the individual unconsciousness is in communication with what he calls the collective unconscious, a kind of global information field. Burkhardt Heim, a German Physicist, formulated a uniform field theory, which was relevant for the creation of the TimeWaver Technology.

TimeWaver technology creates the quantum physics interface to connect matter and consciousness which allows us to find the core issues quickly.

It helps to detect correlations and connections between the physical, mental and emotional levels that are not congruent and present a blockage towards health, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Not only does this state of the art technology discover underlying root causes and correlations, it also enables the coach to “write” in the information field. It offers us the possibility to neutralize unhelpful information patterns in the information field of the client and vibrate beneficial information patterns to support the client in overcoming these blocks.

A good example of this can be seen manifesting in executives in leadership positions. To be a truly authentic leader, being emotionally and mentally balanced is the key ingredient. Being true to oneself results in the consistency people look for in great leaders. When executives are faced with stressful situations, behaviors can become volatile and particular patterns surface.

We know that behaviors are influenced by the consequences of previous behaviors or experiences.

In discussions with clients some of these consequences are brought to the surface; they can be the result from previous work experiences or deeply rooted in childhood and therefore much harder to uncover and find a solution for in an acceptable timeframe.

Some coaches are highly intuitive and see it more readily but a lot aren’t. And therefore, the coaching may reach the necessary depth only many sessions later or not at all.

Making the unconscious visible is important in various aspects.

Once we are aware of the underlying root cause, transformation and change in consciousness, perception and action can happen quickly. The same applies to physical ailments – generally they are the result of emotional and mental blockages. Most of us aren’t aware of these connections and therefore do not work on those levels to return to health and wellbeing. Allowing ourselves to uncover and transform these connections, disease either won’t manifest or healing happens much faster.

Up until now coaches were expected to bring these issues to the surface. This takes time, particularly where the issues are deeply embedded. Unfortunately, we don’t always have that time to do what we know we should be doing to really help the person. 

Soul-Inspired-leadership has the services that give that time. Come with us on this journey in helping leaders to connect with their soul and please join our community. 

Soul-Inspired-Leadership is borne out of the mutual desire of Ross and Antoinette to bring something essential back into leadership – soul.

In today's business world, being an authentic and a well-balanced leader is a well-intended goal. In reality, most leaders struggle to manage this. In order to be truly authentic, they need to connect with their soul, their inner truth and then lead from there.

To be truly authentic leaders, it requires that desire to really explore and know oneself. It then demands good degree of self-awareness, the courage to be vulnerable and compassionate, and the ability to make decisions based on your inner truth.

The poor employee engagement figures we see today is a direct result of poor leadership which is often caused by the lack of authenticity. The more authentic leaders we have out there the more we will have people enjoying and feeling connected at work.

Through our podcast episodes and our products and services design specifically to help our community of coaches we will help people become truly authentic leaders.

How coaches can support their clients on this journey is the focus of our work and our podcast.

Our combined knowledge and experience, combined with cutting edge technology, will offer our community members an invaluable advantage in the coaching world.

We provide the missing links in improving the standard of leadership and developing better leaders.

Our podcast is focused on sharing new ideas, perspectives, tools and services based on cutting edge information field technology to provide an extra dimension to the professional services of coaches.

Joining us on this journey you will see that you are not alone in your endeavors and you will grow to understand how quantum physics and information field technology can best help you succeed.
