Leadership

Before you can lead others, you have to know and understand yourself.

www.healingtheworkplaceculture.com

This book is about rebuilding relationships in the workplace by honoring the spirit in ourselves and in others, residing beneath our self-created identities, that battle and compete for power and validation. This shallow interpretation of ourselves, a shabby imitation we have come to believe is true, belies our incredible authentic power. One day, when fear can be replaced with trust and compassion for one another, there will be a shift in consciousness. People everywhere will be restored to their true identities, their inner spiritual greatness that was intended by the Creator. To that end, this book is dedicated.

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe.“ He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest--a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

-Albert Einstein www.healingtheworkplaceculture.co

believe will:

Ego’s Number One Strategy

Blame Someone Else.

www.healingtheworkplaceculture.com

The Big Misconception!

When you blame some one else, you give up your own power.

You are claiming you are a victim!

www.healingtheworkplaceculture.com

Righteous Victim The false claim of self-righteousness is a

veiled attempt to be superior to others.

Good vs. Evil

It undermines all communication and is actually an attack!

Who is the Enemy?

Whoever is a threat to you.

The Enemy is a Mirror

All battles are with the self.

The Fear is in You.

Ghosts can’t scare you if you are not afraid.

Identify the Hook in You!

That moment…Fight Flight

Source of the Problem in the Workplace?

The ego is afraid of being exposed!
