The Inner Work of Leadership

In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, leadership is no longer just about making bold decisions or driving business outcomes. The most impactful leaders are those who have cultivated self-awareness—a deep understanding of their inner world and how it influences their actions, relationships, and decisions.

Self-awareness is more than a buzzword; it’s the foundation for authentic and effective leadership. It allows you to see the bigger picture, lead with clarity, and build trust with your team and stakeholders. But achieving this level of introspection isn’t automatic. It requires intentional effort—inner work—to become aware of the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotions that shape your leadership.

How the mother wound shows up in business

In the realm of leadership and business, much attention has been given to external factors like strategy, innovation, and performance metrics. But beneath the surface, unseen emotional patterns often influence our decisions, relationships, and overall effectiveness. One of these deep-rooted patterns is the mother wound—an emotional imprint formed through our early relationship with our mother or maternal figures.

While the father wound often relates to achievement, discipline, and validation, the mother wound speaks to our capacity for connection, care, and self-worth. It shapes how we nurture ourselves and others, how we balance giving and receiving, and how we build relationships in both personal and professional contexts.

Known as the "father wound," this dynamic often stems from unresolved emotional issues or unmet needs experienced by key leaders.

A New Kind of Leadership: Embracing the Future of Leadership

In today’s fast-changing world, traditional models of leadership and masculinity are becoming obsolete. For decades, business ‘men’ were taught to lead with dominance, power, and control, believing that success is defined by wealth, status, and competitive advantage.


But with global challenges like environmental crises, social injustice, and mental health issues, this model of leadership is no longer sustainable. The future demands leadership that blends strength with empathy and compassion, vision with purpose, and masculine action with feminine intuition and creativity.

This evolution in leadership isn’t just about business success; it’s about shaping a future where humanity and the planet can thrive. To navigate this complexity, leaders must go beyond knowledge, cultivating personal adaptability and self-awareness to lead effectively in the NewNow.

The Need for a New Kind of Masculine Leadership

The old masculine leadership, which often relied on power, control, and the pursuit of wealth and status, is becoming redundant. These outdated models have left many leaders feeling empty, burnt out, and disconnected from their true purpose.

We need a new narrative that integrates core energies, honours relationships with all living beings, and creates a culture of service, compassion, and responsibility. This new form of leadership is less about ego and self-serving goals, and more about contributing to a greater good—shifting from a survive to a thrive mentality.
