Change Makers Revolutionizing Tomorrow
Shaping a Bold Future for Global Impact by Shifting Your WOB
In today’s dynamic landscape, visionary leaders and changemakers find themselves navigating a complex tapestry of change — be it environmental shifts, political dynamics, or the pressing issues of social impact and humanitarian concerns. To truly lead in this era demands a distinct mindset, one marked by an openness to diverse perspectives and a profound understanding of oneself, firmly rooted in values, purpose, and meaning. As a leader facing these challenges head-on, what does it take to not only weather the storms but also to thrive?
It’s time for a fundamental shift in your Way of Being (WOB).
To guide you on this transformative journey, here are ten practices designed to infuse your life and leadership with meaning and purpose.
Embrace the Unknown:
Lean into the discomfort of uncertainty, for it is in this space that genuine creation flourishes.
Move to Proactive Creation:
Shift from reactive problem-solving to actively shaping the future based on what truly matters for your growth, the impact you seek, and the thriving of others.
Expand Your Network:
Broaden your circle of alliances and influence, recognizing that your perspective is limited to your horizon. Seek insights from those farther away to glimpse what lies beyond.
Redefine Diversity:
Move beyond checkbox diversity to view it as the interconnectedness of ideas and perspectives rooted in lived experiences.
Be Intentional About Your Development:
Challenge your beliefs and assumptions, actively seeking feedback from trusted advisors who have both your best interests and the competence to broaden your views.
Seek Mastery:
Find a mentor who surpasses your current level of mastery and allow them to illuminate new possibilities.
Cultivate Beginner’s Mind:
Regularly engage in activities that put you in a state of beginner’s mind, fostering a mindset of lifelong learning.
Elevate Your Leadership Team:
Understand that organizational development mirrors the growth of its leadership team. Invest in developing a team capable of meeting present and future challenges.
Learn to Self-Validate:
Resist the temptation to seek external affirmation. Base your self-worth on internal convictions to retain your power and stand firmly for your values.
Rediscover Your Essence:
Most importantly, take a deliberate step back to reconnect with who you are and what truly matters to you today. Reflect on your life, work, and legacy away from the disruptions and pressures of everyday life, ensuring an intentional exploration of your path forward.
Summary:
In essence, the journey of a visionary leader transcends the mere navigation of external challenges — it’s an internal odyssey, a deliberate shift in perspective, and a commitment to continuous growth. By embracing discomfort, proactively creating the future, and fostering diverse connections, leaders can forge a path that is not only resilient but transformative.
This transformative journey begins with personal development, focusing on challenging assumptions, seeking mastery through mentorship, and cultivating a mindset of continuous learning. Recognize the symbiotic relationship between organizational and leadership development as pivotal. Focus on the importance of building a team capable of navigating the complexities of today and anticipating those of tomorrow.
Furthermore, the call to resist external validation underscores the power of internal conviction, providing the foundation for unwavering self-worth and the ability to champion one’s values. The invitation to leaders is to embark on a crucial quest — to reconnect with their essence and reflect on what truly matters in both their personal and professional lives.
This is how to shift your WOB.
As you engage in this intentional exploration away from the noise of daily demands, remember: the power to shape a meaningful and purpose-driven future lies within. Your leadership journey, marked by self-discovery and conscious leadership, not only propels you forward but also ripples positive change throughout the realms you influence, leaving an indelible mark on the global challenges of our time.

“Alicia has guided me to cultivate and listen to my energy just by paying deep attention. She acts as a mirror that helps point you in the right direction, but you must still do the work. She won’t do it for you, and THAT IS UBER RARE in this world. It’s been a beautiful experience so far, and I am grateful to have her as a guide and mirror on my life journey. ” ~ Katy Y, Founder, VC and Impact Investor
