How Authentic Leadership Empowers Collective Change With Kelly Wendorf - Flying Lead Change
Welcome to episode 68 of the Nurtured by Nature podcast, today I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by Kelly Wendorf author of Flying Lead Change and the Founder and CEO of Equus.
We find ourselves at a time of interlocking crisis, not least a crisis of our own spirit, drawing us to desperately search for the sense of deeper connection and meaning that our soul’s are calling us towards, even whilst it feels we are seemingly drowning in a world that is descending into chaos.
Kelly and her book are a guiding light of infinite wisdom that offers us a simple path to nurturing the true qualities of leadership that will restore balance and bring us back into right relationship with the land and ancestors, allowing us to see a world beyond the constraints of our current Power Over paradigm.
Guided by the culture of the horse, one of the oldest most enduring and successful species on the planet, whose destiny has been entwined with our own for millennia, she offers us the lessons she has received from the herd and the generosity of Indigenous elders such as Uncle Bob Randle. With a compassionate approach she encourages us to lean into gentle self-enquiry to heal our trauma and shares how we can take the 7 principles of Listening, Care, Presence, Safety, Connection, Peace, Freedom and Joy to come home to the true essence of who we are. A collective change of heart that offers a place from which we are capable of empowering the social change we are craving to enact a radical shift in the dynamics of how we do things.
“Nature Misses Us” and it is time to lay down the chains of shame we have wrapped ourselves in and choose to be radically Authentic in how we lead ourselves & others to bring more love into the world.
