Heal Yourself First, Then Lead

from Corporate Unplugged

What if the most important leadership training is the work of healing yourself? In this episode of Corporate Unplugged, Vesna Lucca speaks with Nilima Bhat, co-author with Raj Sisodia of Healing Leaders* and Shakti Leadership, about the inner work that leadership asks of us. Nilima walks through the seven steps at the heart of the book: know yourself, love yourself, be yourself, choose yourself, express yourself, complete yourself and heal yourself. She explains why the steps sit inside each other like a telescope, and why healing is a spiral that takes us deeper each time. She shares how a lifetime of family health crises taught her to find meaning in suffering, and why she now believes we can also grow from joy. She also offers leaders her 51/49 rule, explains why the world needs to remember the lost feminine, and describes the projects calling her in Pondicherry, Rishikesh and Kashmir. On today's podcast: - How unhealed wounds leak out as toxic leadership. - What the seven steps from Healing Leaders ask of a leader. - Why becoming psychologically whole makes leaders more flexible. - How the 51/49 rule puts inner work before impact. - Why the world needs to remember the lost feminine.
