Pivotal Moments. Aligning Your Values with Leadership Principles with Carissa Johnsen.

As humans, we naturally yearn for validation and a sense of significance. Yet, it is only when we step out of our way and from our own limitations and wholeheartedly embrace our authentic being that we can experience true fulfillment. However, this profound journey toward self-realization is often obstructed by various obstacles that impede our progress and prevent us from realizing our full human potential. These barriers can manifest in the form of past traumas, beliefs, and societal pressures. Nevertheless, by doing the inner work and getting into the depths of our true selves, we can open a world of endless possibilities before us.

Expanding your world and enhancing your leadership capacity is all about allowing yourself to simply live in the present moment without constantly striving for achievements or succumbing to societal pressures. The key to leadership is learning to embrace the beauty of the present moment and letting go of the burden of striving for accolades or meeting expectations that do not align with your values. By aligning your leadership roles with your personal values, you are cultivating authenticity and the freedom to pursue and manifest your deepest desires.

In this episode, Carissa Johnsen shares her journey, what it means to lead yourself and as a byproduct, have the privilege to lead others. You deserve the freedom to be who you are truly created to be. Carissa is a Life and Leadership Advisor, Shamanic Practitioner, Transformational Speaker, and Executive Producer.
