Want to be a better leader? Start by accepting that your mind alone can never come up with all the answers. Only then can the power of connectedness start to enrich you.

As ANE leaders we accept that we grow when we better connect with the essential core, the spiritual center, of ourselves and those we lead. So we work to develop a vital skill: Listening deeply to ourselves and others in a calm, confident, way that releases the greater ideas. It's joyful.

Ask someone: Do you leave our conversations satisfied that I really understand?

Connected means deciding: I choose to engage my essential core, my spiritual center in every moment. I am a leader who lifts and grows every relationship. I set aside my fears and ambitions, and trust the connection that has all I will ever need to succeed.
