Once upon a time there was a lion that grew up in a flock of sheep. He had no consciousness that he was a lion.  He would bleat and eat grass like a sheep.  

“A leader is best when people barely know he exists when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.” — Lao Tzu

The Guru of all Guru’s in the field of EI, Daniel Goleman, Google Search Inside Yourself Institute and many other researchers proved that it’s EI that makes the difference between a truly effective leader and the rest. Intelligence (IQ) and technical skills are important for leaders too, and they are threshold capabilities. Being a leader, it is emotional intelligence that makes all the difference.

When I was 40 I knew two things.

I felt unfulfilled in my career, stretched between motherhood and managing a team.

I knew though that I would do anything to be happy in life.

In current times, being “connected” 24/7, high workload and stressful situations are at the order of the day. We are mainly externally focussed, busy with “doing” instead of “being”.

We are born as human beings, not human doers, just something to think about. What would happen if we do less of doing and more of being? I found power in slowing down to go fast!
