In other words, using these practices to cover up problems seems like an easy way out, as opposed to working on the actual issues and etiology of the challenges.(Psychology Today) \u00a0When we don&#8217;t take the time to know ourselves, how can we possibly lead ourselves? In my Courageous Leadership Coaching &amp; Consulting Platform, we invite clients to consider this: Who are we leading and why are we leading and where do we truly want to go? As we consciously define our new authority, we achieve greater awareness that drives powerful outcomes because it elevates all.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.teresacolaneri.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/adobe-spark-post-1.jpg"}
