This creates the biological conditions for higher-brain activation \u2014 the very capacities leaders rely on for discernment, creativity, strategic thinking, and wise action.<\/p>\n<p>In other words:<br \/>\nAn open, regulated heart is not soft leadership.

In high-trust, open, and respectful conversations, the body releases oxytocin, which supports connection, learning, and higher-order thinking. In defensive or transactional conversations, stress hormones like cortisol increase, narrowing perception and shutting down creative problem-solving. Bottomline, we are either opening people up or closing people down in our conversations.<\/p>\n<p>A decade ago, I was fortunate to be among the first cohort of coaches (top 250) certified in Judith Glaser\u2019s work, and I\u2019ve seen this play out repeatedly in leadership teams:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When leaders lead from tension or guardedness, conversations contract.<\/li>\n<li>When leaders lead from presence and openness, conversations expand.<\/li>\n<li>And when conversations expand, collective intelligence rises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is heart intelligence in action \u2014 not just within an individual leader, but across teams and cultures.<\/p>\n<h3>The Inner Board of Directors: Heart + Brain in Partnership<\/h3>\n<p>This is also why practices like the Inner Board of Directors matter. When a leader slows down enough to bring multiple internal perspectives into coherence (Strategist, Regulator, Ethicist, Innovator, Realist), the heart plays a critical role in regulating threat so the higher brain can come online.<\/p>\n<p>An open heart is not about being emotional.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s about being less hijacked by fear, often masquerading as anger, frustration and overwhelm, and more available to clarity, discernment and wisdom.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', sans-serif;\">The Deeper Shift<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a world moving faster and becoming more complex, leadership is no longer just about sharper thinking. It\u2019s about wider coherence \u2014 within the nervous system, across relationships, and inside decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>The heart is not an accessory to leadership.<\/p>\n<p>It is part of the operating system.<\/p>\n<h3>A Quiet Question to Carry<\/h3>\n<p>As you move through this season \u2014 often framed around love, connection, and the heart \u2014 you might pause and ask:<\/p>\n<p>Is my heart open enough to allow my highest intelligence online \u2014<\/p>\n<p>or am I leading from compression, protection, and speed?<\/p>\n<p>The answer doesn\u2019t just shape how you feel.<\/p>\n<p>It shapes how you lead.<\/p>\n<h3>An Invitation<\/h3>\n<p>If this resonates, it\u2019s because your system already recognizes what\u2019s needed next.<\/p>\n<p>My work with leaders focuses on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cultivating heart coherence under pressure<\/li>\n<li>strengthening higher-brain access in real time<\/li>\n<li>building inner architecture that supports clarity, trust, and wise action<\/li>\n<li>and integrating these capacities into leadership, culture, and conversation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This work unfolds through private coaching, leadership retreats, and deeper training in the Power Principles that govern coherence, rhythm, and aligned leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage isn\u2019t harder thinking.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s wiser integration.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading.<br \/>\n\ud83e\udd0d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s the Heart Got To Do with Leadership Valentine\u2019s Day tends to frame the heart as sentimental.
