It Can Be Lonely đź’š

“It can be lonely at the top.” More often than not, it is not said (for many reasons.)  It may not even be verbalized in the mind as such, but something just feels like contracting, longing, sad on the inside. (Very often in the chest area.)

In the midst of responsibilities, pressure, finding solutions, making decisions, having conversations, setting goals, this feeling, like many others, gets pushed down and dismissed.

“It’s a part of being a leader. Are you ready for it?” Some years ago, I read this in an article about becoming a leader.

It doesn’t have to be this way. It shouldn't be this way. Here is why.

Any feeling that is pushed down, is left unseen and unattended will not go away on its own. Moreover, it can have ripple effects on other parts in our inner system, other feelings and thoughts, creating more inner disbalance and discord.

Sooner or later it will impact how we respond, react, make decisions, communicate, and navigate challenges. Ultimately, it will impact results and outcomes.

Feeling lonely being at the helm of a ship is not just a feeling.

It is a golden nugget surfacing to show that some parts of you are compromised and need attention, need healing, so you can feel your amazing Self regardless of the environment you are in.

The external environment of pressure, needing to perform, show up strong as a leader, competition, interpersonal dynamics at the top, powerplay are among the reasons for not speaking openly about feeling lonely (and btw, you don't have to say it openly.)

These are also the reasons for feeling lonely in the first place, surfacing to to show that there are parts of you that are not in harmony, that self-doubt.

Clearing the underlying causes for feeling lonely, will change your presence, your leadership charisma, your unshakable emotional and mental strength.

That’s what leading as the amazing YOU while feeling whole and happy regardless of the external dynamics is all about.

P.S. If this speaks to you and you would like to bring your inner system into balance and wholeness, free from the accumulated emotional weight of being a leader, so you can lead and inspire as the amazing YOU while feeling whole and happy, reach out team@edelweiss.academy.

…just really want to say thank you for today! It really was great! Really appreciate your calming demeanor and I think everyone responded well and I loved the participation!  27 people in this meeting, but the reach will be felt much further than the group today!  Thank you again!

"Everyone loved it."

Lisa Jacobi, Chief of HR at COCC

We had the opportunity for Anna to come out for a few team sessions at COCC. Most recently, she ran a mindfulness session for our entire HR team. It was a fantastic exercise for the team to break away from the day-to-day and go through a session together. Personally, I think it was great that we did it on a Friday afternoon together to start the weekend with a clear mind! The small group breakout sessions were great too. Definitely a different approach to mindfulness with plants!

The best training I've ever taken.

Empowering ourselves to grow with "self-coaching" techniques in today's climate of multiple changes is one description of Anna's 5-step "The Flow To Transformation" system. I have participated in her class in different settings and always walked away stronger in my ability to tap into my inner power and to make better decisions from a place of calm and inspiration. Anna's background in psychology and business finance helped develop this approach that's been used for years with both individuals and organizational teams.

" For years, I have had others tell me, “what you focus on is delivered.” I believed them, just not wholeheartedly, until I met Anna. Since I started working Anna, I have never felt better.

The incredible transformation of feeling into pain, and coming out of it with clarity, has been life changing for me. She gives you tools and guidance to help strengthen your core, and resolve your inner turmoil; which, in turn, helps you navigate your life in a more peaceful, harmonious way; while achieving results you never thought possible.

I can’t recommend Anna’s work highly enough, she is truly a gift.“

Debbie Perillo, HR Leader

*****

Anna gets to the heart of the matter in every issue she addresses. I am continually blown away by what can get dealt with using an activation. After an activation I feel calm, grounded and confident. They really help strengthen my connection to self, and realign with my natural state. Anna is so respectful of everyone's journey. I admire her expertise, commitment, and passion. I highly recommend her.
