COMMUNION SERVICE - 14th APRIL 2024 THEME: BE LED TO LEAD TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 30:8-18 ~ Worship is really deeper than ordinary custom worship without having a real taste of the worship. ~ God has never assigned someone to an impossible mission meaning that before God assigns, He has already provided solution to the mission all it takes is your humility to see the solution. ~ There are prices you must be pay in order to become a Leader ~ You do not have a voice loud enough to introduce yourself but humble yourself and God will introduce you to the people louder than what you expect. ~ God will not come down from heaven to give you the Divine connectors needed in your life but will pass through man to provide Divine connectors. ~ You can not have the assets if man if you do not humble yourself for you to be led. ~ There are revelations that God will not reveal to you but a man you humble yourself to will reveal. ~ People will judge you from your appearance and not from what your internal contents contain. ~ If King David humbled himself and follow the instructions of a half dead man in order to bring recover his possession so we are to follow suits, bury pride an follow instructions.

Today on the podcast, Hortense Le Gentile joins Bradley to discuss leadership and her latest book, The Unlocked Leader. Today more than ever, leading with humanity and empathy is mission-critical for any team or organization seeking to achieve its highest potential. Yet too many leaders blunt their impact by confining their ability to inspire, allowing it to stay locked up inside themselves. They remain trapped in the outdated myth that they must be superhero leaders ⎯ infallible, unflappable, and fearless ⎯even though the human leaders who embrace empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity are proven most effective.

In this interview about leadership development, author and executive coach Hortense le Gentil describes how leaders can unlock their power by learning to lead with empathy, authenticity, and humanity. Hortense describes how many leaders are held back by mindtraps - “old beliefs and expectations that no longer serve us” - like imposter syndrome, fixed mindsets, emotional stereotypes, familial expectations, etc, Hortense shares how leaders can overcome these mindtraps by becoming aware of them, having a desire to change them, and the courage to directly face the obstacles holding the leader back. She finishes the conversation by describing how leaders can build and anchor new perspectives and new practices that will unlock more empathetic and effective leadership capabilities. Hortense le Gentil is a world-renowned executive leadership coach, speaker and author. She guides CEOs and senior executives on their journey from hero leaders to human leaders. She is the author of the book Aligned: Connecting Your True Self with the Leader You're Meant to Be, which was published in 2019 and “The Unlocked Leader: Dare to Free your Own Voice, Lead With Empathy and Shine Your Light in the World,” released in 2023.
Have you had that moment where time seemed to stand still, and you had a ton done without little effort? Like you were in a state of flow? I love it when this happens to me. It feels so good to effortlessly get stuff done and the day is not a slog. Last year, I was introduced to Hortense le Gentil, an executive coach and author. I picked up her book, Aligned: Connecting Your True Self with the Leader You're Meant to Be, and I was inspired by it and knew I needed her on the show. I wanted to pick Hortense's brain to learn how I can multiply these states of flow so that I'm in alignment more often. As we know, being in this state of alignment is better for our health and happiness. It drives better results and makes us better leaders. During our discussion, Hortense and I talked about:1. What alignment means at work.2. Signs or symptoms of not being aligned.3. What prevents us from being aligned, including mental hurdles?4. The steps we need to get back on track.5. How intuition and mindfulness play a role in alignment in leadership.6. How our work environment and the people we surround ourselves with impact us.

But it's about showing up as our true authentic selves and saying “It's okay to be human. It's safe to be human.” - Mollie Jean De Dieu“Everything begins with you. With your emotions, with who you are, who you want to be, how you want to show up, how you want to be remembered.” - Hortense Le Gentil Stay connected:Hortense Le Gentilhttps://hortenselegentil.com/ Emotional inclusionhttps://www.emotionalinclusion.com/https://www.instagram.com/emotional_inclusion/https://www.linkedin.com/company/emotional-inclusion/

“When you are aligned, you instinctively know what to do. You're equipped to close the gap between the leader you are and the leader you want to be. When your professional and personal values are aligned, you lead with authenticity and everything becomes possible.”Many guests on Purpose 360 have shared how they activate employees, collaborate in partnerships, communicate to customers, and engage in the community. It is clear that purpose work requires companies and leaders to care for and focus on many different stakeholders. But while leaders must focus on internal and external stakeholder alignment, it's vital to also invest in yourself to maintain alignment.Hortense le Gentil, Executive Coach and Author, defines alignment as the congruence of who you are with what you do. Much like how an organization looks to its values to define purpose, individuals must do the same to be the best version of themselves, drive change, and create impact.Listen for Hortense's insights on:The most effective ways to find alignmentWhy showing emotion is vital in effective leadership.How to break down “mind traps” to unleash your potentialWhat leaders can learn from model CEOs, including Satya Nadella (Microsoft), John Donahoe (Nike), and Corie Barry (Best Buy)Resources + Links:Hortense le Gentil on LinkedInHortense le Gentil's WebsiteAligned: Connecting Your True Self to the Leader You're Meant to Be

Have you ever felt like you were on a roll? Every thing seems to be going your way. Time slows, and you see clearly. Past the noise and distractions, you're able to zoom in on the essential. You take the perfect action at the perfect time. You instinctively know what to do, and you have the profound feeling that you are on the right path. This experience is the manifestation of what our guest calls alignment. Alignment is the congruence of who you are, what you feel, and what you love on a deep and fundamental level with what you do, what you say, what you envision, and where you are going. Alignment is not about falling in step or conforming to others' expectations, but rather it's about becoming more yourself—and, in so doing, transcending what you thought were the limits of your capabilities. You too, if properly aligned, can reach higher than you ever thought possible, effortlessly and joyfully inspiring others to embrace and follow your vision. You too can generate that sense of clarity and ease, even in the face of challenges and setbacks. You too can create that congruence of who you are, what you think, and what you do. We welcome the author of "Aligned: Connecting Your True Self with the Leader You're Meant to Be", Hortense Le Gentil. More about Hortense HLGconsulting.org

Free downloads of Quick Reference Guides on Delegation, Time Management, Sales, and more. Key Takeaways [3:40] The model of the leader is a superhero, who seems to know it all. However, no one wants to follow these guys anymore. [5:20] The most important decision we make in business is who we put in power. [7:00] Before you begin to lead others, you first need to define your purpose and what you're hoping to achieve. [8:15] If a leader doesn't know, then it's okay to admit that. That's how you begin to connect with your team. [9:10] In times of crisis, leaders can still show authenticity and regulate their emotions. Hubert shares an example of a crisis he faced at Best Buy. [12:50] Reflecting back, Hubert can identify some key mistakes he has made throughout his career. One of these being with hyper-growth. [14:35] When it came to reopening certain stores during COVID-19, Best Buy's current CEO, Corie Barry, decided to create a list of principles. [15:10] These principles allowed for critical teams to be empowered and to take action without waiting for permission. [17:25] In Hubert's latest book, the heart of the business needs to be more than a revenue machine, it needs to pursue a noble purpose. [20:00] Leaders are very focused on being in the weeds of the business when they actually need to focus on the center of the business: the people. [21:35] Best Buy was able to align its people on a noble purpose. Hubert shares a story of how he was able to connect selling electronics to a bigger mission. [25:35] Don't just use your brain. Use your heart, your soul, and your guts. [28:45] Hubert was trained to create a plan, define the KPIs, measure it, and then put incentives in place. Guess what, people don't like that too much! People do not like being told what to do. [35:10] A lesson Hubert has learned in life is: A decision gets made by the decision-makers. You have to focus on what you can control. The good news is, there's a lot you can control! [38:50] Good leadership journey starts with reflection and the type of legacy we want to leave behind. [41:55] When it comes to bringing more women to the table, if a leader says she's not ready for the next big leap, we need to help change that outcome and bring more support to her. [43:45] In Hubert's book he has a call to action: It's our job to create a better future. We each have a part to play. Quotable Quotes “Our role is to create an environment in which others can be successful.” “The first principle is we are going to care about the safety of our employees and customers.” “Instead of talking about the what, we talked about the why.” “We are a company that focuses on enriching lives through technology by addressing key human needs.” Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Pass-life.com.

Having a strong organization relies on the mission, the people, and the leader. Once the leader realizes that together with the value of their people, success is inevitable. These principles were observed in the military by Thomas Connally, and he spreads these as a guide to other leaders through Connally Counseling.

Life on Purpose returns with Episode #88, the third of several informal chats in a series I’m calling Seeing The Light In Uncertain Times. My guest for this episode is spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, author, and coach Eric Klein of Wisdom Heart and Dharma Consulting, who returns to the show for the fourth time in the past decade. Taped in April 2020 as people around the world were dealing with the ramifications and massive uncertainty with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Eric joined me for a wisdom-filled conversation on facing our fears and living free in uncertain times. We discussed various ways you can do that and stay connected to your deepest purpose via wisdom from a 2,500 year-old Indian text, the Bhagavad Gita, that Eric says is a guidebook for our times. We also talked about concepts like integration and wholeness; dharma and your customized path; how to untangle your life from the illusions/tenuous nature of conditioning; letting go of what no longer serves us; the importance of practices (even starting today); how to build the capacity for/cultivate more wakefulness and loving awareness; seeing the openings/doorways; tools for dealing with these times, and so much more! About Eric: Eric Klein is a spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, author, and coach. For the past three decades, he has been a leading voice in the movement to bring greater spirit, mindfulness, and meaning to the workplace through his writing, training, and speaking through his company Dharma Consulting.
