The Big Idea: Own Your Leadership Equation
THE LEADERSHIP EQUATION
Where the magic happens…
The equation can be applied to the individual or team – at a planning level or in the moment.
Building on the work of those before us, we say outcomes result from….
Y - being clear on ‘what it is you do’…’what is your genius’
V - sets the context… a present want or envisioned future state
R - likely is an internal unconscious commitment that we may be hesitant to confront.
O - desired outcome
Choose an immediate need or a long-range aspiration and try the change formula. Dream big and appreciate what might be getting in the way. Tune into what factor is holding you back or getting in your way.
When we face the equation, we give ourselves an appreciation of what we are creating or holding ourselves back from creating.
What outcome are you or the business looking to create?
Building on the work of the Conscious Leadership Group
The Ingredients for Success…
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION…
A compelling question for a leader at any moment is, “Where am I?”
“Am I above the line, or am I below the line?”… Do I find myself in drama, or am I present?
As leaders, we lead more sustainably and dynamically when we are above the line. Yet, life and leadership are not a game of perfect, we are likely below the line much more often than above it.
The secret sauce is not where you are at any moment; it is building the awareness muscles so that you know where you are. From this place of awareness, we have choices... to shift or stay where we are.
Start asking yourself, “In this moment, where am I?”

Own your ‘Y’
What is it you do?
The second tool of leadership asks you to describe in one sentence what it is you do 7 days a week… We call this your ‘Y’ or better still, your zone of genius!
Reflect on up to six moments across your life where time seemed to slip away, you captivated an audience or felt an inner resonance. Identify commonalities in these experiences—what were you doing, feeling, or expressing?
Summarise this 'thread' in a single sentence, capturing the magic shared in this combination of professional or personal experiences. Invite simplicity and play into your one-liner.
Your leadership expertise is unquestionable, what sets you apart is staying true to what truly energises you.
When you're in your genius, with your ‘Y’, what is possible?
Fuel up
Increase your capacity...
The most underestimated leadership tool is developing awareness of our breath. Amid a leader's ego-driven rush for authority and a solution, a conscious breath brings clarity, revealing present-moment simplicity.
We encourage practising awareness of your full 'in' and 'out' breaths, acknowledging each inhale and exhale all the way through. Mindfully following these breaths expands inner space and clarity.
This practice gradually shapes a meditation routine, urging observation without alteration. Embracing and understanding your breath heightens awareness of your leadership presence.
How often do you recharge by utilising your own breath?
