our heartset

We hope this page allows you to connect with us at a heart level. 

If after reading this, you feel we might be the right people to have in your corner, be sure to connect with us. 

We would much rather spend our energy serving people who believe what we believe rather than having to convince anyone that heart-centred leadership is what is needed. 

Here are a few of our beliefs that will help you know whether we are a good fit to work together. 

We believe in the untapped potential of people, teams and communities. 

We believe leadership is the master key to unlocking that potential. 

We believe a leader who believes in the potential of their people and their team will be blessed with growth, impact and high performance. 

We believe the world needs your Heartwork. 

We believe it is unconditional love that creates trust and psychological safety - the foundation of high performing teams. 

We believe in having a devoted heart and a disciplined mind. 

We believe love leaves us better. 

We believe love gives us more energy than it takes. 

We believe great leaders lead from their Heartset. 

We believe great leaders connect their teams to a Heartset. 

We believe great leaders focus on serving rather than being served. 

We believe anyone can lead right where they are, with what they have, but few choose to. 

We believe that when a leader looks after themselves, they become better for those who need them. 

We believe the purpose of self love is to lead us to needing nothing so we can lead from love and not for love. 

We believe that love as life force leads to a more kind, compassionate and collaborative form of leadership. 

We believe it is better to tap in to the power within people rather than have power over people.

We believe in being the type of leader that people want to follow rather than have to follow. 

We believe in creating space and places for people to belong and to contribute.  

We believe the true ripple effect of leadership is beyond those we lead. The true legacy of your leadership is the impact those you help go on to have on other people. 

We believe that parenting is one of the greatest forms of leadership. 

We believe that people's nature needs nurturing. 

We believe that leaders are always learning more about themselves, others, their skills set and the way the world works. 

We believe a leader who leads from their heart will inspire others to do the same. 

We believe in working with leaders who believe what we believe, and want help developing this style of leadership within their teams. 

Do you believe what we believe?
