The 4 Cs of Intrinsic Leadership

Intrinsic Leadership is about taking the time to explore and challenge ourselves to try new things, see more broadly, and hold ourselves accountable to doing the work required for real change.

Becoming an Intrinsic Leader is a commitment to lifelong learning, to investing in and improving your leadership skills, and aligning your intentions with impact so you can show up for others, help them do their best work and realize their potential.

We created the 4 Cs of Intrinsic Leadership as a framework to guide you on your leadership journey.

"Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe."

- Oprah

Lead with Clarity

Design your Leadership Vision with your rules of leadership. Explore what matters most, and create a roadmap to get there.

Clarify your personal vision, strengths, values and passions.

We explore questions for clarity:

What's working with your leadership style? What's not?
What are your leadership strengths and values?
What does intrinsic leadership, leading from the inside out, mean to you? For you?

Leaders invest significant time on business plans and team objectives. Many leaders tell us they spend very little (if any) time designing their leadership plan. This is the foundation of Intrinsic Leadership and the Women.Lead.Now. Masterclass.

Lead with Confidence

Understand what gets in your way - and its impact on you and your leadership. Learn tools to increase your self-confidence, resilience and trust in yourself.

We explore questions about confidence:

What are the stories you tell yourself?
What gets in the way of your confidence?
Who gets more air time? Your inner critic or your inner ally?

Building your confidence helps you manage stress, navigate complexity and uncertainty, and take on challenges and risk, leading to more impact and influence as a leader.

"We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead."

- Beyoncé

"A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a flowing river. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself."

- Maya Angelou

Lead with Competence

Build "coach-like" leadership skills that enhance performance, strengthen relationships, and normalize risk-taking. Explore the difference between intention and impact.

Strengthen your competence and agility leading your team.

We explore questions about competence:

What's important about being a "coach-like" leader?
What are the strengths of a "coach-like" leader?
What gets in the way?

Equip yourself with new tools to be an inspiring and engaging leader.

Lead with Courage

Learn to tap into the courage you need to make the changes you want. It's always been there; the time is now to own it.

We explore questions about courage:

What's important about being a courageous leader?
Where does courage show up in your leadership?
What courage will you need to lead intrinsically?

It takes courage to lead authentically. It takes courage to speak up and be heard. It takes courage to set boundaries and prioritize self-renewal.

It takes courage to lead from the inside out.

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be, and embracing who we are."

- Brené Brown

Rewrite YOUR Rules of Leadership

Most leaders get stuck in a cycle of trying to control and fix people, instead of focusing on their own growth.

Leaders who are overwhelmed feel like they have no time for themselves and that they must be perfect at everything. They focus on the needs of others instead of their own needs, which leads to burnout, resentment, anger, self-doubt and exhaustion.

Join the Women.Lead.Now. Masterclass to find your way back to your true self so that you can live the life that matters most to you.
