Wednesday Wisdom: The importance of Self Leadership

Hey Soothe pod crew! This is another audio excerpt from my Instagram series, Wednesday Wisdom.  Enjoy!

Welcome to another Wednesday Wisdom, where I coach and teach on concepts of leadership for the highly sensitive person! Today I’m discussing what I think is the most important, but least discussed or understand element of leadership, and that is leadership of Self.

This can be a complicated concept to understand but well worth your time. When we have self leadership, we are becoming the healthy, compassionate, curious and confident Self leader, internally, to many of our multiplicity of parts of our psyche. 

We may have an inner critic. A rash part. A creative part. An inner child. An angry part. An overworking part, a people-pleasing part. We have so many parts, some which we may classify as “good” and some which may annoy or irritate us or that we wish would somehow just go *poof* 

But we also have a Self. And the Self is our core quality of a higher self of sorts, that embodies certain characteristics, and is ultimately meant to lead, compassionately, all of our other parts. 

In this Instagram live I talk about the 8 Cs and the 5 Ps - all the qualities of the Self - and how we can begin to cultivate our Self more. 

Because when we can truly lead INTERNALLY, all of our parts that need us, THEN we can begin to authentically and powerfully lead others, externally. 

Interested in this concept? I will be diving into Self Leadership in the Highly Sensitive Person Leadership Academy, which opens for enrollment in September. Get on the waitlist at catherinedandrews.com/hla for exclusive content, discounts and more.
