— The LIVE IT Method

The LIVE IT Method serves as the undercurrent of all LIVE IT’s leader and leadership development. I created this framework for my clients (and myself) to develop leadership and learn about self and others with clarity, structure, and ownership. Leader identity, learning and building strength are central to this framework where each person leads themselves and leads other. When enacted, the LIVE IT Method creates a cumulative effect. When one person develops their awareness of themselves, take ownership of their behaviour and develops their leader skills to lead others, it generates a rise in leader capacity. When multiple people enact the framework within an organization, they too learn and build their leadership capacity. This results in an increase of self-awareness in the whole team, linking them together and allowing truth and trust to be catalysts for authentic communication with each individual and with others.

We are all self-leaders. Leading self means knowing who you are, being self-aware, and recognizing the impact of your behaviours. From this place of awareness and recognition, self-leaders know their strengths, uncover blind spots, and challenge assumptions and bias. Self-leaders bring control and groundedness to their actions and reactions. Curiosity and self-reflection are crucial to your continuous evolution. Self-leadership is staying true to who you are and facing your inner critics and self-limiting beliefs with courage. Leading the self isn’t about going through life alone – it insists you ask for help and be open and vulnerable with others to move forward. Self-leadership is making choices in self-care (emotionally, physically, and spiritually) that support the way you want and deserve to live. Self-leadership believes in your whole self. It is unlocking your potential, being guided by your values and purpose, establishing a clear vision, and accepting ownership and responsibility for yourself.

We all lead other (people, ecological community, situations). Leading people is helping recognize and unlock their potential to be successful. It insists you foster continuous reflection to further their understanding of self, people, and the world around them. Leading others is recognizing strengths, believing in their whole self, and inspiring them to do the same. Leading other demands curiosity (never judgment) to ask questions and listen for the answers. It means guiding them to access their intuition, to interpret thoughts, feelings, and emotions to communicate with clarity and ease. This connectedness (to self and other) builds authenticity essential to travel through fears, inner critics, and self-limiting beliefs to move forward. This is where you delegate, mentor, influence, and assume responsibility for their growth.

We are full of limitless possibilities; we are limitless in our learning and growth, which ebbs and flows into the two sides of our person…

The impact we make on ourselves and the impact we make on other.
