“I help you uncover your leader DNA and brand your brilliance from the inside out.” Leigh Mitchell (she/her),
ChangeMaker Leader Brand Strategist

Self-leadership is the practice of understanding who you are, identifying your desired experiences, and intentionally guiding yourself toward them. It spans the determination of what we do, why we do it, and how we do it.

The term ‘self-leadership’ first emerged from Charles C. Manz.

Your Leadership Assets:

• Mindfulness & embodiment:

  Mindfulness for an inner leader is present moment awareness of inner experience with openness and non judgment, enabling calm, values-based responses.

  Embodiment for an inner leader is fully inhabiting the body so inner qualities like courage and care are clearly expressed through presence and behaviour.

   

• Job crafting: Job crafting is the process of proactively adjusting aspects of your job so that it better fits your strengths, interests, and values, often to make work more meaningful and motivating.

• High-quality connections: High quality connections in the ChangeMaker Leader Community are created when we show up with presence, respect, and curiosity in every interaction, actively listening, acknowledging others, and responding with care and integrity. 

Benefits:

• Purposeful vision gives leaders a clear, values-aligned direction that inspires focus, motivation, and consistent action toward meaningful impact.
• Authentic engagement allows leaders to connect with others in a real and transparent way, deepening trust, collaboration, and commitment.
• Strength-based recovery enables leaders to bounce back from setbacks by leaning into what they do best, rebuilding energy and resilience more quickly.

THE CHANGE FRAMEWORK

Change: The shift starts internally. Recognizing that you cannot lead transformation externally unless you are willing to embody the necessary shifts in mindset and behavior personally first.

Honesty: Face current realities with candor, acknowledging both strengths and hard truths without defensiveness.

Alignment: Ensure the proposed change integrates with your core values (DNA) and organizational purpose.

Navigate: Actively guide yourself and others through the inevitable turbulence and uncertainty of the transition space.

Grow: View the disruption not just as a hurdle, but as necessary friction for evolving capabilities and resilience.

Enoughness: Operate from a place of grounded self-worth, recognizing that your authentic presence and current best effort are sufficient to lead through uncertainty without needing to be perfect.
