Coaching
The most important question is, “how should I be?” Impactful leaders are willing to personally undergo profound and meaningful change.
A leader with presence becomes impactful by learning to see what they don’t naturally see, where their vision has been trained and where it is blocked. At Sway, we work with leaders to understand their own and their staff’s strengths and blind spots. We believe those who courageously engage in a personal coaching process are also building a better world.
Parker Palmer writes on the significance of the inner life in the external affairs of our time, “the power of authentic leadership…is found not in the external arrangements, but in the human heart.”
How We Work With You
Personal Growth + Development
We guide leaders through the process of looking at their own story and sense of self, and exploring how that influences them in the workplace.
Power
We enable leaders to see that true power is available through empowering others. The famous composer Ben Sander noted that his work became astronomically more impactful when he asked, “What makes a group lively and engaged?” instead of, “How good am I?”
Authenticity
We teach leaders how to be transparent and vulnerable, and to do work that is true to their individual design and temperament.
Abundance
We trust that there is enough goodness and resources for everyone in the world and the workplace. Ask yourself, “If this was our mentality, how might things be different?”
Gentleness
Then working with fear, we need to be warm and act with compassion to ourselves. It is the only way we will be able to see how fear dictates our actions and defuse its power. When we are Honest with our fear, we are able to see and learn how to engage with it. Innovation + Creativity + Flexibility aids us in adapting to what the world needs and is hungry for instead of trying to protect oneselve’s own life.
