It’s a new year, offering a new moment for a new understanding of what your leadership will mean in 2023.

For a long time now, you’ve desired a big impact and so you pursued the job, the productivity, and the approval. But all that hunger for the big impact—that enough people thought you were right enough, smart enough, likable enough—has left you less satisfied than you would have guessed.

At first, you were surprised. It must be, you reasoned fairly, that you simply hadn’t climbed high enough yet. And because you have the right combination of grit, intelligence, and that uncanny ability to delay gratification for like forever, you reached higher, hustled harder, and worked longer.

On one hand, your effort has paid off. You got your “goals.” More achievements. More promotions. More content. More followers. More money.

But it was the damndest thing, the higher you climbed, the lower you longed to go. You had the nagging suspicion that, if you weren’t careful, you would miss the astounding depth of your one magnificent life.

Ask yourself: Where does the power of the ocean truly reside—on its surface or deep below?

For a long time now, you’ve been a star performer on a shallow stage of Other People’s Approval. You’ve taken your power—your brilliance, creativity, and comprehension—and given too much of it in service of “them”: for their approval, for their attention and their nods.

For their permission.

The problem, you’re starting to realize, is that your energy is your holiest asset—your singular vehicle to lead this one life you’ve been given. 2023 is a fabulous time to wake up. Nothing has gone wrong. In many ways, this is simply the natural unfolding of human development, evolution at work.

But evolution promises depth, and your life has been calling you. You’ve felt its nudges through the sensation of your own longing—a longing for more depth, more meaning, more pleasure, more ease, and more clarity.

Soon, a new year will break on the horizon. Many times, you’ve been brought to this precise point in the celestial orbit. Many times, you’ve had the well-laid plans and the cutting-edge strategies. But these things can’t deliver you until they belong to you.

If you want a personal brand of leadership—a leadership that feels as powerful as it feels good—you don’t need bigger goals or clearer steps. And you sure as shit don’t need more to-do lists.

What you need is an Intention—a resolute focus on letting go of what you thought you needed to be so you can access the power of who you actually are.

Of all the things you can build in 2023, the most powerful will be a life that feels like yours. If that isn’t leadership, I don’t know what is.

Is this therapy?

Pretty straightforward but gotta say it: No. I am a neuropsychologist who works with the brain, leadership, and emotional power. Intention is a leadership program and expressly not psychotherapy. This program is for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. This means it will be profound + enjoyable. But no medical advice will be offered.
