Mind, Intellect + Emotions: Leadership and vulnerability in Covid19

I’ve always tried to lead with my heart. Opt for relationships first, above all else. After all, we are all human right? And if nothing else we are all doing our best to make our way in this world. For the most part, this has served me well. But more than anything it has given me lasting and meaningful relationships with those people in my circle that endure today.

My theory is that there is nothing more important in life than being yourself. The messy, the feelings, the complicated and the awesome. It’s all we are. I wear my heart on my sleeve and that makes me vulnerable. Sometimes good, sometimes not. But, I’d rather live my life with authenticity and meaning, than carve myself into some kind of mould, not fit for me.

I currently have a husband working from home amidst this covid 19 lockdown. He’s using MY office… which is a bit shit… but he reckons we can share. Lol, not going to happen. I like my space and he doesn’t quite get that me being in my beautiful, calming and serene office WITH him isn’t quite the same for my mind. He’s leading a large team remotely, and works in the public sector. Not notoriously known for being a fan of remote working the public sector has had to reevaluate how they get shit done.
