We’ve all been on the receiving end of unkept pr We’ve all been on the receiving end of unkept promises, manipulative practices and otherwise “icky” behavior in the self-help industry… and so we make a promise to ourselves to be… Not. That. ⁠
⁠
We’ve been exposed to, or perhaps indoctrinated, to business and coaching practices, that on the surface seem above-board, but when we look at the deeper dynamics, are actually unconscious breaches of integrity and disempowering to our communities and ourselves. ⁠
⁠
We are guided by a value of integrity, but through the lens of business and coaching… what does it mean?⁠
⁠
How are we, as leaders, putting integrity into practice?⁠
⁠
What systems do we have in place to ensure that we are in right relationship with power and integrity? ⁠
⁠
What are the specific containers for power and integrity that will allow our business to flourish because we are aligned? ⁠
⁠
On April 22, we will be coming together to answer all of these questions, and more… ⁠
⁠
It is time for integrity-driven leaders to step forward more powerfully in the transformation industry. We’ve that staying quiet is implied consent. ⁠
⁠
And so we’ll be talking about taking a stand, even more powerfully, for the people we serve. ⁠

It's so important for us as leaders and practition It's so important for us as leaders and practitioners to have a healthy relationship with our own power. Whether it's in our work with our clients, in our business, or in our personal lives, it’s critical we do the work to really strike this balance between owning our power while not disempowering others. 

That is where the Paradox of Power comes in…

We witness or experience the abuse of power.

We make a sacred contract “not to be like that”.

And we push our power into Shadow, leading to us having HYPO expressions, or HYPER expressions of our power, which holds us back in our fullest potential as practitioners. 

So how do we gain this power back? 

How do we bring our power out of Shadow, and begin to express it in a balanced way?

Picture this: ⁠ ⁠ You’re out one night with Picture this: ⁠
⁠
You’re out one night with girlfriends and one of them mentions that she just got a raise. ⁠
⁠
You’re happy for her, yet something starts nagging at you because you have really been wanting a raise, too. Even though you’re usually a caring and compassionate and supportive person, before you know it, you’re unwittingly shaming your friend in front of the entire group – maybe criticizing her choice in romantic partners or sharing an embarrassing and personal story about her. ⁠
⁠
It’s as if there was a predatory energy that was lodged deep inside of you, and it came out without your consent.⁠
⁠
Sound familiar?⁠
⁠
This is an example of the Shadow at work, and each and every human being on this planet has got Shadow energies running through them.⁠
⁠
The Shadow – first coined by Carl Jung – are the parts of ourselves that we don’t consciously identify with. They are the parts of ourselves that we have either rejected or not recognized altogether because they are unacceptable or shameful or not allowed. ⁠
⁠
We decided that these parts were unsavory and unwanted at a very young age.⁠
⁠
When you do the inner work that’s needed to own your Shadow, then you get to own, accept, embrace, honor and love ALL of yourself….not just certain pretty parts….but ALL of you. ⁠
⁠
Working with your Shadow is one of the most effective ways to lovingly bring your true self out of the shadow and into the light. It allows you to change behaviors and patterns that don’t serve, and it allows you to honor and claim all of who you are.⁠
⁠
What is your relationship with your shadow? ⁠

It's more than OK to not do all the "things" every It's more than OK to not do all the "things" everyone tells you that you need to do for a successful business.⁠
⁠
Even if you know better, it's pretty easy to get caught up in this.⁠
⁠
For example, when I first found out about Clubhouse, I was DETERMINED to be really active on it ASAP.⁠
⁠
I was an extremely late adopter of Instagram, and so in my mind, I was like "I am going to really leverage Clubhouse! I'm going to be an early adopter, and I am going to really harness this medium!"⁠
⁠
Then add to that, seeing so many people talking about how important it is to jump on it, there was an urgency to do it too.⁠
⁠
Well, guess what?⁠
⁠
Life and work have been really full, and I've lurked in one or two CH rooms and it seems to be very time consuming, and while I definitely want to jump in at some point because it seems really cool...⁠
⁠
...I STILL haven't done a single darn thing on Clubhouse except to make my bio.⁠
⁠
Could I have "fit" it in over the last 6 weeks that I've been a member? Sure.⁠
⁠
But would it have exhausted me and robbed me of much needed relaxation time? 100%⁠
⁠
Have I missed out on possible visibility?⁠
⁠
Maybe.⁠
⁠
But does it mean my business is going to suffer?⁠
⁠
Absolutely not.⁠
⁠
It was waaaay to easy for our nervous systems to get into a tizzy when we feel we need to rush to fit all the things in.⁠
It's actually a very patriarchal way of thinking - to believe we need to perfectly do ALL the things.⁠
⁠
And it's damaging.⁠
⁠
Watch yourself for this.⁠
⁠
Use your inner wisdom to determine what's right and what's not when it comes to what actions to take in your business.⁠
⁠
Don't get caught up in any hype or any "must-do" rules for success.⁠
⁠
Honor your own rhythms and what's aligned for you. It may not be the quickest way to "more, more, more", but it certainly is the quickest way to deeper satisfaction.⁠

Sacred Depths Practitioning is not just about the Sacred Depths Practitioning is not just about the honor of experiencing and being a part of the kind of magic that unfolds in the lives of those you serve.

That’s a big part of it of course, but it also translates into building the kind of business that has a much wider reach with less intense effort necessary.

It leads to what I call the Three R’s of business.

It starts with how engaged your clients immediately become in their work with you. 

Instead of a slow and precarious process of establishing a connection, you automatically create genuine meaningful relationships with your clients right away, which in turn creates the fertile ground for the transformation they seek.

This is how you create a self-generating business that ultimately allows you to focus on the work you’re here to do instead of having to spend all your time and energy on marketing. 

It doesn’t happen overnight, but when you have powerful transformative skills that you share with your clients, it’s all but eventually inevitable.

If this sounds like the life and business you are looking to create for yourself, visit the link in my bio or pages.applieddepthinstitute.com/links for more resources and information to help create deeper client transformation

One of the things people ask me most when they com One of the things people ask me most when they come to me for support on facilitation and curriculum techniques is, “How can I create more effective transformational exercises?”⁠⁠

I love teaching about this because knowing how to masterfully craft exercises that move your participants is KEY to co-creating results and deep learning.⁠

There are a lot of components that are necessary for an exercise to work REALLY well, and this includes a very important piece about how you set up your curriculum throughout your workshop, class, or retreat.⁠

⁠When your exercises are just not right, they come off as trite, too surface oriented, misplaced or just plain weird.⁠

Keeping these four points in mind when setting up your exercises is the beginning of more powerful, more effective, and more moving experiences for your clients⁠
