I just completed a five-week virtual training with Lynne Twist. My time with this special group of women was both thought-provoking and inspirational.
A few of the valuable take-aways from this course were:
Feminine archetype leadership isn't measurable; it builds relationships.
All positions create opposition; it's time for us to move from positionality to vision. To gain vision, we must relinquish our points of view.
Vision will pull us forward; you don't need to know how.
We also had special speakers: Leymah Gbowee and Iyanla Vanzant. This from Iyanla:
"If you don't have a strong 'no,' you'll have a weak 'yes.' You gotta have forty-five ways to say 'no.'"
"Put yourself first. Psalms says 'my cup runneth over.' What's in that cup is yours. If the cup is running over, that's what other people can have. Make sure all aspects of yourself are fed."
And Lynne, who's had the privilege of working beside Mother Teresa shared this quote from her: "The unadulterated love of one person nullifies the hatred of millions."
