Self-leadership is our central root concept.
Self- leadership is the root for leading a purposeful life, based on self- awareness, strong values and dedication towards others and the community.
Supporting Root Concepts
Agility
As the world evolves in fast pace, self-leaders have to adapt themselves, their tools and their knowledge. It is a mindset that ensures that we accept the challenges we are confronted with, create new challenges where see a need for and find solutions that always have the needs of all human beings involved in mind. This mindset we call agility.
Transformation
Transformation literally means the action of changing shape.
For us, at Guide and Lead, transformation is a highly intentional process based on a shared purpose, guiding the energy for change.
Through our transformative work, we support and enable you or your organization to come closer to your authentic self.
Compassionate Communication
We believe that self-leadership is the power within ourselves to connect truly, fully and empathically with others.
The language that is used to do so, we call compassionate communication. This communication that emphasizes on the awareness of needs in ourselves and the others is the tool to connection.

More about our root concepts
Self-leadership
Self-leadership starts – just as the term indicates- simply with one self. We believe, that in order to being able to connect with others, guide others or to be able to adjust to different environments and challenges in life, one needs to be consciously aware of who he or she is and also needs to be firm in this consciousness, meaning having found the most important drivers of oneself.
Agility
The benefits of intentionally introducing more agility are numerous. Collaborative learning and working are central to the process. Organizations thrive as they become more responsive and innovative.
Work becomes more meaningful as well as more productive. Leadership becomes more agile, distributed and open.
Transformation
A transformation for an individual or an organization can never be a complete re-invention, maintaining nothing in common with the previous incarnation. This would rather be a replacement, which – even if it were possible – would be totally inauthentic.
Nor is transformation simply improvement. Through a transformation process, central assumptions and ways of working are questioned and investigated, rather than just working to improve things around the edges.
Compassionate Communication
At Guide and Lead self-leadership means not only the awareness of the self but also the ability to connect with others by recognizing own needs and those of other people or organizations. This leads to being able to competently communicate requests and strategies that involve meeting the needs of everybody. It is the art to stay true with oneself and truly connect to others at the same time.
