What does it truly mean to lead yourself?

In this illuminating conversation, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis explore the nature of self-leadership through three guiding questions:

What is self-leadership?
Why is it essential?
What stifles or prevents it?

The dialogue unfolds into five key elements of self-leadership — learning to be a generative self-starter, to self-regulate, self-align, and self-author, and ultimately to regeneratively express from elevated internal content.

Together they examine how our modern conditioning often works against the emergence of true self-leadership. Many of us struggle with insecurity, the feeling of not being “enough,” fragmentation, or distance from our authentic capacities as human beings.

Our conditioning in life and the world we live in today works against our taking up true self-leadership; and we fall prey to obstacles like insecurity, feeling we are not “enough” or too small, minimizing our self-views, feeling overwhelmed or fragmented, and being at distance from who we really are and what we are capable of as a human being on this planet.

The conversation culminates with a powerful invitation: to awaken the innate powers we all hold — to reason, to take charge, and to consciously guide the direction of our own lives.

Insights into self-leadership:

• The importance of the powers of "yes" and "no" in self-leadership
• Discover the "glory of being lost" as a potential precursor to moving into a new octave
• Accessing authenticity and the integration of our outer and inner lives
• The need for practical, daily practices; tending to one's inner landscape
