I've recently decided to focus my coaching practice on women visionaries and here's why.
First
I always recommend to people that to double the power of their brand
they should cut their niche in half. Second, I tell clients to focus on
working with people that give them the most energy. The question we ask
is who are your people? When I looked at where I get the most energy it
clearly is working with my female clients. When I looked at who are my people or
who are showing up in my practice; they are mostly women. This does not
mean I wont work with a man that is attracted to what I have to offer,
only that my focus will be on women.
But there is more to it than that. I realize that the
challenges we face as a society are mostly around the need to change/increase our consciousness. The ways of the past, mostly driven by
males, will not work. We have to restore wholeness to our planet. We
have to work in cooperation among nations and races. We can not
continue to rape the earth as entrepreneurs of the past have. These
changes must happen quickly and for the most part men are too ingrained
in our pasts to wake up fast enough to the changes.
There is a growing movement in the US of Cultural Creatives.
These are people much more concerned with the happenings of the world
than just the US. More likely to be volunteers in their community. They
are more concerned with the environment and social justice. And two
thirds of them are women.
In the book Spiral Dynamics, Don Beck talks about the
different stages of consciousness, or memes, that we have gone through
historically and where we need to go as a society. For the last 150
years we have been in a strong entrepreneurial meme that has largely
been driven by men. 30% of the population is in the entrepreneurial
meme. In the last forty years a new meme of community has formed.
Community is a meme of bringing people together for a common cause,
think Green Peace. 10% of the population is in this meme.
What Beck says is that for us to meet the challenges
of our complex rapidly changing world we need to move to new memes of
higher consciousness. These stages bring out what we know to be true in
the world and are represented by chaos and an uncertainty of what will
be next including how we will make a living doing the work that needs
to be done. These memes represent only 1% of the population. This is not an easy place to be and I want to help the
women that choose to go there.
In the book Power vs Force, Dr.David Hawkins has developed a
scale of consciousness using kinesiology. He states that on a scale of
1-1000 when you reach 200 you are at a place where you put more energy
into the world then you take out and that 85% of the world is below
200. So, how does the world stay in balance? It stays in balance
because as you exceed 200 your impact on consciousness is exponential.
At the place of love or 500 on the scale, you can have an impact that
counters the negativity of 400,000 people.
The major advances in consciousness will be lead by women.
Women are the largest percentage of Cultural Creatives. Women are less
likely to be caught in the lower memes of consciousness discussed in
Spiral Dynamics and more likely to be wiling to reach for higher
consciousness as described in Power Vs Force. Even a small percentage of
women achieving higher consciousness can make a huge difference in the
world.
What we need is bold women visionaries to usher in the new
world. The work I do with "A Better Way to Live and Work" is one way to
make this happen. My vision is to become the Marshall Goldsmith of Women Visionary coaching.
Why am I qualified to do this? I am a Cultural Creative. I have been an entrepreneur for over 30 years and have worked through my entrepreneurial phase to strive for higher consciousness. As an experienced coach I provide a trusted male perspective.
