Leading with heart is hard work, and we need to have our needs met to do the emotional labor that is required to thrive and show up as heart-led leaders. Aside from our very basic needs to survive, we all have needs that must be met for us to thrive. These fall into three categories: physical, emotional, and environmental.
If we pay close attention to how we feel in certain environments, around certain people, and when eating or drinking certain things, we can develop a very clear idea of what we actually need to feel resourced and creatively alive.
