The Power of Leading from the Heart with Nina Simons (Co-Founder Bioneers) | Ep. 33

This week I am delighted to chat with Nina Simons, co-founder of Bioneers and social entrepreneur passionate about reimagining leadership, restoring balance to the feminine and masculine, and helping to heal relations with ourselves, each other and the Earth.

In this episode we talk about how Nina experienced her call to purpose, how healing imbalances in the world and within systems starts with healing imbalances in ourselves, and Nina’s evolving understanding of leadership that is increasingly relational and from the heart.

The topics we cover are:

• The moment when Nina got clarity on her purpose
• How we are all being called to step into our leadership potential right now
• What helps us take action in service of what we believe in and what we love
• How her definition and understanding of leadership has changed over her life
• How redefining leadership helps women appreciate their own contributions and leadership
• The one thing in nature that is offering her guidance right now
• Nina’s personal practices to cultivate systems of care
• Why cultivating community and relationships, starting with the relationship to ourselves, is the key to tackling the challenges of our times
• The historic reasons for the Internal barriers women have in speaking our truth and take space
• What makes the annual Bioneers gathering so special in integrating inner and outer work
