In order to raise consciousness on a worldwide scale and catch the attention of leaders, Eric Balance, a Polish Canadian expert in Conscious Culture Design and Strategy, is launching a movement. Eric, now calls Dubai home, and has spent the last five years traveling the globe in quest of the heaven he believes dwells inside each and every one of us. In a conversation, Eric gave his unique viewpoint on leadership.
He believes that the ability to recognise the leader within oneself is the most important aspect of leadership. It is one’s ability to recognize first and foremost the leader within. Our abilities to lead need to come from being willing to lead from the inside. And that means to be willing to go deep enough to see and know where you want to be. To embody this, and be willing to pave the path as you walk it.
As a result, when challenges arise, individuals might generate creative solutions that encourage those around them to realize that they can all work together to effect change. Alternatively, when things are going well and progressing in a way that feels great, it’s critical to hold onto their sense of purpose and accountability while keeping an eye out for both themselves and other people in case circumstances change or a dangerous situation arises.
Eric thinks that for many, this is a difficult route filled with heavy responsibilities, and our hearts’ wisdom plays a key role in realising that the north star resides inside. It is in this strength that we lead because this vast wisdom comes to us from a divine source that embodies both the masculine and feminine energies.
On a question about whether leadership requires more than just language to communicate, Eric’s answer is clearly yes. We have more than 50,000 facial expressions, which when combined, can create millions of feelings depending on various worldviews and maps of the world. In his words, “You see the old adage, “your perception of me, is a reflection of you” is literally magic. It gives us an opportunity to take responsibility for the world around us. Because, if we have had the curiosity of walking through a path that hasn’t been there before and willing to experience and challenge dichotomies by immersing ourselves into different environments. We can discover this energy in everyone. You tap into an intuitive behavior that feels right and your mindsight becomes clear by taking action. So you make it happen, using the masculine, and trust in it using the feminine. This is within you.
We all have both nurture and nature (fem) as well as creator and hunter (masc), and by cultivating energy within ourselves, we can actually learn to communicate more effectively through our actions rather than words, and, as a result, our BEing emerges.
Eric shares that for a society that has been so conditioned by patriarchal philosophy, and a wounded philosophy for that matter, I believe that we are meant to tap more into our feminine nature as leaders, whether you are a man or a woman doesn’t matter, it is deeper, it’s in the essence of true presence. To be able to hold space within ourselves as vulnerable beings and have compassion to ourselves and each other. This is true strength.
You see, we can start illuminating love and peace in the world around us by finding it in ourselves first. As a result, when we are prepared to go to this level, we take charge of our lives, are able to consciously express our truth, and do it in a way that is sensitive, responsible, and purposeful.
Less force and more power, and it’s when this happens as a leader you become a magnet of direction for others and once others start to see it in you, the universe is asking you to step into the next stage, which is showing others that what they are seeing is inside of them. Because we are all one.
He gave his final remarks by explaining, “And so as a leader you become the mirror that others need to find within themselves, and we continue to grow as a family together. This is our evolution as humans, artists, and creators. The creator is us, together as one. The New Ancestors”
