- 0:00Do you want to be an ethical leader? Are you looking at the sustainability of
- 0:03your business long term? And do you want your team to be there long term
- 0:06as well? Some practical things that you can do within your team right
- 0:11Give your team something where they're like, holy shit, I never thought
- 0:16What? You're really willing to let me go there? I'm like, yeah, absolutely.
- 0:20This is the path that I would like you to go down so that you can
- 0:23get to there. How did I get them from earning $700 a
- 0:27week to earning four and five grand a week? Welcome
- 0:32Wisdom Keepers, Soul Tribe and New Earth Leaders to
- 0:35Soul Temple, your haven for self-discovery and growth.
- 0:39I'm Blythe Langford and I am your guide to finding yourself and
- 0:43your true, true, true, true, true purpose. Together, let's
- 0:46shift from feeling stuck and misaligned to living a
- 0:50life of purpose and prosperity. What
- 0:55is divine leadership? I am so happy that you asked
- 0:58that question because divine leadership, no, it's not
- 1:02like all other leadership. Divine leadership is how we
- 1:05are going to bridge the gap and make a change in
- 1:08this world forever. Divine leadership is what is coming into
- 1:12and what we are creating for the future. Divine leadership is
- 1:16a way of running your team as if it is
- 1:20a collective that is in
- 1:23harmony together. Now what I
- 1:27mean by this is It's not from an authoritarian top-down
- 1:32leadership model. It is about the owner, the boss, the
- 1:36leaders actually driving and mentoring
- 1:40the team to get the best out of the team, not only for the business, but
- 1:43for the benefit of the team as well. So
- 1:47being an ethical leader means that you or maybe
- 1:50your managers are educated in how to deal
- 1:54with each team member individually. Now,
- 1:58what I mean by this is every single team member has their
- 2:01own unique reason for showing up to work each and
- 2:04every day. And as a leader, it's up to you or
- 2:08your manager to figure out why that person
- 2:11has come into your business. What inspires them? What is
- 2:14going to make them show up each and every day and give you more
- 2:18and more each and every single day? How are you going to
- 2:21enroll them and get them so invested in your company,
- 2:25in your brand, in your business that they don't want to leave, that
- 2:28they want to be there more than you? That is
- 2:32divine leadership. It's when you bring the divine
- 2:35through them so that they can channel what's going on
- 2:39in your business. Right? I got goosebumps. It
- 2:43is just a different way of being and
- 2:46existing and leading. Now, I want to give you a really specific example
- 2:50of this. I had my businesses for, well,
- 2:54ever since I was 24, I've been, well, I had specific salon
- 2:58businesses and been in business since I was a teenager. When
- 3:02I had my businesses, my staff and my team, it
- 3:06got to the point where I had mentored them and put every
- 3:09single bit of energy and effort into them and
- 3:13their growth and their potential and figuring out what drove
- 3:17them, every single one of them. What did they want in their personal life?
- 3:20What did they want in their career? What did they want to feel in their bodies? How
- 3:23did they want to exist in the world? What did they want to experience in their lives? And
- 3:27how could I, as a leader, figure out how I can help
- 3:31them empower them to figure out how they were going to get there.
- 3:34And how can my business be a tool that's going to give them the life
- 3:38that they actually want, so that they never want to leave, so that they're so enrolled
- 3:41and invested that they would stay there forever. So that's what I
- 3:44believe is divine leadership. Now with my team, it
- 3:48was at the start, me putting in all the effort to figure out
- 3:52how, figuring out different leadership styles, figuring out how
- 3:55I was going to work with my team, figuring out what their needs were. And
- 3:58in the end, after I had developed my leadership
- 4:02skills and after I had a systemized model of
- 4:05how I led my teams, my
- 4:09teams ran so well that they're like, Blythe, we actually don't want you
- 4:13here because you hinder our growth and you hinder the business.
- 4:16I was like, what? I have literally just made my
- 4:20businesses this amazing like workhorse where
- 4:24it runs and it functions better without me because when I'm
- 4:27there I'm so invested and enrolled in my teams and they're like that's great
- 4:31but we're in risk we're invested and enrolled in the business and
- 4:35we're going to make this business thrive. So in the end me
- 4:38going away on holidays and me going away and learning all these amazing things
- 4:42to inspire myself was what actually got the
- 4:45most out of the team because they were already running the
- 4:49business to its fullest potential. They
- 4:52were top in our company in Australia.
- 4:56They were head leaders. They were head educators. They were earning three,
- 5:00four times more than other people. And they did it
- 5:03in a lot less time frame. So that's what
- 5:06I hope happens with you. And that's what my clients have
- 5:10actually come to do is change how they work as a leader and
- 5:13delegate a lot more after they've gotten their team completely enrolled
- 5:18and invested in their business. And then they get to have more time off.
- 5:22Everybody gets to have more time off and everybody gets to
- 5:25make more money and the business is more successful and thriving. So,
- 5:31how do you become an ethical leader? It's
- 5:34about developing a new level of care and consideration
- 5:39and respect for yourself, your business and your team.
- 5:43How you get there is by doing some inner work on yourself,
- 5:47personal development, meditation, breath work,
- 5:51plant medicine, walks in nature, but
- 5:54having a clean vessel, respecting yourself so much
- 5:58that respect flows through into your business and
- 6:01into your team. Having self-respect and self-honour and
- 6:06obsession with being a better version of yourself makes
- 6:10you an ethical leader and makes you be able to care
- 6:14and be respectful and be obsessed about the
- 6:17well-being of your staff. Because there's
- 6:21one thing to just I call it, well, Anthony
- 6:24Robbins, when I worked with Anthony Robbins, he actually calls it whore trading. There's
- 6:28one thing to do something and you want a specific outcome.
- 6:32We call that whore trading, right? Like it's like you're prostituting yourself
- 6:36because you're doing something in order just to receive something back.
- 6:40So there's no compassion, there's no ethical exchange
- 6:43there, right? There is instead this I'm
- 6:47going to pay you for this, do this for me. It's like you're an authoritarian. It's
- 6:50like the world model that we're trying to step away from. So
- 6:55when you're an ethical leader, it's about actually seeing your
- 6:58team and each staff member as an individual and
- 7:02considering and going in there just with an
- 7:05open book, having no idea about what it is that they
- 7:09need or want and actually wanting to find out. So
- 7:13it's like being a detective in your own business. It's like being a detective for
- 7:17the people that are in your team. And when you go in
- 7:20there with that open mind and that open heart. you
- 7:25end up falling in love with each one of your team members. Like you just have a greater love
- 7:28and respect for them and you actually want the best for
- 7:31them and their lives. Whether it's in your business or whether they're going
- 7:35to be there for a short time or a long time, it's irrelevant because
- 7:38it's about how can that person have the best life possible whilst
- 7:42being in your care because your business is your care,
- 7:46right? So that's what being an ethical
- 7:49leader is all about. It's about going above and beyond the
- 7:53mainstream and being a real New Earth leader in your own business
- 7:56now so that your business, once that you are
- 8:00being that leader for your team, then your team will
- 8:03lead their clients as well and be that leader for their
- 8:06clients. So it's just a different way of looking
- 8:10at everything. It's more of a heartfelt way of looking at everything. So
- 8:13if you haven't been running your business that way, amazing. Congratulations
- 8:18for even becoming aware about it now. How do
- 8:21we take steps to get your team enrolled? So
- 8:25the first thing to think about is when there is going to be a
- 8:28change in the business at all, especially when it comes to something like
- 8:32this, your team isn't going to trust you and
- 8:35they're going to think that you're doing things differently and they're going to question it. What
- 8:38you are going to need to provide to them is a level of safety. because
- 8:43they're just nervous about why you're changing. So
- 8:46and they're also nervous about why you're changing,
- 8:50but also nervous about is this going to be something that's long term
- 8:53or is this just another fleeting moment that you're going through and when
- 8:57you're over it, then you're done and dusted and you won't give a shit about them anymore. So
- 9:01it's up to you to really step in and consider whether this is
- 9:04something that you want long term. Do you want your business to thrive in
- 9:07this way? Do you want to be an ethical leader? Are you
- 9:10looking at the sustainability of your business long term? And do you
- 9:13want your team to be there long term as well? So
- 9:17some practical things that you can do within your team right now is,
- 9:22first of all, sit down with every single team member or
- 9:25you sit down with your manager and you get them to do it. But if you can,
- 9:29what would be optimal would be with you sit down with every single
- 9:32team member and you run through a series of questions. The
- 9:35questions would be along the lines of, First
- 9:39of all, thanking them for being in your business, thanking them
- 9:42so much for all the work that they do, thanking them for showing up, thinking
- 9:46of all the great things that they do in your business. Start with that
- 9:50level of respect and care to actually know what they do and
- 9:54know what they do well and honour them for that. This isn't
- 9:57about changing what they do well. It's about expanding on what
- 10:00they do well. This isn't about picking apart all the things that they do wrong. This
- 10:04is about expanding on what they do right. Right? So,
- 10:09knowing what they do really well, going in there and treating them with gratitude
- 10:12and respect. Second of all, asking them, what
- 10:16do you think this business is lacking? Remember, they've showed up
- 10:19every single day, besides their sickies, they've showed up every single day
- 10:23and they have got insights that you don't have. You
- 10:27want to get inside every single one of these team members' brains and figure out
- 10:30what they see and if there is any links
- 10:34that are missing in the chain that could benefit the business. So
- 10:38ask them, I'm really interested to know, what is it that
- 10:41you see in this business that you think could give us another edge
- 10:45or that you think would be positively impactful in the
- 10:48business? Then the third thing is you want to let them know Everything
- 10:52that we say in this room stays between us. There's going to be a
- 10:55new level of confidentiality between us. Everything that we say in here,
- 10:59it is literally just between you and I. I'm not going to
- 11:03go and share it with anybody else. It's just so that I can get insights
- 11:06into what's going on in this business, what's going to benefit you, what's
- 11:09going to benefit the team and how we can grow all together. So letting them
- 11:12know that there is this new level of security between you and them and
- 11:16the business. And that will just allow them over time, not
- 11:20straight away, because this is something that's going to take a bit of time to implement in
- 11:23your business. They need to see that they can trust you.
- 11:27They need to see that there is going to be confidentiality there. And they need to
- 11:30see that there's going to be small little changes, maybe not everything that they
- 11:33recommend, but that you're going to consider everything. Then
- 11:37you're going to want to ask them what they would
- 11:40really love in order to stay in this business long term.
- 11:45What are the hours that they want to do? What is the income
- 11:49that they want to bring in for themselves? And you can say to them,
- 11:52like, dream big on this, like the world is your oyster. So literally
- 11:56tell me everything that you desire and I will see if
- 11:59I can figure out how to get it into the business and into your
- 12:02daily life. Because believe me, you probably can. That's
- 12:06what incentives are for. And I'll talk about that soon. You
- 12:10also want to ask them, are they happy? Are they actually
- 12:13happy in the business? And what would make them
- 12:16happier? Don't always go on rabbit
- 12:20holes of trauma or anything that's going to take
- 12:23a long time to come out of because that can be detrimental
- 12:27to the time that you have. You want to be a really effective leader. Ask them what
- 12:30is going to make their time there happier and better and
- 12:34more fulfilling. What are the things that they really love? And if
- 12:37they were to have incentives in the business, What inspires
- 12:41them? So is it maybe more time off? Is it travel? Is
- 12:44it money? Is it spending more time with you? Is it community
- 12:48events? Is it going out for dinner? Is it whatever it is? Ask
- 12:52them what would make them happy as incentives for
- 12:55them to want to come to work more. And
- 12:59then if it is a staff member that does have a
- 13:02lot of time off or has sickies regularly, then
- 13:05you want to ask them, what would incentivise you to come to
- 13:09work more regularly? I know that you've got these health issues. I know that you've
- 13:12got these certain things. And what that presents to me is
- 13:15that there's something going on in the business that's not really aligning with you, that
- 13:19isn't, that's making you feel that you don't want
- 13:22to show up all the time or it's making you a little bit sick, is do you have any insights
- 13:25on that of what we can do to make it better for you? Because if they're a team member
- 13:29that you want to show up, get inside their head, get inside their body.
- 13:32That sounds terrible, but get inside what's going on with them and
- 13:37figure out a solution together so that it can help them come to
- 13:40work more. because even if they're like,
- 13:43they're probably seeing the benefits of this business and where it can
- 13:46go, but it's probably just not getting to the, not at the speed
- 13:50that they really want to work towards. So they feel like they're slowing themselves down
- 13:54and that's when illness and things can show up. So if you're on
- 13:57top of it and you're really aware of these things, then you can
- 14:00actually pre-predict them and you can start to create
- 14:04massive shifts with this. Now
- 14:07I want to give you an example around this because I did this with all of my teams and you
- 14:10know I had three businesses that were really in dire and then
- 14:13I turned them around to seven figures in short incremental times
- 14:17because I did this with every single one of my team members when I went in.
- 14:21I did this straight away. I'd also have a group meeting as well
- 14:24just letting them know that I am going to be sitting down with
- 14:27each one of them individually because I want to make
- 14:31this workplace as great as I possibly can for each
- 14:34and every one of them. And I'm also going to, I'd also let them know
- 14:38in the team meeting that I'm doing this because I want their
- 14:41lives to be better. And I'm also doing this because I hope that we can come together
- 14:45as a team a lot stronger and really have everybody's
- 14:49needs be met. Now, normally, like
- 14:52I had hairdressing salons, really successful hairdressing salons. But
- 14:56it's very common in hairdressing salons for people to have sick
- 15:00days often, for people to not show up, for people to only be there for
- 15:03very short amounts of time. So I really wanted to change that dramatically.
- 15:08And this is the approach that I had, and it worked tenfold.
- 15:13So what I got out of every single staff member, bar one,
- 15:16was I want to work less hours. I want a three day weekend. I
- 15:20want to get paid at least double or triple what I'm already getting
- 15:23paid. And I want travel
- 15:27included in there as well and more training. And I was like, Damn,
- 15:31okay, I'm going to figure this out. How am
- 15:35I going to give every single staff member a three-day weekend?
- 15:39You open the business longer, you have longer days. So they had two short
- 15:42days and two long days, and they got a three-day weekend every single weekend.
- 15:46How do you do that with a team? The business can't be closed three days. Exactly. So
- 15:50some people would have two days on and then a day off and two days on
- 15:53and then two days off. So it just depended, but everybody got
- 15:56this great roster and they were stoked. And then with the time off,
- 16:00I was like, you guys will continue to get this roster if
- 16:04you coordinate having any time off. So
- 16:07what I mean by that is, if you're going to be sick, you need to
- 16:10figure out somebody who's going to come in your place and work for
- 16:14you. So, they really worked together as a team. If there was somebody that was
- 16:17going to be sick, then they would organise for somebody else to take
- 16:20over their shift. So, I didn't even half the time have to get involved. So,
- 16:24this level of leadership allowed the delegation for
- 16:27my team to actually take control and be owners
- 16:31of their own business within my business. Now,
- 16:34the other thing, how did I get them from earning
- 16:38a base salon wage of $700 a
- 16:41week to earning four and five grand a week? each one
- 16:44of my senior staff members. I made their
- 16:48commissions next level ridiculous. So this
- 16:51is why they wanted to show up to work as well. They rarely had
- 16:54days off. Like there were people that never had a day off because they wanted
- 16:57to show up for those four days and smash it out to the best
- 17:01of their abilities because they knew that if they came to work, they
- 17:05were going to make four or five K rather than making $700 in a
- 17:08week. So they showed up. So I
- 17:12figured out how much money they would need to make in
- 17:15order for them to get these wages. That's
- 17:20more than 4 or 5x their wages, right? showed
- 17:24up, they wanted to be there. So, I would invite you
- 17:28to actually look at the growth that you're after in your business,
- 17:31what you actually want, and how your team, if
- 17:35they were going to be incentivised, what could you share with them
- 17:38so that your figures, your turnover, gets to that amount? That's what
- 17:42I did. I was like, I want my business in order for me to smash
- 17:45out all of these bills and pay off all this debt, because I bought the
- 17:48business with a lot of debt, in order to pay off all this debt,
- 17:52How much money do I need to be making each and every year to cover that
- 17:55debt, to make my own lifestyle what I want, and to be able to
- 17:58get my staff 5x their wages? How
- 18:02much money would I need to make? And so I figured out this much money, the money
- 18:05that we needed to make, and I invite you to do the same thing. figure out how much money
- 18:08you need to make and then divvy it up between what you want, your debts
- 18:12are, your expenses and what your staff want
- 18:15to earn as well. And then you'll actually come up with a figure and
- 18:18you share that figure with your team and you let them know this is
- 18:21what like after you've done all your meetings and you figure out everything that they want then
- 18:25you go back and you have another team meeting and you say guys I've spoken
- 18:28to each and every one of you now I know what each and every one of you want like Cindy
- 18:33wants to go on holidays, you know, Jonathan wants to
- 18:36go with his partner and buy a house. And then,
- 18:40you know, depending, this person wants to buy a car, that person wants to go overseas travel, that person
- 18:43wants to work a four day weekend, this person wants to have a month off in the
- 18:46middle of the year to go traveling in. Asia, whatever it
- 18:50is, you know exactly what each one of those people want
- 18:54and you're willing to give them what they want, right? So
- 18:57then you have a big team meeting, let them know, okay, cool, we know what everybody wants
- 19:00here. Now, this is the goal that we need to work on in order for
- 19:04us to achieve that goal of all of you guys being able to do this.
- 19:08But this is the bare minimum of what we need to achieve. So
- 19:11we need to think at least 50 or 20% higher
- 19:16than this figure, right? So the turnover we need is this, but
- 19:19we need to be setting our goal a lot higher than that. In case we don't
- 19:23succeed, we need a buffer area because we all know if you just aim
- 19:26for this figure, you're going to get below that. And that's why a lot of businesses
- 19:30and teams don't succeed because you've given them a low goal. You
- 19:33need to give them well above that so that they can exceed the goal, right?
- 19:37So give them this high goal that they can work towards And then as
- 19:40a team, you have weekly and monthly incentives to
- 19:43get there. And you look as the business owner, even
- 19:47if your manager will send you a report every week, but every
- 19:50week you look at those figures and you let everybody know how they're tracking.
- 19:54And then once you get into a flow with this, then you
- 19:57have a team meeting every day, right? This is what I did. I had a
- 20:00team meeting every day. All of my staff, I would pay them early, pay
- 20:04them to get into the business early so that they would go through their own
- 20:07columns and their figures and figure out how much they would need to do each day with
- 20:10the clients that they have in to be able to hit their goals every week. So
- 20:14in the mornings, they would run a meeting for me and they'd let me know, okay, this
- 20:17is what I'm going to be doing today, this person's coming in, they're going to do this, da-da-da-da, I'm
- 20:20going to upsell this, I'm going to do that, and then I'm going to book them in here, and then da-da-da-da-da. So
- 20:24they would run the business, the business meeting every morning for me and tell
- 20:27me what they were going to do in the business and how they were going to achieve it. So
- 20:31that's the level of leadership that you want, where you've delegated everything to
- 20:34these individuals so that they become so empowered and
- 20:38enrolled in your business that they're smashing it, that they're
- 20:41actually killing it, that they're teaching each other, oh, you're not going to hit your targets this
- 20:45week. And my team was so amazing. They'd be like, babe, you're not going to hit your targets this
- 20:48week. I'm smashing it. How about I give you some of these
- 20:52clients so then you can bring yourself up so that we can all win
- 20:55this week? Because that's how connected they were. Like,
- 20:58can you imagine having a team like that where they're willing to forgo some
- 21:02of their own commissions so that they can help out a mate?
- 21:05Like, it's so beautiful when people work that way together.
- 21:10Now, remember, I just had hairdressing salons, seven-figure
- 21:14hairdressing salons. But each and every year, I would figure out these
- 21:17different travel incentives that I could inspire my
- 21:20team with. So some of my teams were going to the UK,
- 21:24some of them were going to South Africa, some of them
- 21:27were going to places in Thailand, Germany. It just depended. I
- 21:30found the most fucking awesome trainings around the
- 21:34world where I'm like, How would you like to go to Germany this
- 21:37year to go to this huge Wella conference? It's like a multimillion dollar conference.
- 21:43Like, what? Like, give your
- 21:46team something where they're like, holy shit, I
- 21:51What? You're really willing to let me go there?" I'm
- 21:54like, yeah, absolutely. This is the path that I would like you
- 21:58to go down so that you can get to there. So I give
- 22:01them like incentives that they would need to hit each week in order to
- 22:04have their trip paid to Germany or
- 22:08London or America or wherever it is that they're going. And yes,
- 22:11they're hairdressers. I know that they're going to be pissed half the time, but they're going
- 22:14to have a great time and they're going to come back and tell everybody else about it. And
- 22:18all the other hairdressers in our company or even
- 22:21people overseas would be like, I really want to work for you. I really want to work for you
- 22:25in your business. I had salons in Sydney and I had people reaching
- 22:28out to me from the UK saying, I've heard about the kind of leader that you are. I
- 22:32want to come and work for you. I was like, yes, damn,
- 22:35let's go. So that's what you want. You want people to be
- 22:38able to find you out from your ethical leadership.
- 22:42Now, remember, I had seven-figure hairdressing salons, but my clients
- 22:46have been everybody from tradesmen. They have
- 22:49been people that have got online businesses, and I'm talking international businesses
- 22:53that are you have a hundred staff, you
- 22:56know, or more, you know, anywhere from multimillion to billion
- 23:00dollar businesses. So it's about, that's what I mean. If you're not going
- 23:03to, if your team is too big for you to actually do that, then you need
- 23:07to train your managers. So this is what you do with your managers and
- 23:10then they can go and filter it out with your team. It doesn't matter whether
- 23:13you're in wellness, health, wealth, finances, investment,
- 23:18property, real estate, it's irrelevant. Everybody can
- 23:21be incentivized. Even if they're factory workers, everybody can be
- 23:24incentivized because there's things that you're not currently looking at
- 23:28that are gaps in your business that your team would
- 23:31be frothing over, right? So allow
- 23:35yourself or your managers and your teams to be
- 23:38able to go and speak to each one of the staff members so that there is nobody
- 23:42that is lagging and is left behind in your business. Honestly,
- 23:47the changes that you will see in your business are tenfold. You
- 23:50can literally 510X your business without any more
- 23:54clients just by doing these meetings. I've
- 23:57seen it, and this is what I educate my clients on, is getting
- 24:01in and delegating and changing things up. from
- 24:05the bottom up, not from top-down approach. What I mean
- 24:08by the bottom up is working on every single team member. For
- 24:11me, we had even our trainees or our apprentices. I
- 24:15had hundreds of teenagers over 25 years that
- 24:19were generally people that were on a lot
- 24:22of drugs from really abusive families that were the
- 24:25most unsupported individuals that there were. I
- 24:29still would go in or get my managers to, as well, go
- 24:33in and educate these people on what their needs were. And their needs were never about money.
- 24:36Their needs were always about care, consideration, and
- 24:41personal growth, and just having a figure there that was able to support them
- 24:44and nurture them so that they could learn self-respect, so
- 24:48that they could learn self-worth, and really just learn
- 24:52to love themselves. So every team member is going to be completely different.
- 24:55And that's why I'm saying, don't leave anybody behind, because when you have this
- 24:59approach where everybody's important, then everything changes. And
- 25:03you've also got to remember that this is this, what's in your business is
- 25:07like its own little country, right? You're creating this, this
- 25:11little country and it creates its own frequency.
- 25:14The business has its own vibration and its own resonance that's
- 25:18going out there to the world. And you'll be surprised the clients that
- 25:21start to come in and they love the
- 25:25frequency, the vibration of your business. It
- 25:28doesn't matter what kind of business you have, whether you are mining gold, whether
- 25:32you have a construction company, whether you are a real estate
- 25:36agent, whether you have a brokerage firm, it's irrelevant. Every
- 25:40person needs to be treated like an individual and
- 25:43be respected. And you will see that. And they also need a
- 25:47plan of how they can grow within your business. Because once
- 25:50they have that growth mindset, they become open to expanding. And
- 25:54it's also so important for you to share what your great
- 25:58expectations are of them. So I would always say to my
- 26:01staff, this is like what you can do to just meet
- 26:04targets and I'll be okay with that. You know, you'll be able to cruise here.
- 26:08this is what you can do to exceed my expectations and I'll be stoked.
- 26:12And this is what you'll receive here. And I will be so grateful
- 26:16for that. And then you can go above and beyond and everybody is
- 26:20freaking winning next level. Like you get the overseas trips,
- 26:23you get to like, what is it that you need? I will help you have a three day work
- 26:27week, whatever it is that you can do within those hours,
- 26:31I will go above and beyond for you. So if you let them know
- 26:34what it is that, what it is that your expectations are, They
- 26:38will literally be like, hey Blythe, I'm really sorry, I'm having a cruise week this week because I
- 26:41had that sickie and, you know, it screwed me up. And it's like, but next week
- 26:44I will go and I will, so far, I will supersede
- 26:48what I've done this week. So don't worry about it. Like, your team will start to
- 26:51become open and flexible with you because you'll be open and flexible with
- 26:55them. Now, I also just want to point out the most important things
- 26:59that you can really make sure that you're landing all the time with your
- 27:03team is thinking about divine leadership,
- 27:07thinking about what divinity is. It's the combination between the masculine
- 27:10and the feminine, right? So thinking about what the feminine
- 27:14needs to be nurtured. It's safety. the
- 27:17feminine needs safety. So always allowing your team to know,
- 27:20and these elements are within every single one of your team member, letting them
- 27:23to know that there is safety, there is security there for them
- 27:28without them having to do and go and supersede all
- 27:31of the expectations, but letting them know that this is there. And
- 27:34the more they achieve in the business, then
- 27:38the more freedom they'll get. Because the freedom is the masculine. The
- 27:41masculine wants freedom and flexibility. So
- 27:44whilst the feminine wants the security, the masculine wants the freedom
- 27:48and the flexibility. Now it's about weaving those two together and
- 27:51then you create that real divinity within
- 27:55your leadership. And that's what's so important. And that's what your team wants.
- 27:58They want that flexibility and freedom and fun and playfulness with
- 28:02the security and knowing that they're able that there is going to be a job
- 28:05there for them. And letting them know that these
- 28:08things exist because of the work that they do. There is freedom
- 28:12and flexibility and security there because they are making
- 28:16such a great effort and because they are enrolled in
- 28:19your business. And when you are doing this, your team
- 28:23become 100% invested in your business. You are actually
- 28:26emotionally supporting their well-being whilst getting, whilst
- 28:31financially supporting them, whilst supporting their family, you
- 28:34are being a new earth leader. And this is what divine leadership
- 28:38is about. And this is what your team is requesting of you.
- 28:42Oh, and I also forgot to mention, with the ripples of
- 28:45the frequency of what your business is, I just want to give an example
- 28:49of this. Like we used to, my businesses are in the city, in Sydney, like literally
- 28:52Elizabeth Street, if you know, it's busiest area. next to Parliament House, next
- 28:55to all the law firms, the courthouses, all of that. And we were a
- 28:59hairdressing salon, right? But we would have people that
- 29:02were politicians, writers for Parliament, lawyers, doctors,
- 29:06plastic surgeons, all of these people coming into our business and they'd always
- 29:09come in and they'd be like, okay, I need to be out of here in like five minutes. I
- 29:13don't have that much time. I've got to do, do, do. And we had this little ritual that
- 29:16we would do. We'd be like, yep, no problem. Come over to the basin, we'll get you shampooed and
- 29:21give them like just a little grounding Whilst they're
- 29:24getting their hair washed, my team's job was to
- 29:27just land, ground in with the client,
- 29:31and just relax their nervous system, like the staff member, relax their
- 29:34nervous system, and just allow that energy to flow into the client. Anyway,
- 29:38so the client would be there for five minutes, and they'd be like, I'm going
- 29:43I don't actually know what you guys are doing here, but I feel really
- 29:46good now, and I'm just not going to go back to work. I'm just going
- 29:52You'd be like, oh my gosh. And people would say to us, they're like, what is this
- 29:55place? It's like this weird vortex where you come in
- 29:59all stressed out and then you just totally relax and chill.
- 30:02And it makes me just feel so at home and at peace here. And
- 30:07my clients with their businesses, whether it's a real estate agent,
- 30:10whether it's a banking firm, whether it's a investment company
- 30:14or a tradesman or a contracting business, It's irrelevant. It's
- 30:18about tuning into your body and calming and relaxing and
- 30:22just allowing that frequency to flow through you and it flows through
- 30:25your whole business and then it actually attracts more
- 30:29clients in because they're like, I don't know why I needed to reach out to
- 30:32you guys or call you guys. You just popped up. I've been walking past you for
- 30:35a while and I just felt really inspired to come and connect and
- 30:38say what it is that you do here. Because your vibration within
- 30:42your business and your team vibrating on that certain frequency or
- 30:46being, you being a new earth leader and your, your ethical leadership
- 30:50allows that ripple to go out into the world. And then your desired
- 30:54clients are actually magnetized towards you. So
- 30:58that is what I hope. you get from this podcast, how
- 31:02to be a new earth leader, changing the
- 31:05vibration within your business, allowing yourself
- 31:09to lead your team to their greatest potential
- 31:13within your business. If this has raised questions for
