Many of us think that we are naturally born self-leaders. After all, we are in charge of our own eating, sleeping, and hygienic care for example, but what most of us don’t realize is that we are also 100% responsible for creating the lives we want to be living. No body, and no thing is responsible for our circumstances, and yet we often become marionettes responding to the people, objects, and events around us. We react to the world, rather than create the life we want to live.

The Yew Leaf Self Leadership Program is based on the beliefs that true leadership is rooted in well being, self development expands self leadership, and self leadership takes practice. If there is something not right in your life you will know it, but what will you do about it?

This assessment measures dominant personality characteristics, indicating where you land today on the The Yew Leaf self leadership scale. Have a look and see for yourself!

On the Way

Congratulations, you are on the road to self leadership but there is some distance to travel yet! If you scored accurately, you will know that when we are peaceful we have more resources available to us because our minds and emotions are free to perform at peak level. You may be aware that we don’t have to spend time in a cycle of mental acrobatics attempting to control the circumstances or people in our lives. You may have developed a healthy level of detachment which involves present moment living and a letting go of the agony of involvement in surrounding influences. The reward is a deep sense of inner peace, the ability to give and receive in empowering ways, and the freedom to live a self-ful and successful life! Self leadership does not mean we don’t care; it means we love, care, and are involved without losing our own self-direction. Congratulations again, you are on the road to taking responsibility for your life. Let me help you arrive at your destination faster than you would on your own!

Untapped Potential

Congratulations on raising your awareness about your call toward sustaining a stronger sense of self-direction! If you scored accurately, you are familiar with the negative feelings associated with trying to do the impossible: control our external environment. We grow estranged from our power in our own lives when we begin to allow others to determine (either directly or indirectly) when we will be happy, sad, and what we will say and do. It is not our responsibility to resolve problems in the outside world. It is our responsibility to resolve our own inner unease. The path to self leadership helps us to keep our hands off other people’s responsibilities and to tend to our own instead. It allows people to be who they are, and gives ourselves that same freedom. Self leadership helps us to create the life we want to be living through re-aligning with our inner being. Let me help you reach your goals and resolve your problems through the magic of self leadership!

Congratulations on the willingness to enhance your awareness about self leadership. Despite the circumstances and experiences in your life, at the core of your being you have the natural, innate ability to be a true self leader and it is time to let yourself shine! If you scored accurately, you know first hand that when we are least in alignment with our inner core, our emotions and behaviours are controlled (and triggered) by people, things, and circumstances in our environment. We indirectly allow externalities to dictate how we feel and how we live our lives. By “taking control” we actually relinquish control over our own lives because taking control in this sense means putting your energy, focus, and attention on external validation instead of on your own well being. Let me help you to reclaim your self-direction, and to start caring for it, and you, again.
