Are you looking to find your edge or return to your centre? The masculine strives to find competitive advantage, point of difference, unique selling proposition, first mover advantage. Its modus operandi is to stand up, stand out or stand apart. This search for self is often a lonely quest. It is in this mission that the masculine finds identity - an identity born largely of ego. The feminine doesn't strive for anything. It finds flow, creates networks, collaborates with like minded people. It finds synergies rather than differences. It finds ways of working together rather than standing apart. Our business language is rich with metaphors of this feminine energy - equal opportunity, fair go, parity, even playing field, shared vision, common goals, collaboration, equity share, win win outcomes, agreement, consensus, reconciliation, brainstorming ideas, team building, globalisation, open plan, flat structures, sustainable growth and profit share. Leadership is not the sole preserve of those appointed to positions of power and authority. As Warren Bennis observed many of those in power are bosses not leaders. Whether your motivation is to find your edge or return to your centre there is something to explore in The Rise of the Feminine. Ultimately both masculine and feminine energies come closer together and when they do we are free to explore the deeper and more purposeful realms of heart based consciousness. And for many of us this is our life's work.     Dennis is available for: - keynote speaking - executive coaching - business mentoring - advisory boards - interim management/ consulting  Dennis is based in Melbourne, Australia.
