Our guest in today's podcast is Natasha Dalmia, management consultant, international coach, and author of "Practice of Satsang".
Sat' means truth and 'Sanga' means company. Satsang is an old Sanskrit word meaning 'being with the truth', and 'gathering together to find the truth'. In this book, she explores how conscious living enables us to celebrate the truth of who we are.
As an authentic leader, being connected with your soul, with who you are, makes it easier to communicate with others and see them for who they are.
Clarity of vision, of one's life purpose, is possible when we have clarity about who we are and what matters for us in life.
What is it that we want to celebrate at the end of life?
To explore this life-shaping question and generally to make good quality decisions it is necessary to develop an awareness of Lower and Higher consciousness.
The quality of answers depends significantly on which level of consciousness we will be in when we contemplate these questions.
Being in balance and consistency in our inner and outer world are of great help to leaders and for a good life in general.
Balancing giving and receiving for example or being aware of the destructive power of negative thinking and balancing it with more positive perspectives is essential to our overall well-being.
Awareness is the key, and then one's consciousness and inner truth determine the quality of choices and decisions.
Inner truth as the foundation of one's decisions is a cornerstone of great leadership.
Slowing down to return to balance and implement consistency, to inquire the level of consciousness one is at, will help in creating the right space for impacting answers to questions such as:
What is the goal? What is the direction to take? What legacy do I/we leave behind? What is necessary for the people who work for us?
Natasha then shares how the Soul-Inspired-Leadership card has helped her to shift her perspective from individual to team appreciation. She became aware of a feeling of gratitude for the accomplishments of the team and this shift in perspective was an invitation to discuss the future journey and legacy that they want to leave behind as a team.
Asking ourselves what we are truly grateful for and asking this question, again and again, is an invitation to peel one layer after the other in self-inquiry. Using the same question to dig deeper, is a handy tool for coaches and those who work on themselves to leave the surface answers behind and get to the core issues and one’s truth.
