Lead with your Heart

​I have a networking group called Women Empowering Women networking.  The last Wednesday of each month I have a meeting where I create a space for women to network, learn and be part of a community. 
 
It’s a group that I have been working on for the past 3 years now.  My tribe has grown, and it has taught me so much.
 
This past summer, it clicked for me.  I needed to step up my game with WEW and so I did.  I started by taking control of the meeting.  I gave examples for women to visualize and implement.  I provided education that they needed now to help them grow their business.  I created a space where they could network and learn more about each other.  I showed them how to lead with your heart.  And in turn they showed me right back.
 
During our December meeting the women of WEW surprised me with flowers, a basket of goodies and a gift certificate to a spa.  I was totally surprised and taken back a bit.  They showed me that they appreciated all the hard work I was doing to provide them with the tools and tips they needed.  It continues to light me up each and every time I think about it. 
 
I am now creating a fun project with all the special messages that were written in dozens of cards I received so it can be a reminder of why I do what I do.
 
I love being a business coach and I love being surrounded by so many awesome women.
 
It’s amazing what happens when you lead with your heart!

I would love to hear how you lead with your heart.  What did you learn when you did?
