Leader One woman did just this after a chance encounter with a homeless © 2020 GEI Global Leaders man while riding a commuter rail on the East Coast of the United States. livingasagloballeader.com The man—who appeared disheveled and smelled of poor hygiene— asked the woman a simple question: “What do you do?” The woman responded that she worked in the management consulting industry, helping companies to grow. The man looked at her with shock and said: “How do you reconcile that with the fact that you’re a humanitarian and philanthropist?” The woman, dumbfounded by the stranger’s reply, had no answer. Soon after, the man departed the train. The woman continued to search for the meaning of her life: traveling, talking to many people, trying new approaches. And then, not long after her encounter with the stranger on the train, she began forming a business based on her vision for a new type of leader and a new type of organization. The vision was holistic and revolutionary. The woman’s entire life began to transform as she took her vision and message to the world. Despite missteps, stumbles, and a fall into the Pit of Despair, she continued. She learned to live her vision and began to fulfill her potential by helping others. In doing so, she became a humanitarian and philanthropist, living a life beyond her wildest dreams. The Stinky Man had catalyzed her path to fulfillment. And her inspirations, insights, and scholarly research about leadership for the future are some of what you will be learning in this guidebook. 3

Principle No. 1  THE POWER OF INTENTION 23 Principle 1: I and everyone has the ability to become a Global Leader simply by declaring to be one, and then acting from that place of being. Principle 1 focuses the power of intention to help you create your life. Intention is a “Super Goal” that harnesses the energies of your mind, body, emotions, and core values and beliefs to help you to reach your potential. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader

Do you seek personal  Start by getting clear fulfillment? about your Intentions. Do you yearn to flow with your potential, becoming more adaptive and agile? Do you want to act as a Global Leader at work, at home, and in your community? 24 © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader

Reflect: What 25 purpose do I serve through my actions? Intention is an aspiration that arises directly from your heart. An intention is something you feel deep inside you before you have an actual conscious thought. The clearer your intentions, the more purposeful your interactions. Operating from intention makes your life the most efficient and effective it can be. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader

“Purpose, passion, and ” Emotional Intelligence drive global leaders. ―GEI GLOBAL LEADERS With clear intention, you can align more easily to your purpose and passion, thus increasing your capacity for service to others. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders 26 www.livingasagloballeader

Principle No. 2  THE GENIUS MIND I honor the spirit in all people—their gifts, skills, and energy. Principle 2 taps into the power of the genius that resides within everyone. Each one of us has unique gifts and energies that can be developed and expressed. We tap into our genius mind when we learn to integrate the functions of both our right brain and left brain. As a result, a new form of creativity flows through you. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders 27 www.livingasagloballeader

As you synchronize your brain hemispheres, you find your brilliance. You connect to an expanded source of intuitive knowing, and you take immediate action on that knowing. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader

“Service in a global economy requires us to open to our spontaneous, genius selves. ”―GEI GLOBAL LEADERS With your genius mind, you act on your uniqueness and your unique gifts. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders 30 www.livingasagloballeader

Principle No. 3  BALANCED EXCHANGE 31 I understand that leadership is an equal giving and receiving proposition. Principle 3 helps us learn to balance our relationships. By understanding that leadership is a balanced exchange that is constantly evolving through a dynamic flow, we remove barriers that make us interact in fearful ways. In a balanced partnership, we can create something more with others than we could create on our own. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader

Are your relationships interdependent? Does your life flow?  Strive for your highest level of performance. Do you want to act as a Global Leader at work, at home, and in your community? © 2020 GEI Global Leaders 32 www.livingasagloballeader

Reflect: How can I tap 33 into a more inclusive perspective? Balanced exchange is an interdependent relationship that you form with others. This exchange allows the power in an interaction to be held equally and fully by everyone. The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Balanced exchange creates struggle-free dynamics. Individuals and teams are free to strive for the highest levels of performance. © 2020 GEI Global Leaders www.livingasagloballeader
