Episode #50: Marie Reig Florensa – Lean Towards Love and Lead from the Heart

Heart-based leadership is an approach to solving problems, building relationships and creating flow that expert practitioner Marie Reig Florensa uses to transform individuals, teams and organisations. In this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, Marie describes how, during 15 years as a producer on live television shows, she became adept at living in the moment and honed her intuition as she navigated the “big live opera” of broadcasting. Marie shares her journey of self discovery and how she came to recognise the intangible factors – aspirations, emotions, imaginations – that quietly drive our experiences and shape our lives. She also shares a precious technique that you can start using today to unlock your own ability to lead from the heart, follow your intuition and be at your best.  In this episode, we talk about: How we feed our imagination, and thus shape the world How to harness discomfort and drive yourself forward The real uniqueness of our own authenticity Turning to ancient indigenous cultures for insight into human nature How to follow your curiosity towards beautiful gifts Marie reflects on the transition from being a creative problem solver to becoming a facilitator of regenerative spaces, describing the principles that lie at the heart of her revolutionary work.
