Resources
The right tool at the right time can spark reflection, shift perspective, or unlock a new way forward. Our From the Heart resources are designed to be practical, simple to use, and thought-provoking — from self-assessments and checklists to reflection guides you can return to again and again. Explore, download, and put them to work in your own life and leadership.
01
Energy Audit for Leaders
Leadership takes energy — but not all energy is created equal. The Energy Audit for Leaders helps you take a clear look at where your energy is going, what drains you, and what restores you. It’s a simple reflection tool designed to highlight the balance between your physical, emotional, mental, and relational energy, so you can lead with clarity and resilience instead of running on empty.
02
The HEART of Leadership
Self Assessment
Great leadership begins with self-awareness. The HEART of Leadership Self-Assessment gives you a quick snapshot of where you are across five dimensions — Helpless, Exploring, Awareness, Responsibility, and Transformed. It isn’t a test with right or wrong answers, but a mirror that reflects how you currently lead and where you might want to grow. Use it as a starting point for honest reflection and as a guide to your next step.
03
Courageous Conversation Checklist
Some of the most important conversations are the ones we’d rather avoid. The Courageous Conversation Checklist gives you a simple way to prepare — helping you clarify your purpose, frame your message, and stay grounded in respect while addressing the tough stuff. It’s not about winning an argument, but about creating space for honesty, trust, and real change.
04
Leadership in One Word
If you had to capture your leadership in a single word, what would it be? This reflective exercise challenges you to strip back the jargon and focus on the essence of how you lead. It’s a deceptively simple tool that sparks self-awareness and invites meaningful conversation with colleagues, teams, or fellow leaders — because sometimes one word says more than a dozen strategies.
These resources are just the beginning. Members of the Authentic Leadership Hub gain access to a wider collection of tools, guides and conversations designed to take their leadership further. If you’d like to go deeper and be part of a community that values reflection, courage and authenticity, you can apply to join the group.
