TEACHINGS

• The Awakened Leader: Leadership as a Classroom of the Soul
  

  The second book in Susan Trout's Soul and Service Trilogy, The Awakened Leader envisions an unparalleled era of conscious leaders able to balance the virtues of heart and mind, spirit and matter, and feminine and masculine while working with shadow issues and maintaining right relations with those they lead.  

• Living a Soul-Inspired Life ~ Discerning the Essential from the Nonessential
  Discerning the essential from the nonessential helps us be aware of the impact of our thoughts and decisions, how we develop and sustain a meaningful and loving life, and how we connect and relate to others.

A leader is someone you choose to follow to a place you wouldn’t go to
by yourself.

  The Inner Leader guides leaders in their soul development and supports them in being self-responsible. Experiencing a leadership crisis is often the event that sets leaders upon a spiritual path connecting with their Soul.

To lead well
is a soul matter.
