Here’s a Sample of the “Exploring Yourself as a Leader” Guided Meditation Script:
Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle into a comfortable position (2 seconds).
You may close your eyes or keep them slightly open allowing the spine to lift, the
shoulders to soften (10 seconds).
Today we will explore leading with purpose (5 seconds).
Regardless of your position,
whether in an organization or a family you are called on to lead at some point.
The best leaders have a sense of clarity and purpose
and how they engage with the world and in how they lead others (2 seconds).
They connect with people in a very human level (10 seconds).
Begin by taking a full breath in (2 seconds)
and a long breath out (10 seconds).
Letting your attention rest on the breath (15 seconds).
I’m now going to ask you a series of questions
but instead of thinking about the questions or coming up with responses,
I want you to allow the questions to just sink in like pebbles being dropped into a still pond and I want you to be sensitive to any ripples that you notice
(10 seconds).
As a leader what is most important to you? (20 seconds).
What are you aiming to achieve as a leader? (20 seconds).
As I ask these questions,
just noticing the thoughts, feelings, and images that come to mind (2 seconds)
as you breathe in and as you breathe out (15 seconds).
What are the values that guide you (30 seconds).
