“You do not have to be good.
Mary Oliver – Wild Geese, 1986. Dream Work published by The Atlantic Monthly Press
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.”
Traditional leadership models frequently separate logic from emotion, structure from meaning, authority from vulnerability. You may have learned about different leadership models promoting psychological safety and vulnerability and yet work in an organisation that demands clarity, strategy, and decisiveness.
And so you are leading while experiencing this quiet tension.
We offer a structured way to remain empathetic without losing your authority. We call it humanistic magick and it is about integrating empathy and intuition without appearing unstructured or “soft”
Where You Might Be On The Integration Path
In leadership, the Path often unfolds like this:
Unseen Fragmentation: You perform well, but feel internally divided. Empathy feels risky. Intuition feels unprofessional. Emotional labour goes unseen.
Recognition: You begin to see that the tension you feel is misalignment. You recognise that authority and empathy need not be opposites.
Conscious Integration: This is why you’re here with us today. You want to examine how you make decisions, how you communicate, how you respond to conflict. You want to explore your unconscious leadership patterns, what influences these and introduce reflective structure.
Embodied Practise: You are now ready to create psychological safety for your teams intentionally. You are ready to hold your boundaries clearly. You are able to respond to conflict rather than react to conflict. You are ready to use empathy strategically.
Integrated Authority: You no longer feel split between performance and authenticity. Your leadership presence carries clarity and relational depth. Your influence becomes sustainable and you want to remain influential in this way.
How This Work Feels
