Does the Hero’s Journey End? Claiming Your Truth & Power
December 2021
If you’ve been following us for the past several months, you know this is a big day: the final step in the Hero’s Journey: claiming your truth and power.
Claiming your truth and power is – in many ways – more of a beginning than an end. As you go forward with the confidence and courage gained from your journey, you’ll find that new challenges will arise. A significant part of claiming your truth and power is in allowing yourself to be vulnerable to these new challenges. To lean in to the learning and insight these new challenges may bring.
As we’ve said before, in this final stage, the hero returns with a new truth AND the power to help others with this truth. It’s not about speaking truth to power; it’s not about having power over another…it’s about power from within, and the courage to claim that power. Knowing what is true and right in your own world, and living into that truth.
You’re stronger now, wiser - and the personal truths that you uncovered on your journey will allow you to face these new challenges with clarity on the values and skills you’ve gained as a result. And we can look forward to the next call to adventure.
Do You Find Yourself in a Mentor Role?
In the 1898 Christmas edition of The British Weekly, Ian Maclaren wrote, “Be pitiful, for every man is fighting a hard battle.” Today, as in the 1800’s, empathy and emotional intelligence go a long way. There’s an art to offering empathy while also drawing out the best and boldest in others.
To help you develop that art, we offer several resources from the Nova team of experienced executive coaches:
Leadership Coaching: Experience what it’s like to have the extraordinary support of your own executive coach. So many of our clients are doing deep transformational work with an impact to their personal and professional lives. Reach out to Kathleen or Lisa to discuss how 1x1 coaching can help you chart your path to purpose.
Nova Mastermind: In our Masterminds, we work with leaders to explore aspirations and overcome obstacles. This small group cohort experience is based on the Hero’s Journey, which is both personal and universal; timeless and timely. Our process inspires new ways of thinking to create new ways of being.
