How are you showing up during the COVID-19 crisis? Are you simply reacting to your thoughts and feelings as they come up? Or are you acting with intention? The world needs you and your leadership, now more than ever. Will you rise to the occasion?

Today on Women’s Empowerment School, Sylvia walks us through the three critical aspects of leading through a crisis—presence, intentionality and service. She discusses our tendency to regress or retreat in difficult times, challenging us to examine the way we are showing up right now and ask ourselves if our actions align with our sense of integrity.

Sylvia describes the collective grief and loss of freedom we are all experiencing but reminds us that true leadership requires conscious intention and a commitment to our goals—no matter the circumstances. Listen in to understand why service to others is a crucial facet of leading in a crisis and learn what YOU can do to identify and share your much-needed gifts with the world.
