Sensitive People in Business

You might be interested in this work if you relate to any of these:

What the work is not:

It is not about thin-skinned people and how they should get over it!

It is not about improving yourself to the point where you stop sensing other people’s emotions.

It is not about discussing early childhood and fixing thought patterns.

It is not about theory that might be interesting…if you had time on your hands.

What the work is:

It is about realizing that sensitives – defined as people who are affected more than average by their environment including people’s reactions and emotions – represent 20% of the population and have enormous gifts to offer, but live in a culture that is particularly difficult on their nature.

It is about profoundly valuing sensitives’ ability to “sense” what’s going on around them.

It is about finding out what works and what doesn’t, and using that knowledge to create a sensitive-friendly, sensitive-powered business.

It is about allowing sensitives to flourish and be the leaders that the world so needs now.

Why I decided to do this work:

It won’t come as a surprise to you if I tell you that I’m a highly sensitive person myself.

But it might come as a surprise to lots of people who know me, especially those who experienced me in my corporate management days, or as a business educator.  I looked like I was a well-adjusted, high-performing professional.

Hah! I had built up a crust that was quite convincing, but sure paid the price for it.

As a highly sensitive and empathic person, I found myself puzzled most of my life about I really felt, wanted, or was (after having learned what I now know, I can see why). In my case, learning at school was easy so that’s what I focused on, and that carried forward to being a hard worker in my profession.

My outsides did not match my insides; can you relate? One incident comes to mind; I was given some personality tests and was told that I was on the low end of empathy; me, the bleeding heart who despaired over people’s or animals’ pain! Just goes to show you how we sensitives often adopt a false persona that we think will make us fit in or succeed.

By the end of my corporate career, I had matured enough to be known as a trustworthy, caring manager, but I was totally drained because of my environment, and because I was not doing work that suited my personality, my soul’s yearnings, and my life purpose.

I said for years that I would love to have my own business that would suit my temperament, but I had no idea what that would look like.

Well…now I know; I’m a heart-based, spiritually-oriented entrepreneur. And part of my business involves carrying through with one mission that has been trotting in my head for years. One of the things I’m here to do is:

“To help the meek inherit the earth”.

Meek = gentle, treating people how we want to be treated because we know how they feel.

Meek does NOT mean weak, passive, or submissive. Not in my book. Not on my turf. And not in my world. Never again if I can help it.

And I can, which is what this work is about.

Specifically, what are we going to do?

The first step is a series of recorded interviews on how to maximize the gifts of sensitive natures and minimizing the challenges.

Those start Sept 23rd, and I will be advising you of the dates and topics if you’ve given me your name and e-mail address in the box at the top right corner.

There will be many more steps, but that’s a start.
