Hear Nina discuss:

• \\u201cWe are in a paradigm shift from an \\u2018I\\u2019 culture to a \\u2018we\\u2019 culture.\\u201d \\u201cWe are collectively co-creating a new world.\\u201d
• \\u201cThe Earth needs us all to be leaders now.\\u201d And hierarchical models of leadership won\\u2019t provide the restoration that is needed.
• Her experience of redefining leadership as non-hierarchical and collaborative so that it became a role she could accept. What humans and Earth need is a \\u201cfull-spectrum leadership\\u201d that departs from patriarchal values and instead values both feminine and masculine strengths and contributions. This leadership honors bodily and emotional wisdom as much as rational thought.
• We need to recognize that vital forms of leadership include parenting, art-making, teaching\\u2026\\u201dThere are probably as many expressions of leadership as we are human beings.\\u201d
• \\u201cThe most inspiring leaders I know are those that can show up with vulnerability and not knowing, turn to each other for help, and exercise what I call relational intelligence. They\\u2019re helping create a culture where transformation is possible.\\u201d We all become leaders by supporting these skills in ourselves and others.
• Our whole culture is up for review and renewal. We need to nurture this within models of regeneration, not depletion of self, others, and our planet. \\u201cIt\\u2019s not really our power we\\u2019re reclaiming, it\\u2019s actually the power of life\\u2019s energy coming through us.\\u201d
