The Power Of Being a Highly Sensitive Person
In the constantly changing and demanding arena of leadership and entrepreneurship, there is an increasing sense of overwhelm, of being stuck for what feels to be indefinable reasons. And for 20% of the world’s population it is more than just a sense. They are in fact a highly sensitive person – for whom the ‘traditional’ structures of career and business simply do not work
In this episode of the Raise 1000 Voices podcast, I share an exciting conversation about embracing the power of being a highly sensitive person with the Highly Sensitive Leadership Mentor, Heather Dominick.
Heather created the Highly Sensitive (entrepreneurs) and Leaders movement as a result of experiencing extreme burnout – questioning everything she was doing became the crucial moment she discovered she is a highly sensitive person. This led to the realisation that she needed a different approach to business and day-to-day experiences.
Navigating and then codifying how to do this, Heather launched the Highly Sensitive Revolution more than a decade ago believing the creation of a space which showed leaders and entrepreneurs how to the turn the shadows of being highly sensitive into their greatest strength would in fact unleash their superpowers.
Her global movement, community and clients have proven this to be true. With Heather’s expertise and heart for the highly sensitive she has lead the way in celebrating the highly sensitive being – and this is a conversation you do not want to miss
