The Four Cornerstones of Leading and Living with Purpose and Mission

Posted on March 27, 2024 by Andrea Altier, One of Thousands of Leadership Coaches on Noomii.

Imagine waking up every day feeling energised, aligned, and excited about your direction. This is not just a dream – it is a possibility within reach with the Conscious Leadership Model, this offers a clear path to transform not just how you lead, but how you live.

Why This Model?
My journey in life is marked by early challenges and experiences as a latina and first generation refugee in Norway. This has deeply influenced my understanding of identity, belonging and change. I have later in life realised the profound impact our backgrounds have on us both personally and professionally.

Discovering the power of conscious living and leading has been a gamechanger for me and helped me understand that the way we lead or live is not about the permission of others, a label, a title or following a certain path. It is about choice, radical self-responsibility, awareness, and empathy. These are qualities that we can all live by and that helps us to influence in meaningful ways.

Consciousness, to me is about being true to ourselves. It is about understanding our stories, recognising our choices, and connecting to a larger purpose. It is about seeing new possibilities where all you could see were closed doors.

This insight is universal and a journey we can all choose to step into, but I noticed often times, in coaching, my clients also wanted a guide and kept asking the question; but how? what are the steps? what do I need to do?

It is important for me to differentiate between teaching and coaching, that is why I use a combined approach with online self-paced tools which clients work on in between sessions. For some, a guide is needed, to avoid feeling lost, this is one of the reasons why I created the Conscious Leadership Model.

What is the Conscious Leadership Model?

I have created a holistic and integrated approach to self-development and growth, which includes all aspects of my skills and knowledge so that I can help and support based on what is needed. That is why this model is inspired by Integral Theory, Potential Psychology and strategies for achieving Agility, it is a reflection of real-life applications and experiences from digital transformations, leadership and life challenges experienced in coaching.

It is a model I use in my coaching that highlights your next steps and helps you to connect, increase your self-awareness and understand what is currently influencing you. It serves as a guide that support you in your self-development process so that you can recognise where you are in your process and work your way through it step by step.

It helps you to navigate both the inner and outer dimensions of personal and professional growth. The model is built on four essential cornerstones:

1. Know Yourself Through Self-Discovery
2. Be Real by Being Authentically You
3. Deliver Value by Giving More Of What is Needed
4. Influence effortlessly Through Real Connections@

These cornerstones describes the essence of the process I use and guide you through as part of my coaching. And the best part is that is works on all levels; personal, professional, entrepreneurial or organisational.
