Value of Leading as Love

Here is what people are saying about Leading as Love and its founder,
Lucira Jane Nebelung.

“The old paradigm of leadership worked well for the longest time, when the world was simpler, more stable and more predictable. As the world has globalized, gotten more complex, and much more non-linear, a new model of leadership has evolved that requires an integration of body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Leading as Love beautifully captures this evolution and provides concrete methods and cases that will guide conscious organizations into this more evolved way of leading.”

Judi Neal, Ph.D., Director of the Tyson Center for Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace, Sam M. Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas. Author of Edgewalkers: People and Organizations that Take Risks, Build Bridges and Break New Ground, www.edgewalkers.org.

“Leading and love together shocked me. It wasn’t until I looked at its underlying construct did I realize it is the essence of true leadership. All great leaders (famous or not) enlist the qualities at the base of Leading as Love. Success, outcomes and accomplishments are not the reason for leadership they are the byproduct of true leadership and therefore Leading as Love.”

Dave Perfetti, Chief Information Officer and Director, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Canada

“Values/purpose-based companies win over the long run—plain and simple. We need more open-hearted leaders like Lucira out there guiding our corporations back on course.”

Lawrence Ford, Founder and CEO, BlueOwl Stakeholder Relationship Management

“There is truth at the heart of Lucira’s message. As human beings, we all crave caring, understanding, respect, and belonging… and people gravitate to those who provide it.”

Andy Shaw, Executive Director, Canadian Blood Services 

“Lucira Jane brings substantial skill, knowledge, experience and character to her work. I hesitate to even use the term “work” since her consulting and teaching on leadership is itself an act of love. Clearly, this is her passion and she is one of the few people who can integrate concepts from diverse fields to offer a comprehensive yet practical approach to leadership development. LJ draws on personal experience in organizational settings, as well as a wide range of research and theoretical work related to developing and sustaining leaders. What a valuable resource for anyone concerned about the growing lack of leadership around us.”

John Madigan, President & CEO, Executive Talent Services, LLC

“Lucira Jane Nebelung is a woman and a consultant of abiding intelligence, generosity and integrity. She get’s it about what it means to serve and to make a real and lasting difference with the people she guides and leads and with friends and colleagues alike. Indeed, she not only writes and speaks about leadership as love, she lives it, she is it. Anyone (organization or individual) who has the opportunity to work with her, to learn from her, to be supported and coached by her, would be foolish to pass it up. She’s the real deal, perhaps even representing the future of organizational life.”

Cleve W. Stevens, Ph.D., President,  Owl Sight Intentions, Inc.

“In the years that I have known Lucira Jane, she has continually reached for and spoken her highest truth, while pursuing her own unique path. Her vision is broad and far-reaching.”

Kathy Molloy, Principal, ChangeWorks International

“Working with Lucira had a strong impact on both my personal and leadership development. Lucira took me on a journey to a deeper understanding of my core self and helped me understand how I impact others in my everyday interactions (either positively or negatively). She helped me answer the question: How do we help others achieve what we all look for – which is simply a validation of who we are?”

John Sestito, Principal, JEMTIA Consulting

“Lucira Jane brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to solving challenges in today’s complex world of work. At Liz Claiborne, Inc., Lucira led a team of cross-brand sales professionals in the design of a learning initiative to improve sales skills and results. With Lucira’s expertise and guidance in facilitated conversation, powerful questions and accountability agreements, the team developed action steps, milestones and metrics were developed. In the end, it was a development process designed by sales people for sales people that yielded 20% increase in sales results over one year….exactly the desired outcome!”

Elizabeth Selleck Hall, Former Group V.P., Liz Claiborne, Inc.

“Lucira Jane is an experienced professional with a deep and broad understanding of organizational life and leadership. At the same time, she has a beautifully developed appreciation for the humanity and spirit of people working in organizations. Her work helps to integrate the demands of organizations with the human desire to bring value while being valued, for accomplishment and satisfaction.”
