“I freed a thousand slaves – I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” – Harriet Tubman
In the spirit of Harriet Tubman, I help liberate spiritual women entrepreneurs, executives, and changemakers to live their Soul’s Calling, step into Feminine Leadership, and share their unique gifts to transform businesses, organizations, communities, and the world as vibrant, creative, prosperous leaders. In doing so, they create a new paradigm of feminine power and an enduring legacy.
Freedom is a universal value. Everyone wants to be free from abuse, struggle, pain, or fear…free from circumstances that keep them stuck and unhappy…free to be and do our best; to pursue and fulfill our dreams, express our divine purpose, and make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
How did Harriet Tubman, an enslaved woman who loved her family and worked hard yet was abused as a young girl by multiple slave masters who never learned to read or write, ignite her enduring passion for freedom, freedom not only for herself but for others as well? Harriet escaped the plantation in Maryland, following the North Star to freedom, using the Underground Railroad, a system of Safe Houses established by Quakers, other whites, and free blacks, where run-away slaves could rest, eat and get instructions to continue their perilous escape to the North. She continued until she crossed the border between slave-holding and non-slaveholding states, making her way to Philadelphia, where she worked odd jobs for about a year, saving her money.
With freedom and compassion in her heart, Harriet returned to the South 19 times, freeing more than 300 enslaved people, including her siblings and her elderly parents. She became one of the most famous Conductors on the Underground Railroad.
“I never ran my train off the track, and I never lost a passenger.” ~ Harriet Tubman
- What qualities did she exemplify to transform her life and that of others?
- How can we learn from Harriet’s commitment and courage?
- In what ways can women and men develop creative, transformational, enduring leadership?
Harriet Tubman embodied several qualities. 3 of those qualities were: Vision, Faith, and Support
- Develop Your Vision – see in your heart and mind’s eye what you want to create, manifest or achieve. Seek to identify the ‘why’ of your vision. Allow the ‘why’ to be a guiding light and focus. Create a vision board or altar as a tangible reminder of your vision. Just as Harriet Tubman kept focused on freedom, using the North Star to guide her…What is your North Star?
- Cultivate Your Faith – Following your vision requires faith, tenacity, and stamina, beginning with an unwavering belief in yourself, trust in a Higher Power, and faith to follow the course, regardless of perceived or real obstacles. How are you demonstrating faith in your vision? Are you engaged in daily spiritual practices that strengthen your faith and trust?
- Build Your Team – No matter how talented, driven, or resourced, it’s essential to have a support system with which you can share the process, delegate certain facets and stay accountable. Is your current support system sufficient? Might you need a coach or guide to keep you accountable?
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ~ Harriet Tubman
