Want to lead with authenticity?
Authentic leadership is the outcome of an inner journey
Have you ever wondered about…
…the kind of leader you aspire to be?
…how your life experiences have shaped your leadership journey?
…how you can navigate the path of leadership, while staying true to yourself and embracing continuous growth?
Authentic leadership isn’t an endpoint; it’s a lifelong journey that begins within. This journey invites you to awaken your aspirations, explore your inner alignment, acknowledge your present truths and extend the attunement beyond yourself. Rooted in timeless wisdom, it echoes Shakespeare’s advice: ‘To thy own self be true’.
Modern management embraced the philosophy of authenticity after Bill George’s ground-breaking book, ‘Authentic Leadership’, in 2003. Today, authenticity stands as a foundational principle of leading with purpose & leading for impact, redefining how we approach leadership in our dynamic world.
Numerous studies affirm that authentic leadership isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the key to job satisfaction, commitment and workplace happiness. By embracing authenticity, you foster trust and engagement, and simultaneously, you embark on a personal journey of profound growth and fulfilment.
Dive into the depths of authenticity and equip yourself for your next level of leadership, in work and life.
There is always a next level.
Why embark on a journey around authentic leadership now?
You didn’t come this far to only come this far. But…What got you here will not get you there.
It is vital to understand that what got you to this point in your career or personal path may not be enough to take you further.
To keep evolving and reaching new heights, we often need to dig deeper into who we are and who we aspire to be. By embracing self-discovery and self-enhancement, you take the next significant step forward and find greater fulfilment along the way.
The beauty of a transformation lies in how it presents itself, often through your dissatisfaction with the current state.
All you need to do is acknowledge the signs and embark on your journey to the next level. To get unstuck, you need to start moving.
What might you be experiencing right now that indicates you are ready for the next level?
Frustration in Interactions: Frequent frustration or difficulties in your interactions with others, stemming from challenges in expressing your genuine self and connecting authentically, impacting your daily relationships.
Lack of Progress: Feeling like your sincere efforts are not yielding progress toward your goals, particularly those rooted in staying true to your values and principles, affecting your career or personal aspirations.
Feeling Disconnected: A growing sense of emotional distance between your actions and desired outcomes, leading to a feeling of being out of touch with yourself, impacting your overall well-being and leadership interactions.
Questioning Your Endeavours: Moments where you question the direction and alignment of your endeavours, raising doubts about your ability to lead with authenticity, affecting your sense of purpose.
Repeating Patterns: Recognising recurring behaviour or decision-making patterns that hinder your growth as a leader, making it challenging to break free and evolve, influencing the outlook of your long-term leadership journey.
Any or all of the above are just indicators that you are ready for your next leap.

LEAD WITH AUTHENTICITY – THE JOURNEY
From Personal Aspiration to Outward Authenticity
through Inner Alignment, Acknowledgement of Self and Attunement beyond Self
Awaking Aspiration
Awaking Aspiration
In the first module, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery to awaken your aspirations, both professionally and personally. This module is all about finding your true north and understanding the path from your current position to where you want to be. What is uniquely yours to do? From there, we will unravel the authentic choices to make and the actionable steps to take.
Exploring Inner Alignment
Exploring Inner Alignment
Module 2 focuses on the exploration of inner alignment as a prerequisite for authenticity. You will discover your unique blueprint of cognitive, emotional and intuitive understanding to allow for increased clarity, conviction and connection. This module offers practical tools and exercises to check and tune your inner alignment, while you move forward and progress on your aspirations.
Acknowledge the Here and Now
Acknowledge the Here and Now
In this module, you will learn to embrace your present reality, exploring what’s on your mind, what is in your heart and where your gut is directing you to. You will explore what needs acknowledgment and what might be repressed, shedding light on how these aspects impact your interactions and relationships. You will discover how to create more room to be truly you with the acknowledgement of yourself here and now.
Deepening Attunement
Deepening Attunement
Module 4 offers an exploration of attunement, both with yourself and with others. You will tune into your own wisdom to explore what needs to happen, and what needs to change for you. Attunement with others goes beyond surface-level interaction, as you learn to listen beyond facts and emotions to discover hidden dreams and common ground for genuine connection. From there, collaboration for impact has its foundation in intentional attunement and deep relatedness.
Radiating Authenticity
Radiating Authenticity
In this last module, you will dive into authenticity with an exploration of congruency, intentional interaction and trust. You will explore the nuances of emotional transparency and the 3 other elements of authentic leadership. You will discover what it means and requires to lead from your essence, and you will define what that essence is for you at this moment in your life and leadership.

When it comes to leadership transformation, most of my work is done with/for individuals with the financial means – or access to their employer’s financial resources – for premium coaching and transformative leadership development programs.
However, my belief in the value of leadership extends beyond corporate settings. It’s not limited to large corporations, but also applicable to scale-up leaders; it’s not exclusively for executives but valuable for middle management; and it’s not solely for career purposes but equally beneficial for your personal aspirations.
To make transformative leadership development accessible to a broader audience in terms of affordability and convenience, I created the LeadershipIQ Academy.
Within the LeadershipIQ Academy, you will find self-development journeys that offer a treasure trove of profound insights, ideas and inspiration. These journeys are designed for individuals who prefer a self-paced and self-guided approach, eliminating the need for direct coaching or facilitation.
If you’re interested in exploring my other offerings, please visit www.mirandaberkhof.com or feel free to contact me at contact@mirandaberkhof.com or via phone at +31628747684. I’m happy to help you discover the right path for your personal and professional development.
Many employers offer reimbursement options for expenses related to learning and development, based on a personal budget or after approval by your manager.
To reimburse the investment in yourself with your employer, you often need a Purchase Order Number (or any other reference) to track your invoice through the finance system of your organisation. If you indicate the required reference as ‘other details’ during the check-out process, these details will be displayed on your invoice.
Access to your selected journey(s) will be granted after payment. You can start immediately with the course and you will receive your invoice a few minutes after for a fast reimbursement of your investment.
This journey is designed as an individual experience, allowing yourself to delve into personal growth and leadership development.
While your entire team can certainly embark on this journey individually, you can consider to combine it with regular check-ins or conversations about experiences, learnings and application. This way you extend the individual learning journey into a collective leadership experience. Please note that everyone needs to gain access individually and will work through the content on their own pace.
You can also explore the option of a custom, in-person team journey. Such a program would be tailored to your team’s unique situation, addressing the specific shifts and outcomes you aspire to achieve together. My only criteria for working with a team is that there is a transformation required or requested, and everyone in the team agrees on the transformational nature of this phase for the team.
If you are interested in this customized team journey, please feel free to reach out to explore how we can create a program that perfectly aligns with your team’s aspired transformation.
