A Shaman is “One who sees in the Dark”. They know how to sit in the “still moments”, tune into their soul, their higher selves and bring forth vital information from the other side. They say this is where the “genius” resides.
Many successful business or business idea has been born this way.
In ancient times the Shamans in the community, known as the seers or the visionaries, were held in great respect. They were the wisdom keepers, the teachers, the healers, the community leaders and storytellers. The whole community would rely on them for a problem to be solved, a person to be healed, or a ceremony to be performed to protect their people or the land.
A GREAT Leader or Strategist in today’s business jungle has exactly the same role to play. They make their mark, are one step ahead of the competition and earn the respect of the wider community as they use their intuition and connect with their “Inner Shaman” on a daily basis.
Understanding the “Way of the Shaman” can heighten a leader’s ability to perform miracles in this dynamic business world we live in today.
Power is Potential. Shamans developed an acute awareness of themselves, their people and their environment. They were able to read the blueprint of an individual and a space. Most importantly, they knew how to harness their OWN POWER. Not only how to harness it, but in what direction to focus and direct it. A great leader does this naturally and has a special way of empowering and teaching people.
A Leader or Strategist is often asked to predict an outcome in business – just like the Shamans were asked to peer into the future and predict an outcome.
TThey would enter an altered state and commune with the spirit world to do this. In today’s world, many of our top leaders and strategists practice the art of meditation as the first step towards the same results. This allows them to see clearly, access their inner strength, guidance and creativity. Regular meditation equips them with the tools to organically restore, invent or reinvent a business or an aspect of a business. Some of the top Leaders and Strategists credit meditation in taking them from ordinary to extraordinary.
Shamans are renowned for their “Soul Retrieval” work. They can read the “soul” and determine what Shamanic Power is to enter the deep levels of awareness, perceive secrets, remove obstacles and make a difference according to will and intent. Ultimately it is to “Shape shift” – to transmute and transfigure something into a whole new form.

I absolutely believe many of our Great Leaders and Strategists are Modern Day Shamans. They may not realise the extent of the depth or the origins of their knowing.
