Heart Centered Leadership:
In Honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Derick Carter
Leadership Coach | Workplace Well-Being | Cultural Change Agent
In today’s changing world, many people are longing for workplaces where they feel valued, connected, and able to contribute with meaning. This is calling for a different kind of leadership — one rooted in care, authenticity, and our shared humanity.
Heart-Centered Leadership invites us to reconnect with the deeper part of ourselves — our heart — where qualities like peace, calmness, and happiness naturally arise. From this place, we can create environments that strengthen trust, support collaboration, and bring out the best in ourselves and others.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this session explores what it means to lead from love and from the higher qualities within each of us. Together, we will engage in simple, experiential practices to activate and strengthen the heart, followed by space for reflection and shared insights.
Learning Objectives
Participants will walk away with:
-
A gentle sense of relaxation and ease in the body.
-
A lived experience of heart-centered well-being
-
A felt understanding of why Heart-Centered Leadership can unlock new ways of working together.
