An Insightful Journey Into Leadership On Leadership … with Christien Oudshoorn

I recently came across this beautiful little video of Christien Oudshoorn sharing her perspective on the challenges and essence of leadership today. In it, she emphasizes the importance of slowing down and disconnecting from external pressures to truly connect with others and ourselves.

Christien highlights four key relationships that leaders must cultivate: with oneself, with others through empathy, with one’s communities, and with the ever-changing unknown. She challenges narrow societal definitions of success and instead focuses on recognizing and empowering the inherent leadership potential in everyone, especially youth.

Christien invites us to bring greater intention and appreciation to the leadership process rather than fixating solely on outcomes. Her insights offer a thoughtful look at what it means to lead in a complex world.
