I have been profoundly changed by my work with Dr. Nader. When we began our work together, I found myself in a leadership position after huge organizational rupture and change. I knew I needed support, but was stuck in the role of victim, and wanting to talk about what had happened to me. I knew I needed to step into the role of leader in a new way, but was completely unsure how to do that. I wanted to bring healing to our community, but wasn't ready to heal from the situation myself. I wanted to be able to listen and connect across difference skillfully, but I was feeling directionless, disconnected, and anxious. Through our work together, I found my voice, not only as a leader, but I experienced a profound healing within myself. With tangible homework assignments, exercises for reflection, and being challenged, I find myself two months later trusting in my ability to show up for the task at hand. I was able to stay with my experience, how I was co-creating an unhealthy dynamic in our organization by not using my voice. Dr. Nader helped me to realize that I have fun ownership of how I show up as a leader. I must take responsibility. I have a powerful voice. I felt fully supported by this work and also broken completely open to that which no longer served me. I felt stuck and I regained my connection to myself and have since been able to see things from a new perspective that I did not think was possible when we first started working together. I feel more clarity, more tolerance for discomfort, more trust in myself, more flexible in my leadership, and like I've actually gone to the place I want others to go as well. I needed to get out of my own way but I didn't even know HOW I was in my own way. Beginning our work, I was in a very vulnerable place where something precious and transformational could really happen. And it did. I have experienced transformation. Do yourself a huge favor and work with Dr. Nader.
