Leadership beyond the workplace
Leadership is not a hat we put on.
It's a way we show up; everywhere.
The Five Domains of Intentional Leadership
Authentic leadership integrates across every context. These five domains represent where leadership lives and grows.
Authentic leadership integrates
The executives I work with often discover that their greatest leadership challenges aren't technical or strategic; they're about integration.
How do you show up with the same values and presence whether you're in the boardroom, at the dinner table, or in your community?
Leadership that works is leadership that's lived everywhere.
Demonstrating leadership in the community domain
As part of my belief in the five domains of intentional leadership, I've chosen to actively lead within the community domain by mentoring over 1,000 unemployed individuals seeking to create their own employment opportunities through entrepreneurship.
This isn't about giving back; it's about showing up as a leader where leadership is needed most.

Leadership shouldn't just be a workplace thing
It's always so good to have my meetings with Phillip and hear some more pearls of wisdom from him.
Whenever I am in need of some inspiration, coaching or just a general shake up, he never fails to make my jaw drop with his insights and advice.
I can't imagine my business being what it is today without his input and guidance.

Leadership without walls
The leaders I most respect don't have a ‘work self’ and a ‘home self’. They have one self, lived with intention across every context.
They bring the same curiosity to a difficult conversation with their teenager as they do to a challenging board meeting. The same presence to a community project as they bring to a strategic planning session.
This integration isn't about perfection. It's about authenticity.
Where leadership really lives
Where do you show up as a leader; when no one's watching?
What's one circle in your life that's asking for more intention?
The strongest leaders I know don't compartmentalise their integrity.
Let's talk about leadership that works everywhere.
Cross-domain leadership transfer
What we learn in one domain strengthens leadership across all domains
From Community to Boardroom
- →Listening to understand, not to fix
- →Creating space for others to find their own solutions
- →Building capability rather than dependence
- →Leading through presence, not position
From Boardroom to Community
- ✓Strategic thinking applied to social challenges
- ✓Systems perspective on community development
- ✓Goal clarity and outcome measurement
- ✓Structured approaches to complex problems

These five domains come alive in conversation; not as theories to understand, but as contexts for authentic leadership practice.
No templates. No prescriptions.
Just space to see what's really there.
