Avatar Leadership
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 01:00PM Myth.........Magic.........Inspired Impact
How many times have you seen Avatar? I confess...I've seen it three times. Like epic stories told in ancient traditions around the fire, this tale of compels us to experience the power of myth, magic, and inspired impact.
From the moment Jake Sully decides to tame and ride Toruk, the fiercest flying predator, his conviction never waivers. Instead, Jake 'succumbs to courage' - embodying his most courageous self. All the ways in which he has been seeing himself differently - as an Avatar - converge and coalesce into deep thrilling transformation of legendary leadership.
Jake's decisive action connects him to something so much bigger than himself that he regains the trust of the Na'vi. His heart-centered actions embolden him to lead the Na'vi in saving Pandora and their cherished way of being.
Avatar leaders inspire us. As we watch Jake Sully seize the opportunity to transform himself into an Avatar leader, we vicariously experience what it feels like to be courageous against all odds.
Pandora Possibilities 
Sometimes we just want to dabble in a leader role, instead of facing the challenges that transform us into Avatar leaders. Linking with our inner Avatar opens us up to Pandora possibilities.
Avatar leadership frees us to discover, experience and enjoy the full expression of who we are. This links us more deeply with what we value most. Inspired, we decide what direction will lead ourselves and others to make a meaningful and significant difference in the world.
Challenges in business and life are telling us it's time to shift into Avatar Leadership. So...What is one inspired action you can take today to shift into your Avatar? Do it and notice the difference - no matter how small.

It's like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book on it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
Thanks, Jamie!
