Why Lead from your soul ?
LEAD FROM YOUR SOUL
Dr. Aya Akkari founded Lead From Your Soul to address the needs of leaders globally to reawaken their inner wisdom and connect with their innate wellbeing. We are all leaders in some manner or form. We are all the shepherds of our flocks! And to step up as transformational leaders, we must first connect with ourselves and our higher purpose. Emotional resilience is crucial for a healthy leadership model. A busy mind clouds judgment and negatively impacts decision-making, relationships, and productivity. When leaders understand and internalize how their minds work, they are empowered to transform their lives and the lives of those they lead. Leadership competencies are more attainable in confident, resilient, and aware individuals.
Vision: To create a mindful connected world full of compassion, peace, and abundance.
Mission: We empower leaders to lead from their souls through conscious awareness via mentoring and coaching to inspire positive change. We help leaders go from stress and chaos to calm, clarity, and confidence through understanding how their human experience is created.

When I was 20, my health crashed to the point where I was unable to walk, and my life as I knew it crumbled. It was a life-altering experience, and I understand the feeling of being paralyzed, whether physically, emotionally, or professionally. But I found my guide, and it made all the difference. Now, I want to be your guide in your own journey.

Are you ready for your community of leaders to be intellectually & emotionally aware?
“With wisdom people see beyond the filters and biases of race and culture, to realize the beauty in everyone. Such understanding enables people to stop fearing and distrusting those who are different, to see the commonality of human beings regardless of cultural differences.”
-Sydney Banks.
Our main purpose is to disseminate a model of conscious leadership that does not only address key leadership behavior patterns and skill sets but also dives deep into the core of what it means to be a conscious transformational leader.
Mindful leadership is not just about the doing, it is also about the Being.
“If there is a problem and you are the leader, then, you are the problem. The good news is if you are the problem then you are the solution.”
-Steve Chandler.
