Welcome to the season finale of Fifth Dimensional Leadership! I am so happy that you are joining me today.   Since starting my podcast, I have had the pleasure of welcoming leaders from a variety of industries and backgrounds. My guests have generously shared their insights, their wisdom, and their invaluable perspectives on leadership. They’ve shared their hopes, dreams, fears, successes — and yes — their failures too.   Though each guest was unique and provided invaluable wisdom in their own right, they all shared a common language: the language of leadership. Their words and voices were a unified call to action from that fifth dimension where we vibrate at a higher frequency; where we’re more soul-based and less ego-based, and where we focus on unity rather than separation.   Joining me once again is my favorite collaborator, Jackson Best, who you may recognize from episode 6 of the podcast! Together, we are taking a look back at this season’s episodes and sharing the moments we have found particularly meaningful, that have yielded clarity, wisdom, and inspiration. As we reflect on the season, we’re going to anchor ourselves in the five dimensions of leadership: knowing yourself, speaking your truth, inspiring love, expanding your consciousness, and activating your mastery. My intention for this episode is not just to look back, but to send you forth. I can’t wait for you to join us.   Key Takeaways: [:38] About today’s season finale episode on looking back and sending forth. [2:30] Welcoming Jackson Best back to the podcast!
