Integer Leadership Consulting

First, I apologize for such a long delay between Integer Leadership Blog entries. Yes, the summer is a time to relax and play…even for the most ardent and passionate of bloggers. Consider this a mid-summer blog, though brief it may be.

On the matter of the Leader’s Inner Journey Toward Healing and Wholeness, I have been moving through an outstanding text that has spoken to me in ways that few books ever have as it relates to the Leader’s Inner Journey Toward Healing and Wholeness.

Barbara Dent, My Only Friend is Darkness: Living the Night of Faith With St. John of the Cross. The book is out of print BUT you can find used copies on Amazon.

There are a few things you should know about this book before you plunge in:

First, this book is not easy to get through. I recommend moving through it very slowly…reading a few paragraphs at a time and then journaling about your reflections.

Second, this book is most appropriate for leaders who are struggling to gain or REgain a sense of inner clarity and healing which, for them, has become crucial to their continued growth and maturity as individuals and then secondarily as leaders. It is a book for leaders (really, it is a book for anyone who is serious about embarking on the inner journey…a journey precipitated and necessitated by encountering intimidating barriers toward growth) who are ready to dig down deep in order to understand their own “ground of being.”

Third, this book is a spiritual journey based on the journey of Jesus and his invitation to “come and die” before one is able to truly live. Don’t let this fact dissuade you from reading the book…it is powerful and, in many ways, draws “anyone” in to this journey.

Fourth and finally, this book will touch you deeply “IF” you listen with your heart and soul. Please…go slow as you read the book…take your time…each paragraph is loaded with deep meaning and metaphors…some of which will bring you to a new understanding of the journey toward healing and wholeness.

Enjoy!

Until next time…Jeffrey D. Yergler
