The workforce of 2025 is unlike any before it: multigenerational, digitally fluent, and driven by purpose. Four generations work side by side — each with different values, expectations, and strengths. AI is reshaping roles, hybrid work is the norm, and employees expect leaders who are inclusive, authentic, and human.
That’s why heart-centered leadership matters now more than ever.
Bernard Kates, author of Living from the Heart, Leading from the Heart, and Living, Heart and Soul, together with Deborah Spaltmann of Destiny Sculpting, have created the Leading from the Heart 6-Week Cohort Training.

Lead with Impact without losing yourself
Why this Matters
Every leader wants to inspire trust, but too many get caught in old habits of control, pressure, or burnout. In this program, you’ll learn how to:
- Create a team culture people genuinely want to be part of.
- Keep good people longer by making their work feel meaningful.
- Communicate expectations clearly — and follow through with ease.
- Show confidence without arrogance.
- Step into growth conversations without dread.
This isn’t leadership theory. It’s about showing up in the real world — with presence, courage, and results.
What you’ll gain
By the end of the six weeks, you’ll know how to:
- Anchor your values in daily practice — without the buzzwords.
- Set a tone that motivates instead of drains.
- Build a team spirit that people talk about.
- Define your standards and actually see them lived out.
How it works
Live weekly sessions (90 minutes): Co-hosted by Bernard and Debby, with breakout practice.
Self-study video lessons: Short, clear, and to the point
Guided exercises: Tools you can apply directly at work
Support materials: Downloads you’ll actually use
Peer network: A small group of 20 leaders you’ll learn with and keep in touch with
Why this series is different
Most leadership trainings tell you what to do. We’ll help you become who you want to be as a leader. Bernard brings his philosophy of heart-centered leadership; I bring decades of executive communication and coaching experience. Together, you’ll learn from both the human side and the practical systems that make your leadership sustainable.
Who it’s for
This is a fit if you are:
- A first-time or emerging leader wanting confidence and clarity.
- A manager who wants a healthier, stronger team culture.
- A professional ready to move up, but not at the expense of your wellbeing
