Kieran Revell reminds us that true spiritual leadership encompasses vision, trust, respect, integrity, understanding, responsibility, compassion, and generosity.

Have you ever worked in an organization where there was something lacking? Perhaps it was a place where there was no trust or respect: No compassion or generosity. Maybe there was no support, assistance or encouragement. You might even be able to identify this in the community in which you live.
By contrast, think of a business where you felt or you feel completely at home. A company where employees were valued and rewarded for effort. Where input from those at the front line meant something. Open communication might have been encouraged: A place where positive contributions were warmly embraced and rewarded.
Hi and welcome. My name is Kieran Revell: I’m a Spiritual Leadership Consultant and Speaker. Thanks for joining me on this great journey.
I have experienced both sides of this equation in the various jobs I’ve taken, often in an undercover role, enabling me to get a firm grasp of the issues affecting a business.
It’s my experience in these areas which forms the basis of my current successful work with major corporations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), non-profits, and individuals.
I understand struggle. I had a debilitating speech stammer for ten years from the age of 7. I was tormented, bullied, and vilified. I felt crushed and broken. At the age of 17, I cured myself through instigating some radical steps in my life (I have always enjoyed singing and found that when I sung, I didn’t stutter). For the first time in ten long, dark and miserable years, I felt the sunshine on my life.
At the age of 17, I survived a near drowning episode. In those moments, I’m convinced I ‘saw’ images of my deceased grandparents. They delivered messages of hope to me.
Some years ago I spent time living on the streets. In my heart I wanted to truly understand the plight of the homeless. I have always had a deep regard for the journey of those who are socially detached. For seven days I interacted with individuals who were broken. I heard stories of pain, anguish, illness, injury and even death. The stories were heartbreaking: They were real. The people were real.
From these and other experiences, I have grown and evolved. I have learned a great deal about business hardship. I have a sound grasp of the many competing principles which can either sink a business or elevate it to amazing heights.
Over coming weeks and months it’s my pleasure to spend time with you through the presentation of a series of powerful posts and videos.
Each is designed to enrich your life. I encourage you to come along for the journey; read the posts; watch the videos and begin building your amazing future. It starts by putting the information into play as soon as possible.
As we progress we touch on powerful and thoughtful topics relevant to the particular time of the year.
The future continues to unfold regardless of what we do. There’s no known way to halt that progress. If we do nothing positive and just coast along, nothing effective will happen.
It’s important to your future to remain focused and upbeat as you re-align your values and design the life and the future you want—by taking real and affirmative action. You must do something positive and at the same time, discover your purpose. It means you’re adding tremendous depth and value to the future.
Each of us is a potential leader and as such, it becomes our duty and responsibility to enrich the lives of others. As we grow, those around us also benefit. They too learn to embrace the values which enrich their lives and add depth to the present and the future.
Whether its people within our organization; our family members, friends, neighbors or even complete strangers; they should each be given the opportunity to learn from our positive attitudes. Their futures are equally important and it becomes our duty to assist them on that extraordinary journey. Every life matters … every life.
Take the time to build the confidence of another and help that person evolve. It’s fantastic to watch someone grow and thrive thanks to your life-enriching actions.
It’s a truly amazing feeling when you assist even one person to realize a dream. You’ve taken one step closer to becoming a Spiritual Leader. You’re evolving into an extraordinary force for good in the global community.
I look forward to your company on this amazing journey.
Imagine the possibilities ……..
Warm regards,
Kieran
