Lorraine (Laine) Calland
I have been blessed with a life time of work jam packed with people who want to live and work to create happiness, fulfilment, learning, laughter, love and abundance. Sometimes we label our goals ’security’, ‘profit’ and ‘excellence’ but it seems to me that no one wants to just exist, we all want to thrive and enjoy our time on planet Earth.
I suspect everyone wants to make a valuable contribution as we explore the nature of who we really are. I call it Value Added Living. And I am deeply grateful for all those valuable contributions we make from the simplest smile to the grandest world changing action and sacrifice. There have been times when I have questioned the value of my contribution and some of those times have required me to call on my deepest reserves of courage and faith to radically redirect myself.
Despite all our amazing talents and qualities we sometimes get lost in the midst of achieving our survival and security needs. We think we have problems with relationships, money, decisions, strategy and process. We sometimes forget that the journey is the point.
I believe that the solution is to lead ourselves, our families, teams, organisations, and our countries with exquisite conscious awareness.
I also believe that leaders and organisations have a responsibility to create work that nurtures and sustains our planet and inspires our evolution.
My small part is to research, promote and co-create the skills of conscious leadership. This site is a place for me to offer some of my discoveries and creations in a simple and practical way – as tools for change, self awareness and acceptance.
