SPIRITUAL CAPACITY

Capacity building starts with this area. If you don’t know what you want most, you may waste a lot of time and energy running in the wrong direction.

Spiritual capacity is about who we are and what we want most in life. While the term spiritual is often put in a religious context, it means something different in the context of capacity building. Building spiritual capacity requires us to deeply evaluate what is most important to us, including defining our core values and delving into our purpose. This is, of course, easier said than done. Growing this capacity requires dedicated reflection and deep self-awareness. Self-awareness is the foundation of personal and professional leadership. We cannot inspire, motivate, and guide others until we understand what is important to us and are consistent in our thoughts and actions.
