“True freedom is when all the stories, all the insights, all the realizations, concepts, beliefs and positions dissolve. What remains is what you are; a vast, conscious, luminous space simply resting in itself, not knowing a thing, at the point where all things are possible.”

— Enza Vita, Instant Presence

I. High-Performance Leadership

High performing leaders:

  • Park their ego.

  • Don't bury the past — they build it.

  • Understand it's all about relationships.

  • Show how it's done with action, delegation, storytelling, and vision.

  • Don't just lead their team — they intentionally create a culture of family.

  • Help everyone become a high performer and the best version of themselves.

II. Embracing the Old & the New

Global brand building and management in the digital age:

  • Old Brands = Careful consistency // New Brands = Creative Chaos

  • Old Brands = Defined frameworks // New Brands = Dynamic flywheels

  • Old Brands = A focus on followers // New Brands = Cultivate communities

  • Old Brands = Polish and perfection // New Brands = Embracing experimentation

  • Old Brands = One-way communications // New Brands = Fostering feedback loops

  • Old Brands = Passive audiences // New Brands = Fans as investors and collaborators

  • Old Brands = Brand purpose // New Brands = Brand energy

III. Feeding Our Mind

Gentle reminders to feed our mind for growth and possibility:

  • Our mindset is like a house’s foundation: it supports our goals and increases our resilience.

  • Our peace of mind is valuable. Letting go of limiting beliefs while nurturing new and empowering ones.

  • Changing our thoughts is the birthplace to changing our actions and lives.

The Last Words…

“We are in the habit of imagining our lives to be linear, a long march from birth to death in which we mass our powers, only to surrender them again, all the while slowly losing our youthful beauty. This is a brutal untruth. Life meanders like a path through the woods. We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”
