- Feel a strong calling that just won’t let go of you?
- Know there’s something more for you to contribute, but can’t seem to put your finger on it?
- Want to be an influencer of positive culture in the company you work for?
- Stepping into leadership for a cause you’re passionate about?
- Thinking about leaving your day job to start your own business?
The energy of Service is strong for empathic, sensitive and intuitive people. You quite literally cannot go on day-to-day, engaging in meaningless tasks.
You want your time, energy, attention and gifts to be valued.
Most importantly, you need to know you are making a difference.
Here’s why Perceptive Souls make Great Leaders:
We naturally connect deeply with others; recognizing their strengths and encouraging their highest potential.
Because we are more observant, we often have our finger on the pulse and notice patterns arising.
We positively influence group energy through role modeling and effective communication.
Perceptive Souls care deeply about the long-term impact of our decisions for people and our planet.
We generally prefer collaboration over competition – we like a win-win scenario.
We are conscientious and self-reflective.
We view the world holistically, which helps us develop unique solutions and strategies.
These are just some of the ways our unique approach to leadership can create a better world, for everyone.
For those who are tuned-in to the energy around them, the idea of stepping into leadership might seem completely overwhelming. Too much ‘peopling’. Too many conflicts and strong emotions to filter out. How will you be able to take care of yourself with the added pressure and visibility?
Maybe you feel torn between stepping into your calling…
… and becoming a hermit in the woods.
I totally get it. Take a moment though, to consider another perspective. What if you could rewrite the very definition of leadership as we know it?
What if you could both serve and thrive?
Let’s move past the idea that leaders are only Fortune 500 CEOs or those in the spotlight. Actually, we know almost everything is accomplished by strong, caring leaders at all levels of our society.
First, Leadership begins with Self – how we live our deepest held values, how we walk through the world, how we make our self-care a daily way of life.
Then, Leadership extends to our Inner Circle – your closest family, romantic and friend relationships. This is the practice arena, where you get to try out communication, learn to set healthy boundaries and both give and receive from others.
Next, Leadership moves out into your Community – in your workplace, the organizations you volunteer for, your child’s school, anywhere you show up as a sensitive and compassionate presence.
Finally, Leadership transitions into Legacy – recognizing how your daily choices and actions will impact generations to come, what are you passing on to those who will serve next?
Many perceptive souls are weary of the hierarchical, ‘power over’ mentality which tells us the purpose of everyone underneath is to make a small number of people at the top successful.
Instead, what if we flipped that model to empower everyone in your group, organization, business or company from the bottom up?
A more conscious model of leadership recognizes those who serve on the front lines are often the most knowledgeable.
Leadership looks a bit different for sensitive, empaths and intuitives who are called to make the world a better place. No matter if you are a holistic practitioner, an IT professional, in human resources, interested in becoming a coach, a storyteller, mathematician, entrepreneur or conservationist, you bring incredible skills to the leadership table.
In my six-month mentorship program, we focus on your mastery of the 12 Leadership Energies; a core set of values, ethics and practical tools you can apply every day in your personal and professional life.
Each of the energies balances personal power with humility. It honors your strengths and the strengths of others, while also acknowledging we each have areas of potential growth.
When you take time to reflect deeply upon your way of being, you then become a positive influence for the communities in which you participate.
What are the 12 Energies of Perceptive Leadership?
Exemplify – often referred to as ‘walking the talk’ through your words and actions, this doesn’t mean you have to be perfect, on the contrary, you role-model vulnerability
Envision – stepping back to look at the bigger picture, sensing from a holistic viewpoint, letting the potential of the future show itself to you
Include – honoring diversity in all forms and all ways, helping others to feel connected, a vital part of the group or team
Inspire – passing on a sense of optimism, belief and excitement about what it possible
Listen – putting aside your inner mental chatter to hear someone else, step into and consider their perspectives and ideas
Uplift – bringing forth the strengths within individuals and the group, publicly acknowledging contributions, inviting others to try new things, demonstrating trust
Communicate – becoming masterful at verbal, written, emotional, energetic and non-verbal language, bringing clarity, consistency of expectations
Collaborate – creating a safe space for a group to experiment, learn how to leverage their collective and individual strengths and co-create
Reflect – going within to find the deeper meaning, observing the patterns, synchronicities, ability to be self-reflective and receive feedback constructively
Mediate – moving beyond black and white thinking to discover infinite possibilities, assisting others with resolving conflicts and respecting differences
Choose – knowing when to solicit feedback from the group and when you need to make a final decision yourself, making decisions in alignment with your values and ethics
Stretch – seeking opportunities for yourself and others to step beyond a threshold, to discover expanding capacity in people, situations, projects, initiatives and environments
I’m Bevin and I’ve been passionate about conscious leadership for twenty years, since I accepted my very first role as a supervisor. Along the way, I’ve had some amazing mentors, whose insight and role modeling literally changed the trajectory of my life path.
I am also honored to have been chosen to be mentor by so many. I’ve been a guide, coach and trainer for college interns, early to mid-career employees, entrepreneurs and senior managers. I was the vice president of a 50-year old not-for-profit organization and handled a million-dollar real estate portfolio for the largest landscape company in the United States.
Most recently, I served as host for The Shift Network’s Evolutionary Empath Global Summit, reaching an audience of tens of thousands to advocate for our sensitive way of being.
Each of these experiences stretched me personally and professionally. They called me forth to honor who I really am.
My Called to Serve mentorship program is designed to inspire you to stretch! Bring forth your unique strengths, build your confidence and help you get crystal clear on the next step in your service to our world.

Let’s Talk Results
By now, you may be wondering, what happens for your mentorship clients? What fundamentally shifted and transformed in their lives? Without revealing anyone’s name (because confidentiality is a cornerstone of our relationship), I’m happy to describe a few of the tangible results my clients shared after working with me:
A project manager who was struggling in a new position with expanded responsibilities, learned to trust her industry knowledge and emotional intelligence. Because of our sessions, she gained the confidence to speak up about her ideas, which dramatically improved how her IT team performed.
One client kept receiving a strong intuitive message to move back to another country where she’d once worked and felt most at home. Yet, disapproval from others had her second guessing her inner knowing. After our 1:1 sessions, she decided to trust her inner voice, independent of others’ approval. She is now in her new home, flourishing as a yoga instructor and connecting meaningfully within the community she loves.
Another client worked for an educational agency that was often short-staffed. She felt the pressure to come up with solutions for her manager, who was the one responsible for staffing. Through my program, she recognized how easily she allowed her boss’s problems to become hers. She practiced assertive communication; being clear about when, where and how she could assist. Although it still made her uncomfortable at times, she persisted in holding healthy boundaries.
