Real Space: How and Why It Works

If you want to grow your leadership, I would definitely recommend Chanchal’s coaching. Be aware that her approach is not all cognitive as she won’t just talk you through things. Don’t expect an advisor either. Expect real personal development which will impact your leadership because you use yourself to lead.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS WITH WHOLENESS: YOU ARE NOT A FRAGMENTED BEING

When you decide to enter a leadership journey through Real Space, whether you want to or not, you get to show up as a whole person.  This is not always comfortable. We’re trained to bring only the parts of ourselves that make others feel comfortable to the workplace rather than showing up whole with appropriate boundaries and an ability to respond rather than react. 

When you work with Chanchal, she will work with all of you–especially the parts that you haven’t noticed for maybe years, or even decades. She will see and hear all of you. She will hear the pieces of you that have been ignored that have great potential to help you become the leader you hope to become. 

CULTIVATING RESPONSIBILITY: PUT ASIDE ALL THE EXPERT ADVICE AND SHOULDS

None of us are immune to absorbing the constant barrage of expert advice that promises to help us reach our full potential as humans if we simply follow a linear program supported by all the glimmering data. It’s seductive. And, truth be told, if the expert advice doesn’t produce the desired results, we can point our finger at a faulty program rather than take responsibility ourselves.

Chanchal immediately becomes a mirror for all of your shoulds and misplaced trust. She redirects trust right back to your core center as she reflects back to you the external rules and protocols you adopted somewhere along the way. She gently reminds you again and again to invest in and investigate your own intuition. 

You learn that your intuition is not out of control. Is it wild? Absolutely. And Chanchal will show you how valuable this inner knowing is as you navigate workplace environments that change daily. No algorithm or expert advice can negotiate relationships and solve problems with the elegance of nuance that your instinct can.  

Chanchal will ask you to take responsibility and become curious. Blame isn’t on the table. Possibility is. You’ll learn to have compassion for your own efforts and for those around you. You’ll begin to engage playfully with your colleagues, and show up with a curious perspective.

You know what to do. And Chanchal is here to illuminate how much you already possess and just how valuable that is. 

INDIVIDUALIZED AND INTERDEPENDENT

Chanchal offers keen insight to your own genius–yes, genius is exactly what it is. It is the resident soul present within each person.  It’s each individual's unique way of seeing life. We live in a world ruled by collectivism in a mass culture, where we’re all expected to fall in line and stick with the data. It is all too common for us to divide ourselves into fragments, abandoning our individual gifts and perspective. Again, none of us is immune to this modern phenomena. 

Real Space is about helping each person individualize–to become integrated within once again and devoted to your unique gifts and perspectives. Mass culture cannot foster your genius. It is work you ultimately must do alone, but not in isolation. Working with Chanchal empowers you to do and say what only you could do and say in a given situation with careful consideration of how our individual actions constantly impact the whole. 

Chanchal helps you hold both realities at once: you are an interdependent individual. You have a valuable thread to weave into the tapestry of your workplace and community. Chanchal will give you the tools to begin weaving from the rooted place of soul and imagination. 

ALIGNING THE HEART AND THE HEAD

How do you become a healthy and energized leader who influences others around you in a lasting way?

You use the wisdom of the entire Body, beginning with the heart. Leaders who lead from this place naturally inspire others–which means they spend less time and energy trying to convince people of their vision and strategy. Heart-led leaders naturally possess empathy, compassion, and are genius collaborators. When you’re aligned with purpose, your body will feel satisfied. 

Becoming the leader you want to be means learning how to truly lead from your heart. Leading from the a place of love and expansiveness is a whole body experience. The heart always knows which way to go, and your mind is there to help you and your team make it happen. Step by step, breath by breath, Real Space will help you become the leader only you can become through an embodied and mindful practice. 

There is no advice out there that is more wise than your own inner wisdom. We’ve been trained to look outside ourselves for answers. With Real Space, you’ll re-learn your body’s innate Wisdom to help you navigate your leadership path that will truly transform your organization and community. 

THE WISDOM OF EMBODIMENT

From the very beginning, Chanchal gives people permission to reconnect and listen to their bodies. As she works with leaders, she consistently guides them back to their bodies to get a full understanding of a current situation or a vision for the future. It takes time to unwind and release our grip from the leader we think we’re supposed to be, in order to remember the leader we want to be. 

From the very beginning, Chanchal is listening to the whole person–not just the words coming out of their mouth, but what the whole body is saying. There’s no hiding behind polished and analytical language. It’s the first challenge that Chanchal brings to the table–she actually really sees you and hears you. And she does so with so much compassion and honesty that it feels like a relief to finally come clean–to align what you’re saying with what you’re actually feeling. 

Listening to the body is actually quite simple–too simple for our brains that are attached to complex solutions that we want to put on our resume. When you work with Chanchal, you quickly remember that leadership has less to do with impressing people and much more to do with inspiring, motivating, and influencing people. 

The great poet, Maya Angelou said it best:

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

WHY REAL SPACE WORKS

Real Space leadership begins with a deep inner journey. In order to become a truly authentic leader, you have to throw out all of the advice books and quiet all the linear strategies that promise formulaic success. The process begins with liberation–a great unwinding from the definitions and perspectives you inherited, and have now become invasive and limiting.

Real Space brings you home to your own center, your own wisdom. Real Leaders learn to know their limitations and trust their intuition and capacity for power. 

Real Leadership is rooted in the soils of our own unique and wild experiences. This is not your usual leadership training because you are your own leader from day one when you work in a Real Space environment. Somewhere deep inside you, you already know how to lead–in every situation you find yourself.
