HIGHER PRESENCE
Transcend Conventional Management Paradigms
WITH SHEILA R. CARMICHAEL, MCC
In today's rapidly evolving corporate landscape, the most effective leaders are those who integrate spiritual wisdom with business acumen.
A Higher Presence represents a revolutionary approach to leadership development that transcends conventional management paradigms through the innovative 3D Leadership Framework.
This transformative method recognizes that true leadership emerges not from authority alone, but from a deep connection to purpose, authentic presence, and the ability to inspire others through spiritual intelligence combined with executive excellence.
A Higher Presence offers a comprehensive framework for developing leaders who can navigate complexity with wisdom, inspire teams through authentic connection, and drive sustainable organizational transformation through conscious leadership principles.
This program addresses the growing need for leaders who can balance performance with purpose, efficiency with empathy, and results with relationships—creating environments where both individuals and organizations can thrive.
What Is 3D Higher Presence Leadership?
D1: Depth — Who you are beneath the title
D2: Direction — Where you are going with intention
D3: Discernment — How you know what's right in real time
Let’s break it down.
D1: Depth — Lead from Within, Not Just Above
Depth means leading from identity, not insecurity.
Shallow leadership relies on optics—saying the right things, managing impressions, or sticking to scripts.
Deep leadership comes from soul work—it requires self-awareness, spiritual anchoring, and a clear understanding of values that won't bend under pressure.
Reflection Questions:
Do I know who I am without my title?
Where do I feel most emotionally reactive—and why?
Am I leading from overflow or from depletion?
D2: Direction — Move With Purpose, Not Just Productivity
Direction isn't just about goals. It's about God-given vision.
3D Leaders don't just ask, "What's next?"—they ask, "What's aligned?"
They understand that busyness is not the same as effectiveness. And that no matter how high you climb, a ladder on the wrong wall still leads to the wrong destination.
Checklist for Directional Clarity:
Your "yes" is rooted in assignment, not applause.
Your goals stretch you but still align with your values.
You measure success by growth, impact, and alignment—not just by speed.
D3: Discernment — Make Spirit-Led, Not Fear-Based, Decisions
This is the secret ingredient to sustainable, courageous leadership.
Discernment is the ability to distinguish between:
Urgency vs. importance
Noise vs. necessity
Opportunity vs. distraction
Good ideas vs. God ideas
Discernment Questions:
What is this situation really about beneath the surface?
What outcome aligns with purpose—not just politics?
Is God saying move, pause, or release?
Discernment often shows up as a "knowing" in your spirit before logic can explain it. Honor it.
