Harmonizing Leadership: Energy Healing in Corporate Worlds with Alycia Diggs-Chavis
02/16/24 • 34 min
1 Listener
Alycia Diggs-Chavis, is an energy healer, intuitive coach, and CEO of BlueViolet Energy Healing. She shares her journey from studying international business at Harvard to working in corporate leadership for over 20 years. After she experienced the issues of becoming an empty nester, she transitioned to entrepreneurship and working with people in a completely different way. Through self-discovery and working with a coach, Alicia found her new calling in energy healing and became a certified master energy healer. Alycia helps leaders reduce stress and find their core through custom energy work in corporate environments.
Corporate wellness is very important because as human beings we don’t leave our lives behind, but take it with us to work as well. That is why self-awareness, growth, and achieving the state of flow are crucial for all leaders and their success.
Women especially need to step outside their roles built for everyone else but themselves. Women just don't build the same type of relationships with themselves as with other people. That is why it is crucial to look inward and figure out who we really are, make ourselves centered, and walk with confidence. A need to take time to reconnect with ourselves is huge and results in peace, confidence in decision-making, and getting back to balance is mirroring directly to the business success.
Only when you're learning yourself - you're loving yourself, you're investing in yourself. When you are showing yourself to others - you're investing in others. Let’s heal ourselves and the whole world.

Power of Meditation in Achieving Life and Business Goals with Sunaina Sinha Haldea
Life finds you while you're chasing it.
Sunaina Sinha Haldea is a Global Head of private capital advisory for Raymond James. She's a regular guest on CNBC and has written Five Habits to Build Mental Strength for Fast Company. She had been a senior meditator for over 15 years when she started her entrepreneurial journey.
Parallel with her entrepreneurial journey she started with meditation and that became a secret of her success in business and balancing her life - as she explained - she could not make it without it.
The superpower of meditation is in allowing us to control our thoughts and emotions, not to let our thoughts and emotions control us. Sunania felt incredible liberation and huge empowerment when she started controlling her mind and making decisions without her mind running her but learning and focusing clearly on all challenges in front of her.
Sunaina also enhances the role of meditation in managing the demands of entrepreneurship and maintaining mental strength. In the world where we started talking about mental issues but solutions for those should be proactive, and she advocates for integrating meditation into early education as a tool for building resilience and preventing mental health issues.
She discussed the importance of setting boundaries and staying true to our values, especially in the face of pressures and temptations, and how meditation helped her with mindfulness and balance. Even her children are practicing it. We control how we live our days, how we experience each day, so take control over your life!
