We have been seeing through the visible elements of ourselves into those components of our leadership that are invisible. In doing so, we are helping make the invisible visible, creating opportunities for our growth and development. Ultimately, this is the journey of being a human. As leaders, this adventure continues throughout our entire life. We started this leadership journey by understanding how to be fully integrated as a leader. For me, the journey of integration is about being a multi-rested leader: having a calm heart, quiet mind, and still hands. As you adventure on your journey as a leader, [attached please find a short e-book](https://www.acausegreater.org/hubfs/Becoming%20A%20Multi-Restied%20Leader.pdf) on becoming a multi-rested leader. It summarizes my thinking, writing, and doing on how to become a rested and more integrated leader. I hope you enjoy it and share it with others. Here is to helping our world become a more integrated place to live and thrive. Mind how you go, Lon ![Lon Signature\_Cropped](https://www.acausegreater.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Lon%20Signature_Cropped-Jun-12-2026-12-56-43-8912-PM.png?width=78&height=83&name=Lon%20Signature_Cropped-Jun-12-2026-12-56-43-8912-PM.png)       ![New Lon](https://www.acausegreater.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/New%20Lon-Jun-12-2026-12-56-15-4514-PM.png?width=130&height=130&name=New%20Lon-Jun-12-2026-12-56-15-4514-PM.png) Lon L.
