The Higher Ground Leadership® Challenge

The 6 C.A.S.T.L.E. Principles

  1. Courage—Reaching beyond the boundaries of our existing limitations, fears, and beliefs. More
  2. Authenticity—Being genuine, transparent and aligned with our inner voice in all aspects of life. More
  3. Service—Willing and actively supporting the good of the other. More
  4. Truthfulness—Being honest and transparent in all thoughts, words, and actions. More
  5. Love—Relating to others by touching their hearts in ways that add to who we both are as persons. More
  6. Effectiveness—Achieving desired outcomes successfully. More

As we live by these principles, through our example and our actions, we are the flame by which others are warmed, guided, developed, comforted and inspired.

This is how we change the world.


Pledge to be an inspiring person in every thought, word and deed.
