From Chaos to Clarity: Using the 888 Lion's Gate Portal to Amplify Your Leadership (888 Part 2)

Welcome to Driving Impact. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, Driving Impact Collective, the top 5% method. This is Katheline Jean-Pierre, your podcast host, and And I promised a part 2, and this is your part 2. I know that top achievers like you really want to have first the neuroscience behind the Lionsgate portal, because we don't necessarily talk about these topics in business a lot. Ooh, taboo, because we might lose our credibility, but not me. I'm good. So what is the neuroscience of intention and timing behind the Lionsgate portal, the 888 Lionsgate portal? From a scientific perspective, when I researched the phenomenon, I tried to understand what is the neuroscience behind. So I read through neuroscience research. Our brains are more receptive to change and new neural pathways formation during periods of heightened awareness and intention. So what I like, I'm a big fan of Joe Dispenza, and I love how he talks about how meditation can change your neural pathways. So the The neuroscience behind intention and timing is that from a scientific perspective, brains can be receptive to change and creation of new neural pathways, especially during periods like the 888 Lionsgate portal, which is a period of heightened awareness and intention. And if you just jumped in and you're listening to this episode, this is part 2 of talking about this planetary alignment that's called the 888 Lionsgate portal. So if you wanna have more context, go back to part 1, which is the episode before this one, but I'm gonna keep going. So when we combine focused intention with a specific timeframe, for example, like the Lion's Gate portal, there's other portals that are happening throughout the year. And we talk about portals as it could be a sense, a spiritual heightened moment of awareness or spirituality or planetary alignment, a connection between the material world and the spiritual world, whatever that means for you. But that's what portal means, and it's portal because it's a door, it's a pathway, it's an entry towards more awareness, more alignment with spirituality. Okay, so when you're in the spirit of heightened spirituality, it's a good moment to have a focused intention, and you can create what researchers call implementation intentions. And I love that because they're not just goals, but they're specific plans that are going to link different situational cues that you get with goal-directed behaviors. So you're getting— you have a goal. For example, I talk about my friend who's interviewing for the CEO job, and your plan of action is like, okay, I'm creating my 90-day plan or 100-day plan, and then I'm going to be prepared to talk about leadership, success stories, etc. So you're doing this plan of action, and then you want to align this with a moment like this where you have a window and the full moon is starting. So the ritual aspect of working with a cosmic Timing also can activate what many psychologists call the fresh start effect. So just like when people feel more motivated to change on New Year's Day or on their birthday, like cosmic events can trigger the same psychological boost. This is such a big one because I've had a goal that has been on my table for a while and I've been procrastinating on that goal and I'm literally starting my cleanse. I started tonight and oh, now it's 12:20, but I started my cleanse tonight and I've been procrastinating. I did one in January, worked wonders, and now I'm starting a new one. So it's a good, it's kind of January 1st. This is your January 1st on August 8th. Then just like people feel more motivated or energized at the beginning of the year, beginning of the month. So Dr. Katie Milkman research at Wharton shows that there's temporal landmarks or special dates that feel like new beginnings. And the 888 Lion's Gate portal is a, it feels like a new beginning. And a new beginning could be moving to a new house, moving to a new city, getting married. Finalizing a divorce, starting a new relationship, just so many new beginnings, starting to go to the gym again, or moving to a new neighborhood, a new vibration. So it's so exciting. So Dr. Katheline Milkman's research showed that special dates that feel like new beginnings can increase motivation and goal setting by up to 47%. Oh my goodness. And that's so, so, so huge. And it's so important. So Lionsgate portal, especially the 8:8 alignment, functions as one of these powerful landmarks. So now you know why from a neuroscience perspective it makes sense. Now we talked about practical applications for business leaders because we're in the business section of the podcast. So let's get down to brass tacks business. We talked about it's a good moment for strategic planning to triple down on your brand to infinity and beyond, become more magnetic, create your brand implementation plan. Talk about aligning your team around big goals. We talked about making that big bold move. This is the moment, do it. And we talked about creating more abundance for yourself. So let's triple down on the first one of strategic planning. When you talk about strategic planning, we're talking also about you can create a strategic visioning session. It could be like, oh, I'm gonna create a vision board, or I'm gonna— because it's a special time and moment to do that and do it intentionally with like an intention that's deeply rooted in your heart goals and not just ego goals, because whatever you create on ego goals might be shattered. So you can use August 8th for your most important strategy planning. And it's not like— I'm not talking about magic. I'm talking about a heightened focus and intention based on the cycle of the planet alignments, and during a time when you're not more naturally aligned with big picture thinking, with big ideas, with clarity. And if you're like, oh, I'm gonna launch a business, well, this is the moment to listen to or take a— start your class about how to launch a business effectively and like, or read a book about it or just set your intention. So it's also a good moment to do your Q4 planning session or your 2026 vision board or that major decision that you've been postponing, like me and my clients. Number 2, it's also as a leader, it's a moment that you can amplify your leadership presence. Yes, my friend, you can triple down on your brand to infinity and beyond. Because we talked about the fact that it's August 8th, and for those of you who look at the zodiac, it's the Leo energy is leadership energy. And if it's your birthday and you're Leo, happy birthday. So this is a perfect time to step up your executive presence. If you wanted to record that thought leadership video you've been procrastinating on, procrastinate no more and do it. If you decided, oh, I'm going to go and create that IG content or YouTube content or LinkedIn content, well, launch that content series. And I'm going to be offering a masterclass soon about how to optimize a profile. Oh my goodness. I got to launch it on Friday. I got to launch it because it's a moment. So it's also a moment to schedule the key stakeholder meetings that when you need to influence outcomes. So that's about the leadership presence amplification. Number 3, this is the moment to align and inspire your team. You can inspire and align your team around a big goal. The opportunity for August 8th and like the window, the days before and after, is that you can tap into this energy to rally your team around your biggest and broadest goal. They might be more receptive. You can host an all-hand meeting, focus on your company's mission and vision. Even the days after, up to August 15th, you can leverage the heightened energy of this period to create emotional connection that drives peak team performance with your team and get them like really like locked in. Then fourth, you can do strategic relationship building. Make that bold relationship move. What do I mean by that? So we talked about the fact that the Lionsgate portal energy is excellent for building truthful connections with people, for networking, forming powerful alliances. So you can reach out to that mentor you've been meaning to connect with. You can schedule that coffee chat with the industry leader you admire. You can also make the introduction that could change your your history, your trajectory. One person can change your life. I had one person who referred me to the biggest job in history and now just referred me to be on a big stage in New York. So it's like one person can change your life. Choose wisely. Then number 5, so you have a financial investment strategy. You can create more abundance and review investment portfolio. The number 8, I'm not saying randomly, but just look at what works and what you think will work in the next decades and make sure that it's optimized towards that. The number 8 is associated with material abundance and wise resource management. What are leaky buckets? Clean up your finances. That's a moment also to cleanse. Like, I have bags of stuff that I'm throwing away. I already cleared 70% of everything a year ago, and I keep— I win when I throw things away. I make more space, more energy, the right energy to flow. It's also an excellent time to review, like negotiate a raise, make a strategic financial decision for your business, and some more. Now let's talk about your 888 action plan. Yes. So here's a specific action plan for maximizing the Lion Gate portal energy. Before August 8th, but can prepare for next year, you clear your calendar for focused intention setting time. I did that on August 7th with my sister. We went to the beach, we journaled. We thanked the universe for the blessings. You review your current goals and identify what's not serving your highest vision. That one is important. You can review your goals now and figure out what doesn't serve your highest vision. You wanna be focused, you wanna be intentional. That's how top achievers make it. Then you wanna gather any data or insights that you need to make very strategic decisions. Now, on Friday, August 8th, begin your day with 16 minutes of focused visualization on your most important professional goal. Remember the 16-minute rule for skill development? Maybe we never talked about it. Let's make an episode about that. Yeah, let's make an episode about that. So now you can write down 3 breakthrough goals that you'd like to put in the top 5% of your field that would really put you up there. What are these 3 breakthrough goals that would catapult your career or intentionally, not just for ego, we're talking about hard catapult, catapultion. That's not even a word. Hard-based acceleration, but hard-based goal and acceleration towards what really serves you. Then you can identify one bold action you can take this month that aligns with these goals, and then you can send 3 strategic emails to advance your most important relationship or opportunities on Friday, August 8th. You hear me? Mm-hmm. After August 8th, within 48 hours, take the first concrete action towards your biggest goal. You can schedule weekly check-ins with yourself to maintain that momentum and check in. Okay, I said I wanted to reach out to X person. Did I reach out? Did the person reply? Did we schedule that follow-up session? What did we do? Then you wanna track your progress using specific metrics that matter in your field and make sure that you hold yourself accountable. So something in the third category of things that you do is, I like to call it the 888 business leaders mantras. You can have specific mantras to step into your full power on this day. One of them could be, I step into my full leadership power. I step into my full leadership power. Another one, I create abundance through strategic action. I create abundance through strategic action. I influence positive change in my industry. I influence positive change in my industry. I attract opportunities that match my highest vision. What I love about mentalizing intentions is they contribute to what we call neurolinguistic programming, which is helping you through the power of the word, spoken word, to reprogram your brain, but also to create those new neurological pathways. Because what happens oftentimes is we have this already always way of reacting to life, and sometimes could be going into victim mindset. So being able to practice meditation, but also having mantras can help you create new pathways and a new life. But it starts a little bit by little bit every day. And listen, Friday 8th is a good time and any time is a good time. Now, remember, the most successful people don't just hope for breakthrough moments. And even Joe Dispenza talks about the fact that hope is not a word that you want to use. It blocks your manifestation. And your creations, and it's not going to help you create new neural pathways. So the most top achievers create systems to capture and sustain themselves. System for health, a system for productivity, a system for goal setting, systems such that everything is automated. So then you have the freedom to think, you have the freedom to be creative, you have the freedom to sleep peacefully, not have to wake up in the middle of night because I put that on my to-do list. Leo. So here's how to integrate your Lionsgate portal. This is a summary of what we discussed for high performance practices. Number 1, in your strategic planning, add quarterly energy alignment reviews to your business planning cycle. Use natural cycle and astronomical events like checkpoints for major strategic decisions. Number 2, in your leadership development, incorporate seasonal leadership themes into your professional development. Yeah, it's Leo season and it's a good moment to step into greater visibility and influence. You can use it accordingly. Number 3, in your team management, help your team understand the power of natural rhythms and strategic timing. It's not about astrology, just forget about astrology. It's about optimizing performance using all available tools, not just business books and podcasts, but also the planet alignment, which were there before you and I, by the way. Respect. And then lastly, Number 4, your personal brand. Align your voice, amplify your voice, your content creation, and your thought leadership with cosmic events, which is the planetary alignment. Top performers know that timing is not everything, but it's a significant advantage. Listen, Steve Jobs would go and meditate. Jay Shetty was a monk. Like, top performers and top leaders isolate themselves. To be clear in their thinking and clear in their energy, go to silent retreats, are able to leapfrog in new field. I've done a lot of silent retreats just to be more conscious of the power of my language and my word. And when you come back from a 5-day silent retreat, what happens is you realize that we're not using our words wisely, strategically, or intentionally. Now, it's always hard to let you go. 'cause I love talking to you, even though I feel like I'm just a girl with a microphone. So again, the 888 Lions Gate portal, it's not magic. It's really a strategic timing. This is the part 2 of 2 episodes where I talk about how to tap into the cosmic alignment. And also it's a cosmic deadline that is really acting as a forcing function to clarify your vision, to commit to a bold action, and to step into like your real leadership presence that your goal requires.
