For Unconventional Leaders

la route

[French ʀut ]

FEMININE NOUN

1. road, 2. journey, 3. way, 4. the road to success, 5. en route on the way

It has its roots in the Greek word:

ρους o [rús] 015a: (λóy.) a. Continuous flow, river current., b. Continuous movement, change of state; flow, progression (of events)

From Self-Awareness to Regenerative Leadership

At La Route Coaching, we believe the journey to regenerative leadership begins within. By helping leaders understand, accept, and love themselves, we empower them to create ecosystems where people and the planet thrive together.

My name is Fenia Bozionelou, I’m a MSc Business Psychologist, Psychometrician, and the founder of La Route Coaching, specialising in (self-) awareness and leadership.

That comment got me thinking and questioning even more.

In less than a year with this company, I introduced my favourite La Route Coaching project “The Creative Leadership Programme”. The feedback has been fantastic and the people who took part were super energised by the power of connecting with their authentic selves. 💥

But this post isn’t really about the programme.
It’s about that word luxury.

Is it a luxury to share my skills and passion to help people?
Is it a luxury to recognise my value and use it to bring change?
Is it a luxury to be self-aware enough and believe in myself to a point of delusion to ask for the opportunities I want?
Or is the real luxury having a manager who does what every leader should: trust, empower and create space for growth?

Why does the myth persist that corporate life can’t handle authenticity?

So many questions, so little time.
Curious to know your answers, if you have any!✨

Not every leader looks like a “leader.”
Some of us were never the loudest in the room or the most popular.
But we saw the cracks. Felt the tension. Asked better questions.
This one’s for the ones who never quite fit into boxes, and always knew they were here to shape something better.

We need more unconventional leaders. Especially now.

Which one felt like it was written for you?

Leaving back my routine for sunsets and temples in Thailand taught me this: Your environment reshapes your perspective, whether you realise it or not. Remote work isn’t always glamorous (Wi-Fi hunting, anyone? 😅), but when your work fuels your adventures? That’s where the magic happens. 🌏

🇹🇭 Thailand taught me that self-awareness grows in the spaces beyond comfort. Stepping away from my routine, I found clarity in my fears, strengths, and the stories I tell myself. Leadership starts within. What has travel taught you? Share in the comments! 🌍👇

After 6 years, on December 18th, I became a British citizen.

To everyone who takes the risk and leaves their comfort zone to follow their dreams, you are braver than you know. 🥂

October Recap

This journey is mine.
No one can save me. I can only save myself.

And I get my ego hurt, sometimes.
Because self-awareness means accepting all parts of myself, even when pride takes a hit.

But during this journey, I meet people who can read my eyes.
Because connection runs deeper than words. In leadership, tuning in, both to others and to ourselves, creates meaningful change.

I learn to open up and protect my personal space at the same time.
Growth requires space. Balancing trust and independence is where leaders thrive.

I find myself in between freedom and reality.
Unconventional leadership means embracing the freedom to explore while staying grounded in who you are.

Personally, I am consistent in inconsistency.
I embrace myself through constant change. Because living authentically is the point.

Because only by fully knowing and accepting ourselves, we can lead others.

Take the next step even if you’re scared! Do it anyway! ❤️‍🔥

True leadership is defined by vulnerability.

This is what sets us apart.

Embracing vulnerability can create stronger, more resilient teams and foster deeper connections.

Lead with vulnerability, it is our greatest strength. ❤️‍🔥

A slow morning with a non-negotiable routine, like savoring the first sip of coffee, sets the tone for a productive and calm day. Taking time for myself before the day’s chaos begins is crucial for my mental clarity and overall well-being. Leaders who prioritise self-care can lead with more focus and resilience.🤍

Do you have a non-negotiable routine?

💫 Another trip around the sun just finished, and a new one is starting up!

Happy birthday to me! 🎂

The self-development journey is never-ending, and I’m glad to finally say that I’ve reached a point in my life where stress and anxiety have transformed into flow!

The last few years, as many of you know, have been the most difficult. One urgent health issue was the catalyst that changed my perspective on life.

Two years later, I’m living the most exciting time of my life! Cheers to all of you who live it with me! I’m grateful and love you forever! ❤️‍🔥

To those who I may have overwhelmed with my enthusiasm, I wish you peace and joy in your own journey. 😉

💡 What will you choose: follower or leader?

Growing up, I always admired leaders—their charisma, their confidence, their ability to inspire.

I started my career as an eager follower, with a passion for new knowledge from my mentors and leaders around me.

With each lesson learned, I gained a deeper sense of self-awareness. I realised that true leadership isn’t just about giving orders; it’s about understanding yourself and others, empathising with their struggles, and inspiring them to reach new heights.

Join me and embrace the power of self-awareness, learn from those who inspire you, and take the next step to go beyond leadership!

At The Watercooler & The Office 2024 huge event yesterday, I had a fantastic time learning about the future of organisational culture through a series of engaging workshops and insightful discussions.

Exploring key themes such as AI, sustainability, flexibility, inclusion, wellbeing, and purpose, I gained valuable perspectives for the workplace dynamics.

From the integration of AI in HR and wellbeing initiatives to the challenge of “wellbeing washing,” where companies may superficially promote wellbeing without addressing underlying cultural issues, the event provided a holistic view of the complexities and opportunities in shaping a positive workplace culture.

With workshops focusing on aligning HR with commercial strategy, leveraging AI for employee value proposition, and fostering lasting habit change, I left with a deeper understanding of the critical role leadership plays in driving authentic cultural transformation.

Overall, the event was an opportunity for reflection, learning, and networking, leaving me inspired and equipped for the future of organisational culture with purpose and resilience.

Hey everyday leaders!

📣 I’m excited to announce that I’ll be at the @tedxklonatzidika event in Tripoli, Greece, hosting a workshop on different thinking styles with #luminaspark. 🌈

What does testing out this concept involve: using #lego or leaders? Or both?

Curious? 🤔

🔥 Join me at the event on Sunday 19 May, to find out more and play!

In a society that often pressures us to fit in specific role-models and little boxes, the true power lies in embracing our uniqueness.

Self-awareness isn’t just about knowing who we are; it’s about celebrating it loudly. 🎉

For me, self-awareness came through moments of introspection and reflection. It’s in those moments that I discovered my strengths, quirks, and passions.

Embracing my authenticity allowed me to break free from all the stress and insecurity I had caused to myself in order to be the “good girl”, and step into my own light.

Leadership, too, is deeply intertwined with self-awareness. A leader who knows their strengths and weaknesses can lead with authenticity and empathy. By being true to ourselves, we inspire others to do the same, fostering a culture of authenticity and innovation.

So, let’s dare to be different, unconventional, and authentically ourselves. The world doesn’t need more copies; it needs more originals. 💫

🌟 I wanted to share a little story of one of my client’s journey with you, about discovering her true potential!

Recently, K. started working with me, and let me tell you, it's been life-changing for her! She has always wanted to become the best version of herself, but K. felt held back by doubts and uncertainties. 🚀

Through La Route Coaching, she has learned the power of self-awareness and leadership. It's like she has been given a roadmap to unlock her true potential! 🗺️ Each session feels like a step closer to who she wants to be, both personally and professionally.

Leaving behind her negativity and embracing growth has been empowering. It's not always easy, but every challenge is a chance to learn and grow. 🌱 She’s rewriting her story, one empowered step at a time!

Thank you, K, for trusting me on this incredible journey. You’ve inspired me a lot with your progress! 💼✨
