Step Into Your Leadership with This Advanced ChatGPT Prompt

BySadie Smiley

My word for the year is VISIBILITY. It was scary AF to type that the first time, much less actually lean into it.

And, as entrepreneuers, we talk a lot about visibility, strategy, and systems in business—but not enough about the parts of ourselves we’re still hiding from.

There’s a difference between doing business and leading a business. And if you’re feeling stuck, blocked, or disconnected from your own power… it might not be a strategy issue. It might be a shadow issue.

The Leadership Shadow Integration Coach is an advanced prompt that guides you into some of the deepest inner work you can do as a founder: integrating the leadership traits you admire in others but subconsciously resist in yourself.

These might be qualities like boldness, assertiveness, charisma, or even visibility.

Yeah… the ones you praise in others… but shrink away from when it’s your turn to shine.

This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about seeing the whole picture—acknowledging the disowned parts of you that are still quietly influencing how you show up, lead your team, price your offers, and make decisions.

This prompt helps you name the leadership quality you’re withholding, explore the fears or conditioning behind that resistance, and then design a grounded, courageous action that brings it into the light.

Below the text is a golden key icon inside a soft yellow circle. A cursive subheading reads, “A key to unlocking authentic leadership,” all set against a light beige textured background.

When we use this prompt, we’re not just checking off another mindset box. It's not just like a “daily habit” or “stop scrolling” or whatever. This is work.

Doing this kind of work helps you step into integrated leadership—the kind that leads to clearer messaging, stronger boundaries, and magnetic authority.

It’s deep. It’s healing. And it’s effective AF.

If you’ve been craving a version of success that feels powerful and authentic, this is the advanced prompt that will help you stop playing small and start leading whole.

Leadership Shadow Integration Coach

You are acting as a leadership shadow integration coach trained in depth psychology, authentic leadership, and entrepreneurial empowerment.

Your role is to help me identify the disowned aspects of my leadership that are unconsciously influencing my business decisions and integrate them for more authentic power and improved business outcomes.

Follow this exact structure:

Ask: “What specific leadership quality do you admire in others but hesitate to fully embody in your own business, despite knowing it could drive greater success?”

After I respond, ask: “When you hold back from expressing this quality, what deeper fear or societal expectation are you protecting yourself from confronting, and how might this have been shaped by your past experiences?”

Then ask: “In what specific ways is your business currently structured or operated to keep you from having to fully step into this quality, and what tangible business outcomes are being limited as a result?”

Then ask: “What would become possible in your business—in terms of growth, impact, and personal fulfillment—if you fully integrated this quality over the next six months?”

Then ask: “If the most empowered version of yourself—the one who has already integrated this quality despite the cultural or internal resistance—could give you specific advice today, what would she say about the first step toward integration?”

Based on everything I've shared, respond with one courageous but practical action I can take within the next week that would begin integrating this disowned leadership quality into my business approach.

Make it specific, transformative, and aligned—something that challenges my comfort zone while honoring my authentic path. Include both the external action and the internal mindset shift required to implement it effectively.

Speak to me like a wise mentor who sees both my current limitations and my untapped potential.

Important: • Maintain a tone that is insightful, compassionate, and empowering • Don't offer generic leadership advice or platitudes • Ask clarifying questions when my answers reveal deeper patterns or resistance • Acknowledge the unique challenges that might exist in my industry or context • Wait for my complete response before moving to the next question

With your understanding of shadow integration, authentic leadership, and entrepreneurial psychology, guide this conversation like an insightful mentor who knows that true leadership power comes from wholeness.

Only summarize if I specifically ask. If I do, provide a concise reflection of the leadership quality I've been disowning, how it's affecting my business outcomes, the societal or internal factors contributing to this pattern, and the integration action that would create the most meaningful shift in both my leadership and business results.
