Play Pause

3d ago17:18

17:18

We often believe we are already doing the transformational work by reading books, watching videos, attending seminars, or having deep conversations with friends.

Ep 373: Relationship Trumps Methodology 15:25

11d ago15:25

15:25

Relationships are the foundation of powerful coaching. Yet, many clients and coaches lean heavily on methodology, certifications, or step-by-step processes, thinking that is what guarantees success.

Ep 371: Being a Product of Your Product 21:57

27d ago21:57

21:57

The idea of being a product of your own product means that, in a setting or structure where you are both selling and using the product. That is the kind of idea of it. You ought to be modeling or demonstrating that the products work, that your life is better. It’s easy to fake the results. But real leadership shows in how you live, not in what you …

Ep 366: From the Vault Ep 133 — What is My Zone of Genius 20:35

2M ago20:35

20:35

While the zone of genius seems like a straightforward thing, there’s more to it than meets the eye. For instance, it’s easy to mistake your zone of excellence for your zone of genius. What occurs when this happens? For starters, you get to work more and more with whatever it is that you’re already comfortable with. This means you are stuck. There i…

Ep 365: From the Vault Ep 131 — Content vs. Context 21:30

2M ago21:30

Ep 364: From the Vault Ep 129 — Leadership vs. the Performance of Leadership 15:12

3M ago15:12

15:12

While very subtle, there is a distinction between leadership and the mere performance of leadership.

Ep 363: The Trap of the High Gradient 14:33

3M ago14:33

14:33

A gradient is the steepness with which we confront you and present whatever work there is for you to do. It’s like going into a gym and picking up a 6,000-pound weight. That rate is going to be a high gradient for your muscles to adapt to, while a low-pound weight might be too low of a gradient. In transformational work, we seek to find the gradien…

Ep 362: Choice - Circumstances vs. Ontology 20:00

3M ago20:00

20:00

An ontological leader can bring the being of a leader to whatever they are doing. One of the things that an ontological leader does is to perpetually be at choice for what is happening. What we mean by we are choice is that we are choosing what is going on, which allows us to be empowered by what we are up to. In this episode of The Transformationa…

Ep 359: Regression Towards the Mean 13:39

4M ago13:39

13:39

Humans are incredibly adaptive and tolerant. We are very reliable just like a frog who sits in hot boiling water slowly but surely dying. We can tolerate things and as we tolerate them more, they just slowly shift and become our baseline. It's not until there's an acute moment in our lives that people reach out and ask for support. This is related …

4M ago19:46

19:46

When you are presented with someone who is boring, the first thing that happens is that you want to stop talking and lose interest in them. You start to turn your attention elsewhere and move away.

Ep 356: The Distinction of Stand 22:54

4M ago22:54

22:54

What does it mean to stand? The stand is not a much-talked-about topic in leadership conversations. The art of standing is something that we learn not from a didactic or informational context, or just by knowing. It's more like about riding a bike. The way stand is best learned by having yourself stood for, and by getting to practice standing for p…

17:21

When people come into coaching or getting into leadership conversation, the starting point is a question of "What do you want to do?"

If you are someone who does a lot of speaking and wants to be able to bring people along with you, this is an exceptional skill to develop, leading people's listening.

As a leader or coach, the time you are going to stand up for people to go beyond their comfort zone also means that some might get triggered and confronted. In short, you are going to piss or upset people. The only way we can ensure we never upset people is to keep ourselves quiet. Being upset is part of the abundance of a fully expressed life. In …

The first stumbling block for most of us is that we get very caught off in facts. The facts will be the same, and we can do nothing about those. Whatever story we tell ourselves, it will have an impact on our energy, motivation, and intentionality, and what we see is possible and impossible. The results we can create, the way we thrive or struggle …

Simply put, committing to something greater than yourself means having a mission, purpose, and commitment that goes beyond your own human contrivances.
