Leading from Within: Eliminating Stress at the Source with Andrew Rooke
Manage episode 499385768 series 3532825
What if I told you that 97.5% of what drives your stress, overwhelm, and leadership challenges is completely unconscious? In this eye-opening conversation with Andrew Rooke, we explore how the most successful leaders aren't just managing stress—they're eliminating it at the source by mastering their inner world. Andrew's journey from burnt-out executive to transformational coach offers a roadmap for any leader feeling trapped in cycles of overwhelm and reactivity.
We dive into practical strategies for developing self-awareness, identifying your triggers through body sensations, and the three foundational elements that can transform your leadership: self-awareness, conscious choice-making, and radical responsibility. Andrew shares powerful insights about why traditional stress management fails and how to break free from unconscious patterns formed in childhood. This isn't just another wellness conversation—it's about fundamentally changing how you show up as a leader and human being.
