The Transformational Leader

Leadership is about expanding your worldview and frames of reference that allow certain things to be possible and others impossible for you. Worldview is everything you believe to be true and frames of reference are everything you hold to be true about a particular aspect of the world around us. If someone challenges your worldview, you naturally have evidence and arguments to back that up. That e...

One of the starting points of leadership is to admit that there are things you don't know yet and things you don't see. What's challenging in your blind spot is not that you cannot see it but that you cannot see what you cannot see. You want to know a blindspot, but your resistance wins before you start. If you are actively moving towards something, it becomes evident over time, and the impact of...

The nature of our beliefs shapes what we do. It also shapes our reality and our reality shapes what we believe. If you believe something as the truth, you take action concerning them. If you believe something is impossible, you don't fully commit yourself to going after it because you believe it is impossible. That instantly impacts your action and ability to throw yourself toward what you want to...

People are geared to avoid conflict. If you feel that there is discomfort or you feel that something is not right, people collectively agree not to go near it. Just like a bump in a carpet, it is a thing that you ignore, pretending it's not there and not stepping past it. But did you know that spaces people collectively avoid are problematic in leadership? Addressing what's in the space is a funda...

When something is going on, maybe we are afraid, embarrassed, ashamed or confronted, we tend to hide it. We often try to fix whatever is showing up to us and remove these from the space. These are all excellent approaches until we notice that we are putting more time and weight into overcoming these issues. How do we shift the way it goes? It is through acknowledging the problem, allowing what's i...

There are ten Energetic Laws of Leadership. Energetic Laws of Leadership are like physical laws that hold weight in our life and are the source or reason for our trust.

Most of the time, we are focused on looking at the area of knowledge. Having so much wisdom sounds good, but without experiencing it, we will never have an impact to make. We won't be able to truly lean into the experience and discovery required to create genuine wisdom and transformation. That is why experiencing something is crucial in leadership. It will give us the ability and empathy for our...

There are a lot of instances wherein hindrances to achieve breakthrough is present. Procastination, laziness, fear of rejection - you name it. But what makes them a hindrance is that we allow them to exist and we let them be. Rather than seeing it as a possibility for transformation, we simply let them be and integrated them into who we are. What if that isn't the way you are? What if it's not the...

Transformational leadership takes more than leading people and inspiring others to cross their own boundaries and step into the unknown. It also consists of the leaders being supported, resourced, and nourished by taking breaks and feeling acknowledged for their own work. Why is this important? In order to achieve breakthroughs. It may not look like it but the more you take on as a leader, the gre...

Life can be way more fun than it originally seemed. No matter how blunt or boring you think life is, you'll quickly realize that fun and excellent results could be in the same space once you've shifted your context and perspective.

The capacity for transformation gets lost when we resign ourselves and simply accept things the way they are.

Listen to this episode...

It may be common knowledge but the responsibility is the source and access to a leader's power. Having that power of responsibility allows the leader to have more influence to create change around them - which is both an advantage and a challenge. What most leaders don't realize is that the true path of leadership is through taking responsibility for where we are willing to do so - not when it's e...

When we have self-doubt and believe that we are not good nor smart enough, fear tends to step up and our defense mechanism kicks in to ensure that our fear is not visible.

In this episode, I'll talk about how fear is...
