The Transformational Leader

Can we get rid of our fears permanently? There's always a standard way of how we think things work. Working twice as hard could typically mean acquiring twice as much salary and likewise, working less means less income to earn. This realm of predictability is simply increasing or decreasing your effort and having the equivalent result, thus no breakthroughs are applied. The realm of possibility, o...

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam live coaches Dave James around being and living from the heart.

Does our approach in helping others really empowers transformation? Let's say the person we're coaching is stuck in a hole, and as leaders, we tend to provide support to them. Our initial reaction to offer help for getting them out of it would be to give them a hand to lift themselves up, provide a ladder, and so on. And it does help them to get out of the hole they're in but it doesn't actually d...

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam discusses topics such as Costa Rica and the Retreat, The Pillars of an Extraordinary Life, Creating Love, Joy and Trust, Meditation and Other Tools of the Ego, and Cleaning Up vs. Apologizing.

Can changing your perspective really change your reality?  The concept of transformation has taken over this era of humanity. From appearance, social status, intelligence, net worth, skill and many more aspects in life, people strive for this fulfilling phenomena. It's more than just breaking free from the shadows of the past. As difficult as it sounds, it is actually in arms reach. It comes from...

Can a get-away to a tropical forest make a big difference in our lives in civilization? This change of scenery may sound like a simple vacation. Although, it holds more than the concept of escaping our concrete jungles. As an evolving species, we experience more adverse  challenges, more short-term seasons in our lives and maybe even harder problems in this generation. We deal with a tremendous am...

Are you better at working in teams or working on your own? I'm sure you'd agree that when you work alone, you tend to become obsessed with planning everything beforehand. And that leaves you constantly perfecting yourself; and before you know it, you have let time pass you by without actually working on your project. Our ego works that way. It makes us think we need to wrap up and take care of eve...

If previous experience has taught us anything, it's that it's always a good idea to set boundaries, right? But when we set boundaries, does it mean we need to agree to the people around us to respect every boundary we set, and if those boundaries were crossed, they should deal with any consequence? Many people have this kind of expectation that when they set boundaries, people will naturally be aw...

Have you ever stopped to think about the kind of impact you give as a leader? How often do you look around and ask yourself how your actions affect people? Do you own the responsibility for their issues, or do you just play the victim and blame others for your actions? And when people give you feedback, are you willing to hear about the impact you're having on them? The choices we make as leaders...

Who's better at pulling the mission forward: the boss or the leader? The idea of being a boss is somewhat inspiring; you sit in your chair, telling people what and what not to do and being in control of the team. Then, there is this kind of context that if you are a leader, you are expected to be out in front, pulling the mission forward first and foremost. And if you're the boss, you're usually t...

In this episode, I'll discuss something leaders have to deal with at one point or another—what to do when people won't take action. Understandably, this is something many leaders find challenging. How exactly do you create that shift? How do you support the people you are leading so they can play the big game? What do you do to move the ball forward? You'll find the answer to those questions and m...

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam discusses topics such as Affordability vs. Value, Being a Leader vs. Developing Leadership, The Essence of Mastery, and a Leadership Lightning Round!

At first glance, triggering people might seem like something any good leader should avoid at all cost. However, nothing can be farther from the truth. If you're a leader looking to create transformative change, you probably already know getting people triggered is an important facet of your leadership. But how exactly do you talk people through it? And how do you determine if you're abdicating fro...

In this episode, I talked about a key concept in transformational leadership that's often misconstrued—quitting. It's safe to assume the word often gets a bad rep. However, if you want to create breakthroughs and go after the seemingly impossible, quitting would be an inevitable part of the process. I invite you to tune in and discover why quitting is important, the different ways you and other pe...

Do you ever wonder if your leadership has the potential to set you up for greatness? We have seen many leaders challenge the status quo and make a breakthrough by implementing new ideas. These leaders think differently and pay attention to their inner selves. A transformational leader creates a breakthrough, which breaks down barriers that have held them back in the past.   A breakthrough is the v...

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam live coaches Jared Anderson in a conversation that takes a different approach to what Jared initially asked for support for, that instead might really make a difference for him.

What's the distinction between growth and transformation?   Growth and transformation often get used interchangeably. Most people do not have these two concepts distinguished, and consequently, they end up calling and relating to their growth as transformation. Although there's nothing sort of morally wrong about that, what it does is it ends up denying them the capacity to really go after what th...

What's the difference between "insights," "breakdowns," and "breakthroughs"?    These are really important distinctions that people get wrong or haven't distinguished from one another. And if we don't have something distinguished, then we cannot choose between one or the other, nor do we have any ability to make a real choice because we've just got stuff bundled together.    It is often hard to te...

It gets very easy to assume that the universe is going to take care of you. For instance, if you want a date or a mate, then the universe is going to meet someone for you, do all those things. But I feel like it's really important to recognize there is a possibility for yourself to be the generator of your own life. And that if you choose to be a generator of your life rather than a receiver of yo...

Every one of us has what it takes to stand for other people, to serve them in ways that express faithfulness to the values that are worth fighting for.   When someone asks you, "What do you stand for?", are they asking what you think about some topic? Or is it about how you act out of some belief or affirmation of life?   What does it mean for us? To say that we're standing for something means we'...
