The Transformational Leader

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam interviews Hans Phillips about the humans (ourselves) in the coaching profession, what they see, what they are challenged by, and so and so forth.

In today's episode, we will continue talking about the ongoing six-part series of the Leadership Pipeline that leaders move through to go from an industrial era managerial approach to a transformational leadership approach. It is a step towards reinvention and transformation that applies to all the aspects of your relationships and company -- job, friends, projects, and culture. Just a reminder, t...

To remind the listeners, this is part of an ongoing six part series to the Leadership Pipeline that leaders move through when they want to basically create reinvention of the leadership for themselves and the organization to go from an industrial era kind of managerial approach to a transformational leadership approach. The first three steps have been talked about in the previous episodes: Step 1:...

Picking up from where we left off in the previous episode, which is about the second step of Leadership Pipeline: Recreating Trust, Adam will talk about the third step, which is Enrolling People in Possibility. This is part of an ongoing series to the pipeline that leaders move through when they want to basically create reinvention of the leadership for themselves and the organization to go from a...

While unfortunate to note, most people rarely seek support or aim for some form of transformation until they have exhausted all they can do using their current paradigms, models, and approach. By such time, there's already some great deal of frustration, resentment and distrust. Recreating trust can be challenging for some reasons. However, it is crucial if you want to move the organization forwar...

In a company, it is inevitable for individuals or organizations to experience burnout that can cause dysfunction. Leadership Pipeline is often the direction needed to move the work organization or individual from a dysfunctional or management-industrial era based on a transformational and leadership based. It is an idea created through the host's work-with organizations and leaders. This episode i...

By definition, leadership is all about moving into the great unknown. Unfortunately, many leaders find themselves in a position where they wait until they know everything before moving forward. When supported by a coach or leader, often the tendency is to just rely on the coach for answers rather than moving into the unknown which is what leadership is all about. So how do you put the reins back i...

Serving others can take up so many forms and it's often confused with a lot of things. However, in some cases, serving others becomes secondary to the agenda and not the primary function. As a result, most people miss the mark and end up applying their agenda rather than providing people with what they truly need. In this episode, I went over some of the basic principles of truly serving others an...

Contrary to popular belief, leadership can't be taught. Leadership is not in the knowing. Rather, it is in the being. One of the primary responsibilities of leaders is to develop more leaders. However, there are instances when leaders consider people as not suitable for leadership for one reason or another. Oftentimes, when you deem someone not suitable for leadership, you are abdicating from your...

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 is no expansion. So how do you go about stepping in...

In essence, unity and oneness is the quality that we're all one, there is no divide, and there is no separation. It's the quality of people like Gandhi or Mother Teresa. Unfortunately, there's this dual experience when it comes to unity and oneness. Not only that, two paths can also arise from this shadow—there's over-compensating and under-compensating. In this episode, we'll get into the intrica...

In most cases, the conversations people have with each other revolve around content as opposed to context. Simply put, context is what lies beneath the content. Most people spot the content but miss the context. In this episode, I'll tackle what context really is, how to spot it, and why it is challenging to create any significant shift when you can't see it. I'll also tackle how it impacts your t...

In today's modern world, boredom is so common that people don't even consider there is more to their boredom than meets the eye. Most people have this assumption that boredom is nothing more than lack of stimulation. However, boredom is so much more. In this episode, we'll tackle boredom—what it really is (and yes, it's more than just a lack of stimulation), how you should address it, and how it c...

While very subtle, there is a distinction between leadership and the mere performance of leadership. Most people want to do leadership right, they want to look good, do right, and be inspiring as leaders. However, many don't know the distinction between the two. In this episode, I'll discuss how one is different from the other and how it impacts both your leadership and personal life. If you want...

In this episode, I talked about a shadow many people possess but aren't usually aware of—presence and radiance. People with this shadow have the tendency to either over or under compensate. This makes working with them tricky at times. So how should we lead and work with people of presence and radiance? How do we recognize them? And how do people end up with this shadow to begin with? I'll answer...

This leadership sandtrap is common among leaders with a disempowering relationship with their judgments. This is created when people grow up hearing things like "judging people is wrong," or "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Unfortunately, leaders with this sandtrap end up getting owned by their judgments rather than owning them. So how do you work with this sandtrap? An...

On this week's mid-week episode, tune in as Adam coaches Bryan Tarr live, around knowing what he doesn't know to attract and connect with ideal clients effortlessly.

Typically, leadership progresses through three main stages—the first, second, and third stages. However, most leaders relate to what they see externally as a reflection of the same stage of leadership they are currently operating from. In other words, someone in the second stage might look at what a third stage practitioner is doing and see it as no different from what he is doing. In this episode...

Simply put, brilliance is the quality of a sharp and fast mind. Individuals who grow up as brilliance are typically exceptional in school and are given access to multiple experiences. However, people can have dual experiences with their brilliance. They either consider it essential and love it or they are burdened by expectations because of it. From there, they can end up over-compensating or unde...

In a nutshell, connection is the quality of being connected with everything and everyone. Since connection will require vulnerability, connection is not always straightforward and comfortable. To overcome the discomfort and fear, overcompensating occurs and manifests in various ways. In this episode, get to know the different ways this shadow gets formed and how it manifests itself. I'll also talk...

In this episode, I'll be introducing a new series called "Along the Spectrum." In essence, spectrums of being are the ontological model I have created over the decade I have trained, led, and developed leadership. I'll explain how the model works and why people wound up being the way they are. I'll also get into the strategies people use to hold themselves out of alignment and how at times it beco...
