For this episode, I’m speaking with Susan Robertson, founder and managing partner of Linceis Conscious Business. She is also the author of two books: REAL Leadership: Waken to Wisdom and her upcoming book, REAL Culture: The Catalyst for Conscious Business.

Su and I have a long history together that covers a lot of different domains. Before Linceis Conscious Business, she was a founder along with her husband Barry of Stop at Nothing, who ran one of the deepest, most effective leadership programs I’ve ever seen or experienced. Well over 50% of the people who attended that program had positive changes to their lives afterwards, including me. After attending many of the Stop at Nothing programs, I eventually taught the program for about 10 years.

With Linceis Conscious Business, she is taking her expertise in human development to a whole new level. When she works with teams, she helps them bring a whole new level of psychological safety and trust to bear – which then brings a new level of effectiveness to the team and to the whole culture.

We covered so much in this conversation – starting with fear. You will hear the story of when I was sure Su was sending me out to be attacked by the Texas Chainsaw guy when the biggest risk was really mosquitoes. That would be mind created fear – and Su dives deep into what we can do to keep those fears from robbing our joy.

She also shares some deep coaching wisdom with several stories with clients – names changed to protect the innocent of course.

Here’s Su’s bio:
