Bee Formless™ Flow Driven CEO

In this Flow Driven CEO episode, together with Dr. Kathy Martin, we explore life, leadership and business from the inside out, from field hockey lessons to the CEO seat. Reshaping how we age and optimally thrive in community, and leading with patience, presence, and kindness in a non-linear world.

What I loved so much about my chat with Kathy, was the fresh perspective on ageing and that we all want to feel, remain relevant and as a collective each have a part to play in community, not matter what age we are.

Together with Dan McMahon, we explore life, leadership and business from the inside out, how improv and stand-up crack open courage, presence, adapt and play; how a CPA makes the bold right turn from the “billable grind” to growth advisor; and why saying yes-and in the boardroom builds trust, creativity and momentum.

I honestly couldn’t stop smiling in this conversation. I deeply related to Dan, my own improv training came during a season when confidence felt low in my formless journey.

Heartfelt, visionary, and deeply human. With Sheva Carr (Founding CEO, Heart Ambassadors; Founder, Fyera Foundation; Co-Director, HeartMath Healthcare/HeartMastery), we explore life, leadership, and business from the inside out, bringing heart-intelligent leadership into healthcare, organisations, and the broader field of human evolution.

I’ll never forget this conversation. I had always known the mind, body and soul could lead when interconnected, but I never knew the heart had a brain. Sheva’s wisdom illuminated what it means to move from emotional burnout to coherence, from striving to resonance, and from disconnection to connection. It’s the leadership paradigm shift our world quietly longs for; why the heart is a powerful intelligence system that heals burnout and restores collective flow.

Through the Bee Formless™ methodology, we explored:

✨ Quick Coherence® Technique: practical tools from HeartMath to access high flow, clarity, and high-performance states in minutes.
✨ Fail Fast, Feel Deep: reframing failure as feedback and emotional awareness as strategic intelligence.

ACTIVE RECOVERY (Reflect & reset)
✨ Heart-Focused Breathing: tactical coherence to calm stress and optimise physiological performance.
✨ Courageous Recovery: having inner conversations that reconnect you with presence, purpose, and compassion.

Leslie and I certainly had a deep and meaningful chat on all the things, and what I loved most was after a big week, the positive reinforcement and reminder to pamper myself. Thank you Leslie.
