Executive Shaman

We've all had days when we've left work exhausted. We still feel good, though, when we feel like our efforts are worthy, productive and beneficial. Too often, there's just too much taking our energy and not enough inputs. Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, of StressFree MD, empowers the full health of her clients. Today we discuss why emotional exhaustion is so common in our professional experience these days and how to work in a way that fuels you.

Self-awareness is the foundation of transformational leadership. It is the pre-requisite to learning new behaviors that are more helpful and goal-oriented. There are many concepts available to aid us to BEHAVE SMART. Michael Frisina and I chat about some "equations" and ideas that we utilize in our work.

Our integrity relies on our ability to listen. We've been so socialized to listen to others, that listening to our own "voice/gut/heart" requires practice. Developmental editor and publishing consultant Stephanie Gunning is a 34-year veteran of the mainstream publishing industry, often specializing in books on the topics of health, spirituality, personal growth, and new thought.

Expectations. We all have them, and yet we often don't explicitly identify and/or consciously question them. Very few of us concretely, explicitly and completely verbalize them with others. Shaun and Krystal discuss how to do just that. Shaun is the leader and host of The Love Drive. He believes that communication and emotional intimacy are essential to a more loving relationship with yourself and those around you.

Culture is a direct result of a leader's capacity to inspire others to adopt values, standards, aspirations. And yes, it takes time to shift, and intentional talent.

Daniella is an organizational behavior and culture strategy advisor who provides leaders with the strategies and execution that it takes to build great culture. On this episode, we give you a few tools to use to do just that with your family, team, or corporate culture.

Following your truth almost always confronts our status quo. It involves an inner knowing that sometimes is hard to define, explain, and honor. THEN it requires choosing to act in ways that align, express and empower that truth. Jason spent nearly 15 years in corporate America to discover his why: "Each one of us can make a difference in one's journey. No matter how small or big a difference, we all have the ability to inspire and support." With accounting as a foundation, he uses numbers to inspire and support others. And believes that we all have the potential to do just that.

Thought leaders transform their teams by transforming their stories---individually and communally. Your competitive advantage often involves being aware of, mastering and then choosing your story. Tune into to be inspired, challenged and guided to choose your narrative. Is your story serving or derailing you and your relationships?

We've all experienced a time where someone helped us and it caused us more stress. I myself have unconsciously "rescued" others in ways that made me feel better about myself, but didn't lead to a boost in the other person's growth or long-term well being.
