Heart First Leadership

In this episode, we have a candid conversation about something that has been coming up a lot lately as a question from people signing up for our Integrated Performance For Leaders Program and who want their partners to get on board and join them in doing personal development work. 

We discuss: 

• When we experience the unfolding of new perspectives and growth within ourselves, we naturally want to bring those we care about along. 
• You can't expect your partner's journey to look like yours. We are all individuals and need to have our own reasons and ways of learning and growing. 
• We share our own experiences being in different places and commitment levels toward our own growth throughout our marriage.
• Some ways that you can begin to express yourself and your desires without feeling like you're judging, blaming, or trying to rescue the other person.

This week we visited with Ryan's cousin John Wood a father and Chiropractor about how he has continued to give life his all even after losing his youngest son Seth to cancer. John is an inspiration to us and we know you'll find value in what he has to share in this conversation. 

We discuss: 

• John shares how he works with patients in his chiropractic practice to help them reset and balance their nervous systems.
• About 6 years ago John's son Seth developed a terrible headache which was later discovered to be caused by a brain tumor. 
• After losing Seth, John took to the hiking trails as a way to process his grief and ultimately ended up climbing Mt. Rainier several times along with his son Tristen. 
• Ways you can support someone who is grieving or facing loss.

We all have days when we just can't muster up the motivation to stay on track with our goals. Let's face it, you're not going to feel like doing the daily steps to pursue your goals every single day. In this episode, Ryan and Heidi discuss what it's looked like in their own journeys to just "go as far as you can see" and how you can keep up the momentum toward your larger vision. 

Key points discussed:

• Perfectionism holds you back from achieving because when you are caught in that place it will never be "good enough"
• Successful people take risks and push themselves. They are willing to take that leap without knowing all the answers because they know that nothing will ever come to them without taking action and stepping outside of their comfort zone.
• Whether you're a parent, leader, business owner, or even moving through something that feels dark and difficult right now, there will be days where you feel that "fire" and other days where it's just hard to get out of bed
• We've got to get good at living within the "6 inches in front of our face" taking micro steps toward getting just one percent better each day
• The importance of being realistic about your capacity and energy levels from day to day as you adjust and don't quit
• Having eagle vision and taking mouse steps...
• The value of mentorship
• Accepting Awareness: Being willing to accept where you currently stand and letting it help you move toward what you want next

In this episode, my wife Heidi and I discuss what "Don't Tell Them, Show Them" means to us individually as leaders in our families and businesses. 

• We often tell our children or others we lead to do things a certain way but are we really practicing what we preach? 
• Humans don't learn well by words alone,  we learn much more effectively by seeing examples and practicing ourselves. 
• Small changes you can start making today to set a better example for those you lead. 
• Using this as a mantra has transformed the way we show up in all aspects of our lives.

In this episode, Ryan talks with Mark Divine - Entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, philanthropist, and one of the world’s top leadership and coaching experts about the power of being a yoga and meditation practitioner.

They discuss: 

• The powerful and outer results that come from consistently doing the inner work. 
• Mark shares how as a special operator having a seated meditation practice was more difficult so he began to find ways to integrate his practice into his daily activities.
• Mark shares how mediation transformed his life and how his personal practice has been the guiding force to find clarity and next steps in his life and business. 
• How you can reframe failure as redirection and the understanding that when you truly align with your calling, the only time it's difficult is when you are misaligned or off the path. 
• You can have all of the vision and plans but you must be able to allow the thing to flow effortlessly, rather than constantly pushing. This takes being able to master the non-action side of action starts with being able to overcome the inertia of your mind.
