Our world today is filled with technologies that claim to be improving our alignment and connectedness with each other. Our leadership training focuses on creating alignment and compliance within our organization and our teams. However like so many, we continue to see more than ever before, a business and leadership world more disconnected, misaligned and ineffective. In today’s podcast we explore, using us as the model for this exploration, the distinction of connectedness leading to unification.

Movies can be useful metaphors and speak powerfully to us - especially when seen through the eyes of the Divine, wholeheartedness or We-centeredness. In this podcast Mazzi experiences some of the powerful distinctions within the context of the movie The Shawshank Redemption in a real-life business setting. Join us we we wrestle to wake up and break free from both our individual and collective historical ways of thinking and being.

Transforming the nature of leadership starts with focusing on helping leaders remember who they were created to be - their true self. This is the purpose of life planning and Mazzi’s Life Planning transformation service. The in-between-time from choosing to co-create your life plan and starting your Life Plan is an important part of the process. In today’s conversation we’ll openly discuss this important time period, including how best to prepare for an amazing transformation experience as well as the hurdles or barriers you may experience within yourself.

Movies can be useful metaphors and speak powerfully to us - especially when seen through the eyes of the Divine, wholeheartedness or We-centeredness. This is Mazzi’s first podcast of a regular conversation we’ll have focused on particular movies - as the basis of a metaphor for our life. Join us as we explore the movie Touching the Void based on a 1988 book by Joe Simpson, recounting his and Simon Yates' successful but disastrous and nearly fatal climb of the 6,344-metre Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.

Today’s podcast, like our most recent podcasts, continues an approach of a real-time look into a Mazzi team meeting. This is the part of an integration series where we explore and model the power of living an integrated life versus living a compartmentalized life - which is a historical norm for many, it is the way we’ve been taught to be in the world. In this podcast we’ll model our own transparent work and struggle to take responsibility for living an integrated life in business.

Today’s podcast, like our most recent podcasts, continues an approach of a real-time look into a Mazzi team meeting. This is the part of an integration series where we explore and model the power of living an integrated life versus a compartmentalized life (the norm for most folks). In this podcast we’ll set the context for living an integrated life and walk into a real life business challenge where we wrestle with our own habitual ways of being to compartmentalize ourselves and our service to our clients. This recording includes a reading of “Living an Integrated Life” written by Jim Spivey on January 1, 2006

Today’s podcast, like our most recent podcasts, continues an approach of a real-time look into a Mazzi team meeting. This is the first part of a two part series where we explore and model the power of living an integrated life versus a compartmentalized life (the norm for most folks). In this podcasts we’ll focus on the consequences of living a life that is disconnected and compartmentalized. We take a real-time business example as the basis of our conversation.

Today’s podcast continues our Part 1 theme - it is a real-time look into a Mazzi team meeting where we continue to discuss what it means to be engaged and committed. Including yourself and leaning in is easy to talk about theoretically, but very difficult to do - especially when we are scared. This podcast continues the topic from Part 1 and demonstrates how individual and we-centered engagement creates breakthroughs for everyone.

Today’s podcast is a real-time look into a Mazzi team meeting where we wrestle with engagement and commitment - individually and collectively. Transforming into a new and powerful way of being requires a dedication and willingness to open ourselves to each other and to conversations infused with caring and candor. Standing in the way of transformation is our fears and historical habitual ways of being. We need each other’s help to create new more powerful habits.

On previous podcasts we’ve talked at length about the differences between incremental change versus transformation - individually and organizationally. In this podcast our Mazzi team talks about the signs or markers that a leader can observe (in their own life or the life of their organization) that informs them they are ready for the journey of transformation.
