Awareness is the combination of the conscious and unconscious mind.  Brain mind and heart mind.  We are conditioned to always be in brain mind.  Yet our "Sentience" or ability to intuit and feel is equally important.

Welcome to ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

My name is Paul Childs. I’ve been an entrepreneur my whole life.

I ran four companies, founded and investment bank, chaired CEO peer groups and have been a speaker on leadership for the last 15 years.

This show is for business owners, CEOs, high-performing entrepreneurs, and leaders who need to influence a team.

If this is you, you know there's nobody above you to ask for help. And everyone below you, thinks you know everything.

Leadership is not just what goes on outside yourself:

It is also what goes on inside: your belief models, and the mind structs and constructs that alter your interpretation of reality.

Including those dark little nasty corners of your shadow side where you believe that you and everything just sucks.

This is show is about business and life, about learning to lead from your own powerful place.

Having a beginners mind not clouded by prejudgments, preconceptions or assumptions.

communicate to others in their language and not your own, and you will see most people do have good intentions, even if they're not your intentions.

And they're struggling just like you.

This will require a lot of compassion.   Most of all, Self-compassion.

You may feel like an ordinary person, until you do something extraordinary.

Welcome to Ordinary people who do extraordinary things.

Have a Beginners Mind.  Not clouded by prejudgments, preconceptions, or assumptions.  Free yourself from the opinions of others.   Fall down seven times, get up eight times.  Let go of being an Expert. When the student is ready, the teacher will show up.

True leaders set aside the status quo.  We are not all the same and we see the world in different ways based on our Leadership Styles or Archetypes.  Practice using your unconscious mind as well as your conscious mind.    When we live our lives in a state of perpetual comparison, we stop growing our own self-worth. Set boundaries and remind yourself, that this is your life. Make clear decisions, embrace failure, and trust your own intuition.  Leadership is about becoming more of who you are, and less of who you've been trying to become.  Welcome to Ordinary People who do Extraordinary Things. 

This podcasts examines the stories you tell about yourself.  The most powerful pull in human nature is to be congruent with who we think we are.  Even if it doesn't serve us.  HIgh performance leadership is about the self awareness of how we create our reality.
