As a leader or coach, you are trained to have a plan. You drive the agenda, you solve the problem, you move the ball forward. But what if your leadership or coaching need to "drive" is actually causing you to miss the most important thing in the room?

In this "What Do You Know To Be True?" conversation with Joel Monk, co-founder of Coaches Rising, we explore his superpower: "Tending to the Emergent." This isn't just about being a good listener, it is the active practice of being so present that you can sense what is trying to be created in the moment, rather than forcing what you think should happen.

Whether you are coaching a client through a breakthrough or leading a team through uncertainty, the inability to be present means you are operating on old data. You are reacting to the past, rather than attending to what is emerging right now. Joel reveals how we can heal the parts of us that run from the present, allowing us to finally tune in to the hidden possibilities waiting in every conversation.

If you feel like you are working hard but missing the "magic" in your interactions, this conversation will invite you to stop forcing outcomes and start tending to the emergent.

In this conversation, Joel shares how leadership presence, awareness, and tending to what’s emerging can unlock deeper impact in coaching and leadership conversations.

As a demonstration of Joel’s curiosity and his superpower of tending to the emergent, Joel gets me to share some key things from hosting the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast about how we discover our superpowers, unlock our potential, and make meaningful impact in our communities:
➡️the common themes of people using their superpowers
➡️the path that 9/10 times guests develop their superpowers
➡️the building blocks of potential

In this episode, Joel answers the following questions:
➡️How to be more aware of what's possible?
➡️How to be more emotionally present?
➡️Why do I struggle to be present?
➡️How to be more mindful?
