If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you do a lot of research and try to get the answer but can never seem to find it, this episode is for you!

As a child, we are taught to trust our paths and learn by failing. We understand how to move through life by doing crazy stuff. 

As we age, we will meet people who want to keep an eye on our future and will help us grow on how most people are going. What happens is, that instead of being invited to discover our path and giving us space to do so, we are asked to do what society tells us is the right thing to do.

We are taught to shift our desire with collective wisdom and understanding. Because of this, instead of trusting ourselves, we follow what other people would say is good for us. We start to look for an internal answer.

Listen as you learn more what are the consequences of the need for the right answer, and what can we do about it. Enjoy the show!

"My life is already super busy and I have very few precious resources to manage time to practice."

Practice is a concept that gets used a lot in coaching, sports and meditation. It comes into play whenever there is something in life that we want to improve, change, shift and develop in ourselves. Before we go to practice, this is not typically our default way of approaching stuff especially when it comes to something like changing ourselves. Instead, we have a default context or approach to how we relate to life.

In this episode, we will talk about the ontology of practice. We will dive into the ontology of what it is to practice. Enjoy the show!

In the concluding part of The Heartbreak of Leadership series, we will discuss a person who doesn't know where to stand in their leadership process.

To summarize our previous episodes, in Part 1, we talked about the heartbreak of leadership from your perspective as a leader standing for the people you are leading.

In the second part, we talked about the experience of developing your leadership and how it goes when you have a leader who is not doing their work and putting it on to you.

In this episode, we will focus on the stand that the leader is 100% responsible for how things have unfolded. Enjoy the show!

In the previous episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney talks about the heartbreak of leadership. The heartbreak of leadership occurs as you are leading someone, and they turn against you, fight with you, and argue with you. Today, we will look at the other angle.

We can't see the new dimension. All we can do is pull whenever someone is trying to help us see beyond our current worldview. All we can do is pull that into our worldview. The whole process of leadership transformation starts here.

You start getting very inspired and excited and suddenly, it will direct us back towards the world we know. What happens over time is we see our failure and not see our results.  This is where the heartbreak of leadership begins. Listen to know more and enjoy the show!

The heartbreak of leadership is a function of the fact that, as a leader, your job is to have a little more altitude than those whose leadership you are developing. Altitude is the ability to see a little bit more of the picture, like a coach, than the players on the court can.

With this altitude, the leader can see a little bit more of a bigger picture. As a leader, you will be able to see something that these people are not. Your job is to develop their capacity to rise and see that. That will happen in the face of their former strategy to cut down the tree and in the face of human resistance that will pull them back to what they know.

There are chances that leaders might take this personally like you are not good at leadership or doing a bad job developing them. Leaders can also project that they are unable to take leadership development and are not candidates for leadership. 

Listen and know how heartbreak works, how that is created, and what happens. Enjoy the show!

Conversation for transformation and conversation for survival are two important distinct conversations valuable when leading, coaching, and supporting someone.

In this episode, we will see the distinctions between these two types of conversations.

Some distinctions include conversation for transformation is different from our default conversation or the conversation we operate regularly in our daily lives.

Our daily life is a conversation really for survival. It is a conversation about what is going on with your life and what you have to do.

A conversation for transformation is a conversation that exists in the realm of possibility, and that possibility is everything outside of what is already predictable for you to have.

When we engage beyond the transformational conversation, we are stepping beyond the balance of "here's why I can't do that."

There are more things to learn about this topic, so listen and enjoy the show!

On this week’s mid-week episode, Adam is live coaching Laura Camacho, around the topic of how to make more money without working harder, and all of the layers that are at play around this topic.

There are two types of investment for yourself. The first type is where you make an investment that does not cost you much financially and is not of too much concern. This type of investment is common for most people.

But what happens when you invest in something you couldn't afford to fail? This is the type of investment that arrests you.

In this episode, we will talk about the ontology of investing in yourself. Investing in something that makes you confronted by fear. The type of investment that diminishes your desire to go beyond the threshold of your fear and go beyond the possibility. Enjoy the show!

If you ask people who are high performers how they experience disappointment, they will tell you that they don't have a lot of disappointment in their life. Disappointments are uncommon for these people.

What is going on is that people learn to perform and put out some excellent work, and they constantly try to outrun the specter of disappointment for themselves and other people.

There is a pattern for high performers that leads to a great deal of burnout because there is an inability to slow down and take a rest. It is the trait or pattern where someone hurts and injures themselves and drives them crazy. 

In this episode of The Transformational Leader with Adam Quiney, we will start to look at it from a different perspective. We will look at it not on how they have always been, but on how they became. Enjoy the show!
