The Transformational Leader

Today, Adam Quiney will be talking about one of the big breakthroughs that he had to create for himself along the way; it is about making 'The Path and A Path.'

'The Path vs A Path' is a fundamental trap of leadership. Most people into coaching and leadership are on the wrong side of the distinction between 'The Path' and 'A Path.'

The nature of our human experience is that we are prone to arrogance, which is given to us by virtue of our own subjective experience. We think that our experiences are the ones that people also must have because of the success we had in them.

Live from a retreat location in Costa Rica, Adam Quiney talks about one of the things they do at the start of the retreat which is establishing breakthroughs.

In this episode, Adam revisits the concept of a breakthrough which is often a missed concept and poorly understood.

How do we make breakthroughs happen?

What most people think about breakthroughs is the things that they will get or the tangible results of it. We define our breakthroughs in terms of the outside world and our circumstances. This is not a very powerful way to define a breakthrough.

In ontological leadership, we work with breakthroughs in a different way. The specific definition of breakthrough is access to a new way of being.

Listen and learn more about breakthroughs, their misconceptions of them, and the kind of breakthrough we look forward to at a retreat. Enjoy the show!

The first stumbling block for most of us is that we get very caught off in facts. The facts will be the same, and we can do nothing about those.

Whatever story we tell ourselves, it will have an impact on our energy, motivation, and intentionality, and what we see is possible and impossible. The results we can create, the way we thrive or struggle in life, and the experience we have of life are all functions of our relationship to what is happening.

In this episode, we will focus on how we will just not listen to the circumstances but on how we can relate to those circumstances. We also get to distinguish the idea of a conversation for survival versus a conversation for transformation.

On this week's mid-week episode, join Adam Quiney for a very special conversation with special guest, Hans Phillips. In this episode, they dive into talking about all things life, leadership and everything in between.

In this episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney talks about practicing the fact that you won't always get things right. He also talks about working with the fact that you are not going to get something right, and why not getting it right actually supports you in transforming.

Usually, early on, people will explore things that they want to try and commit to move their lives forward and take on some practices. Most of the time, the things we expect are not always the things that happen, and many people relate to that as a failure. You actually end up in the place that you think you shouldn't be and would rather avoid.

The miracle of coaching is that it brings you to that place, what shows up, and how you move beyond it. That's where the transformation starts!

What a great opening statement for 2025! In the first episode of the Transformational Leader for this year, Adam Quiney talks about this essential aspect of your journey in leadership. The journey of developing yourself as a leader through the experience of being with someone whose leadership is genuinely something they've worked on and spent time honing.

When you work with a leader who has been managed for many years, the first thing you will see is their wisdom, skill, and capacity for leadership. You will hold them up in high regard and set aside yourself in honor of them.

You will be glamoured by this experience, and you will stop seeing your leaders as human doing their best, but more special than that. The complication of this is once you trust your leaders fully, it will swing to the other side and just go with yourself.

This is the point where there is usually a breakdown, and what's going to happen no matter what is that your leader will continually let you down. The more you hold them on a pedestal, the more often they are going to let you down.

Simply put, committing to something greater than yourself means having a mission, purpose, and commitment that goes beyond your own human contrivances. However, most people tend to make commitments from their internal state—their moods, feelings, and what their present to at the moment. While not committing to something greater than yourself can seem harmless, it can actually do significant harm. For starters, it can make you spiritually fat. It can also make you lose your vitality. What impact will this have on your leadership? What should you do about it? We'll get to the bottom of things in this episode, so don't forget to join me!
