"What advice would you give yourself ten years ago from here?"

Have you heard this question? It's tempting to answer that you would go back and tell yourself this and that. The truth is, it just shows that you are not trusting your path. You are holding that there is a different way this could have or should have unfolded if only for these circumstances being different the next time through. The starting point of trusting our path is letting go of the idea that it could have and should have been any different.

Listen as you will know how your ability as a leader is directly a function of your capacity to be with your struggle.

"The responsibility for how my communication lands lie entirely with myself."

In transformational leadership, the leader steps into the stand that they are 100% responsible for how their communication lands. If I say something to you and it upsets you, that's my responsibility. If I say something to you and it lands beautifully with you, that's my responsibility. When you start getting into the facts of responsibility, you miss the opportunity available through the lens of a stand.

Listen to this episode as you will discover how it is important to have a stand and responsibility for your communication!

What is boredom? How do you relate to boredom, and how do you work with this?

Boredom is a common thing that many people struggle with. The default relationship you have with boredom is that something is wrong when boredom shows up. If you are bored, something is missing, and you want to get away from it by watching TV, drinking, or playing games. It creates this internal experience of boredom that needs to be filled externally. Listen as you will know how to work with boredom. What opportunity might exist in boredom?

How do shadow and relationship work?

Your shadow self-perpetuates your fears. Every time your fear is getting triggered, what the fear does is it goes out looking into the world to find evidence to prove that it's true. That's natural.

Fear does not get defeated through rationality. The way to get out of this is to distinguish that this is all just fear. In a relationship, your partner's fear is simply the reciprocal of yours. You can't help yourselves, and that is the nature of being in a relationship, you pull each other back. Every time one tries to step outside, the other will pull you in. Listen as you discover how shadow and relationship fit and how it works.

In the Western world, you don't have a context from medicine the way indigenous peoples do. Instead, you only have a context for drugs, and if you look at the context for drugs, it's something that you can take and stabilize, but the drug itself will lead to dependency and addiction. It doesn't support you in healing, and it is just like a bandage. There is another healing modality available for you, plant medicine. People kept their distance from plant medicine because they won't understand it and were frightened. Listen as Adam demystifies plant medicine as another healing modality for you to try.

As a leader, if you are committed to developing the leadership ladders, the effective way to do that is by coaching, telling, educating, advising, and mentoring. Lack of coachability is a classic issue in leadership, and as a leader, you can easily label someone as "uncoachable" if they are not cooperating. Uncoachability is an easy label to grab and slap on someone, but most of the time, it is part of their responsibility to be questioning and skeptical. Listen to this episode as you will know how to work with the lack of coachability. Get started to work with the uncoachable!
