  • Ep 136: Putting the Reins Back in Your Hand

    By definition, leadership is all about moving into the great unknown. Unfortunately, many leaders find themselves in a position where they wait until they know everything before moving forward. When supported by a coach or leader, often the tendency is to just rely on the coach for answers rather than moving into the unknown which is what leadership is all about. So how do you put the reins back in your hand? How do you take control? How do you lead? I'll discuss all that and more in today's episode so don't forget to join me!

    Serving others can take up so many forms and it's often confused with a lot of things. However, in some cases, serving others becomes secondary to the agenda and not the primary function.

  • Ep 134: Can Leadership be Taught?

    Contrary to popular belief, leadership can't be taught. Leadership is not in the knowing. Rather, it is in the being. One of the primary responsibilities of leaders is to develop more leaders. However, there are instances when leaders consider people as not suitable for leadership for one reason or another. Oftentimes, when you deem someone not suitable for leadership, you are abdicating from your own leadership. So, how should you address this? How do you develop one's leadership? I'll cover all these and more in this episode, so please join me!

  • Ep 133: What is My Zone of Genius?

    While the zone of genius seems like a straightforward thing, there's more to it than meets the eye. For instance, it's easy to mistake your zone of excellence for your zone of genius. What occurs when this happens? For starters, you get to work more and more with whatever it is that you're already comfortable with. This means you are stuck. There is no expansion. So how do you go about stepping into your zone of genius as opposed to shying away from it? I'll cover all you need to know about the zone of genius in this episode, so please don't forget to join me!

    In essence, unity and oneness is the quality that we're all one, there is no divide, and there is no separation. It's the quality of people like Gandhi or Mother Teresa. Unfortunately, there's this dual experience when it comes to unity and oneness. Not only that, two paths can also arise from this shadow—there's over-compensating and under-compensating. In this episode, we'll get into the intricacies of this shadow. If you want to know how to recognize this shadow and how to work with it, this episode is for you!

  • Ep 131: Content vs. Context

    In most cases, the conversations people have with each other revolve around content as opposed to context. Simply put, context is what lies beneath the content. Most people spot the content but miss the context. In this episode, I'll tackle what context really is, how to spot it, and why it is challenging to create any significant shift when you can't see it. I'll also tackle how it impacts your teams and your leadership as well as your personal life. This is another discussion that will let you to see things from a totally different perspective so I hope you won't miss it!

  • Ep 129: Leadership vs. The Performance of Leadership

    While very subtle, there is a distinction between leadership and the mere performance of leadership. Most people want to do leadership right, they want to look good, do right, and be inspiring as leaders. However, many don't know the distinction between the two. In this episode, I'll discuss how one is different from the other and how it impacts both your leadership and personal life. If you want to become a better leader and do leadership right, this is one episode you shouldn't miss!

  • Ep 128: Along the Spectrum: Presence and Radiance

    In this episode, I talked about a shadow many people possess but aren't usually aware of—presence and radiance. People with this shadow have the tendency to either over or under compensate. This makes working with them tricky at times. So how should we lead and work with people of presence and radiance? How do we recognize them? And how do people end up with this shadow to begin with? I'll answer all those questions and more in this episode so don't forget to tune in!
