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!

In this episode, I'll dive deep into the concept of polarity and how it can show up in relationships including your leadership. The ability to distinguish between the 2 energies—the masculine and feminine—can give you a clear idea of how to lead in a way that creates polarity. How do you distinguish and embody both aspects so it benefits your leadership? How can you make awareness of this concept work for you? I'll discuss all these and more in today's episode, so don't miss it!

To create a truly transformational leadership, you need to have access to new possibilities. Distinctions are tools that can give you access to new possibilities. In addition, distinctions will also allow you to cut through all the thought and make a decision right away as opposed to wasting time analysing things. In this episode, I'll talk about 5 distinctions that will help you lead and how you can use them to move your leadership forward. You'll learn powerful insights in today's episode, so don't forget to tune in!

While unfortunate to note, many people (including powerful leaders), assume not honouring their word is harmless. However, if truth be told, not keeping your word has a significant impact not only in your life but in your leadership as well. When you don't honour and keep your word, you end up losing people's trust both in you as a person and as a leader. So what makes honouring your word challenging? Why is keeping your word a crucial component of a powerful leadership? And how do you stay true to your word? Please join me as I discuss the answers to those questions and more in this episode!

There are three kinds of conversations that we usually see in coaching and leadership. These are neutral conversations, facilitative conversations, and transformational conversations.

Transformational conversations are the type of conversation that most people get into coaching for. It is more of seeing your blind spots.

Inside a transformational conversation, we are entering into the context that there are some things that you simply cannot see with your own eyes.

Facilitative conversation tends to be more of the steps you need to take. After the transformational conversation, the facilitative conversation aims to give you direction. This part of coaching can feel very confronting because it moves you into your fear.

Lastly, a neutral conversation is a conversation where the person basically doesn't have a gap. In this situation, we need to get curious about ourselves, and what are the things you need to happen in your life.

Listen as Adam Quiney gives clear illustrations and examples for these kinds of conversations! Enjoy the show!
