TNM Unplugged

Join longtime friends and colleagues Zoran Todorovic and TNM Senior Coach Robbie Kahn for an intimate, spirited, and powerful conversation on how to be the best leader you can be. You will be introduced to Robbie’s Septagon model from his LeaderLike You program. Explore the seven skills of leadership through real-life examples from two leaders who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of truth, common sense, and courageous leadership. 

Join Zoran Todorovic, MCC in conversation with Master Coaches Sabreena Andriesz, PhD, MCC and Nancy Hughes, MCC as they explore how to discover your values and define their importance; how to understand and respect the values of others in light of cultural differences or other nuances; how to distinguish between “terminal” and “instrumental” values; and how to align living your values on all different levels and through many layers of expression –to express a value isn’t only an action, it is also your state of mind and heart behind the action. In this deeply personal podcast, you will be challenged to be honest about why you hold the values you do, how your behavior embodies those values, and how that behavior impacts others. At a time in our history when so many are polarized at this core level, we must be curious, be open with compassion and nonjudgement – to begin conversations and ask ourselves and others, “Why is this important to you? I’m listening…” 

To be a leader in these turbulent times it is tempting to just hunker down and try to survive – to fall back on tried and tested ways of getting through a tough situation. We don’t think too much about who we are being and how we are behaving, we just do our best – kind of like sleep walking. But to inspire and lead others to create results whilst we move to meet this new and uncertain future requires us to be fully awake, to be Conscious Leaders. In this instalment of Beyond Leadership, TNM Senior Coach Isabelle Courtney-Guy in conversation with Zoran Todorovic, invites you to awaken your conscious leader, to step onto a path of daily evolution – to get into right relationship with your purpose, all aspects of yourself, as well as with those who journey with us. Listen to be inspired, energised, brilliant, and ready for action! 

We numb ourselves to being fully present through negative thinking, substance abuse, and binging. We mask and deny our suffering, pain and anxiety and hide from being present to ourselves and for others. We stifle our growth and potential to the detriment of ourselves and humanity. Wake up, come out, and turn inward with compassion and acceptance! This profound podcast with Zoran Todorovic and Stephanie Canavesio (https://www.presenceembodied.com/) explores a multitude of healing modalities, including compassionate inquiry and meditative practices that support you to connect to the present moment to restore you to your truest expression. Practice how to be in the moment, to feel life fully, to experience your full range of emotions with acceptance, and welcome all the parts of you. Realise the power of your attention - on your breath, your heart, your health, your being and others - to become presence embodied.

We have within us both “victim” and “creator” consciousness. But what are the choices that can support us to be the creators of our circumstances rather than the victims of them? Is life happening for us or against us? Do we want to awaken through suffering or awaken through choice? And, when given a choice, will we step up and embrace it to be where we need to be next or ignore our options? According to Simon Blackhall, PCC, founder and director of ANIMA, Consciousness Coach, a Keynote Speaker and Teacher, the degree to which we can embrace paradox is the degree to which we will get closer to the truth. In this podcast he joins TNM Coaching’s Zoran Todorovic, MCC to discuss how spiritual intelligence can guide us to an awakened state of mind and how our perspectives and behaviours can move us from victim to creator. Through stories and practical exercises, Simon shares the power of “SOUL”, how to honor the “No”, how to find our center of gravity between these extremes and channel our energy for a greater purpose.

Our world is moving at a rapid pace. New technologies create disruptions in all spheres of life. Artificial Intelligence or AI is once such ‘general-purpose technology’ that has or soon will affect the ways we, as human beings, think, act, live, and work. What is our relationship to AI? What ethical dilemmas does AI bring? What do business leaders need to manage AI? What are the benefits and costs? Listen with curiosity as TNM Coaches Judith Eberl, Adriana Strnad, and Damian Fearns share highlights from their exciting multipart AI workshop with host Zoran Todorovic and help you understand, navigate, and embrace the change!

Now more than ever leadership requires us to tap into our humanity and reveal and accept each other’s vulnerabilities. Yet so often certain beliefs prevent this openness or fear creeps in when we do share ourselves without hesitation. Sharing our vulnerabilities requires that space be created to allow and encourage authenticity and build intimacy in all areas of our lives. Join Zoran Todorovic and Senior TNM Coach MJ Impastato as they explore and celebrate the bravery and courage it takes to be truly you.

In this engaging and insightful podcast, Senior TNM Coaches Vivienne Ladommatou and Shaun Young share key themes from their successful personal development program,the works™.They discuss the four main aspects of human experience: physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual and outline a holistic approach to enhancing each. They highlight how by examining these areas in depth you can become “the best version of you”, whatever you wish that to be, with profound and lasting results: increased energy, improved personal and professional relationships, and greater satisfaction and sense of enjoyment in every aspect of your life.

Marilyn O’Hearne MCC is Culturally Intelligent Executive, Leadership, Team and Mentor Coaching: Unlocking Potential, Prosperity and Peace, resulting in increased Quadruple Bottom Line: People, Planet, Profits and Purpose, with a future orientation. Another challenge in executive coaching begins with setting a clear contract and agreement. A coach can get caught in the middle between the expectations of the executive coach, client and sponsor and there may be ethical implications if contracts and communication are not agreed to upfront. With examples from her professional experience, Marilyn offers two tips for setting agreements. The first addresses cultural differences related to how directly to communicate as well as how and when to begin coaching. The second tip explains how to tie the coaching agreement to vision and the big picture so each session has its own agreement and answers the question, “How does your vision inform your goal for this coaching session?”

As we seek to navigate these turbulent times, organizations are looking to make Mindfulness a cornerstone of their talent development initiatives. As individuals we are looking for ways to reduce stress, quiet the noise and maintain our humanity. Mindfulness, the centuries-old practice of bringing focused awareness, presence and reflection offers a powerful set of tools and techniques that can assist along the way. Drawing from her popular masterclass, Senior Coach and Trainer Gina Paigen demystifies the practice of mindfulness for us and shares how to be in the world in a compassionate way.
