What do you remember about the days where your life revolved around what was on TV, when? Bay and Laura discuss Really Important Things ™ including, but not limited to: joys and pitfalls of self-employment, the need for fun when you're working on a ton of stuff, and how often your survival mechanism "cries wolf." How do you advocate for your future when your survival mechanism has its claws in you? 

What's it like when you revisit goals, intentions, and therefore patterns and survival mechanisms? In this fantastically ontological episode, Bay and Laura discuss some of the paradoxes of goal achievement and ontological transformation, both for clients and for coaches! What predictable things does your survival mechanism do when you're starting new things? How long can you remember you're great before you feel terrible? How much did Hallie and Annie weigh when they were born (yes, this is a Parent Trap reference)?

How do you talk to your boss when you're self-employed? Laura and Bay dive into the deepest conversations of purpose and share about their new bespoke leadership program, 🌿Wayfinders Leadership Circle 🟢 which is beginning to peek out into the world, much like an early spring daffodil.

Dive into the third pillar of a leadership style: power and relationship. No matter where you lead, you have ways that you automatically relate to others, and the power dynamics in those relationships speak even louder than the words you use as a leader. 

Explore the second pillar of a leadership style: philosophy. Bay and Laura deep-dive into why this pillar is so foundational to your leadership, whether you're aware of it or not.  

How would you explain what a "leadership style" is, and why is it important that we inquire? What are the components that make up a distinct leadership style? Whose Creepy Leadership ™ are we having to navigate, and why? Did YOU put on a strangely matching t-shirt and sweatshirt today, too?
