He created PRELUDES, a coaching program to humanize leaders, organizations, and stakeholders through creative and powerful original experiences. Decision-making debates, corporate mottos, emotions-focused team meetings, and client interaction models to name a few. The world needs leaders who don’t hide behind a mask and find meaning, certainty, love, and freedom in themselves. By re-establishing the primordial connection with our inner human being, we unleash our true self, the humanity latent in us re-emerges and, by changing the course of our decisions and the lives we touch, the change extends to those around us and a better world. Out as Humans is a performance, both an individual and group immersive, moving, magical experience, which humanizes authentic leaders. The relationships and interactions among participants evolve thanks to a strong impulse to be open, trust, empathize, bond, and feel a sense of belonging.

Lidia Chmel - resilience in times of crisis | Better Leaders show 39

You can find the notes, links, and resources of this episode here https://betterhumans.me/lidia-chmel-resilience-in-times-of-crisis/ In this episode with Lidia Chmel, we talked about the following: Experiencing the Rusian vs Ukraine war as a Russian abroad was difficult. She moved from Portugal to Israel because of the war. Her parents live in Israel and as a jew, it was ‘easy’ to move to Israel Then one year later the war in Israel started. Taking action, and doing small things, helps you to get out of the negative emotional spiral. Worrying about the things you can’t control is going to make you feel worse and the people around you. Accepting your limitations, things you can’t control, and that things will happen. Focus on the actions you can take and have joy in life. Allowing yourself to have grief and sadness and in parallel don’t feel bad about the moments of joy. Don’t put your life on pause. Man’s search for meaning – Viktor Frankl. Stoicism – The Stoics outlined that our own actions, thoughts, and reactions are within our control. Find meaningful work – there are always people worse off than you. We never know what small thing will change the path of civilization. An earlier conversation with Lidia Chmel – Staying true to yourself Hope and optimism are a big part of resilience. Hope is a verb, similar to love. Hope and love are like a fire, you need to bring resources to keep it going. Active hope. Doing. The meaning of all the suffering is that we grow and that we teach. Lidia helps driven women gain clarity and build habits so that they live a Deep Life – life in radical alignment with their values. She is guiding women through life transitions and turbulent times so that they feel grounded and confident, and able to face current and future challenges.

Arshiya Kherani - How To Build Resilience as a leader | Better Leaders show 38

You can find the notes and links for this episode here https://betterhumans.me/arshiya-kherani-how-to-build-resilience-as-a-leader/ In this episode with Arshiya Kherani, we talked about the following: Why she moved from Cleveland (OH) to New York City, and why her parents agreed. Why she started in affordable housing. Housing should be a basic human right and the connection of housing with other basic needs. The difference between what she learned working at a company and in her own company. The worst advice for a starting entrepreneur is to quit your job and go all in. Resilience and craftiness go hand-in-hand. Different to getting to be resilient vs having to be resilient. The Kickstarter really was the start of the business. Resilience is also putting yourself out there and getting rejected. Resilience in a moment of crisis, for a Muslim, brown, woman in a white environment. Showing up for your values as an entrepreneur. Keeping work and politics separate is not possible. Leadership skills are seen as soft skills. The most friction in organizations happens because people do not speak the same language even though they want to accomplish the same thing. You never know, what you don’t know. Your feelings are data points, they are information. Resilience is sitting with it and talking about it. Understand and dissect the discomfort. Is using my voice also ruining my own livelihood, or is there a point in having a livelihood if I am not using my voice? Decisions we are taking as leaders of our own lives. Arshiya partners with Founders, Executives, and Key Decision Makers to solve problems and lean into impactful leadership positions. With her guidance, leaders cultivate crucial skills such as goal and expectation setting, prioritization, crisis management, culture design, narrative reframing, and communication across demographics. She always seeks the intersection of profit and purpose.

Katharine Hayhoe – climate scientist on LinkedIn (wikipedia) The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it – TED talk by Katherine Hayhoe How do you work with a city that does not support your ecological practices? The Carbon Almanac book. Can a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers save the planet? (Carbon almanac) “experts say the small, obnoxiously loud “conveniences” we call Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers (or GPLBs) create in one hour an equal quantity of harmful emissions as driving from Denver to Los Angeles.” Thought of Seth Godin on the Gas-powered leaf blowers “We’re not serious enough about making change happen. If we cared enough to get two dozen friends and neighbors to show up at the village hall, the regulations could be changed in a few meetings.” Inner Development Goals Summit 2023 Presentation by Erik Fernholm at the 2023 summit about the psychological difficulties people are facing today.
