Leaving a Leadership Legacy Worth Remembering | Jann Freed, PhD | Ep. 25

Send us Fan MailWe're thrilled to share our conversation with Dr. Jan Freed, a beacon of wisdom in the realm of leadership. Dr. Freed, a keynote speaker, leadership expert, and author, is no stranger to the concept of legacy, bringing to the table her invaluable insights on a life lived with a lasting impact. We take a deep dive into her fascinating notion of 'Breadcrumb Legacy', dissecting how leaders can leave significant marks and foster a culture of wisdom, even amidst change and succession. In the episode, we explore the influence and impact that leaders can have on others even in the way they end a meeting or leave a room. We also get into the power of feedback loops, both in personal growth and organizational evolution. We take a hard look at the dangers of ego and fear-based leadership, the venom they inject into work cultures, and the essential role of self-responsibility in shifting legacies. Navigating change and grief is crucial in leadership today. We discuss the importance of metabolizing grief to foster resilience and collaboration. And finally, we delve into the qualities needed to foster trust and generosity in an organization, and how having an abundance mindset or servant leadership mindset can support the creation of a healthy culture. About Jann Freed, PhDApart from being a successful leadership consultant Dr. Jann is the author or co-author of five books. In her most recent book, Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts, she interviews prominent leadership gurus such as Jim Autry, Marshall Goldsmith, Sally Helgeson, Dan Pink, and Margaret Wheatley.

Healing Abusive Relationships, Culture & Self Talk | Amanda Kate | Ep. 23

Send us Fan MailIf you've been on a journey of personal transformation, you know that transformation is not a painless process... Doing the deep inner work can bring us to our knees. Breaking away from beliefs that no longer serve us can feel like we ourselves are breaking.

Those moments when we see the pattern and choose something different, often define who we become. In this episode, we explore:Unlearning the patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in cyclesHealing after an abusive relationshipRecognizing the voice of our inner abuserAnger as a signal that a boundary has been crossedReparenting our scared inner childrenThe importance of REST on the healing journeyRaising our self-awareness to end cycles of harmHaving grace with our divine, messy humanness In this episode, I'm joined by author and transformational coach, Amanda Kate.
