Seeing with New Eyes When we create space for perception to shift, true leadership emerges not as something we do, but as something that flows through us. Hello Reader, I learned something interesting this past year. I learned to see with new eyes. The kind of eyes Joseph Jaworski wrote about in Synchronicity. For years I didn't understand what he meant. Then it happened to me. If you've read my posts and comments on LinkedIn lately, you know I've been looking differently at the problems...

The Insane Power of Awareness Hello Reader, What if leadership doesn't start with thinking, but with awareness?The reality distortion field of true leadership isn't about better thinking and better skills. It's about accessing the space beyond our thinking. This is awareness.Most leaders aren't actually leading. They're just thinking about leading, which is why they're mediocre.The most transformative leaders throughout history didn't just think differently.They operated from a different...

The Extraordinary Power Hidden In Your Next Breath Hello Reader, We have an addiction to constant activity. I know because I have lived most of my life this way and everyone I know does too. We equate more meetings, more notifications, more posts, more vacations, and more possessions with more value and more life. I’ve learned something important on my leadership journey. What if this constant motion is just a shield? It may hide a deeper truth: everything we seek could be found in the...

What Do You Do? Image Credit: Alex Almany Hello Reader, Anurag Bhartiya published this great post on what do you do and challenges us to share our story. I discovered this image by Alex Alemany 10 years ago, and it touched me deeply. Recently, I realized that it perfectly illustrates the concept of self-reflection and recursive awareness that's central to the inner leadership work I do and how I guide leaders.This artist painted a picture of himself painting himself. My work helps leaders...

Leadership, Unleashed. Hello Reader, There's something profound happening in leadership today.In my image, you see how we've always done things - a pyramid, rigid and controlling. It worked in the 20th century. But it's not good enough anymore. Not for where we need to go.On the right is something amazing. Something organic. A network where leadership flows naturally, like water finding its path. This isn't just a new management structure - it's a completely new way of thinking about human...

Leadership: The Power of Less Hello Reader, Each morning, I wake up to an endless stream of posts on leadership that will somehow transform us into better leaders.But what if we're making it too complicated?Here's what I've experienced on my inner leader journey. It's more about clearing away the noise until all that remains is your authentic voice. Your presence. Your truth.The power isn't in what you add, but in what you remove. Because we've all been conditioned to be somebody else.Strip...

Awareness Is the Missing Link in Leadership Hello Reader, This morning, I discovered the profound quote from Dr. Helena Lass in my LinkedIn feed: "Awareness is the primal quality in the life of all living beings. This is the only instrument that enables us to establish an intimate contact with everything; being a bridge it is used to discover all objects. Although everyone possesses this potent instrument, its intentional and smart use is still largely unknown to the majority." I first became...

It's Not Happening to You—It's Happening from You Hello Reader, What if your organization isn't a set of problems to solve? What if it is a collective consciousness to recognize? This visualization captures a fundamental shift in how we understand leadership. At its core lies a truth: every challenge, success, or dynamic in an organization isn't happening TO us. It's happening FROM us. A dream seems to happen to us until we become lucid. Then, we recognize we are its creators. Leadership...
