Ever been told: “We tried that and it didn't work”? Most people hear that as resistance. But what if it's something else entirely? In the 2nd episode of the Archetypes of Change Summer Series, Amy Lynn Durham introduces you to the Placeholder archetype—a vital, often misunderstood role in the workplace. You'll meet Teresa, a steady leader who held her team together during a messy system rollout—not by pushing forward, but by protecting what was already working.

In this first solo episode of the Archetypes of Change™ summer series, Amy Lynn Durham invites you to rethink everything you thought you knew about change in the workplace. Forget the buzzwords. This isn't about forcing alignment or pushing people to “get on board.” It's about something deeper: how we each relate to change—and how that's shaped by our relationship to time itself. You'll learn: Why change efforts often feel personal (because they are) What most leaders miss when they try to “logic” people through transition The 5 Archetypes of Change™—and how they show up in every team Why giving your people language for how they move through change can transform your results How this framework goes far beyond personality tests—and why it matters now more than ever Whether you're leading a reorg, rolling out a new strategy, or just trying to hold the center in a rapidly evolving culture—this episode is your grounding point.

Unlocking Spiritual Intelligence, Calm Leadership, and AI Resilience in the Workplace In this compelling episode, I sit down with Amy to explore three powerful themes that are reshaping today's workplaces: spiritual intelligence, leading through chaos, and navigating the rise of AI with confidence and compassion. Part 1: Spiritual Intelligence in the Workplace Amy shares her transformational journey—from corporate executive to purpose-driven leader—sparked by a personal spiritual awakening. We dive into how spiritual intelligence can create workplaces that foster well-being, alignment, and sustainable productivity. This isn't about religion—it's about intentional awareness, empathy, and a values-driven culture that fuels human performance. Part 2: Navigating Chaos With Calm and Innovation Together, we examine how calm leadership can be a competitive advantage in uncertain times. Amy introduces the concept of “Edgewalkers”—individuals who thrive on the edge of chaos and help others find clarity amid the noise. I reflect on my own leadership experiences, including how postmortem meetings helped my teams learn from failure and bounce back stronger. Innovation, we agree, often emerges in the messiest moments—if leaders are equipped to lead with presence and poise. Part 3: Addressing AI and Automation Fears With automation accelerating, fear is rising among employees. Amy and I tackle the emotional side of digital transformation, emphasizing the need for leaders to recognize change archetypes within their teams. We discuss how trust, transparency, and emotional intelligence can ease transitions and unlock the creative potential of AI. The future of work isn't just about tech—it's about trust, connection, and leading from within.

Learn ways you can release suffering within yourself and exercise wisdom and compassion towards yourself and others while navigating corporate life. Today on Create Magic At Work®:Why you will experience karmic patterns in the workplace and what to do about them.Ways to exercise self-compassion and forgiveness as a leaderHow the planetary energies can lead to a deeper understanding of selfWhy leaders benefit from going beyond EQ (emotional intelligence)In parallel to his twenty-year leadership career spanning the automotive, technology, and startup industries, Vish has studied and practiced yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda (mind-body medicine). He coaches and advises corporate leaders, blending Western management thinking with Eastern wisdom traditions, and speaks on a variety of topics at the intersection of business and personal development. Quote"In the yoga system, you practice these things in order to connect your inner wisdom. You also practice self-compassion. Can you be compassionate to yourself? And usually, when we're not compassionate to others, it's because of something in our own lives that we haven't learned to forgive ourselves for. If you can't forgive yourself for something, chances are you're not going to forgive somebody else for it." -  Vish ChatterjiConnect with Vish:https://www.headandheartinsights.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vish-chatterji-b3b2681/https://www.facebook.com/businesscasualyogihttps://www.instagram.com/thebusinesscasualyogi/The Business Casual Yogi: Take Charge of Your Body, Mind, and Career - BookSupport the showConnect with Amy: https://msha.ke/createmagicatwork
