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.

In this episode, we discuss how to find meaning and purpose behind where you are in your career. 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

I show up as myself and something that I've had to interrogate over the last couple of years, especially in the workplace, is yes, I show up at my full self all the time, but that's going to cost me opportunities. That's going to cost me not to be invited to certain boardrooms or meetings or companies to speak at because they don't like what I'm serving. Guess what?
