The world is transforming rapidly whether through tech or political disruption. Navigating the uncertainty and participating positively and constructively needs your voice to be free and liberated from the stories of the past. Sam Kukathas, a transformational leader, academic, and energy healer, discusses the speed of sound frequency in releasing human and organizational potential. Sam shares his personal journey from being a philosopher grappling with depression and identity crisis to embracing transformational leadership and energy healing. He explains and gives a sampler of neuro-resonance optimization, so you can experience how sound frequencies can transmute emotional blocks and realize profound personal and collective transformation. The work has wider application so we talk about how it applies to corporate environments, politics, and societal systems, promoting a more coherent and compassionate world. This episode offers valuable insights for team leaders, project managers, and anyone grappling with what is going on in the world and what comes next as you choose your place in shaping what comes next. Find Sam's website here: https://samkukathas.com/And the work on Soul Purpose here: https://soulpurposeleaders.com/We also talk about Sam's album on Bandcamp: https://samkukathas.bandcamp.com/album/being-oneNote to the listener: I do not have the perfect setup for podcasting. This work is mission-driven to takes place where ever I am. In the last 16-17 years of podcasting, I have recorded from the basement of the RSA in London, in coffee shops, on the streets in Davos, Switzerland during the WEF. This episode was recorded live so you'll hear my daughter's dog Eddy respond to the frequencies Sam expresses during the demo. Being perfect is not my goal. I will continue to bring forward insights that help people make life-affirming decisions and participate in a revitalized and unified state of the world.

We know people perceive things differently but why is it so difficult for people to communicate about that? Lindsay Uittenbogaard is the CEO and Founder of Mirror Mirror, a company focused on improving team effectiveness through perception comparison. Her journey began in 2003 when she experienced communication challenges in a multinational energy company. These challenges led her to realize the widespread issue of organizational misalignment. It is evident in team dynamics and the aftermath of a failed transformation initiative when the social networks have been damaged by processes that ignore human connection. Lindsay's work restores that connection so teams and organizations can renew their trust in one another and do epic work. The discussion offers actionable strategies for team leaders, project managers, and teams or organizations recovering from failed transformation initiatives. It emphasizes key methods to revitalize team dynamics, improve project outcomes, and navigate the challenges of transformative changes. You will gain insights into effective management practices, enhancing team collaboration, and steering teams towards success.Mirror Mirror™ stands out from traditional team interventions because it focuses on what's happening in the team, pinpointing real work issues and informing immediate action. It's practical, easy to use, and scales well. It looks at the whole system, not just behaviors or preferences, and can connect with any team, not just leadership. This episode is featured for two reasons: 1) perception filters or distorts meaning so being aware enough to stop, reflect, and explore, is a great way to elevate healthy communication and high-quality working relationships. 2) Dawna (me) supports Mirror Mirror's work because traditionally managed organizations are slow to adapt. Starting at the team level and grounding the work in personal and professional development raises the level of thinking and consciousness. Doing so releases energy stuck in tension and conflict allowing everyone to feel good about the work they are doing.

Could adversity and difficult challenges be a gift? Have you ever had things you'd go off the rails? Adversity can be the doorway to realizing higher levels of resilience, meaning and purpose that can bring people across generations together. I (Dawna Jones) started podcasting slightly before I lost my home in 2009 and hit the road. No fancy studio or equipment. Have mic will travel. This highly disruptive chapter of life was preceded by my adventures as a world-wanderer, horse lover, and sensitive person with experience in shifting perspectives and learning from other species. In this episode, I look at how coyotes inspired me to adapt and step into a much deeper richer journey of self-actualization than I never would have chosen and how they can inspire humans to be more intelligent to survive and truly thrive as we collectively navigate a lot of uncertainty and growing complexity. Whatever you've experienced in the world, it has been a training ground for mastering your emotions, converting trauma into usable energy (instead of chronic illness) and contributing to a level of collective intelligence leadership. Transcending the tough stuff and redirecting traumatic experiences into creative initiatives. Moving through fear to achieve a much bigger challenge. It is a choice to develop resilience.Working with your emotions to maintain well-being and clear decision-making. Restoring fear to its proper place so that you can access meaning, purpose and positive emotions that come with life: joy, happiness, and compassion.Why expanding your consciousness brings more peace, less fear, and a deeper connection with the world.The urgent need for self-aware, collaborative leaders to address today's planetary challenges.Gain valuable insights to improve overall well-being, navigate life's challenges with greater ease, and live a more fulfilling life while creating a world that runs on diversity and inspiration.

Timisoara, a city in Romania, bolstered by winning a bid through the EU, took on a grand experiment. My guest Silvia Fierascu, a network science researcher among other roles, was a part of that project. In this episode, we explore how political vision, open-mindedness and principles drawn from network science brought community organizations together to strengthen and grow cultural cohesion. Working with organizations in a city with a population of 300,000, presented an opportunity to galvanize cohesion among cultural organizations that would normally compete for resources.Can cooperation be better than competition when it comes to growth?In the first 15 minutes we talked about: Cultural Impact: The focus is on prioritizing cultural development as a driver for economic growth, improving quality of life, and integrating education to cultivate future cultural consumers and producers.Institutional Support: The Center for Projects, an institution under the mayor's office, leads the program implementation. Principles vs. Beliefs: Principles, unlike beliefs, can be tested and are used to anchor actions and guide change, fostering collaboration and sustainability within the cultural ecosystem.Recognition and Respect: The follow-up plan emphasizes recognizing and respecting the contributions of individuals and organizations, planning together to give meaning and purpose to their efforts.Network Analysis: The methodology identifies key actors with significant influence over the ecosystem, fostering trust and collaboration for broader impact.Reflection for Growth: A key recommendation is for 2024 to be a year of reflection to learn from experiences, ensuring continuous improvement and sustainability of the cultural initiatives.Innovative Financing: Changes in cultural financing legislation made funding more sustainable and transparent, promoting collaboration and accessibility for vulnerable communities.Public Debate and Inclusion: Public debates around art and inclusive cultural events were new and significant interventions that fostered community engagement and collaboration among cultural operators.An individual's emotional and mental health is informed or influenced by the health of the people in the community so strengthening cohesion increases resilience.To connect with Silvia on LinkedIN: Silvia FierascuSupport this podcast with the Tips Jar!!Contact or follow host Dawna Jones on one or more of these channels:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnahjones/Twitter: EPDawna_JonesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/insightful_dawna/Navigating Uncertainty Newsletter: https://dawnajones.substack.com/Medium: @dawnajonesWebsite: https://www.dawnajones.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/insight-to-action-inspirational-insights-podcast.

Dr. Leandro Herrero is an organizational architect and regular speaker at the Organization Network Analysis Summit sponsored by OrgMapper.com in November of each year. Slightly irreverent and very honest, our conversation spans why peer-to-peer change works better than top-down when it comes to creating changes at scale. Thinking differently comes naturally to Dr. Leandro and his clients' benefit. His quest is to create Remarkable Organizations. A clinical psychiatrist and academic by background, Leandro moved into the corporate sector taking up senior leadership positions in several multinational companies both in Europe and the US. His behavioral sciences background is coupled with his hands-on management experience. He co-founded The Chalfont Project Ltd from where he developed innovative solutions to organizational design, culture, and leadership. From his large work with corporations, he pioneered Viral Change™, the new global standard for large-scale, peer-to-peer behavioral change. Leandro has written eight books on leadership and change, is an acclaimed speaker, and has a large community of followers on his “Daily Thoughts" blog and LinkedIn. I have his book The Flipping Point — short flips of perception that compel different thinking.We talk about questions like: What are the preconceived notions that unconsciously would impact a change project? Does national culture have anything to do with change? How and why is peer-to-peer faster?We bust the notions of how long it takes to shift an organization to responsive and adaptive.Find more on: https://viralchange.com/resources/ and of course https://thechalfontproject.com/He is discussing network science and organizational change with Andras Viscek from OrgMapper at the end of July.

Dunia Reverter and Hugo Lopes both reached stages in their careers where working for a corporate was not the way forward. Combining their expertise and vision for work not limited by bureaucracy and control they have launched JobswithNoBosses.com and a crowdfunding campaign to help build it out. Serving an international audience, I'm happy to report three companies are in Canada which is exciting for me (as the show host) having run into managers guided by fear of losing control for the last twenty years! How we view control has been shifting from controlling others to controlling ourselves — a shift in self-leadership consciousness.To support the crowdfunding campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jobswithnoboss#/This episode is to support people who seek jobs where there is autonomy and respect for the talent people bring to work.

Jose Leal is an entrepreneur who reached the stage where corporate environments just didn't work. In this episode, we zoom way out to see the underlying intention of the systems that drive management and employee behavior, to see the roots. However, the simplicity of the solution takes a level of leadership consciousness and inner skills that can shift how people experience work. We cover why some won't make the shift, how young people are leading the way, and explore the honest emotion underpinning the systems in place.Jose has founded or co-founded six companies. Autonet, his third startup, was acquired by a Canadian media conglomerate, where he became the vice president and GM of the English online division. During that time, Jose was also the vice-chair of the Canadian IAB and was highly involved in the industry. After a hiatus from the traditional startup scene, Jose co-founded Radical, a co-owned and co-managed organization helping people create organizations that meet their needs.Jose has spent the last several years researching and studying what makes us human and what prompts us to certain actions and choices. "Our vision is a future where the traditional FIAT hierarchy no longer grinds people into submission but rather the new realities of co-management and co-ownership give people and organizations the opportunity to flourish."The Radical Purpose app is free.

Fear drives a lot of what we do as humans. We often make decisions based on fear, and those don't always land us in the best of spots. So, how do you use fear as something to propel you to a place of impact and influence? In this week's episode of Career Strategies for Women that Work, I'm chatting with my friend Dawna Jones.Dawna has a knack for seeing beneath the surface to identify what is going on and then coming up with novel ways to transform it into a positive impact. Specializing in getting past learned limitations and constricted thinking on complex systemic issues. Fluent with complex uncertain conditions Dawna brings more than intellectual horsepower and extensive experience in working with team-organizational dynamics and takes time to share what it means to use fear as a force!Dawna's Website: http://www.frominsighttoaction.com/Shownote: https://jjdigeronimo.com/31

In this episode of the Inspirational Insights podcast, Dawna Jones is joined by Tim Gieseke to discuss regenerative agriculture and restoring environmental values. Food, fiber, and feed contribute as much value as air and water, and Tim is working to change these perspectives. Land management is changing with generational shifts. We talk about environmental roles and the challenges of soil regeneration. Moving forward has its challenges, but business agility is possible in agriculture!Tim Gieseke has followed a life and career path around agriculture and environmental issues. He returned to the farm he grew up on and began farming part-time in 1996. He started with row crops and recently converted to a regenerative rotational grazing system. Since 1996 he has also earned an MS in environmental sciences, and worked as a local conservationist, federal farm policy analyst, and owns a consulting business. He also authored three books that cover the spectrum of ecological economics, ecosystem service market development, and shared governance for sustainable working landscapes. He is currently working with a network of a dozen professionals to design an online natural capital accounting system; which he sees as the future foundation to manage and value our landscapes.

Ksenia Benifand and Dawna Jones talk about how to design for a better future with less waste and more opportunity. The conversation connects Ksenia's work with diverse stakeholders to gain deeper insights about user & ecosystem needs, pinpoint strategic interventions, co-design solutions, and facilitate iterative prototyping, in order to bring a collective vision to tangible on-the-ground projects.Keywords: circular economy, design change, pandemics, archetypes of emerging future and opportunities that go with it.Ksenia Benifand has spent her life and professional career navigating liminality - the transitory, in-between state, characterized by ambiguity, messiness, and hybridity. She has been exploring the "edges of change" to gain deeper insights into the drivers of socio-cultural, political, environmental and technological changes and developments. By exploring and experimenting with different narratives, lifestyles and practices, she has gained a unique perspective. Not afraid to test her ideas, she spent over a year living zero-waste and actively participating in and building the sharing economy as part of her research and solution design for transitioning consumer behaviours towards Circular Economy business models. She plays in various contexts to study how human needs, limitations, and capabilities adapt to new and unexplored environments while building community resilience.

We're in the space where we can decide how we participate and what happens next” – Dawna · “For a while I have been talking about coalescence and resonance, two much more interesting things happening in complexity. What I see is transcontextual coalescence is happening, similar to the unity that Dawna is describing” -Stelio · “This may sound provocative but I really believe it; we think too much. I think we think too much. The only thing we should be is ourselves, that is something that we do, not something that we think about” – Stelio · “Nature has got this phenomenally sophisticated technology, the planet has been resilient, been vibrant, it's been abundant for 4.X billion years, and yes there have been cycles but nothing like the cycle that we are in now that man has accelerated” - Dawna Dawna bio: Dawna Jones's capacity to sense and respond to underlying systems provide novel ways to get past growth constraints and release the full power of the human spirit to serve our world in more generative ways.

This was an incredibly fascinating conversation with chemist and philosopher Carl Calleman. “The first 25 years of my life were dedicated to solving chemical problems, there came a point in 1992 when a umber of circumstances made me shift and I started to focus on the Mayan calendar” “You cannot understand the evolution of consciousness and the universe without having a background in the Mayan calendar, that is what provides the quantum science of evolution” – 01.40 “If you have a mission you are compelled to do something specific in life, I believe. I had that” - 02.50 “Being in the presence of all these pyramids, it changed something within me” – 04.00 “We humans are at the interface of the macro cosmos and the micro cosmos, we are a product of this interface” – 06.05 “Awareness is the human language to describe consciousness” “All life forms are expressions of that consciousness. Small little bacteria are expressions of that evolution of consciousness” – 07.30 “The mind is not a product of the brain, the mind is something that the brain downloads from the cosmos. That changed the human beings“- 12.05 “The unity state of consciousness became available in 2011” “Its one thing that a state of consciousness becomes available, its another thing to actually access it, to resonate with it, to incorporate it within our mental design and make it part of us” “We to have the intention of downloading it” “I want to emphasise that this is a theory based on empirical evidence, on empirical science” – 22.20 Mayacal is my one-man company dedicated to understanding the nature of consciousness and the cosmic plan.

COVID 19 is a wake-up call that reminds us that we are part of the living system and it is showing us how ill prepared we are to adapt to uncertainty. While some companies have taken the higher ethical road, others have made short-term decisions that will likely not recover from. We are at a critical time to adapt our intelligence, to meet the complexity of these issues and the uncertainty of them.The COVID virus has exactly the same characteristics as climate change does. COVID is much more immediate, but it's having exactly the same impact on how decisions get made and whether they get made understanding impact and system-wide effects. It has an impact on strategy, how we think about where we're going and what we're doing. It has an impact on humanity and the relationship between humanity and the living world, which is a profound and critically important connection that is long been broken. We are in the midst of what is known as a systems level bifurcation.Systems theorist. Ervin Laszlo says we are at a split in the evolutionary trajectory. I quote, "there are laws of complexity, including laws of the evolution of complexity that apply to all systems. A nonlinear system level transformation called a bifurcation is one such law. A bifurcation indicates a change, a radical change in the evolutionary trajectory. Of the system, but a time will come when such a linear evolution is no longer possible. The system faces a stark alternative, transform or collapse. This is the point of bifurcation."This is the moment that we are in. It's an exciting time because it invites us to change our decision-making from linear, which has caused enormous waste and a negative impact on society to impact based decision-making based on recognizing and respecting the systemic effects. It is having an impact on the assumptions that we make underlying how we hire people, how, people are treated.In this series, I'll be introducing and interviewing different people bringing different perspectives on what opportunities business has and you have to really adjust thinking to adapt to the complex times were in and to take advantage of the moment to co-create better solutions that allow for humans to bring them whole selves to work, to express their talent, their creative talent, and to work with complex issues, respecting their character and their nature. Complex issues do not respond well to linear approaches. I invite you then to join as we learn from this simple virus which may have brought enough of a pattern interruption to allow us to rethink and reinvent what we want in the world and to co-create it together.My name is Dawna Jones. You can find me on LinkedIn at DawnaHJones or on From insight to action.comMy work involves adapting decision-making to meet complex situations, emergent strategy where we don't have a clear picture of the end point anymore, transforming organizations using complexity principles, which are far more effective and provoke, different ways of thinking and ways of making sense of situations.Join me on this series.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/insight-to-action-inspirational-insights-podcast.

Andrew Holm Julian Wilson and Dawna Jones met in 2015 when Dawna was nomadically wandering Europe in search of management innovators. The morning spent resulted in their first podcast so in this one, after the publication of book #2 Dawna and Andrew dive deeper into the temptations of transformation, how to meet the messiness of switching out a business model while measuring increases to customer service, quality, price and value. Steering their decisions using data, we talk about the dangers of relying on data alone, and the man in the mirror conversations when self-leadership and self-management meet.

Covid—19 has been a crash course in ripple effects, exposing where resilience, and more, has been lost in supply chains, health systems, and credit systems. Things seem brittle, but there are unparalleled opportunities to ‘innovate out' towards a more robust human and economic environment. Covid-19 presents a challenge to executives: roll back to default patterns out of expedience, if you can? Or move to a new order aware of the unpredictability of complex conditions. Some executives will roll back to expediency; others will make more human-centred decisions. This conversation will explore the steps needed to make decisions meeting human needs while shifting performance to a higher level. Speaker: Since 2008 Dawna Jones's podcasts have hosted many of the world's leading transformation thought and practice leaders. Dawna is the author of Decision Making for Dummies, a contributor to The The Intelligence of the Cosmos with Ervin Laszlo, From Hierarchy to High Performance, and Great Work Cultures on HuffPo. Compared by some to another Brené Brown, Dawna's capacity to sense and respond to systems provides novel ways to get past growth constraints and release the full power of the human spirit to serve our world in more generative ways. Dawna Jones's strategic advisory practice delivers deep insights that inspire new shifts and clear direction. As a transformation mentor, Dawna guides leaders and their organizations past their resistance to achieve larger and more human goals.

Well, it's great to see you Dawna. And I'm really quite interested to hear what you got to say. We've got some fantastic topics we're going to talk about today. Dawna Jones 1:12 Thanks, Nate. I'm interested in hearing what I'm going to say! We're gonna have a fun conversation. Nathaniel Schooler 1:22 We are. And, you know, I know, you know a lot about all of these topics, because you've written a best selling best selling book, and some some other books as well. I'm quite interested to hear about the decision making strategy for dummies, because that's quite interesting. Decision making, for me, it causes me a headache. I mean, you know, when I get too much on my brain. I'm going through a lot of stuff, personal stuff as well, and business stuff and working, you know, like people in life, even if you're in your own business, or you're not, if you're working within a corporation, you have so much on your mind. And it can be, it can be sort of almost debilitating with decisions because you you don't know, do you send that email or not, you know! Where do you start with decision making for dummies? Dawna Jones 2:20 Oh, great question. And, you know, it's funny, because when I was writing decision making for dummies, or the proposal for it, I was in California. And in some, like, just, and somebody told me, they asked me that same question. They said:- "What is the key decision making?" And the answer was "self awareness." And I didn't actually pre meditate that answer at all. But I realized that when you're aware of how you're feeling, where you're, what you're thinking, where your focus is going, you know, what's your feeling in terms of overwhelm, or balance or whatever it happens to be, then you can make the decisions that correct the situation so you can actually make the, the optimal decision. So I think it said self aware and contextual awareness, you know, what's going on for me? and what's going on in this environment that's having an impact on me? So it's those two together that kind of have a little bit of a dynamic dance happening. Nathaniel Schooler 3:09 Right, right. I just put one of these massive sweets in my mouth! It got to the point in the afternoon. I just, you know have worked really hard. And, and literally, I just needed a bit of a sugar boost, you know! So with all that said, there are all sorts of different types of decisions that we have to make. Right. And, you know, some of them are going to be more important than others, obviously. But so how do you stop the paralysis of like, just delaying making the decision? How do you how do you stop that in, in in people's minds? Dawna Jones 3:51 Yeah, there's a couple ways of answering that. I mean, generally, what I look at decision making, I'm looking at it through the lens of biology and what an architect recently...
