So along with my entrepreneurial endeavors, I also teach at The University of Wisconsin Stout so I have a pretty extensive research background as well. The research that I get into is in organizational exit. So why are people leaving organizations? Usually, I get a sort of that "Duh'' look because most people think they know why people leave, but there's so much more to it. It's so important for organizations to really understand why people are leaving, especially their high performers. Pretty much the number one reason that people leave their organizations is because there's a betrayal of trust. There's this trust factor that is so important in organizations and so one of the things that I do is work with leaders and work with organizations to strengthen that trust between the individuals of the organization as well as the leaders and their organizations. Losing people isn't just a financial hardship, it's a really big hit on morale and the overall organizational culture. The last thing any organization wants is to hit that toxic realm and it's easy to do when we're not paying attention to trust and not paying attention to those relationships that are part of that organization. Yeah, we've got a job to do, there's no doubt about it. We've got things to do, we've got expectations to meet, we've got goals to meet, we have customer expectations, but that relationship side of the organization is as important as getting the job done, sometimes I'm fairly certain it's a little more important. So trust is a big factor and it's one of the things that I love to talk about and love to continue to research too. Is organizational trust the same in face-to-face and remote work environments? March 2020 was one of the most disruptive changes we've seen in almost 100 years. The definition that I use for trust is an individual's belief and willingness to act on someone's actions, decisions, and words. The truth of the matter is that there's no difference between that face-to-face and in the remote or the virtual. It's all in our actions, it's all in what we say, it's all in how we interact. Is it different? Of course, face-to-face is much richer, you can see the nonverbals, you can see body language, you can see those facial expressions. There's just so much there that you can see that you can't necessarily see in a virtual or remote environment. But one of the things that have been interesting the last couple of years is listening to leaders go, "We need everybody back and we need them back now because we don't have good relationships anymore." So I'll ask them why that is and they'll say, "Well, people can't see each other," and I thought, "Okay, but you're doing these great video meetings, you're doing these great virtual events so why do you have to necessarily be in the same room in order to build a relationship?" And you don't. It's different, but there's so much that we can glean in a virtual setting. I mean, look at us. We're doing this podcast, I can't see you, but I can hear your voice and so we can build a relationship that way. So is it different? Yes, but the tenants are the same. Building trust, being able to believe and act on someone's words, actions, and decisions. It's the same thing in a remote or virtual environment as it would be in a face-to-face. What I would say as well, is that it falls on us to be more cognizant of it. When you're face to face, I don't want to say it's easy, but in some ways it is. We've been face to face for so long that we haven't really learned how to do that trust-building and relationship building when we're not face to face. So it's really pushed a lot of people out of their comfort zone so it's been interesting to watch over the last couple of years. I will say that the companies and clients that I work with that are successful at this trust-building approach and relationship-building approach make time to connect. It doesn't have to be on a video call, it could just be a phone call, it's about the connection. Do you think that some companies and employers are overthinking this? Honestly, I don't think they're thinking about it enough! Think about this: We were going through this massive disruptive change, which is extremely scary. Any change, positive or negative creates uncertainty and uncertainty creates fear. If we don't pay attention to it, that fear will create chaos. So the great thing about communication is the ability to keep people in the loop. It shows respect, it puts accountability there. Communication builds trust. People may not like what you have to say, but the fact that you're telling them shows a level of respect that you're being transparent about what's going on. What I'm seeing right now is that there's a level of fear. Let's just take manufacturers in Wisconsin, I just did a panel discussion with a couple of different manufacturers in the state and what we discovered is that we have a lot of leaders of organizations that are very scared and they're trying to survive. The supply chain has been massively disrupted so our leaders are fearful which is understandable. But what happens is when people become afraid, that's when the chaos ensues so when I'm saying that they're not thinking about this enough, our leaders are kind of getting caught up in their own ego. I don't mean that to belittle anybody, it's actually a normal human reaction. But in leadership, we need to really think about how in uncertain and fearful environments, that communication is absolutely crucial. It needs to be regular, and it needs to be thought about, and it needs to be at the forefront because that's what helps get people through uncertainty.  Can you share with our listeners one of your most successful or favorite networking experiences that you've had? I think some of the more fun ones have been the ones that I wasn't even planning. This is from my days in the Silicon Valley, I was actually laid off from a job. So I'm driving around and I stop off because traffic was horrendous and just stopped off. There was a restaurant near one of our clients at the time which was Intel. So I stopped off and tried to let traffic die down. I'm sitting at the bar, and just having conversations with people and the gentleman sitting next to me was about to become my future CEO. It's that conversation, just connecting and those kinds of things. Those are the things that you don't plan for, the stuff that I plan for probably the most fun that I have is LinkedIn right now. I have met some of the most amazing people on LinkedIn. I met my business partner on a goof, she read one of my blogs, we connected on LinkedIn and now we're business partners even though she's in Europe and I'm here in the States! How do you stay in front of and best nurture the relationships you've created? There are a lot of different things I do. I work hard to even just send short messages like, "I haven't talked to you in a long time and I just wanted to reach out to let you know I was thinking about you, I hope everything is well." I don't do that from a brown-nosing perspective, so to speak. I know some people think that's really trite, but that's genuine for me. If you get a message like that from me, it really does mean that I was thinking about you and that something made me think about you, and I just wanted to reach out and let you know. That's big for me. If you could go back to your 20-year-old self, what would you tell yourself to do more or less of or differently with regards to your professional career? What I would tell myself is to have more confidence and be strong in myself. I was such a comparer and that constant act of comparing myself to others was such a roadblock. So just be you, be confident, focus on your strengths, because everybody on this planet has got something of value that they can give wherever they're at. But that comparison thing is just a killer. The best example that I can use is that I got my PhD later in my career. I did it in my 40s and I have a friend that wants to get a second PhD, and I'm really questioning her mental state because it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life! I had this extensive business industry experience, which was amazing and I worked on my PhD a little later. So I'm in the academic life a little bit later and I'm in this entrepreneurial role a little bit later and if you're gonna compare yourself to everybody else, it's really easy to start questioning the things that you're doing. The things that I'm doing right now are really great and I'm insanely excited for 2022. I've got a book coming out, I've got new research coming out, there's some really great stuff going on with my company, I'm just so excited! But it's super easy to get caught up in that comparison and I wish my 20-year-old self would have known that a little bit more because it can be a bit of a roadblock.   Connect with Marya   Connect with Marya through her website at https://www.mwadvising.com/contact and schedule an appointment!

I thought it would be interesting for me to record a few of my thoughts when I'm doing research for the course. And I've had the opportunity this week to talk with one of the Transcendental Meditation representatives. And I had contacted him because I had paid for a refresh of the course because I had done the course. And I was interested in asking a few questions as well as maybe dig into some advanced practices for myself. And also, maybe it's a research for you guys, for the courses, for the podcast, for the YouTube channel. And so I had a discussion with him. I'm not going to say his name, of course, but an older person who has been teaching the official Transient Meditation Court for approximately 50 years, I think he said 40 games. Exactly. And we had a little discussion, and I was not very satisfied with this discussion. This is what I want to talk about today, which is also one of the issues that I have with the whole transcendental Meditation movement. The first issue is I mean, that's maybe going a little bit political, which is not something that I wish to do at all, but there are some correlations in the philosophy here. Every time you meet somebody in 2,021 for the first time, how are you doing? Yes, I'm okay, of course. Boo, you're going to be talking about the virus. And he wanted us to meet, as I said, he's an older gentleman and he does not believe in masks, and he does not believe in vaccine and all these types of things. And I quickly change the subject because I'm not really interested in talking about these things, neither here for you nor with me with some person of the Transcend Meditation organization. Apparently everybody is in medical experts in 2,020, and everybody has their opinions, which they confuse as fat. And I don't really want to dig into that at all, but it kind of shaped the discussion, the feeling of the discussion also. And we talked about meditation. I told him I didn't no, I'm not doing the transplant meditation every day, twice a day, because there are some other types of meditation that I like. I've been doing these vibrational meditations. I've been doing some Panama. I've been doing some mindfulness, some breathing meditations. I've tipped my toes and different types of 10 oriented meditations and all sorts of types of meditations because there's a lot of different techniques. We're going to talk about the relationship between different techniques, something that have been journaling about this. We've also. But anyway, there's a vast array of possibilities because there's a vast array of cultures, because there's a vast array of being able to go to a place where you feel at peace and it doesn't have to be transcendence of the thought doesn't have to go beyond it all. Sometimes it's a contemplation. Sometimes it's a contemplation idea on the concept, on a symbol, sometimes it's a contemplation on your breath, on your body, and so on. And I don't think that there is a better way to meditate. In a note, I think that some meditations are complementary. And I think that some meditations are for different sensitivities and also for different times at different times during the day, for different times in our lives. And so I told him that not specifically like I think that every meditation is valid. But I said Yes have been faring. And he was like, well, you shouldn't do that because transcendental meditation is the only meditation. And I was like, well, no, it's not the only meditation is like, Yes, it is not the only meditation, but it's still need good hesitation. So it's very good that you're coming back to the to the practice in a more advanced way. And I knew that there was no point in in discussing further, because this is the whole this has always been like this in the transient meditation environment for them. And they say it very clearly if you read the book by Bob Roth, Strength and Stillness, if you read the books by Jeff Forum or by Norman Rosenthal, all these people that have been writing extensively options on meditation, who, of course, revolves in the centralization of Mass. And most recently I have been reading a book by Carol Bluefield, Michael Peter Cane and Dennis Jaffe Jaffe. I'm not quite sure how to pronounce. It called TM, Discovering the Inner Energy and Overcoming Stress. And it's kind of interesting because it's one of the first books, Entres and some meditation written in the Lake Sixties, but it always goes into that same direction of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Of course, they don't say that he invented these techniques. He brought them to the West. That's what they say. But his word is a little bit like the word of a Prophet, and his word is the truth and nothing, nothing else is the truth. And this is why a lot of people to tell me or ask me, Yeah, I've been going to the introduction of the Transnet meditation course, but not only it costs 1,000 2,000 dollars, wherever it depends where you are. Not only is it extremely expensive, but I felt it was a little bit of cultish. So I've always asked the question to transfer them from education to cult. And so we would kind of have to define what is a cult. And I also asked if it's a religion. And so we would also have to ask, well, what is a religion? And it's not a cult in the sense that we see it, you know, in the movies, in all documentaries or in new documentaries. Also similar thinks he's Jesus. And everybody thinks he's Jesus. There was one side by a River for that 10 years ago, something like this cult with, you know, living in the same village a lot of the time, one man and multiple women and group events and maybe finish it by a group killing or something crazy like this. And this is the mission we have. And we talked about a cold. Now I don't think that it is a cause. Instead, I did the official training. So they have all my data on my Imation that's been quite aggressive when I've been trying to share my experiences, the people online and offline. And when I say often even me myself. So they were like, Hey, but you shouldn't you shouldn't talk about just on the meditation, even to your wife, to your sister or to to a friend or whatever. And this is very, very, very cute. This is very strange. It's not natural. It's not something that I'm I'm not really okay with that. But to go back to the cultish thing in the religious thing, it is a little bit because they have that certainty. And this is why I digress. I go from thoughts to fall to multiple directions. I apologize for of this, but this is also why should send some meditation was burned from a lot of schools at some point. They wanted to put us in meditation in school. And he would say, well, that's really awesome. And it is I think that mindfulness meditation is something that is extremely important. And I think that meditation is it normal negotiable in art, in age, we get so much input, we get so much similar, so much information. We need to be able to step back, take some perspective, take a nice deep breath. So I do think that meditation should be in schools. I do think that we should also do yoga and these type social practices in schools. It's just as important. Other practices, mental practice, mind practice. And I know if you want to call it spiritual spiritual as just a thought, it's just a simple it's just an idea practice in and of course, non religious inside of schools. But just in meditation was banned from in schools, all schools that were considered secular. And the reason for that is that they have the data that it was religious. So, of course, in transience meditation, in Stars, with that with kind of a religious process. And again, was up to define religion is but we can kind of define it that it has some elements such as certainty. Usually religions are certain that they're right in that nobody else is right, which is the case. But then there are some rituals, which is also the case of. And then there are some representative of God, which is also the case with him. And they don't really say that Mavis is some sort of a Prophet, but they believe in his word as sacred and the word God. It doesn't have to be God, like we see in Christianity, in Islam, with Judaism, but in the creator of all things. And when you talk about pure consciousness. And when we talk about the unified field that there's that could also be a definition of and no, the definition of what I say, go. And you know, I told you about this book, this also from the Sixties. And it starts. It starts. I'm gonna find the sentence right here says, I'm talking about Maharishi. I Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy. I Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy was a star. That means that there is no there's no space for refuting any of his ideas or for even thinking outside of his word. And for me, this is dangerous. This is this is the dark side of face there's of religion. There's a good side of religion in some religions where you are meant to ask questions or where you are meant to. And those are usually derived from religions and their what you might call more Liberal religions, but their religions, but you cannot derive from his word. And transient to meditation is the only one and only meditation practice. That is how. And this is what they tell you. This is what the teachers tell you. This is what the representatives of the organization tell you. And I think that this is very dangerous. So it was the same thing when I took the course, and the teacher asked me, Have you ever meditated before? And they said, Well, Yeah, I've been meditating for some years now, doing some mindfulness meditation and focusing on my breath and so on. She said, Well, then you have never meditated ever in your life. And back in the day, my old self, especially when they took the transcendent meditation course, I took it because I was in a very dark place in my life. I was extremely depressed. And so on. I don't want to go back into my story. But I wasn't a vulnerable point. And I know that there's a lot of people that are in the vulnerable point that might be influenced when somebody tells them this is the truth. This is the truth. This is a certain truth. And by doing this, you will be better than anybody else. And this is also something that is very strange for me is that we transcend thoughts to the source of thought. The source of thought is pure consciousness. Everything around us is created by pure consciousness. Everything is made of pure consciousness, so that's atoms, molecules. And if you go down the other and if you go really to the source, that is pure energy, pure consciousness. And so we are all linked because we all belong to that entity of life, to that pure consciousness. Okay. But still, even though this is what you learn in that philosophy, and it's beautiful. And I love those principles of of quantum field philosophy and ideas, still, they will tell you that this is an advantage over other people if you do it. And this is a problem. This is a problem for me because without other people, you can want to be yourself. Your condensed in a way that everything is dependent upon everything around you. So it's like this with the fans. So it forms is in the soil, and it cannot be apparent without soil. Otherwise. What a dead plant. Right. So it is dependent on its environment. We are as human beings, animals, beings. You can call them However you want, dependent on the nature around us, depending on the consciousness around us. And we are all linked to that consciousness because of these theories of unified feeling. Still, they will say, and I can quote again, the transcender Meditation book and most of these books. I've been studying them because I've been I wanted to go back to some concept, but they're all really marketing elements for the course. But this is what he says, Subscribe unreservedly to his philosophy and his employment of meditation to evolve and the members physical in the physical advantage of others. Advantage of others can't speak very advantage of others. So do this, and you'll be better than the others to be better than the others because you'll be connected. It doesn't really make sense. It doesn't really make sense. And so, Yeah, I find it a little bit. The more I dig into it, the more I find it what you might call it cultish or religious. And I've been also rereading the book by Bob Rob in Stillness, which is basically the features on there this book walking around my room talking, which is something I didn't do before, but I'm enjoying it. I hope it's useful to you. It's approximately 200 pages. There are little pages, but it's approximately 500 pages. And basically it's a 200 page sales letter sales method for the course. So you'll read this is all that to a few hours to read it and will lose a few hours of your life. Why? Because there's no use for information in this book. It just tells you how great and how amazing transcend as a vegetation is. And how do you build credibility? How does it get credibility? It's every single every single change is at least two examples on brands that we trust that will influence us to go to the course and belong to that organization. Give your data and your money was usually is very expensive, the best way to do it in the world, but usually is very expensive. Expensive. So there's name dropping everywhere everywhere they manage to. And this is not only true for this book, but for all of the books on transcendental meditation. So depending on the errors. So this ball bra book, he'll tell you about opera. He'll tell you about Ellen DeGeneres. He'll tell you about Ray Dalio, about Hugh Jackman, about Seinfeld, about these household names that we like that we associate to pleasure that we trust. And the same is exactly the same thing as Pepsi paying Michael Jackson to make a Pepsi Advertisement because you like Michael Jackson. He makes you groove, he makes he taps his foot, he creates joy. He creates a positive reinforcement of that joy. And so when you see a bottle of Pepsi, you think, Hey, I'm associating this to Michael Jackson. So this might be better than Coca Cola because I didn't see Michael Jackson drink Coca Cola. I saw Michael Jackson drinking Pepsi. And so you might buy Pepsi if you see, especially if you've seen that advertise over and over again for a certain amount of time. The next day you go to the shop, you'll buy one of these. This is how advertisements do it. They create trust. They create sentiments. And this is what trans Mental Meditation does. So in this older book by Jack Form, Transient Meditation, this title, he does the same thing in the first chapter with the Beatles. So there's a picture of Mona Vie with the Beatles. And the Beatles went there. And the Beatles were the thing at the time. This was the first version of the book was written in States was they were like the first big pop phenomenon. And so Maharishi has started to do this, quote, unquote marketing for his transplant meditation course. And it was okay. We're kind of because, you know, the but as soon as he started dropping the beetle in a boom, this is where it exploded. He managed to somehow trademark the word trust is meditation and TM and this ancient thousands of year old practice so that none of you guys do if you don't take the official course and learn about it. And I think that this is immoral. And I think that this is wrong. And I don't know this person, Maharishi, but I have met many of his representatives in the last few years, and it's always about that. And so to come back to the discussion that I had with this gentleman, I came out and I was really annoyed. I was really annoyed. And I was not annoyed because because of myself, because I cut this state. I'm annoyed because of other people that might be influenced do such things. And I believe that we have our true power comes from the core of who we are. And ultimately, you can tap the next power. You can tap in your pure consciousness. You can tap in your natural state, your natural intelligence. You can do this in so many ways, meditation being one of the most practical ways. But you don't have to go and you don't have to pay for my course. And you certainly don't have to pay 10 times as much for the transcend meditation course will try to remove the possibilities that it is anything else than the unique truth. When we talk about religion, usually this is what we talk about. There is one single truth that is irrefutable. And this is what transcends the meditation does. And again, in that both Ron book, she says, they are lies and they're like actual lies, or at least things that I perceive as life. He says. Gentle meditation is the oldest type of meditation ever. It's the first. He said. It's the best. But forget about that. That can be considered an opinion. But like you said, historically, it is the first time of meditation. And that is so not true because you could not possibly possibly have any kind of objective proof. About 10,000 years ago, people were not sitting and breathing and that is meditation or reflecting on a thought. And that is meditation. And so this cultivation, this religious view, the transcendence meditation is just the only one. The oldest one in the only valid one is something that and I'm starting to repeat myself. So I'm going to press the stop button on this post count, but I just won't. I just wanted to share this with you. And a lot of people have been asking me, is the course a transman meditation course? And no, it is not translated. The meditation course because I did not belong positions as meditation organization. I do not want to belong to transcend organization, and I do not want to be in any type of form associated to the transcend meditation organization and do not believe that it is fiction. I do not believe that it is virtuous. I'm not going to say that it's evil, but it's just a lot of business trying to take your money away by selling you the hallucination that they even comprehend the truth. Because, you know, and I love this quote and I tell it to all of my students. The first thing that we need is something I would say the first time that we meet, which is the opposite of every big truth is another big truth. I can guide you into trying to open it up to the things that I believe in or that I am particularly sensitive to, and some ideas that I find fascinating and some things that I've tried with myself with some other students before. Thank you. The Internet has now worked with so many people and had so much feedback from meditations. Millions of meditations have been practiced now on the YouTube channel, which is absolutely amazing, but I don't hand the truth. I'll never say that this meditation will be better than the other. I'll never say all these types of things. So no, it's not a different meditation course. It's a course where we will learn to transcend transcend. It just needs to go beyond to go beyond what? To go beyond our thoughts or emotions, their feelings, at least for a certain amount of time. So to start with during our meditation, how through different techniques that we'll talk about that I've extensively talked about in in the past. So mantras, mantra based meditation, and that's also I digress again. But that's also another lie in the above row. But maybe it's not a lie. Maybe I was just scanned in my course, but I took the course from the Transcendent Meditation Organization. It tells you it tells you he has a teacher will create the match for you that specific for you according to your sensitivities, your activity to your job. And this is basically all the data you fill in every single day of the course. You fill in a big yellow paper with all your data. And this is kind of how they give you the at least the first one because absolutely would be happy at least the first one. This is how you get the marker. But it's not true. I've seen the list on the internet very easily. It's very easy. Just Google it and you'll find a list according to your age and there is your mantra. And I've seen the list. I looked at my age and there was my mantra. So there's a whole chapter on how they create the manager specifically for you. And this is not only a lie, this is like a false advertising, isn't it? So what did I say? Yes. Types of meditation to Transend artbased meditations, vibrational meditation, of course, as we do every single day on this podcast, on the YouTube channel, different types of meditations that have studied and tried out, such as chanting and deep listening. And all these types of meditations that are very food will do that. I can assure you you can try them because you can do it for free and you don't have to do the course, but only you don't feel pressured into size. Course you have. I'll share with you. Of course I continue to do so. There's over 500 meditations on the YouTube channel I started posting every day here in default cast. I'm not sure if this will continue because I don't have so much server space. Otherwise I would have to pay much for the how do you say the hosting of the podcast a difference to YouTube. But anyway, we will continue to do a lot of work there. I just want to finish this part from episode by saying that this is not a rare this is me ranting. This is me having this experience, having talked to this guy who is a representative of the TM organization, having dug deep into all of these books and documents and experiences that I've had in the past regarding transplant meditation and the warning in an answer to a question that has been asked to me over and over again, Should I do the transcendence meditation course? What is my secret for police? Is it it calls the religion and this is I thought I would record is a few of my thoughts on the subject. This is kind of an edited podcast where I rumble and mumble and I will press the stop button. If you have any questions, do call me or don't call me because my number to you. Send me an email or message on Instagram or wherever. And I'll do my best to answer you. And if you have some other questions, I might do some other of these talks for I can answer some of your questions the best I can. Okay, guys, I hope you have a nice day. I hope this sound is not too awful, because I'm recording this on my phone, and I'll see you tomorrow for a new meditation. Probably. Take care. Bye.
