Introduction   Aidan James Higgins is the CEO of ADEO Consulting. He is a Leadership Consultant, Emotional intelligence & Teamwork specialist and is passionate about getting people to be at their best. He is the author of the book Lead From You, which launched at the end of 2021 and is now in 7 countries.    Podcast Episode Summary   This episode speaks to three concepts, awareness, authenticity & emotional intelligence. Aidan employs the psychometric The Enneagram to support leaders understand themselves and others better and to Lead from You.  Points made across the podcast episode    Fish Slap story explored and why it resonated with Aidan. He was woken up at a Management Training Program where he realised, he was living from one world view. The training had shocked Aidan that the world he had been inhabiting was only one point of view.   Most of us are asleep. We are working on our programming without interrogating it to improve our self- awareness.  Aidan wrote the book Lead From You because of the appreciation clients & friends held for the work and their interest in learning more.  Feedback from the book suggests readers are appreciating the importance of self-awareness and how it is contributing to clarity of decision making, trust building, empathy & compassion  Aidan points out that we must have self-compassion to appreciate we have grown up to be & do in a particular way and until we come to be aware we think it is the only way.  Aidan has attempted to author a book that helps a person be a more complete person, to be happier and to lead.  Aware, emotionally intelligent & authentic Leadership is what is needed in the 21st century  People & Leaders need to wake up and pull back what is referred to as the veil of illusion.  To become self-aware, to be authentic and emotionally intelligent requires of a leader or team member to wake up. Once people wake up, they generally become curious to learn more.  Resistance is often present in this work, too many of us are trained to avoid emotion, being soft and being empathetic or compassionate.  People do not realise they are unaware. Aidan shares a story from Anthony de Mello to help explain what he means by being self-aware.  Tich Na Han says “people will not change until they are sick of suffering” We are subject to a programming that was brought into us early on in our lives. We make all kinds of assumptions about the way we are to lead or act. Example: Must remain in control.  Benefits of becoming self-aware & other awareness means clearer decisions, clearer emotional awareness and therefore information, access to creativity and innovation.  We evolve a view of the world until we see it from where it has come and how useful it is to remain. For example, the child who learns to please people to get attention or a person who is ignored if they do not win can be programs that thwart successful leadership in the future.  Becoming self-aware is not a thing you do it is about understanding. Knowing what water is doesn't make you wet.  Aidan helps clients become aware by first creating a safe space to be together and then by sharing how people are likely to have come up through the world. He shares his framework and gives people space to reflect on their beliefs, habits and patterns, ways that have informed up until now.  Aidan shares another example where he asks a client how is feeling when he is not working. The client responded “trapped” and felt the rise of anxiety when he wasn't doing anything. This client then became aware that underneath is drive to get things done, there was an anxiety driving this way of being.  Understanding changes behaviour not a set of things to do.  Sometimes you ask someone how they feel, and they do not have the words or language to tell you. It can often be about giving clients words.   According to a Harvard Business Review, improved self-awareness on teams doubles decision making capability & doubles the ability of a team to deal with conflict.  The Enneagram is a system that has been around for years. Authored by the Greeks who divined that there were 9 ways to look at the world. These world views begin around the time of a child where object constancy is understood. It is similar but deeper than MYERS BRIGGS type indicator.  The Enneagram employed on teams helps team members understand each other better. Understanding in turn leads to emotional intelligence.  Working with a team, Aidan will start by building the self-awareness of the members of the team, often by using the Enneagram tool. Then he moves to create awareness of the other members of the team, which often brings a team to compassion and fuller sharing.  Team Emotional Intelligence explores nine norms. 3 Team Fundamental Norms: Roles and Responsibilities, Meetings and Goals & Objectives. 3 Individual Norms: Understanding Team Members, Demonstrating Care, Addressing undesirable behaviours, 4 Team Norms, Review the team, Support Expression, Build Productivity Proactively and Build Optimism, 2 External Norms; Build external relationships & Understand Team Context. These nine norms lead to three outcomes: Psychological Safety, Team Identity and Constructive Dialogue.  Aidan is amazed at how often the team fundamentals have not been worked. In an example Aidan shares how a Team Leader confused sending a team memo about the purpose of the team and their roles meant that they had been communicated with and would therefore understand.  Other examples of where teams get stuck include conflict avoidance believing “we are too nice” can mean bringing new ideas is risky.  Addressing team norms early on can mean a team becomes more effective early on and can in many instances take on bigger projects. Team resistance comes from being too quick with the change and not allowing buy-in over time, not explaining the “why” for change & not taking care to identity willing enthusiasts who could tip the team into working with the change.  With some teams all you can expect to get to is professional respect. Personal conflicts can mean enmity for years.  Resistance can also present from a formed organisational culture.  Teams need to remember that changing the composition of a team means that previous shared understanding is temporality lost, requires a period of mourning and then a willingness to induct new members. Teams must move back to Norm and storm where they had originally moved through all the four phases of team development: forming, norming, storming and performing.  Aidan explains that understanding is a holistic phenomenon.  Team Emotional Intelligence requires that a team deals with emotions, and we deal with them as they arise. Some people are terrified of emotions, or some of the 9 types are terrified especially in a high-pressured business that needs to get things done. There is fear that emotional expression will slow the team down. Instead, the team needs to generate appropriate boundaries, self-regulate and self-correct. The evolutionary mind suggests that teams are tribal, require a purpose and a Leader is appointed by way of certain needed tasks.  Notwithstanding that Aidan has already littered this conversation with anecdotes and stories he was asked to share a story of a team that illuminates his work. He chose a large team that was asked to go through extraordinary change, to cut costs while simultaneously improving productivity. This team was not provided all the information available, and they were not allowed to communicate the required change to those on the ground. Luckily the team were already self-aware, were IQ, EQ savvy and had each taken the Enneagram survey. Aidan had been working with the same team for two years. The situation demanded an understanding on the self of ambiguity, the impact of mindsets they needed to influence and the impact of culture.  That project was about teaching the team to focus on Purpose, decision making, trust and resilience but also about their own personal issues with control & trying & failing that needed to be managed.   Organisations today need to think in terms of Teams of Teams to be able to deal with the pressures & demands of today's business. Complexity and expertise at the edges makes the case for this way of thinking. Teams need to be agile and have a peer structure where everybody contributes and where the Leader is a servant or at a minimum a supporter of the team.  Positive conflict is encouraged along diversity of opinion & an appetite emotional discourse within boundaries.  Finally, teams need time to reflect & improve.    Resources shared:    Books: Aidan James Higgins: Lead from You Website: www.adeo.ie

Author and podcaster Tom Secker, host of the ClandesTime podcast and writer / publisher of Spyculture.com, joins us to discuss the 2005 Tom Cruise movie, War Of The Worlds, which is based on the famous H.G. Wells novel.  Both its development and release during the early days of the War on Terror and the war in Iraq give it that “Could this be terrorists…again?!!” facade, while the military units seem more interested in crowd control than fighting the aliens.  Lastly, it's undeniably a Steven Spielberg movie through and through; be prepared to root for a hero who does almost nothing heroic.

Ross Caputi and Scott Spaulding join us to discuss The Sacking of Fallujah, both the event and the book which Ross co-wrote.  Fallujah is seen by the American empire as a great victory over the burgeoning Sunni insurgency during the early years of Operation Iraqi Freedom, but for the people of Fallujah and their descendants, it is nothing less than the entire destruction and poisoning of their people and land.  Birth defects are rampant among the population, spurred by the use of heavy munitions like white phosphorus, depleted uranium, and thermobariacs, which have destroyed the environment for generations. Ross' book, The Sacking of Fallujah: A People's History (Culture and Politics in the Cold War and Beyond), is a great primer on the subject, as well as a detailed microcosm of the war in Iraq and its tactics.  I consider it a must-buy.

Here's part 2 of our discussion with Camilo Mejia, this one focusing much more on Nicaragua, the history of the Sandinista movement, and the many ways U.S. hybrid warfare affects it all. Road from Ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Sergeant Camilo Mejia Camilo Mejia was born in Nicaragua but moved to the US as an adolescent. Shortly after graduating from high school, after only two college semesters, he joined the U.S. Military and was eventually deployed to Iraq in 2003. After five months in active combat, including posts in Baghdad, al Haditha, al Assad, and al Ramadi  he was sent home on leave, where he recognized and publicly condemned the Iraq war as criminal and immoral. He was subsequently court-martialed and charged with desertion, and sent to serve nine months of incarceration at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. Mejia lives in Miami and continues to actively speak out against U.S. imperialism.

We're back with friend of the pod, James Higgins to go over Act 2 of Sunday in the Park with George. We're talking themes and music theory but don't let that scare you as it's utterly fascinating and might just change how you view this show, even if you already love it!!

https://Art2Life.com - I don't know about you, but I feel pretty distracted in my art practice. The news of Ukraine, mass suffering, and loss of innocent lives is heartbreaking. The specter of COVID remains in our daily reports and challenges us still. As artists, we are sensitive and hyper-aware of what we see and feel. This sensitivity works in our favor while in modes of creation, but navigating a world filled with violence and suffering is not so easy.  I know, or at least I can remember, that our art practice reconnects us to deeper truths, not just in ourselves but in all of us. I'm trying to remember that art-making is ultimately connection-making. And a connected world is a better one. But lately, I've just been feeling a little lost. Join me today, as I sit down with my friend, yoga practitioner, mindfulness guide, and teacher, James Higgins. I think our conversation will restore a bit of your faith as it did mine. In addition, it served as a reminder of the importance of staying connected to our practice, not just for ourselves but for the world.

A great conversation with the amazing Jeffery James Higgins. He's a former reporter and retired supervisory special agent who writes thriller novels, short stories, creative nonfiction, and essays. He has wrestled a suicide bomber, fought the Taliban in combat, and chased terrorists across five continents. During his career, he made the first narco-terrorism arrest, convicted the world's most prolific heroin trafficker, and arrested an Iranian operative trying to acquire surface-to-air missiles. Jeffrey received both the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Heroism and the DEA Award of Valor.For the past year, we've all watched as the “defund the police” movement has spread acrossthe country, leading to skyrocketing crime and violence.
