There is an ambidextrous quality in the capacity to both be in the here and now and embrace that which is emerging at the edge of our awareness. To be grounded at the moment in what is real is itself a portal into the realms of potential. Our job while we are alive is to translate that potential into action. It can be through new permissions in art and poetry, new discoveries in science, and new frontiers in every other field you choose to explore. For people who are curious, who have a sense of wonder, who want understanding or expression, or some way to connect. We are all coming online for life, to be awakened and transformed and revealed. Every person is a live portal and it is energy that sometimes turns up as poetry.

But also there's this mind and this other realm on the edge of transformation that you're talking about that I think we're constantly trying to make connections.” (10:02) (Libby)“Life is poignant. And, if you have the ability to slow down enough to let yourself feel that - in some people it gives rise to music, acts of kindness, dance, some kind of expression of that which is one of the mysteries of being human. And poetry is one of those attempts to embrace that poignancy and do something with it.” (13:59) (Holly)“[For creativity] I need quiet time. I need time outdoors. More than anything else for me, I feel like I just need to remember more about what I am and what we are as people.” (26:11) (Holly)“Scientists are motivated by a passion to discover something. Poets are motivated by a passion to try and capture, express, or release something. Every artist is motivated by some kind of passion. As are children. As is any living life form.” (41:09) (Libby)“In natural processes and in ourselves, transformation is emergent when different octaves, different realms, different levels of process seem to be able to find each other in one space in a unifying crucible that allows that process to be revealed.” (52:06) (Aviv)“One thing that was really important to me as an artist was there is a difference, I think, between the space where you are actually creating and revisiting and refining and then when you decide it leaves you, then it's not yours anymore.” (58:59) (Libby) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteLibby Wagner's Website  Holly Thomas' Website

Libby Wagner                 Start Cultivating Your Leadership Presence  We tend to be pragmatic and ‘business like’ when we are in business, and especially in leadership. After all, there is a certain expectation of us, right? Maybe that is the problem. What we expect they expect really isn’t what they are expecting at all, yet we don’t know how to uncover what that is. Wow, what a conundrum! Be willing to pause from time to time while you save ‘white space’ between the busyness. Slow down to reflect on your mindset, and practice self-assessment and reflection. Consider the idea, “What do I really want as a leader.” Find the time to reflect, pause and observe your reaction and begin becoming those things you desire. Libby Wagner is a poet, author and speaker who is one of the only former poetry professors who is warmly invited into the boardroom. In this podcast, she shares how leaders who may be searching for their own voice can give thought to their leadership presence and how they are being courageous, noticing, saying the unsayable and taking risk. It is a combo that leaders must use every day, and you can begin here.   If you'd like to learn more about Libby Wagner and her work, check out her website here.  You can also learn more about a writing intensive she will be doing in Ireland in 2018 by clicking here.   Click here to check out our newest leadership development tool – LEAD – Leadership Education and Development               Steve Caldwell is an executive mentor and coach to managers and leaders who desire to excel in their career and become the leader others want to follow.
