Podcasts about mindful leadership summit

The old way of showing up to work meant shoving our emotions away, not being vulnerable and putting on a facade of confidence, no matter what. Admitting you were afraid, unsure or overwhelmed? That was an absolute no-no.   The problem is, this also meant we were showing up without a lot of the intelligence we actually need to have emotionally healthy workplaces and great results.   Today, we give our emotions a seat on the team, we tap into the intelligence of our feelings, and we are vulnerable when we feel afraid or uncertain. Not only does this create a new way to work, but a new language for living. It allows us to band together as teams and face this rapidly changing world as an emotionally intelligent unit.   How do we invite emotional intelligence to work? Why must this process start with committed leaders? In this episode, co-founder of The Conscious Leadership Group, Diana Chapman shares how work is changing for the better and how we can start working alongside our feelings.     Vulnerability in leadership is now an act of courage, not an act of weakness. -Diana Chapman   Four Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -The intelligence of fear  It's okay to say “I don't know”, “I'm doing the best I can” - how do we demystify being vulnerable and what impact can it have on even the bottom line?   -Pay less in “drama tax”  Teams cut off from their emotions pay a lot in “drama tax”. How does this weigh our teams down, and how can we create awareness of this dynamic and get our team out of reactivity?   -The rise of bottom-up leadership  The old way of introducing changes to a workplace was for leaders to tell people what to do. Why do leaders need to commit to befriending their feelings before anyone else?    -Teach the class If something we don't want happens, how can we use play to recreate the situation and laugh our way to creative solutions?   Guest Bio   Diana Chapman is the co-founder of The Conscious Leadership Group.

Normally on the show, I interview military veterans about what they're doing post-service. My guest today is not a military veteran, but I believe her message and perspective are a great contribution to our community.  Diana has helped a lot of veterans and is one of the authors of a book called The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, and I am so honored to have her on the show. I love this book so much that I send a copy of it to every new client that I sign up for my company, Executive Presence. In this conversation, we talk about your zone of genius and how to find a career that fits into that. We speak about limiting beliefs about ourselves, how those can cause us to rule out careers and career paths that we really shouldn't, and how to identify and overcome those limiting beliefs. We also talk about integrity. Diana's definition of integrity is slightly different from what I learned about at the Naval Academy and in the military. And I think it's very powerful. And then lastly, we speak about shifting to a life of play, how to gamify things rather than take everything seriously, and how much faster we learn when we find a way to do it through play.

Ask yourself - as a leader, are you coming from a place of fear and uncertainty? Do you look for fault and blame in others, cling to an opinion and fixed worldview, and believe in scarcity over abundance? Or are you open to outside interpretations, curious about the world around you, and committed to learning more about yourself and those around you? In other words, are you leading below or above the line? That’s the topic of this week's Brand Builder, as we explore the concepts contained in The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, a fantastic read and a book that can help you become the leader your brand needs to level-up. On the show is Diana Chapman, one of the book’s co-authors and a founding partner at Conscious Leadership Group. Diana has coached more than 1,000 organizational leaders and many of their teams, is a TEDx speaker, and has given keynotes everywhere from the Mindful Leadership Summit, to the Stanford Graduate School of Business and UC Berkeley Haas School of Business - and a lot more. To say that this book has had a huge influence on the culture and leadership style at SnackNation is a major understatement. We apply the precepts within it as we all strive to get better every day. In this episode, Diana explains both how to practice conscious leadership and why it’s so important, both to our businesses and our lives.  While we absolutely recommend reading the book, here's a quick rundown of the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership that Diana discusses.  Commitment 1 - Radical Responsibility   The idea with this first commitment is to locate the “cause and control” inside us, not in external events. This means we stop believing that the world should be a particular way, and instead believe that the world just shows up. In the second part of this process, we move from rigid, closed mindedness to curiosity, learning and wonder (something that naturally occurs if the first shift happens.) But most of all, radical responsibility is not about being right! Letting go of the need to be right is something all top tier leaders do. Commitment 2 - Learning through Curiosity Conscious leaders are passionately committed to knowing themselves (the basis of curiosity) and allow themselves to wonder. Success here depends on approaching people with an unreasonable benefit of the doubt, especially those you manage. Be truly curious in what they say. Commitment 3 - Feeling All Feelings So many leaders stay in their head and don’t access their guts or hearts enough. To be an effective leader, you need to acknowledge all your feelings. Emotions are just energy in motion. They’re neither good nor bad - they just are. The key is learning how to deal with your emotions and process them. Every feeling we experience is a way for us to grow and improve in awareness. Commitment 4 - Speaking Candidly According to the book, the team that “sees reality the best wins.” So many people are scared to speak candidly, but when they do that they’re robbing themselves and other people from the natural flow of energy, from what really needs to be said. Commitment 5 - Eliminating Gossip Gossip is defined as anything said with harmful intent, that you wouldn’t say in front of the other person. While gossip is a manifestation of our species’ desire for deep social bonds, it no longer serves us, especially in business. Here we break down why we gossip, and discuss strategies for reversing and avoiding our tendency to engage in this destructive behavior. Commitment 6 - Practicing Integrity Remember that integrity has nothing to do with being right or wrong, it’s all about being whole. (The root of integrity is integer, after all.) We discuss the importance of not blocking the natural flow of energy, and the Four Pillars that help us maintain our integrity. Commitment 7 - Generating Appreciation For this commitment, we talk about what it means to give people the unreasonable benefit of the doubt and why leaders need first and foremost to pay attention. Additionally, we dive into the various reasons why people don’t accept appreciation, and what masterful appreciation really looks like. Commitment 8 - Express Your Zone of Genius This commitment is all about finding that one thing that you do well and love to do. Similar to concepts like "unique ability" and flow state,  your "zone of genius" is the area where you make the most valuable, creative contribution. Commitment 9 - Remember to Play Contrary to what most of us are taught earl in life, work doesn't have to be nothing but stress, misery, and toil. Play, laughter, and improvisation are vital to being productive and fulfilled. (Besides, what good is life without a little bit of laughter?) Commitment 10 - Consider the Opposite of Your "Story" We all have a "story" - it's the way we see the world, the assumptions we take with us when we approach problems. The idea here is to consider that the opposite of your story is as true or truer than your own. Commitment 11 - Be Your Own Approval Commit to being your own source of approval, rather than relying on it from others. Commitment 12 - Recognize You Have Enough How many times have you caught yourself saying "if only I had enough time. Enough money. Enough support. Enough space. Enough energy." This commitment reminds us that this imagined state of "enough" is never going to happen, and asks us to be satisfied in what we have now - and get stared solving problems! Commitment 13 - See People as Allies Whether or not you consider someone an ally or obstacle is largely a matter of choice. So which would you rather have, enemies or allies? Choose allies.  Commitment 14 - Win for All Recognize that life is not a zero-sum game and commit to creating win-for-all outcomes. Commitment 15 - Be the Resolution Finally, the most important commitment - be the resolution the world needs. Stop being content with apathy and recognize problems as opportunities to step up and become the solution.

This is the first interview in a special series spotlighting the Inspiring Children Foundation. I'm starting off the series with co-founder Ryan Wolfington.  Ryan and I met during a social hour of the Mindful Leadership Summit in Washington DC where I was doing interviews for the Meditate This! Podcast.  I'm standing at my table just cleaning up and putting away my mic, and this lone wolf appears out of the crowd and asks what I'm up to, and the next thing you know we've been standing there talking for about an hour and half.  I found a lot in common with Ryan, certainly a passion for meditation and mindfulness, eating plant based, but something about him seemed a little off.  You know different from most people I've met.   As I talked to him over the next couple days of the summit, it became apparent that Ryan operates completely on intuition, doing what he feels is right, with little or no agenda.  Quite honestly, until I sat down with him for this interview two months after that initial meeting, he was a total enigma.  But then I learned that Ryan used to be a much different person, perhaps more "normal" if you will.     He grew up in Philadelphia, part of a big Irish Catholic family, and from a young age he and his twin brother Sean were a on a path to greatness, full of ambition.  Ryan aspired to be a titan in business, but something got in the way if his aspirations.  That something was what you might call the abyss, a feeling of nothingness, emptiness, or meaninglessness in life.  He was a 26 year old, president of a company making almost a half million dollars on track to achieve everything he ever dreamed of and then found himself lying in bed one day, feeling like he was dying crying out to god for help. After an event you'll hear about in this interview, Ryan examined his life with a deep heartfelt sadness and honesty.  He eventually harnessed the same energy he had once used on his way to becoming powerful in business, to becoming a complete human being, living by intuition only and with deep sense of meaning.  He underwent a personal transformation that has led him to living with peace, happiness, and joy.  Meaningful relationships are important to Ryan, and we start off this interview talking about the earliest and most meaningful relationship in his life with his twin brother Sean.  In Part 1 we cover his personal transformation and then continue in Part 2 discussing the start of the Foundation and the challenges along the way.  There is a lot in here, a lot of insight, wisdom, emotion, and honesty. And by the end you will see clearly why the Foundation has positively affected the lives of so many children.  Something they often say in the Foundation is if you do right you feel right.  It's as simple as that.   And nothing sums up the message of this interview better than that.   So please welcome, Ryan Wolfington, co-founder of Inspiring Children Foundation.  Thanks for listening, PF www.DeepSitPodcast.com
