The Transformational Leader
While unfortunate to note, many people (including powerful leaders), assume not honouring their word is harmless. However, if truth be told, not keeping your word has a significant impact not only in your life but in your leadership as well. When you don’t honour and keep your word, you end up losing people’s trust both in you as a person and as a leader. So what makes honouring your word challenging? Why is keeping your word a crucial component of a powerful leadership? And how do you stay true to your word? Please join me as I discuss the answers to those questions and more in this...
info_outline Ep 337: Transformational, Facilitative and Neutral ConversationsThe Transformational Leader
There are three kinds of conversations that we usually see in coaching and leadership. These are neutral conversations, facilitative conversations, and transformational conversations. Transformational conversations are the type of conversation that most people get into coaching for. It is more of seeing your blind spots. Inside a transformational conversation, we are entering into the context that there are some things that you simply cannot see with your own eyes. Facilitative conversation tends to be more of the steps you need to take. After the transformational conversation, the...

info_outline Ep 335: Trusting Yourself vs. Being ImpenetrableThe Transformational Leader
In this episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney distinguishes between trusting yourself versus being impenetrable. It is important to see the distinction between these two because they can look similar on the surface. A lot of leaders in the world believe that they are showing signs of trusting themselves. But the reality is that they are showing up in a particular way that is actually the antithesis of trusting themselves—they are the opposite of it. That is impenetrability. Impenetrability is where you have a belief or way of being in the world where you show up, and others can...
info_outline Ep 334: Procrastination and Passive ResistanceThe Transformational Leader
Procrastination is something that most of us have a particular context around, and that context around procrastination is that it is like a problem we have. Statements like, "I just need to overcome my procrastination." What we do is create a separate entity called procrastination that we have. The idea here about procrastination is that it is simply a form of resistance. There are a million reasons you might be resisting something. We procrastinate, and ultimately, it is a form of resistance. When we start to look at resistance, it becomes very simple. Listen and know more about...
info_outline Ep 333: The Impact of Being RightThe Transformational Leader
In this episode, Adam Quiney talks about the ontology of being always right. Anytime you've been around a leader who always got the answer or is always right, that's the ontology or the way of being that we are going to talk about. It is a way of being that is automatic and unconscious. The way of being of being right. These are the leaders that if you volunteer something, they are already aware of it. They already know that. The underlying experience that this creates is that there is no way for you to actually have an impact; everything you bring bounces off. While...
info_outline Ep 332: How to Catch, Reflect and Transform Someone's ImpactThe Transformational Leader
How to catch and reflect on someone's impact? How to provide feedback? It is a big issue in leadership not only because a lot of people simply avoid providing feedback but the other thing that happens is that people give feedback, but it does not land. The impact someone is having is the way how they are showing up, and what they are doing lands on other people. We are continually having our impact even when we go out of our way to not have an impact. We always have an impact. Sometimes, our impact in service is in alignment with our intention, and other times, we have one intention but our...
