Ep 390: From the Vault Ep 158 — Being a Clearing for Leadership.
The Transformational Leader
In today’s episode, I’d be tackling something even the most brilliant of leaders have difficulty dealing with—acknowledging their role in the way people under them are showing up. Understandably, if something is wrong with the team, it’s always easier to deal with the people and issues involved rather than examining your role as a leader in creating that clearing. If you want to feel more empowered as a leader, you need to look through different lenses to check how you are contributing to the issues and what you can do differently. All that and more in this episode!

The Transformational Leader – My Journey: Part 1
The Transformational Leader
On this week’s episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam kicks off a multi-part origin series tracing his path up to choosing coaching - an honest, unvarnished look at how a bright, passionate, open-hearted kid learned to dial down his own light. He explores the meanings he made from early structure and playground bruises, how “trauma” often lives in the stories we create about events, and the survival strategies that followed: hypervigilance, perfectionism, chameleon-like charm, overtalking to avoid intimacy, and numbing to feel creative or safe. Rather than the familiar arc of “it...

The Transformational Leader

There are three levels of leadership through the lens of your projects. Every leader has projects, but not all projects create transformation. Some are driven by fear and urgency, others by comfort and control. Real growth begins when you choose projects that demand transformation, not just effort.
