Episode 59: Start to Retreat
Executive Shaman
Periods of seclusion, intentional rest, and focused attention on the “internal world” are well known to boost our physical, social and emotional well-being. Today, Chris and Krystal discuss why many successful individuals, especially men, still struggle to “retreat.” Although we want more space and time to reflect, concentrate our own energy and focus on ourselves, actually taking it does not come naturally. We offer guidance for making retreats more accessible at the psychological and relational

Episode 58: Start To Think for Yourself
Executive Shaman
Many times, we go with the group when it is goes against our truth, or it impedes the group's well-being. By the time we are adults, we have had many experiences of conforming to social convention and reverting to cultural traditions. We don't have relationships that challenge us, or encourage us to think for ourselves. Kristy and I converse about the discipline of "thinking for yourself." Be aware...consistent use WILL transform every relationship you are in. Mostly, the one you have with yourself.

Episode 57: Stop faking it
Executive Shaman
Sometimes we deceive others, and sometimes we decision ourselves. Often we become so used to "this is how it is" or to how things look that we forget who we are, what we stand for, and what our bodies are telling us. This discipline isn't easy to adopt. You will upset others. And, following your truth TAKES ENERGY. Yet, if you only committed to one discipline this entire year, this might be the one that produces the most benefit for your SOUL.

Episode 56: Start to Stand Up for Something
Executive Shaman
Life gives us a lot of opportunity to grow & learn. This season of uncertainty and confusion will trigger us to react. It also will invite us to slow down. To reflect and re-identify with what we stand for. From this place, responsible action is more efficient. We are ready and capable to rise together---create the places, programs, politics, people and ways of being that are aligned with our own heartful, intentional visions. What do you stand for? How can you consciously stand for it?

Episode 55: Start to Help Others Take Risks
Executive Shaman
The adult brain has a lot of built in systems to reduce and avoid risk taking. Our higher mind, however, understands that we get better results when we behave in “non-standard” (aka risky!) ways. Pauline and Krystal discuss how to influence others to take risks, innovate and motivate others to do the same. We suggest how to take result-driven risks at work and share a few personal commitments.

Episode 54: Stop Trying to Balance it All
Executive Shaman
The myth that we can “achieve balance” leads to burn out, inauthentic posturing and perfectionistic individualism. Mindful leaders accept that they can't do everything, all at once, and healthy organizational cultures instead of expecting staff to “balance” their insane amount of responsibilities on their own. Setting priorities, honoring boundaries and asking for help must replace this over simplistic, and covertly dangerous, message.

info_outlineSecurity and stability are essential needs, driving many beliefs, emotions and behaviors. We expect things to stay the same, and yet also live in a very uncertain world. Change occurs naturally. Whether we want it, are ready for it, or understand it---things change. Transformation, however, requires insight, compassion and courage. It is the type of change where we genuinely progress, with absolute resolution. Most of us don’t do the latter, so we can’t fully do the former. Don and Krystal discuss some key tricks of personal and teams that compel us through the stages of transformation.
