Unbounded Mind, with Shonte Jovan Taylor

“We don’t work in a production line any more for the most part, and I don’t think in the current workplaces that we have, this nine to five, Monday to Friday, is the way that it should work. I don’t think it does work… largely, we have moved away from like production work, industrial work, to more creative work…. even tech work is very creative work. To me creativity means space. You can’t schedule creativity.” - Anantadev   Growing up in the outskirts of London, Anantadev found himself surrounded by poverty, crime, and segregation. He understood that the world around him was not quite right, but for years, he simply watched, feeling helpless. This was his adolescence, and although he may not have known it at the time, all his rough-and-tumble experiences were preparing him for a higher calling. Every time he faced something traumatic, he was also facing his inner growth, and slowly but surely, questions arose within him – deep, meaningful questions that would guide him towards his path.   Today Anantadev is a wisdom teacher, personal development coach and thought leader in the field of inner transformation. He also serves as a Bay Area CEO at the forefront of social change philanthropy.   Highlights from this episode  Outer achievements, lack of balance [3:20] Outdated systems [6:04] Toxic masculinity [9:15] Exploitation, property [11:20] Balancing masculine and feminine values [14:15] Inner ethics, outer ethics [18:00] Race to the bottom [21:25] Shadow, fears, growth [26:30] How we find our greater cause [30:10]    Quotes “When you look at things as property… land, assets, human beings -as they did in the past… inherently you take away the rights of the things that you are looking at.” [11:27] “We have to reassess our value system, and it’s not about getting to the top, but rather how you are striving to grow and achieve things.”  [15:30] “Meaning is a far more satisfying pursuit than happiness.” [37:00]   Anantadev’s website: https://anantadev.com Maria’s website: https://remoteclo.com

Meaning is a far more satisfying pursuit than happiness, with Anantadev

“In the infancy stage of development, boys have more emotional reactivity than girls. Once a boy gets around the teenage years… almost every westernized man, have some story in their life where they’ve been deeply shamed for expressing emotions. Men were shamed around sadness, but women were shamed just as much, typically around anger, … clean anger is hard for anyone to express." – Mark Guay Mark Guay is a meditation teacher and performance coach based in San Diego, California. He combines developmental psychology with the ancient art of the chakra system to unlock your unlimited potential and lead a life with greater purpose, energy, and connection.  Highlights from this episode  What does it take for a human to feel [4:20] Sharing feelings with a man vs sharing feelings with a woman [6:45] What we need to unlearn from our conditioned childhood [9:25] What happens when a man opens up in front of other men [11:18] What does it mean when a man says ‘I just don’t cry’ [13:40] What men can do if their emotions have been silenced for too long [17:38] What could women do to hold space for emotional expression [19:10] What would it take for men to safely honor emotions in the workplace [24:45] How to interact with emotions in five steps [29:24]  Quotes “It’s a minority still out there… particularly in leadership roles, for people to have this embodied high emotional intelligence.” [16:50] “The human being does not stop developing after the physical body develops… you can continue to expand and grow, it’s an infinite game.” [22:36] Resources mentioned in this episode:  Robert Kagan’s theory of Adult Development Drama Triangle Men Talks Podcast The Mankind Project  Transformation Through Intimacy Book  Nature and The Human Soul Book More about Mark Guay  Mark’s website Join Mark’s Men Circle Meditate with Mark on InsightTimer   Maria's website: https://remoteclo.com

Building Character and Way of Being - the Path to Authenticity, with Marc Lesser

Alan Sieler

“The manner in which we observe determines what we observe. But ... how aware are we of how we observe and how we can change that? The only place we can observe from is our Way of Being, which is where our perceptions and attitudes live, many of which are deep-seated and out-of-awareness.”– Alan Sieler Alan is the Director of Newfield Institute. He has designed a world-leading in-depth, comprehensive and internationally accredited coach-training program, the Certified Ontological Coaching and Leadership Program (formerly GraduateDiploma of Ontological Coaching). Alan also works with a network of colleagues in different countries in the delivery of Ontology as a robust business improvement methodology for organizations to enhance leadership capability, eliminate coordination waste and develop collaborative capital as the means to building a high-performance culture.

It's Time for Change, where do we start, with Alan Sieler

Elaina Noell

“The secret to inspiring accountability and engagement starts with asking:  What makes us human? What drives us toward or away from tasks? What inspires us to give our best? What motivates us to shut down? What, exactly, determines our happiness and fulfillment at work?  We begin in the brain, where all experience and engagement begins!” – Elaina Noell Elaina helps organizations design cultures that increase employee engagement, productivity and fulfillment. Her approach focuses on working with human dynamics and neuroscience to positively inspire sustainable results instead of trying to enforce ideals that lead to defensiveness, mutual frustration and disengagement. She recently published her second book 'Inspiring Accountability in the Workplace'. Highlights from this episode  What is wrong with traditional accountability [5:15] Why so many people are disengaged at work today [7:30] The pressure for people to live their best lives and do work they love has become a reason to be ashamed, when that’s not happening [8:45] Our brain wants more rewards more quickly, but it’s not always practical [9:25] We need serotonin in the workplace and leaders can produce it, it is non-negotiable for humans [16:25] Accountability is crucial in changing a culture [25:26] Proactive versus responsive accountability [25:50] The results model framework last question [31:20] Why we procrastinate [32:04] What leaders do we need in 2020 and beyond [35:27]  Elaina’s website: https://www.inspiringaccountability.com Elaina's book: Inspiring Accountability in the Workplace: Unlocking the Brain's Secrets to Inspiring Engagement, Accountability and Results Quotes ‘What you don’t address you approve” [6:30] ‘We are all just trying to feel like we are contributing meaningfully, like we are good at what we are doing, but it’s not always gonna be every day feeling like ‘wow, I’ve completely lived up to my full potential’…and I think that puts a lot of pressure on the employees and a lot of pressure on leaders [9:10] ‘Surprise recognition is what most spikes the serotonin in employees’ [7:00] ‘Only when an excuse is brought to light can it become part of the solution’ [29:54] ‘Our brain seeks the task that has more actionable clarity because there is more reward associated with it’ [31:52] Maria’s Website: https://remoteclo.com

Inspiring Accountability, with Elaina Noell - part 1

The Ontological Leader invites us to open the covers of our life, so we can find the marvels inside. It invites us to explore our life as an ongoing narrative, where we can constantly refine the inner landscape of our being. The human soul is the hidden side of business.

Alan Seale

"The black and white world is easy… life is a thousand shades of gray! When we feel fear, anxiety, or an urgent need to act, our natural reaction is often to go straight to the head to figure out what to do. We look for a way to make everything alright, to find a solution, or to find a way out of what is happening. Unfortunately, this approach usually leads to more stress and anxiety rather than effective response." - Alan Seale In this episode Alan shows us how to use our multiple forms of intelligence we possess, versus being only in the head and intellectualizing everything.   Alan Seale is an award-winning author, inspirational speaker, transformation catalyst, master teacher and mentor to many leaders and coaches, and the founder of the Center for Transformational Presence.   Highlights from this episode  The intuitive mind is the larger mind, of which the intellect is just one small part [3:17] Whole-mind thinking and whole-being awareness [5:30] The belly intelligence lives only in the present moment [7:15] How to discern what to pay attention to in the moment [11:50] How do we understand the journey of our lives? [17:00] HOW is a paralyzing question, how to shift away from it? [18:30] Intellect does not go away when we listen to our other forms of intelligence [18:11] Learning to listen with all our senses in life and leadership [31:25] What is intuitive leadership [35:11]    Alan’s work mentioned in this episode https://transformationalpresence.org  Transformational Presence: How To Make a Difference In a Rapidly Changing World, by Alan Seale  Create a World That Works: Tools for Personal and Global Transformation, by Alan Seale  From Fear to Love, Head to Heart, Start in the Belly   Quote “The intellect lives in the short term, is more focused on problem solving, on what needs to be fixed, what needs to happen right here right now… for short term gain. The intuitive mind is speaking to us, showing us information about a much bigger picture than the intellect alone. It’s not one or the other… we must enter the world of discernment – the wisdom to recognize the better path…what will serve in the bigger picture the most.” [10:01] “If our leaders would first ask the question ‘What are we learning right now?’ as opposed to pushing against the other side constantly, that already would make a change. If we could listen for ‘what is in services of the space where everyone wins, where everyone gets at least some of what they need’!” [32:10] Maria’s Website: https://remoteclo.com

Step Back and Pay Attention, with Alan Seale - part 2

“Transformation is a shift in vibrational frequency or pattern… Our biggest assignment in this life is to pay attention, so that we constantly are expanding our awareness… The future belongs to those who can listen to it, follow it, to where it’s asking us to go, to recognize that there is something that is wanting to happen… The intuitive mind is the larger mind, the intellect is just a small part of that large intuitive mind…” – Alan Seale Alan Seale is an award-winning author, inspirational speaker, transformation catalyst, master teacher and mentor to many leaders and coaches, and the founder of the Center for Transformational Presence.

Healing is about returning to our course.’ Ruchi traveled, worked and studied in over 35 countries and her experience traverses the healthcare industry, policy, research, public relations and clinical medicine.

The Ontological Leader

Grant Hunter is a serial entrepreneur with over 25 years of corporate training, marketing and franchising experience in the U.S., Japan, and Peru. He’s been immersed in and based out of the Silicon Valley, involved in a variety of e-business activities for a Fortune 500 company and a boutique marketing startup he co-founded and later sell  in San Francisco called INBOX Marketing, and in his role as Founder/ CEO of Microfranchise Solutions (MFS). It was through MFS that he promoted enterprise solutions to poverty in the developing world first in Peru and over 30 other countries.   Higher purpose has really been the through-line of his own evolution in his role as a social entrepreneur over the last 10 years and now working with companies as a Purpose Guide and Leadership Development consultant at Syntropy.    Healing the wound between money and meaning, profit and purpose to enable business to be a force for good is his personal purpose and the work he does in the world. There is a restlessness in the marketplace for conventionally successful people in business who hunger for more, who feel called to play a bigger game and take a longer view.  Business can be a vehicle for both personal fulfillment and as a positive agent of change in the world and in fact, the two are intimately connected.  Syntropy teaches people and organizations the practices they need to catalyze this more conscious view of capitalism every day at work.   About Grant: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grantmhunter/ Website: www.syntropycenter.com Email: grant@syntropycenter.com Maria’s Website: https://remoteclo.com

Connie Larkin

Connie Larkin is an ontological educator who does not like titles. This is how she describes herself instead: "I live my life with passion, in constant dance with the Present. For me, the most empowering relationships are the ones based on respect, where the people involved are open to listen and are committed authentically to evolving…in those relationships I blossom.  For me Education is an "Inside Job"! Nobody can make you educate yourself except you. I find self-education to be the most honorable way to live life, always being committed to one's own evolution! In the language of Possibility which I adopted in 1983 as being the only one that honors the most the human being, I am who I say I am. Who I say I am is any possibility of being that most inspires me."

Integrity with SELF and the power of responsibility,  with Connie Larkin

Connie Larkin is her own words: I love anything that has to do with using my own thinking, and I am fascinated with the freedom to be. Fortunatelly, one day I met an education that 'opened the door' and I got to know my own thinking and I got free. The great thing I found out is that educating myself depends on me alone. This extraordinary education is called 'ontological' and its results are seen instantaneously; it makes one be aware and be filled with awe, joy, power and inspiration in the face of anything one does, now, in the present.
