This episode builds on many prior conversations exploring work that we can do on ourselves, including living authentically, trauma and the nervous system, nonviolent communication, transforming relational conflict, and optimal zone resilience. It demonstrates how the work on ourselves extends upwards into the organization context, and further amplifies our impact at a systemic level.

‍

In this conversation Jenny and Diana discuss:

What Diana means by conscious when she refers to conscious leadership
Being above or below the line: reacting from fear vs. responding from trust
The four different types of consciousness from which we might lead: to me, by me, through me, and as me

Staying curious and growing in self-awareness
The problem with wanting to be right
Our relationship with our stories and willingness to consider the opposite is equally true
The importance of feeling our feelings and seeing their value
Why candor and safe emotional spaces are essential
Why gossip is pernicious and the how judgement reveals our shadows
Integrity, both with ourselves and with others
Making clear agreements using a whole body yes
How to handle broken agreements
Regarding all circumstances of life as an opportunity to learn and grow
Moving from scarcity to abundance with a commitment to experiencing having enough of everything
Committing to win for all solutions
