Coaches say all of your reveals to another person should be about you, not the other person. The part of you that withholds is just trying to stay safe in a relationship. Aaron says he can think of at least one example of every person i'm close with. He suggests two reasons for withholding: 1) You don't want people holding their stories lightly and 2%) It's better if they hold back than give out negative feedback.
Ready for a wake-up call? Today’s episode of Brave New Work is all about conscious leadership—a way of showing up that asks us to be responsive rather than reactive, present rather than lodged in the past or the future, feeling-full rather than feeling-empty, and radically responsible rather than carelessly unaccountable. Sound hard? Exhausting? Wildly uncomfortable? It is.
That’s why Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans called in Jim Dethmer, founding partner of the Conscious Leadership Group and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. They talk to Jim about why doing this self-work is so important, why transformational leadership depends on it, and how entire teams and organizations can become more self-aware.
