Breakfast Leadership Show Spiritual Intelligence, Calm Leadership & AI Resilience with Amy Lynn Durham: How to Thrive in the Future of Work
Unlocking Spiritual Intelligence, Calm Leadership, and AI Resilience in the Workplace
In this compelling episode, I sit down with Amy to explore three powerful themes that are reshaping today’s workplaces: spiritual intelligence, leading through chaos, and navigating the rise of AI with confidence and compassion.
Part 1: Spiritual Intelligence in the Workplace
Amy shares her transformational journey—from corporate executive to purpose-driven leader—sparked by a personal spiritual awakening. We dive into how spiritual intelligence can create workplaces that foster well-being, alignment, and sustainable productivity. This isn’t about religion—it’s about intentional awareness, empathy, and a values-driven culture that fuels human performance.
Part 2: Navigating Chaos With Calm and Innovation
Together, we examine how calm leadership can be a competitive advantage in uncertain times. Amy introduces the concept of “Edgewalkers”—individuals who thrive on the edge of chaos and help others find clarity amid the noise. I reflect on my own leadership experiences, including how postmortem meetings helped my teams learn from failure and bounce back stronger. Innovation, we agree, often emerges in the messiest moments—if leaders are equipped to lead with presence and poise.
Part 3: Addressing AI and Automation Fears
With automation accelerating, fear is rising among employees. Amy and I tackle the emotional side of digital transformation, emphasizing the need for leaders to recognize change archetypes within their teams. We discuss how trust, transparency, and emotional intelligence can ease transitions and unlock the creative potential of AI. The future of work isn’t just about tech—it’s about trust, connection, and leading from within.
🎙️ Tune in if you’re a leader, changemaker, or future-focused professional ready to lead with clarity, calm, and compassion.
