Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen

Today’s aspiring leaders are redefining achievement. They understand achievement as a process for individual empowerment—discovering who they are, where they want to go, and how they want to change themselves and the world around them. That world is more global, decentralized, dynamic, and diverse than ever before. Rather than just setting goals for achievement, today’s graduates are focusing on the process of achieving goals, resetting and pivoting to face new realities, and finding happiness in the journey.

In this podcast, Ken Wilber dives deep into the perpetual human quest for growth and fulfillment, highlighting how it’s often incomplete. He integrates wisdom from spirituality, psychology, shadow work, science, and his groundbreaking integral theory to guide us toward a more radical and complete sense of wholeness. Wilber outlines a transformative path through five key dimensions: Waking Up, Growing Up, Opening Up, Cleaning Up, and Showing Up. He explains how integral theory can be applied to everyday life for personal transformation, with practical examples like the Four Quadrants—offering four perspectives on how we view the world—helping us show up more fully and present in our lives. Wilber also discusses how we can evolve our multiple intelligences, deepen our spiritual awareness, uncover hidden aspects of our consciousness, and heighten the experience of bliss and love through practices such as integral tantric sex. Throughout the podcast, he introduces various tools and practices, such as the Witness, One Taste, and shadow work, that provide direct experiences leading to profound personal integration. With these, we can move toward true wholeness and make room for all that life brings.

Life finds its balance from within, not from external factors. In this podcast, Richard brilliantly illustrates life as a house with four rooms—business, family, social, and personal. He explores how stress can affect each room and offers insights on how to prevent inner pressure from overwhelming all aspects of your life. To truly understand the stress you're facing, you first need to understand how your emotions influence your actions. In other words, you must grasp why you think and behave the way you do. This book will guide you to stop trying to eliminate stress and instead teach you how to manage it. Those who strive to get rid of stress often add to it, while those who learn to control it enhance their lives.

Do you want speedier decisions? Better outcomes? And avoid costly mistakes? Your gut can help you. In fact, intuition is an essential tool that all leaders use to get to the top. If you've ever made a choice that looked illogical but proved to be right or had a sixth sense about something, your intuition was at work. Those hunches play a critical role in everything from deciding which job to take, who to hire and what to focus on. Which means that summoning intuition on demand and listening to what it's telling you are vital at a time of radical change and instability.

The book demonstrates the importance of a clear set of competencies, skills, and strategies for addressing unconscious bias. By developing a culturally competent mindset and using a shared, holistic language to discuss these issues, readers gain the tools to understand, discuss, and implement change both at home and in the workplace. This approach avoids blame or shame, making it accessible and empowering for everyone.
