Ep 79: John Heron RIP & Why Emotional Competence is Essential for Leaders Today
John Heron RIP & Why Emotional Competence is Essential for Leaders TodayJohn Heron, one of the giants of Humanistic Psychology, passed away in November 2022.In his 1990 piece ‘The Politics of Transference’ John lays out three fundamental guiding principles:“The first is that, both theoretically and practically, the intrapsychic and interpersonal dimensions of transference are to be seen always in relation to the society-wide and political dimensions.“This leads on to the second principle, which is that the right to be emotionally competent - which includes the ability to understand and master the dynamics of transference - is the birthright of every person in society. “Until this claim is acknowledged, the whole social, organizational and political process will be distorted by people unawarely acting out compulsive victim, compulsive oppressor, compulsive rebel and compulsive rescuer roles.“This in turn leads to the third principle, that the right to emotional competence is an inalienable and central part of the right of everyone to a proper education.”While I don’t entirely agree that any particular type of education is our birthright I do agree with everything else John says here.In short, leaders wishing to make a significant shift of any kind - for themselves, their business or both - are well advised to invest in their emotional competence. Right now, before transferential material and unconscious acting out of compulsive roles potentially scuppers plans and outcomes.I highly recommend John’s book Feeling & Personhood for theoretical material along with wonderful experiential exercises.

Ep 77: Consciousness, Higher Self & Evolution
Consciousness, Higher Self & EvolutionI don’t know if you've ever come across a book called the I Ching, which I believe was written originally in Chinese. I've got an English translation here by Brian Brown Walker, and in the front of this book there's a quote which I really like:“The only true aristocracy is that of Consciousness.” DH LawrenceDH Lawrence was an English writer, novelist, poet and essayist. His works reflect on modernity, industrialisation, sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. His best-known novels—Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover— were the subject of censorship trials.Of course, at the time when he was writing, using a word like aristocracy was completely cool. It meant elite, what we aspire to, what we admire. Nowadays, the use of the word aristocracy is not nearly as acceptable or PC. I read DH’s quote to a friend of mine the other day and he said: “So what you're saying is - Consciousness is the pinnacle of the whole shebang?”. Exactly. Here’s another quote:“The next stage of our evolution as a species, is the evolution of our Consciousness." Me… and that's why I decided to make that my life mission - to serve the evolution of human consciousness. Presumptuous? Perhaps. I like it.So welcome to 2023. I invite you this year to honour your Consciousness, take care of it even more than usual. Say hello to your Higher Self. Invite your Higher Self into play, and really have a fantastic year.Support the show=== 🤝 Join our Being Space Community ✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com ✦ Website: https://beingspace.world ✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn ✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/ ✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld ✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world ______ Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate Podcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellyn Podcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendence Podcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/ Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/ VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/...

Ep 71: Jeff Smith - Work Ethic, Information Alchemy & What Do You Want?
Work Ethic, Information Alchemy & What Do You Want?Jeff is affectionately known as “The KPI Guy” because he’s written 7 international #1 best-selling books on KPI and Business Management and is on record as “the most successful author in history” on the subject.Jeff is particularly admired in the international business arena because he has the amazing ability to explain complex business strategies in jargon-busting plain English that everyone understands; even where English is not the first language. He has worked with, and is trusted by Royal families, Governments of different countries and Senior Executives in the largest companies in the world.He loves getting people to think differently, he introduces new paradigms to stimulate questions and challenges the rules of conventional wisdom. He’s often voted as “best speaker” because he’s the master of audience engagement and his speaking style is always “Fun with a Serious Intent”.Jeff’s extensive charity work includes the founding of The Jeff Smith Foundation, serving as CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority and Vice Chair of AFI, and donating his leadership skills, pilot skills and his aircraft to extend the reach of FMT medication to everyone in the UK who needs it, thereby saving the lives of many people who otherwise would very likely have died.Registered with Geneva and New York, Jeff is a mentor to the United Nations. Jeff has led a remarkable life with several significant ups and downs - demonstrating an extraordinary resourcefulness and generosity of spirit along the way. Jeff’s commitment to rising above challenges and finding ways to both be the best he can be and help others is admirable. I find his capacity for turning potentially dry or unwelcome data into meaningful guidance intriguing - both in his guise as KPI guy - and as a person finding his truths and transcending difficulties in his path.
