WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.299 what is your why of what you do the why of what 00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:10.779 i do is because i picture a world and of course 00:00:10.779 --> 00:00:14.060 that means you and i and everyone in it where 00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:18.359 there is a greater conscious evolution and alignment 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:24.820 where there is a greater flow of folks developing 00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:30.010 themselves versus just going day to day to day 00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:34.509 and kind of getting lost in that. It's like getting 00:00:34.509 --> 00:00:39.490 lost in autopilot. So the why of what I do really 00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:43.549 is about helping folks to, including my own self, 00:00:43.649 --> 00:00:46.270 of course, as I've gone on this journey quite 00:00:46.270 --> 00:00:53.049 a few years ago, Harry, to align more with that 00:00:53.049 --> 00:00:58.020 authentic self that I am. And with that. with 00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.920 the authentic self of what folks are, who folks 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.280 are, instead of losing themselves in the roles 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.620 that they're playing as a father, as a corporate 00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:11.780 leader, or whatever that role is. So that's a 00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.859 big part of really allowing folks to thrive instead 00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:20.900 of just survive and realize autopilot does not 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:25.560 have to be part of your day -to -day. Tell me 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.989 more about that. So I understand that better. 00:01:28.870 --> 00:01:32.549 So basically, when I talk about conscious evolution, 00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:38.870 I talk about really folks to become more in tune 00:01:38.870 --> 00:01:42.489 with what their day to day even looks like. Right. 00:01:42.530 --> 00:01:45.430 Becoming more mindful to really move from this 00:01:45.430 --> 00:01:48.549 automated state of being, which is eight o 'clock 00:01:48.549 --> 00:01:50.569 or seven o 'clock. I'm going to wake up and then 00:01:50.569 --> 00:01:52.969 I'm going to do this and kind of getting stuck 00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:57.540 in that. Instead of doing that, really becoming 00:01:57.540 --> 00:02:01.799 more present within their own life, where they're 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.939 embracing a more aligned way of living and where 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:12.180 they're becoming more adaptable and they navigate 00:02:12.180 --> 00:02:15.719 with greater ease and intentionality into their 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:20.280 day -to -day life. So it's basically to learn 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.080 really to navigate in your life. with greater 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.020 intentionality and ease. So of course, when you 00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:30.800 do that, you become more present to your life 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.479 and as you're doing it. And some of the things 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.560 that may have been important before are no longer 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.039 important. It's like, why was I stressing over 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.000 that so much? Or why did I take that role on 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.919 so much? So that's really the first part of what 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:52.580 I see here is the more conscious flow. of evolution 00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:57.740 where life becomes more of a flow instead of 00:02:57.740 --> 00:03:00.240 a forced state that you are pushing yourself 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.740 so my first question um in exploring what you 00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:10.979 just mentioned is why do that like why do that 00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:16.900 why do we why do we uh go into that flow state 00:03:16.900 --> 00:03:20.500 instead of the one most people are living The 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.780 fourth state? Yeah. Because, that's a great question, 00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:29.539 because there's a lot of exhaustion versus empowered 00:03:29.539 --> 00:03:36.080 leadership. Tell me more. Leaders are exhausted. 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.699 They're coming to my office and they're exhausted 00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:43.900 of pushing and moving along the same old way. 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:48.400 And it's no longer clicking in the same way. 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.560 I think it used to work at one point to a certain 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:56.659 degree. And so, you know, when I think when COVID 00:03:56.659 --> 00:04:00.620 happened, a lot of folks had to start to. Look 00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:03.360 in the mirror. Oh, whoa. You know, I've been 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.180 living on autopilot. This marriage no longer 00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:10.620 works. Or this work schedule no longer works. 00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:14.080 Where folks had to become much more aware and 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.660 go from really recognizing the exhaustion that 00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:21.300 they were feeling and go into more of a self 00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:26.240 -empowered leadership. First and foremost, within 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:31.279 themselves, because all change starts by changing 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.959 yourself from the inside out. So exhaustion is 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.980 really a big part of it. The other part of it 00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:41.000 is I think it's no longer working. I think the 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.899 old way of thinking of being trying to fit a 00:04:45.899 --> 00:04:50.540 peg into a square. it's just no longer working 00:04:50.540 --> 00:04:54.420 it no longer fits so it's starting to really 00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:59.860 move much more from force to flow right and then 00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:04.620 from that from stress to creating more clarity 00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:09.300 more aligned more alignment again developing 00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:14.759 that internal state of mindfulness meaning just 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.339 a tool in order to become more present And to 00:05:19.339 --> 00:05:25.779 then lead and wake up, wake up into a more conscious 00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:33.899 state of being versus just doing. So let's talk 00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:37.439 more about that side. What does that flow state 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:42.790 of being and being present look like? So first 00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:45.290 of all, becoming present through mindfulness 00:05:45.290 --> 00:05:48.170 is that's simply just a beginning, right? That's 00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:51.269 a tool that I often use. Become more mindful 00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:54.889 and aware of what am I doing? How am I doing 00:05:54.889 --> 00:06:00.209 it? Why am I doing it in your day -to -day life, 00:06:00.430 --> 00:06:03.589 right? Once you start to do that, there's a much 00:06:03.589 --> 00:06:07.430 greater level of awareness and that will then 00:06:07.430 --> 00:06:10.939 allow you to become more present. When you become 00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:14.259 more present, that's when you can really start 00:06:14.259 --> 00:06:17.860 to clarify your priorities. I'm talking personal 00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:21.019 or professional, where you can start to create 00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:25.740 much more of a holistic success, not at the cost 00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:29.720 of you, but because of you, right? And again, 00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:34.310 it's instead of working. at nauseam at the same 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:37.810 activities or at the same jobs or at the same 00:06:37.810 --> 00:06:40.790 roles that you may some of them really not like 00:06:40.790 --> 00:06:44.910 it's becoming much more present and of course 00:06:44.910 --> 00:06:47.170 that opens up a different level of innovation 00:06:47.170 --> 00:06:51.029 that opens up a different level of creativity 00:06:51.029 --> 00:06:54.750 that opens up a different level of spontaneity 00:06:54.750 --> 00:06:58.709 to be able to tap into the moment and go oh i 00:06:58.709 --> 00:07:02.699 was going to in the past push through this thing 00:07:02.699 --> 00:07:08.800 but we need to allow life to create a different 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.459 timing in order to step and ride that wave that's 00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:17.800 maybe a little metaphorically speaking but of 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.560 course being and living in a flow state doesn't 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.860 mean you're not going to plan ahead it just means 00:07:22.860 --> 00:07:25.850 you've become more present You've become more 00:07:25.850 --> 00:07:29.230 innovative. You've become more aware of what's 00:07:29.230 --> 00:07:33.329 actually circling around you. So instead of riding 00:07:33.329 --> 00:07:36.449 these waves over here, you're going to hop on 00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:39.089 these business or personal opportunities over 00:07:39.089 --> 00:07:42.509 here. So let's explore that a little bit more. 00:07:42.610 --> 00:07:45.990 What does that look like with an example or day 00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:48.870 -to -day life for, let's say, for you, Daniela? 00:07:50.089 --> 00:07:53.790 So for me, on a day -to -day basis, I'll give 00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:56.730 you a really good example. Years ago, because 00:07:56.730 --> 00:08:00.329 I'm quite left and right -brained, Harry, which 00:08:00.329 --> 00:08:02.269 is probably why I work with corporate folks, 00:08:02.370 --> 00:08:06.009 but also I'm very intuitive. But years ago, I 00:08:06.009 --> 00:08:10.589 used to much more have a quite rigid schedule 00:08:10.589 --> 00:08:15.009 to check mark things off the list. That's my 00:08:15.009 --> 00:08:18.290 left brain, right? And I love to get stuff done. 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.879 When I started to go more into a flow state, 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.680 it was a little unsettling at the beginning, 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.439 should I say, because suddenly I'm like, oh, 00:08:29.699 --> 00:08:33.259 right? I'm like, I'm really having to pivot. 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.679 But once I started to embrace more of that flow 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.220 state in my day -to -day life, I started to be 00:08:41.220 --> 00:08:45.940 more intuitive in terms of the opportunities. 00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:50.509 And I was more... I had a greater situational 00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:55.230 awareness, particularly professionally, where 00:08:55.230 --> 00:08:57.090 in the past maybe I would have gone, oh, I want 00:08:57.090 --> 00:08:58.789 that opportunity. I've got to really go after 00:08:58.789 --> 00:09:03.389 that where I realized the timing is not right 00:09:03.389 --> 00:09:06.049 now. It'll come back around in a different way. 00:09:06.350 --> 00:09:09.710 So you develop a different level of trust in 00:09:09.710 --> 00:09:13.169 life that the right people synchronistically 00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:22.500 will show up at the right time. And how has that 00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:24.860 helped the people that you work with at the same 00:09:24.860 --> 00:09:29.360 time? So how it's helped them in the way that 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:33.919 I work with them is really on, it's very much 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.179 multifold. And I hear this often from the different 00:09:37.179 --> 00:09:41.279 leaders. It's because a lot of my work is about 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.919 self -mastery. So what they're realizing as they 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.139 are moving more into their internal leadership. 00:09:49.450 --> 00:09:53.429 and they're changing their inner dialogue and 00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:57.769 their intentionality, it really starts to improve 00:09:57.769 --> 00:10:02.009 their emotional intelligence a lot regarding 00:10:02.009 --> 00:10:05.549 themselves, but also the team that they're working 00:10:05.549 --> 00:10:08.409 with. Or that could be a husband or a wife or 00:10:08.409 --> 00:10:11.870 the children. But of course, they always come 00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:14.529 back and say, you know what? It started to become 00:10:14.529 --> 00:10:18.009 a ripple. Because in habit one of my book, High 00:10:18.009 --> 00:10:20.470 Performance Without Pain, it's about reduced 00:10:20.470 --> 00:10:25.070 anxiety, pain, and chaos. And they end up realizing, 00:10:25.409 --> 00:10:28.950 Harry, how they disconnect from the present moment. 00:10:29.690 --> 00:10:34.230 How they numb out. How they are not present to 00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:38.309 what's actually happening versus what they're 00:10:38.309 --> 00:10:41.629 projecting of what might be happening. Their 00:10:41.629 --> 00:10:45.149 idea of what's happening. So really it's their... 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.000 rejecting the present the way it is. They're 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.460 not allowing themselves to be in a flow state. 00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:55.759 So really much greater self -awareness, emotional 00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:00.559 intelligence, really leading by example in that 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:06.759 way much more. And I think through also embracing 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.309 a greater level of vulnerability. And leading 00:11:11.309 --> 00:11:16.370 that way, that they lead in this way much more 00:11:16.370 --> 00:11:22.730 by example. What would you say? I mean, first, 00:11:22.809 --> 00:11:25.710 thank you for sharing that. And that really helps 00:11:25.710 --> 00:11:28.370 me understand what your vision is about and where 00:11:28.370 --> 00:11:33.049 do you see it. When it comes to applying those 00:11:33.049 --> 00:11:36.870 things in, let's say, in practical terms to someone. 00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:40.559 What tips would you give entrepreneurs or leaders? 00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:45.299 So first of all, I would say start to develop 00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:50.639 a mindfulness practice. A what practice? A mindfulness 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.539 practice. Mindfulness practice. So mindfulness 00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:59.039 and intentionality are very, very important. 00:11:59.179 --> 00:12:04.250 Actually, I have a free meditation on. It's regarding 00:12:04.250 --> 00:12:09.409 the power of intention. And so to basically, 00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:12.870 that brings it back to, instead of just moving 00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:15.529 through your day, like in a hurry, next, next, 00:12:15.669 --> 00:12:17.590 next, next, you know, how we're all used to, 00:12:17.710 --> 00:12:23.570 right? To stop, review, think, create an internal 00:12:23.570 --> 00:12:29.450 alignment. It's starting with a mindfulness practice 00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:32.309 and actually have a workbook where I help my 00:12:32.309 --> 00:12:35.250 clients through this process of what this looks 00:12:35.250 --> 00:12:38.169 like. It's actually more simple than what it 00:12:38.169 --> 00:12:42.549 sounds. But oftentimes I suggest review your 00:12:42.549 --> 00:12:46.970 week at a glance on Sunday and take a look at 00:12:46.970 --> 00:12:50.149 what that week looks like and try to bring it 00:12:50.149 --> 00:12:55.840 into alignment with yourself personally. and 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.860 professionally, where you can work more towards 00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:05.720 your internal validation versus external validation, 00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.940 where you are recognizing this thing is not in 00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:14.279 alignment with my true goals, right? Because 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.399 oftentimes I see folks being so busy working 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:22.419 on everyone else's goals or dreams, and yet themselves, 00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:26.799 they... They go on empty. Hence the leaders coming 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.919 to me and they're saying, this is just no longer 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.200 working. I'm exhausted. Because they've given 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:37.500 the person that really is the main actor, the 00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.500 star of their life script, they've given that 00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:44.000 person away. So this is really about infusing 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.580 the roles that you are playing with all of who 00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:51.870 you are on a holistic level. bringing in that 00:13:51.870 --> 00:13:56.570 authentic self.
