EP 56 - Conversation with Jonathan de Potter - Elevating leadership with psychedelics - everything you want to know

Do you want to align your inner self with how you interface with the outside world? When you elevate your leadership game (the way you think, feel, and act), you elevate your sense of spirit, freedom, passion, and your quality of life. Would you consider using plant medicine (or psychedelics) to help you gain that alignment?

When you have everything and still feel that something intangible is missing from your life, here’s one way to explore the depths of your inner world to see what comes up and how it can change you.

In today’s conversation with Jonathan de Potter, we speak about elevating your leadership and discovering more joy by exploring deeper levels of consciousness. Because to lead your business, you need to be aligned - body and mind - inside and out.

In this episode, we dive deep into what psychedelics can do for you, how the journeys (ayahuasca and others) can help you shift deep patterns, and ask if there are other types of knowledge we can access beyond conventional knowledge. Would you dare to try?

Tune in, gain some information, do the research and make up your own mind.

EP 55 - Conversation with Julie Bartkus - Discover key demotivators for your team and how to avoid them with great leadership habits

We hear a lot about what motivates and inspires a team but do we really know what we’re doing that demotivates them? Today’s guest is Julie Bartkus, a leading authority on workplace transformation. She’s embarked on a 20 year long, hands-on research, interviewing employees at all levels in organizations, to identify over 30 staff demotivators that drain team members and reduce employee engagement. Julie shares her first experience of becoming a manager and how she dealt with her first challenge. She shares a key demotivator that requires us to look at our own behaviors as leaders, not always having to prove ourselves and being willing to ask for help. We ended on connecting to a strong why, a strong sense of vision, and finding your joy… Take notes, sit tight and gain great tools to reduce demotivation and increase connection.

Babalwa Fatyi is a sustainability expert, who is a founder and Managing Director at Myezo Environmental Management Services. Babalwa has a fascinating story from modest beginnings growing up in a rural village, she always felt at one with her surroundings and her passion for science and sustainability led her to found a business that focuses on this. She’s also an author and poet. She shares her story of growing up where women were at the center of leadership – leading the home, the community, and the farms and coming to work and all of a sudden having a different experience where women in organizations need to be empowered.
