Episode Description

Back in the "old days" it was commonly thought that humans were all finished with "growing up" or maturing after passing through our adolescent years. What we know now, is that we can actually evolve throughout adulthood. This evolution impacts how we think, make meaning and behave at work, at home and in all aspects of our lives. In our current complex times, there are some ways of thinking and behaving that are more helpful than others. Join Shahmeen and her guests, Barbara Braham and Chris Wahl, two practitioners specializing in the field of coaching and adult development, to learn more about YOU and how you can develop and grow into enhanced effectiveness in all realms of your life.

Stories from the Heart of Leadership

Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel

Over my years as a leadership consultant and executive coach, I’ve been fascinated by the stories that lie underneath the surface of our human façade. I’m noticing a theme: We think we are alone in our experience and we have learned that it’s not OK to talk about it.

Things happen in life: wonderful, terrible and sad things. It appears safer, especially at work, to put a neutral face on it all and carry on. Better to look like we have it all together than to let them see the joy, shame or dread we might be feeling on the inside.

My hope is for us to become more resilient and effective by connecting at the level of our shared humanity. When someone courageously gives voice to their yearning, fear or uncertainty, the potential for creating extraordinary results at work, at home and elsewhere is exponentially increased.

Learn more about this, how it works and how you can put it into service in your life.
