Episode 68: From Armor to Authentic Power: The Power of Inner Work in Leadership

The armor that protected you once is now the ceiling of your leadership and business.

The most capable & ambitious leaders I work with share one pattern: somewhere between childhood and the C-suite, they built protection mechanisms so effective - they forgot they were wearing them.

For most high-performing leaders, it sounded like:

→ "I need to be exceptional to be worthy."

→ "I need to control the environment to stay safe."

→ "I need to make everyone happy, or things fall apart."

They worked. They got you here. But they're running your leadership on autopilot.

And at the level you're operating at now - the stakes are too high for autopilot.

And it creates additional pressure.

What's on the other side is a different dimension of leadership. More clarity. More awareness. More aliveness. Less pressure.

This is part of the work I do with leaders at this level. And it's not what spoken at the boardroom, or included in most leadership programs.

In this episode, Dagmara Asbreuk — Transformational Executive Partner and Founder of Extraordinary Leadership , sits down with Nancy Zabaneh, senior Compassionate Inquiry® practitioner and transformational educator bringing 3 decades of experience, to explore what rarely makes it into boardroom conversations.
