In this podcast we also explore:
🟣 The importance of prioritising holistic wellbeing in all aspects of life.
🟢 How quality thinking is crucial for authentic leadership.
🟡 The impact leaders have if they focus on personal development over competition.
🔵 That true transformation begins from within.
🟠 The role that AI plays in today's life.
My personal highlight was where Mindy discussed how authentic leadership requires what she calls "deep work" – the kind that "is the only way to feel really fulfilled about what you think, what you believe, what you personally are saying."
But her message goes beyond AI. She advocates for what she calls "compete to complete" - "Forget about the competition. Forget about everybody else out there and what they're doing. And work on yourself." This connects to her "Centerpreneur" concept: when leaders are "centred, grounded, strong and resilient, it gives other people confidence... everybody can relax and breathe."
