Transcribe →Episode 306: From Tension to Transformation: Insights from Author Janet M. Harvey on Generative Leadership
Jan 30, 202500:23:39Tap to summarizeWhen I started the Lessons in Leadership podcast, my goal was simple: to explore the principles that elevate leaders to their fullest potential. This week, I had the privilege of interviewing Janet M. Harvey, author of From Tension to Transformation: A Leader’s Guide to Generative Change. Our conversation was a masterclass in authentic leadership, the power of vulnerability, and embracing tension as a catalyst for growth. Janet describes herself as an alchemist, someone who transforms what exists into something greater. She left corporate life in 1996 to pursue her calling of helping others navigate change and awaken to their authentic selves. "Life gets easier when you align with your core passion," Janet shared. But, she cautioned, "easier doesn’t mean without struggle." I’m incredibly grateful to Janet M. Harvey for sharing her wisdom and insights on the Lessons in Leadership podcast. If you’re ready to embrace tension as a catalyst for transformation, I highly recommend picking up her book and taking the Workplace Tension Assessment mentioned during the interview.

David’s insights were both practical and thought-provoking, offering valuable lessons for leaders and professionals at every level.

My focus is working with up-and-coming executives in their 30s, accomplished leaders in their 40s, and established executives 50+ who are looking for a trusted advisor to help them make the right career move. My clients are highly intelligent, accomplished leaders who are making an impact on the companies they have worked for. But, when a private equity deal is done, a merger, or a new management team comes in, my clients turn to me for direction, accountability, and knowledge to guide them through the career search process. Since 2012, I've worked with over 1000 executives providing executive-level recruiting, career coaching, resume advice, interviewing techniques, writing business plans, and salary negotiations. Since 2007, I’ve been a life coach working with men who are struggling in life and providing one-on-one coaching to help them get unstuck. As a career coach, business owner, executive recruiter, real estate investor, entrepreneur, franchise owner, husband, father, and son I have had my fair share of life, business and career experiences. My passion is to help my clients find that perfect new job that will give them purpose. Making a career change is one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Let’s do it together. David

Transcribe →Survival vs. Creation: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself Part 5
Jan 4, 2025Tap to summarizeIn Chapter 5 of Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dr. Joe Dispenza highlights a critical distinction that defines how we approach life: the difference between survival and creation. For many of us, life feels like a constant struggle to stay ahead—a fight to survive. We operate in a reactive mode, responding to stress, fear, and external circumstances. But survival mode is not where true transformation happens. To create the life we desire, we must shift out of survival mode and into a state of creation. This chapter challenges us to move beyond reactive thinking and tap into the infinite potential of the present moment. By doing so, we can become conscious creators of our reality rather than prisoners of our environment, emotions, and past. Let’s unpack the key insights and practical steps from Chapter 5 to help you shift from survival to creation. https://drjoedispenza.com/shop/categories?shopSection=Books If you like today's message, here are four ways I can help you grow faster… 1.
