Leadership In Chaotic Times with James Greenshields
Leadership In Chaotic Times | Principles of Harmonic Leadership
"Lots of people are seeing the world in a negative way right now. So many people are waiting for someone else to come along and fix it."
My returning guest today is James Greenshields. James is a husband of over 20 years and an honored father of two amazing women; he served 17 years as an Australian Army Officer and woke up in combat. With over 14 years post-military, James has Co-Founded and been the Lead Facilitator for Leadership and Men's Well-being at the Emergent Leaders Foundation.
He couples experience with First Nation people around the globe, running youth rites of passage for ten years, overlayed on a practical understanding of leadership in environments as diverse as the battlefield, boardrooms, and professional sports, have enabled him to create a new paradigm of leadership - he calls Harmonic Leadership.
We discuss our current chaotic times, the power of community, and how indigenous people helped heal James' PTSD. James expands on his belief that every issue on the planet can be solved at a community level and that community is the essence of why we are alive. Listen in and learn the true pandemic of the last four years.
We also explore alchemy, power vs. force, states of fear and love, and much more.

Real Men Feel exists to remind
men that they are human beings
5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,720
and they have the right to
experience and express all of
6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,360
their emotions.
We have conversations that most
7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,280
men are not having, but that all
men can benefit from.
8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,720
My returning guest today is
James Greenshields.
9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,840
James is a husband of over 20
years and honored father of two
10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,600
amazing women.
He served 17 years as an
11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,680
Australian Army officer and woke
up in combat.
12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,120
Now with over 14 years post
military, James has Co founded
13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,760
and been the lead facilitator
for leadership and men's
14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,680
well-being at the Emergence

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,960
He couples experiences with
First Nation people around the
16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,760
globe running youth rites of
passage for 10 years, overlaid
17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,080
on practical understanding of
leadership and environments as
18
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,160
diverse as the battlefield.
Boardrooms and professional
19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800
sports have enabled him to
create a new paradigm of
20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,800
leadership he calls harmonic
leadership.
21
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Let's do it.
Welcome back to Real Men Field,
22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,960
James.
Thanks brother, great to be
23
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,200
back.
You know it had been a we we
24
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,440
spoke just the other day for the
first time and we knew it had
25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,960
been a while, but you and your
wife Kirstie were on real men
26
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:25,920
feel it was way back show #48 in
2017 it.
27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200
Was 2017 right?
I remember where we were.
28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,800
We were in a park and we're
there and talking to you.
29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,840
Because I just remember the
experience, but I didn't realize
30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,480
it was 2017.
Wow.
31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Yeah, you.
So you weren't the first
32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,880
Australian guest, but you were
the first married couple to to
33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,280
be appear at the same time as as
guests?
34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Yeah, right.
Yeah, humbled.
35
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,920
And you're still together.
Yes, we are very good. 2020
36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,280
years this year, 20 years of
marriage, 25 years of being
37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,760
together.
Yeah, very good.
38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,040
So you had reached out because
you're doing a lot of work
39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,640
lately helping self-sufficient
communities and that was really
40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,520
falling into your, your
leadership niche.
41
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120
So, so tell me about what that's
like.
42
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,800
What does it mean to to have a
help help a community become
43
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,960
more self-sufficient?
Well, I, I suppose you take one
44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,240
step even further back than
that.
45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Lots of people are, are just
looking around the world at the
46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,840
moment and they're commenting on
how they see the world in a, in
47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,520
a negative way.
They don't like what's
48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,640
happening.
But The thing is, so many people
49
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,520
are then waiting for someone
else to come along and fix it.
50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,720
And I, I've since around, you
know, I left the military in
51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,520
2010.
I'd had a lot of experience from
52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:47,440
Iraqis, Timor and I, I got to
see quite a lot of, quite a lot
53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,560
of different ways, I suppose, of
living in harsh conditions and,
54
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,480
and turbulence and obviously
combat, et cetera.
55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,920
But when I got home, I, I, you
know, going, coming out of post
56
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,160
traumatic stress from that
experience, it was something
57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120
really dawned on me about the
nature of community because my,
58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,080
my healing journey, like I, I
got out in the middle of our,
59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,200
our nations capital called
Canberra.
60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,720
And that was where I had my last
posting and, and my last job
61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,200
and, and I only moved about
about 10 kilometers outside
62
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,440
Canberra itself.
So for that year, I never felt
63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,120
that I left the military.
It was, it was still 2IN it.
64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,680
So we moved up to a beautiful
place called Melania on the
65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,800
Sunshine Coast, which is, is an
indigenous people up there that
66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,160
have been custodians of that
place of the Gubby Gubby.
67
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
And I'm realistically that's
where I started my healing
68
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400
journey home from, from post
traumatic stress and everything.
69
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,520
And then we travelled Australia
10 years ago, 2014, in a
70
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,920
Canberra trailer with my two
daughters.
71
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920
They were seven and five at the
time.
72
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,600
And we just had epic
experiences.
73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,720
And I felt like I was constantly
putting myself back together.
74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040
I found myself in the in the
deep in the Indonesian jungles,
75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,920
taking some Indigenous elders
back to their ancient burial
76
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,760
caves, just having experience
after experience of just
77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,120
connection.
And then finally we've been
78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280
living in this area called the
Northern Rivers, just near a
79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,880
place called Byron Bay.
And, and this is Bungelung
80
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Nation territory.
And I found home tree here.
81
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,240
So what it constantly showed me
was the place of community.
82
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,600
And each community we visited
was extremely different but
83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,160
beautiful and a lot of nuances
which were the same but
84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,160
beautiful unto their own.
And it became extremely
85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760
self-evident to me.
The communities know themselves
86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,600
best.
Yes, they, they can always like
87
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440
benefit from an objective
outside observative to, to look
88
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,040
at denial and other things which
are going on, but they actually
89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,600
know the nuances of themselves
best.
90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800
So then it started to really
dawn on me that every issue on
91
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,440
the planet can be solved at a
community level within a global
92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,360
context because we're networked,
we're global, and there's no
93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,720
going back from that unless we
have a, you know, an Armageddon
94
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,480
Day.
And I just, I just introduced my
95
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640
youngest daughter to Armageddon
with Bruce Willis and Ben
96
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,120
Affleck, and she liked the
soundtrack, you know, so, so
97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,720
unless we have something like
that, you know, we'll always be
98
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,440
networked in some way, shape or
form.
99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,280
And there's a, there's a beauty
to that.
100
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:17,360
But if we lose track that the
community's the real essence of
101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,120
why we're alive, it brings so
much, you know, alive.
102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,040
You look at, you look at mental
health issues like those that
103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,320
isolate them, depression,
anxiety, trauma, they're all
104
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,600
isolative conditions.
When community is brought forth,
105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,120
they can actually do healing.
First Nation people have known
106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,040
this for eons in that we'll have
ceremony, ritual and process to
107
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,000
actually allow for that healing
process to be contained,
108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,680
vectored and and moved through.
I mean, I'm, I'm in the shadow
109
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,920
of a thing called Upper Wilson's
Creek, which is deep in the
110
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,200
nightcap range, the largest
Caldara or big volcanic area in
111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,960
the Southern hemisphere and
really, really powerful land.
112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,080
I mean, mountain Warning, it is
just over there and it's the 1st
113
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,920
place that the light touches
Australia, the Australian
114
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,960
mainland in the morning.
And, and Mount Warning itself is
115
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880
the for the indigenous.
It's the the place of spiritual
116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,120
constitution and and law LORE.
So it's really, really powerful
117
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,800
land.
Actually a major song line or
118
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,920
Ley line between, across
Australia, between Byron Bay and
119
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,840
and Monkey Meyer right over on
the West Coast.
120
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:21,160
I'm sitting on it.
And up in the valley of Wilson's
121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Creek.
That was just man territory and
122
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,800
trauma.
People would go in there, heal
123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,840
the trauma and the women would
hold space around the escarment.
124
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,480
They wouldn't go in.
And so they knew the land, they
125
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,680
knew the community, they knew
what was needed.
126
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,360
And, and you look at farming
communities and I'm, I'm pretty
127
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,520
sure with my understanding of
being out of the state's bit,
128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,160
you know, there's a lot of, a
lot of similarity in that, that
129
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600
essence, not only from your
indigenous people there, but
130
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240
also from your country people.
They know the land is so much
131
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,320
better, but it didn't come into
the cities.
132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,880
And when we get out of our own
backyard, out of our own like
133
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,840
apartment block, etcetera, and
we start meeting people, when we
134
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,040
do that, there's, there's a
sense of unity that comes
135
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,800
together instead of separation.
And So what I found is
136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,560
communities, the number one
building block.
137
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,000
When we get that right, then
everything else starts to take
138
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,960
to take forms to come back to
this initial point, which was
139
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,480
people are waiting so much for
everyone else.
140
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,520
And we had 22 communities across
the eastern seaboard of
141
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Australia.
And what my job was particularly
142
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,880
was the architect to build the
governance and, and the
143
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,440
leadership structures for that.
But also what I quickly
144
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,080
identified was a shift of
consciousness was necessary.
145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360
And there was a lot of fighting.
People were fighting because
146
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,800
they didn't like what was going
on.
147
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,400
But the issue with the fight is
that the rebel or the rebellion
148
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,000
is dictated by the authority
that they're rebelling against.
149
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
If you think about it, if the
authority moves left, then you
150
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,360
have to move right.
If it moves right, you have to
151
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,680
move left.
And So what I was helping them
152
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,040
understand is that when you do
that, you're creating from the
153
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,680
old and you're creating from
your trauma.
154
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,880
So you'll simply, but create
more trauma.
155
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,600
And therefore you have to have
a, you have a need for trauma.
156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,360
You actually trauma bonded.
So what I was helping people
157
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,240
understand is we can move beyond
resilience and trauma to create
158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,720
from a place of love.
And when you do that, you
159
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,320
completely create from a place
new that is for you and for your
160
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240
family, for your future.
North American Indians make a
161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,600
decision for considering 7
generations into the future
162
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,720
because they know that 7
generations before were
163
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960
connected to the thing, to the
moment in time that they're in
164
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,640
right now.
So, you know, using those very
165
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,000
simple ancient concepts and just
helping people remember them and
166
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,640
then empowering people to stand
up and and saying we don't
167
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,560
actually agree with the fact
that you guys are removing all
168
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,280
these this beautiful country
because of the all these trees,
169
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,120
etcetera.
For some development.
170
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600
No, we want, this is our
community and our community
171
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,920
wants to be in a certain way,
but not just saying that being
172
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,280
able to not fight it per SE, but
provide alternative options,
173
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:05,880
provide, you know, a way
forward, a vision for everyone
174
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,720
to move forward, not just to go
stop, stop, stop, but go real.
175
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400
I realize, OK, no, we don't want
to go in that direction, so
176
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,480
let's stop that direction.
But we need to set another
177
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,480
direction.
Otherwise, stagnation causes
178
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,440
cancer.
Right.
179
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Don't just fight where someone's
going.
180
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,560
Give a give a better direction.
You need to don't just be
181
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:28,320
against someone else's solution.
We you need to come with come up
182
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040
with your own.
Yeah, I mean, I remember my,
183
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,880
when I was a combat team
commander, I had over 110
184
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,040
soldiers, you know, and I had
three key young lieutenants that
185
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,200
were part of the, that they were
my teeth of the, of the group
186
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,800
because we're a combat
organization.
187
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,440
And, and whenever they walk in,
matter of fact, whenever anyone
188
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040
walked into my office, I said
that door will always remain
189
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,360
open whether or not you walk in
or not.
190
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,640
That's a different thing.
Because if you walk in with an
191
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,200
issue, you're going to bring 3
solutions because that shows me
192
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,960
you've been proactive and you've
thought about it.
193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,840
You haven't just come to dump it
on my desk.
194
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520
And that's not respectful to me.
And it's actually therefore not
195
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,720
respectful to yourself because
you're disempowering yourself.
196
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,680
So walk into my office with an
issue, have three solutions.
197
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:11,360
Now sometimes they come in and
and they go.
198
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,680
So I've really scratched my head
about this one.
199
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,560
I've got no idea.
So we'd sit down together and
200
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:17,640
we'd work through it, or
sometimes they'd throw their
201
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
three options on the table and
say, Yep, what I also know is
202
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,840
this, this and this.
And what I also have available
203
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,720
is this.
So let's come up with option 4.
204
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,080
So we'd do that, but quite
regular, especially when we then
205
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480
deployed to Iraq into combat
where time was of the essence
206
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,280
that would come back and say
situation is this, this and this
207
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,760
recommend?
I've got three options recommend
208
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,600
A and also they'll get a message
over the radio was do it because
209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,000
that I knew that that
demonstrated to me that level of
210
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,960
rapport and understanding and
trust that that was that were
211
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280
competent, that demonstrated
competence, capability and
212
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280
credibility.
And and in that moment was like
213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,080
bang, yeah, go, go, go, go.
And it it just meant that we had
214
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,840
a really great quick decision.
Cycle you, you admit when we
215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,600
spoke the other day you would
mentioned seeing more people
216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,240
kind of operating from fear as
opposed to love which you had
217
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,920
mentioned earlier.
So do is there an increase in
218
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,240
that or is it always been people
always operated that way and
219
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,360
you're just noticing it more?
Did you have any idea?
220
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,960
Well, if you if you follow a guy
called, it used to be Doctor
221
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,960
David Hawkins, he has a scale of
consciousness between 0 and 1020
222
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,200
is the lowest vibrating emotion.
That's shame, followed by guilt
223
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,360
and apathy.
When you when you hit around a
224
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,520
vibration of about 100 to 150
where fear sits, you become
225
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,320
extremely manipulatable.
And this isn't just in David
226
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,360
Hawkins has just quantified it
in a scale.
227
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,400
It's this has been known for a
long time.
228
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,000
When a person's in fear,
confusion will often set in.
229
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,400
The fear will actually remove
the blood from your neocortex.
230
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,280
So your rational reasoning mind
draws it out of your brain.
231
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,800
So your brain function becomes
even more cloudy.
232
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,760
And so in that time you become
more volatile and therefore any
233
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,240
stability in moving forward,
say, you know, solid direction,
234
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,520
et cetera, it becomes very hit
and miss.
235
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,560
And not only that, you will
often give away your power to
236
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:18,320
other people that have, you
know, other interests at at
237
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,640
play.
So, and we will do that.
238
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640
You know, you look at the last
four years, a lot of people
239
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,720
chose to do things which weren't
morally what they wanted for
240
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,000
normally, but because they
needed to keep their job, they
241
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,520
chose to do something that and
if if the situation was
242
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,760
different, they wouldn't have
done it.
243
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,840
So well.
The question as soon as that
244
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600
happens is you then realize
you're not making a medical
245
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,080
decision.
You're actually making a values
246
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,320
values decision.
And what you've demonstrated is
247
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,120
your values change based on the
external environment instead of
248
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,800
coming to a place inside your
life where you're so deeply
249
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,640
connected that you are rooted in
your values and they don't
250
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,480
change to the environment.
What what happens is your
251
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960
interaction with the environment
changes, not the values
252
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,880
themselves.
And see that caused a lot of
253
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,800
confusion, which you know, fear
is perpetuated from and fear
254
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,120
also causes division.
And so therefore, if you look at
255
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,680
communities, communities
breakdown because of division.
256
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:23,680
I mean, I'm still struggling to
understand back in 2000 and
257
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,920
Australia, something happened
with toilet paper and and I'm
258
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,600
really not too sure what it was,
but you couldn't for the life if
259
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,800
you get toilet paper and people
were in the shops arguing and
260
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,080
fighting over toilet paper,
which, you know, has so much
261
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,920
iron to me.
And I could go totally left
262
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,640
fielding into the gutter about
that, but I won't.
263
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,360
But I still scratched my head
because there was actually no
264
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,240
issue with toilet paper and it
never never became an issue
265
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,520
except because the fear created
it.
266
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,360
And that's what fear does.
Fear creates the thing, the
267
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,560
movie that it's actually telling
you to get away from.
268
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,720
Now when you do deep work with a
person, you help them go deep
269
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,760
inside and go right in and and
actually embrace the fear
270
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,320
because it you can't push fear
away it it locks down and then
271
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,520
will service in many different
ways, particularly behavioural
272
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,880
patterns.
But when you draw the actual
273
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,360
emotion in, you sit in it.
What happens is quite regularly
274
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,280
fear is linked to a belief of
safety and a lot of people
275
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,680
believe that safety is the
fundamental human condition.
276
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,040
It's not actually, but it's
belonging which is the
277
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,720
fundamental condition and people
will give up their safety to
278
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,800
belong.
It's really fascinating.
279
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,200
You look at any life threatening
situations like where a family's
280
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,640
involved and stuff and love
which is linked to belonging,
281
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,520
people will do fascinating
things.
282
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,920
A good friend of mine lost his
life in a canyoning incident in
283
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Europe when his brother though
he had he had three brothers and
284
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,920
they were all doing a canyoning
thing and a flash flood came
285
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
through the Canyon.
His brother got was getting
286
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,960
swept away.
He dived inside his brother and
287
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,920
gave his own life, truly
courageous thing.
288
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,240
And now in the moment he
wouldn't have thought it
289
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,680
courageous.
He just would have done it
290
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,880
because of love and the sense of
belonging for the family.
291
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,320
So fear is fear is a separative
emotion, whereas love is a
292
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,400
unifying emotion.
And you know, Australia's a
293
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,280
great example, but
realistically, Australia's a
294
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,960
microcosm of the globe.
And, and I think America, you
295
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,720
know, you had the Standing Rock
thing.
296
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,920
You've got, you've still got a
lot of issues amongst your, you
297
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,040
know, your past and your present
and, and into your future.
298
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,600
You know, just the last couple
of weeks just demonstrated that.
299
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,320
But you know, in Australia, one
of the things is we still have a
300
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,400
lot of guilt and shame sitting
around about the last 200 years.
301
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Instead of realizing that in
this moment, what we can do is
302
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,040
we can go stop to that guilt and
shame and we can build from a
303
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,280
place of love and unity and we
can create a future which is in
304
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
that.
But at the moment, what everyone
305
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,000
is most people are trying to do,
and I say most people because
306
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,600
there's quite a few people
actually, that there's a,
307
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,200
there's an emergence of what I'm
talking about that's happening.
308
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120
And that is that we go, OK, we
acknowledge the past.
309
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,600
It's not that I don't
acknowledge the past, but I'm
310
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,960
not bringing the past into the
present to actually create the
311
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,280
future.
What I'll do is I'll acknowledge
312
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200
the past, I'll learn from the
past, which means that healing
313
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,520
can happen.
And I'll take the lesson of the
314
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,040
past.
And the lesson of the past is,
315
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,120
is division creates pain in
essence, in if you look at every
316
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800
narrative, every story, every
history, division will always
317
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,880
create pain.
So obviously, if I'm to learn
318
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,200
from that, then unifying is the
way forward.
319
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,000
That would be the lesson.
How do I unify fear or love?
320
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,040
It's love.
And the ancient sages have
321
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
always said there's only two
emotions, fear and love, the
322
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,200
psychologist would argue.
But anyway, so so the point is
323
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,200
we then creating this moment
from love and we unify moving
324
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,400
forward.
We acknowledge everyone's
325
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,960
differences because that's what
gives beauty like a trees, even
326
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,840
the same specie of trees are
different.
327
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,720
But if you look and I'm looking
out into a nature reserve at the
328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,200
moment and like there's so much
going on out there, but it's all
329
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,280
actually in harmony.
It's not, it's not sustaining.
330
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,120
There's no sustainability out
there.
331
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,119
It's actually in harmony because
there's death and there's birth
332
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,240
constantly happening in this
cycle and it's and it's all done
333
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,720
in in unison.
Right.
334
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,520
So, so nature's harmonious
sustainability gets talked about
335
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,880
in the picture when you add man
and we kind of screw up the
336
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,400
harmony and we need to take
different actions to kind of
337
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,520
save what we've just been
destroying.
338
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,520
But yeah, you know, I, I love
all this talk of acting from
339
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,400
fear and how it really shuts the
brain down because you're we're
340
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,680
seeing across the globe more and
more democracies are are
341
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
choosing more authoritarian
leaders.
342
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,600
So that's to me that that
populace is really living in
343
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,400
fear.
So they want to.
344
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800
It's almost like they want to be
told what to do and feel safe.
345
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,280
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
346
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,520
Total sense.
I mean, one of the biggest
347
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,280
reasons that was going on in the
last, you know, few years is
348
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,280
people actually fear death so
much.
349
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Now there's a beautiful man that
wrote in 1941 a book called
350
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800
Escape from Freedom.
His name is Eric Fromm.
351
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:03,440
He was a Jewish psychiatrist at
the time, a German psychiatrist.
352
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,760
I don't know who's Jewish, but
he wrote about the rise of
353
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,800
fascism when it was happening.
And not only did he write about
354
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,240
it, he gave you a a history of
Western psychology dating way
355
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,440
back to the Roman times as to
how the psychology of the West
356
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,200
had shifted at certain stages to
come into a place where it was
357
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,600
susceptible for and needed in in
a place fascism to slot in and
358
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,720
fill something.
This is what we forget.
359
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Something will always grow
because there's a need.
360
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,920
Now if it's an unconscious
growth, then quite regularly
361
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,520
there'll be a lot of collateral
damage and cancer, etcetera.
362
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,760
But if it's a conscious growth,
it it doesn't have to be that
363
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,040
way.
It can actually be something
364
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560
completely beautiful and rich
and harmonious.
365
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,680
And that's actually the premise
of what I refer to and what I
366
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,560
teach is harmonic leadership.
But it all starts with what an
367
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,280
ancient Christian Mystic would
say is I must, I must sanctify
368
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,040
myself.
I must purify myself before I'm
369
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,360
illuminated to the divine.
And that you know, we therefore
370
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:08,200
with harmonic leadership, we
start with purify myself as the
371
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,480
leader, prepare myself before I
prepare my organization, before
372
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,240
I even think about preparing my
community.
373
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,840
Because if I go into my
community and I'm, I'm not pure,
374
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,840
then I'm probably acting out of
wound.
375
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,320
And then I could be projecting
that wound and that wound will
376
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,960
have fear and and delays with it
and it won't be coming from a
377
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,200
place of love and unity.
So I must purify myself first,
378
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:31,120
make sure my intent is actually
pure, and then I step out.
379
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,720
And when I step out, I actually
attract as opposed to push.
380
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,840
And again, this is a David
Hawkins concept of force versus
381
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,640
power, power versus force.
I don't force an issue, I
382
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,960
empower an issue for it.
And I do that through, I do do
383
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,400
that through becoming a magnet,
becoming magnetic.
384
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,600
How do I become magnetic?
What I actually do is tune into
385
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000
the frequency of what my
intention is and my vision and I
386
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,160
amp that.
And when I say amp that it's the
387
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,600
amplitude of the the way which
actually gives you the power.
388
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,400
And when I focus on that in such
a refined fashion, what I
389
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,440
actually do to not my just my
neurochemistry, but my whole
390
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,360
being is I put out a magnetic
field which therefore attracts.
391
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,320
And so therefore I then unify a
team.
392
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,880
Unifying the team is the is the
second stage now a unify A-Team
393
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,880
which is aligned to my purified
self.
394
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:27,680
And because we're all aligned,
when you get 2 waves, two sine
395
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,280
waves or frequency waves, if
they're the same frequency and
396
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,320
the same amplitude and you put
them together, that will double
397
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,160
their amplitude.
And so that then ends up in a
398
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,800
exponential curve of power
increase.
399
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,520
When I've got a suite of people
coming in, it's like who's
400
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,960
you're in Massachusetts?
Yeah, yes.
401
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,280
So do you guys play in Michigan
at all unsafe footy or anything
402
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,400
like that?
Because Michigan's pretty big
403
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,960
over there, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
404
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,480
So in in New England, we got
lots of smaller colleges.
405
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,720
So none of them, none of them
are really a sports powerhouse.
406
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,840
So way more pros.
So college football is bigger
407
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,280
and plays like Michigan and
where where, you know, college
408
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320
stadiums dwarf professional ones
because there's so many people,
409
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,480
so many alumni and there's
there's there's no pro sports
410
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,360
kind of competing with it.
Yeah, got you.
411
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:25,240
So just imagine you've got
you've got people sitting at a
412
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,360
bar.
You got three people sitting at
413
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:30,120
a bar and it's in Michigan and
they're talking who's the best
414
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,640
quarterback to play the game?
And you got a Michigan person
415
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,360
you got and you got two other
people from from other other
416
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,960
camps.
Now, will they ever agree about
417
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,400
who was the the best
quarterback?
418
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:43,040
No.
Exactly.
419
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,520
Right.
But then all of a sudden, a
420
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,240
bunch of ice hockey players just
crash into the pub.
421
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,600
Yeah.
What's immediately changed to
422
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,360
the conversation?
What sport they're talking
423
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:53,960
about?
Exactly.
424
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,920
It's not what quarterbacks the
best.
425
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:59,360
The conversation is just
elevated to a unifying question,
426
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:04,160
which is what's the best sport?
And so if they don't do that,
427
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,520
then three blokes will be
destroyed by, you know, the
428
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,240
whole swamp of ice hockey
fanatics which have just stormed
429
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,160
in.
So or they might actually all
430
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,520
get along over an ice cold beer
around a nice warm fire.
431
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,520
We don't know.
But the the point is what
432
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,640
happens is, is we elevate the
question to a unifying
433
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,360
principle.
And when we start to do that,
434
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,880
that comes from vision that like
there is not a leader of the
435
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,440
country, not not a leader that
I've found at the moment in, in
436
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,640
democracies, which is actually
painting a unifying division.
437
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,360
Sorry, a unifying, unifying
vision.
438
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,320
That was a Freudian slip, wasn't
it?
439
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280
That they are all, they are all
in.
440
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,640
It's some form of dystopia, some
form of negativity, some form
441
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,720
of, you know, there's an
apocalypse on the, on the the
442
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,840
figure.
But your slip is accurate, where
443
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,560
they're presenting unifying
division to get that one tribe
444
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320
unified in its divisiveness.
Divisiveness.
445
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Exactly.
So the, the, the point is that
446
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,520
we, it's, it's possibly time
that we start asking questions.
447
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:11,520
And in my humble opinion, the,
the, the biggest pandemic we had
448
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,840
in the last four years was the
lack of critical thinking.
449
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,920
And lack critical thinking goes
out the window when we're in
450
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,960
fear because our rational
cognitive mind actually starts
451
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,840
to slip.
And not only that, when that
452
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,680
happens, group think starts to
come in, in that is linked to
453
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,400
fear.
So what what tends to happen is
454
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,560
is you, you become divided.
Not only that you'll become
455
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,040
ostracized and you might simply
be asking a question which is
456
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,360
actually designed to unify, but
the even the unifying question
457
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,320
will get knocked on the head.
I mentioned Eric Fromm.
458
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,880
The thing he said in his book
Escape from Freedom was the
459
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,840
further a man moves away from
his source, the more he will
460
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,200
fight to have his freedom taken
from him.
461
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,840
That's a pretty powerful
statement.
462
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,520
So the, the, the point that I'm,
I'm suggesting to people at the
463
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,840
moment, if you want to create
something amazing for your not
464
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,760
just your kids, but your
grandkids, is it starts with you
465
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,560
and it starts in love.
It doesn't start from the womb,
466
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,200
but in communities.
What I teach them is, is a
467
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,840
community that doesn't have
conflict is actually destined to
468
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,680
destruction.
They'll destined to stagnate and
469
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,000
then they'll destroy themselves
because what happens is things
470
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,760
get pushed under the carpet.
It's not that you don't have
471
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,120
conflict because conflict
actually.
472
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,720
And anger is an emotion.
Anger's all about change.
473
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,080
Anger's asking us to change.
It's why it's a, a vocal emotion
474
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,720
too.
It's an energizing emotions
475
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,160
because of because of what it's
asking for.
476
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,600
And it will get locked jaw and
grinding of teeth.
477
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,120
It's all related to, to the
suppression of anger.
478
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,440
So it's not that you, you've got
conflict or not, sorry if you,
479
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,120
it's not that the conflict's a
bad thing, it's that it's a
480
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,160
symptom of other things.
So a community or an
481
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,640
organization that doesn't have a
conflict resolution, that it's
482
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,240
not just conflict resolution.
What I, what I teach people is
483
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,800
conflicts are simply symptoms of
other things at play.
484
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,880
And so by actually understanding
this and going in and finding
485
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,000
the causal issue, but not just
finding the causal issue as
486
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,920
leaders, so often people leaders
will jump in and try and fix it.
487
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,560
There's nothing to fix.
Matter of fact, a vision which
488
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320
is actually built on trying to
fix something or solve a problem
489
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,520
is not going to grow too much.
It's going to have a very short,
490
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,120
like small expansion.
And if you look at most science
491
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:38,160
and other things at the moment,
they're all about fixing
492
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,320
something or solving a problem
instead of creating something
493
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,000
completely new that's
revolutionary.
494
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,960
And that goes into the field of
chaos, actually chaos theory.
495
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,360
But come back to this point,
it's like if I, if I as a
496
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:54,600
leader, identify the, the issue
and then go and solve it, is my
497
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280
team in power to do the same or
will they always need me as the
498
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,480
leader?
So what I've been trying to
499
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,880
explain to people is one of the,
the, the principles of harmonic
500
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,320
leadership is to understand,
help your team identify the
501
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,240
dysfunction and then empower
your team with the systems to
502
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,240
actually heal that wound and
grow from that wound.
503
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,600
And when you do that, all of a
sudden you get what's it's, it's
504
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,400
in, in a number of leadership
circles, it's called cellular
505
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,560
cellular leadership.
You get a suite, suite of
506
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,600
self-sustaining cells that are
actually can self perpetuate.
507
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,280
And as long as the river holds
the river is the bank and the
508
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,200
floor of the river, which is
your, your values and your
509
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,960
vision and your direction.
As long as you've got that set,
510
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,320
then you've got all these things
moving along at a very, very
511
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,200
rapid rate.
And that's when you can get
512
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,440
exponential movement growth.
And not only that, it will be as
513
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,000
long as the right philosophy has
been underpinned by everything,
514
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,760
then what you'll get is you'll
get a better outcome.
515
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,880
You'll get a better, more
attuned and organically
516
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,160
developed outcome for that group
so it will fit better as opposed
517
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,400
to a projected or imposed.
Again, all sorts of flashbacks
518
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,640
to training I had like back in
2010, and it's something I help
519
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,520
clients with now, but it was one
of the first steps I did when
520
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,200
working with a coach was was
clarify my values.
521
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,320
And the first time I did the
exercise, my top value was
522
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,800
safety.
And realizing that was rooted in
523
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,040
fear.
That's when I first heard of
524
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,520
like, Oh my God, yeah, I'm
rooted in fear.
525
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,600
So really revalue that and
changed my whole really world
526
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,880
view by having that discovery
that I was living from fear.
527
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,640
But another thing we did, and I
do love the the freedom forces
528
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,760
force book and I I have that
print out.
529
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,920
It's right over there on my
wall.
530
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,360
But in in energy work in an
energy coaching program I
531
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:54,720
completed again back in 2010.
There was a a way would
532
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,640
visualize turning up your
vibration and it literally was
533
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,200
visualizing a volume knob.
And if I'm feeling shame and we
534
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,800
would like, oh, turn the volume
down on that.
535
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,000
And if you want to feel
authenticity, if you want to
536
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,440
feel Lovejoy, picture that knob
and turn it up as far as you
537
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,120
can.
And, and, and forget to people
538
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,440
to really feel that we'd get him
in a meditative state and
539
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,840
visualize a knob and say turn up
joy and now turn it down.
540
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,480
And they would feel it just to
prove to people that this is
541
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,160
doing something to go, go take
it all the way down to 0 or one
542
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,120
and then go back up to like
seven or eight.
543
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:29,480
And, and like they would feel in
their own bodies, in their
544
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,080
minds, in their soul, this
difference by visualizing a
545
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,280
knob.
But we are all way more in
546
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:41,040
control of our energy, of our
values, of our choices then
547
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,840
we're ever taught.
Unless someone lives in a
548
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,200
community that you show up in
and teaches about leadership and
549
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,320
governance and and how to
structure everything.
550
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,640
So yeah.
And that's, that's a fascinating
551
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,000
thing.
Like we, there's, there is a, a
552
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,760
large narrative at the moment,
you know, we don't understand as
553
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,120
human beings how powerful we
are.
554
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:00,880
And I completely agree with this
and I understand it.
555
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,160
The, the one of the issues
though, is that, well, it's not
556
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,760
too much of an issue because
what it is, is, is, is a vision.
557
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Like it's it's way out there and
people go, well, you know, how
558
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,760
do I get there?
When the students ready, the
559
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,040
teacher will appear and the
teacher can be in in more
560
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,480
realities than not.
The the teacher will show up in
561
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,120
a very toxic way and we just
don't see it as a teacher.
562
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,120
This is comes back to this point
about alchemism, chaos and
563
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,840
alchemy like goes back to the
ancient Hermetic belief system
564
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,120
coming out of of ancient commit,
which is the preceder of Egypt.
565
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,160
So the the point there is that
instead of letting go of
566
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:49,000
anything, it's to realize that
if I let everything dissolve
567
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,480
into its pure state, what will
be birthed is the new reality.
568
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,840
So there has to be a death for
the birth to occur.
569
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,600
It's like when I often ask,
what's the what's the opposite
570
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,480
of death?
And most people will turn around
571
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,480
and say life.
No, it's not.
572
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Birth is the opposite of death.
We just forget that in any
573
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,440
moment, like we'll have a suite
of, of deaths and birth.
574
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,520
So I woke at 2:00 last night and
I was meditating because I was
575
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,840
awake and I, it was like this
and a beautiful joy came over me
576
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,440
because I realized I was
meditating.
577
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,600
And, you know, in the past when
I was, you know, in not a good
578
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,560
way, I'd get annoyed at waking
at that hour because I've got
579
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,400
stuff to do today.
So I'd be tired instead.
580
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,200
Now it's like this realization
I'm awake for a reason.
581
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:41,720
So embrace the moment.
So there's no, there's no fight.
582
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,240
There's actually an embracing.
It's not even a surrender.
583
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,560
It's an embracing of that that
actual moment.
584
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Funnily enough, I don't think I
was awake for too much longer,
585
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:58,680
but the this this alchemizing
occurs when I completely allowed
586
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,280
to dissolve like the phoenix
dying in its own ashes and then
587
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,480
it and then it's reborn.
But what's more often than not,
588
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,240
people don't realise and there's
a lot of people in energetic
589
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,840
healing spaces that I've worked
with.
590
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:11,920
They'll come to me and they'll
be scratching their head and
591
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,400
they're saying, James, you know,
I keep hitting a glass ceiling.
592
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,440
And this vision of being
infinitely powerful is just why?
593
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,200
It's just, it's too far to to
reach.
594
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Well, The thing is that doesn't
mean to say it's the wrong
595
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,400
vision, by the way.
It's creating a void, and
596
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,520
leaders create voids by placing
visions which appear
597
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,120
insurmountable.
And that actually cracks a
598
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,040
mindset.
It's like Henry Ford when he
599
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,680
invented or he didn't invent it,
but his engineers invented the
600
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,280
V8 engine.
And that story is really quite
601
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,280
powerful when he said he drew a
schematic of what he wanted and
602
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,640
his scientists said they can't
do it.
603
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,240
So he sacked his scientists.
More engineers came in and said
604
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440
we can't do it, and he sacked
them again until he found a
605
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,960
group of people that could,
could actually not only see his
606
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640
vision, but had the capability
of building the bridge to
607
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,680
actually achieve it.
That's why we have the V8 engine
608
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,760
there.
And when we look at that, we go,
609
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,960
OK, well, our, our forms of
governance and governing at the
610
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,560
moment is, is really, you know,
quite regularly it's
611
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:10,720
narcissistic.
It's a go.
612
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,120
It gets very short term.
They're looking for the election
613
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560
cycles in Australia.
Realistically, even though we
614
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,640
have a four term, four year
period term in government,
615
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,000
realistically you're looking at
an election cycle of around 18
616
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,400
months.
Now before they actually go on
617
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,520
the the train of slightly slowly
bringing in the nuances of, of
618
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,360
saying I should be re elected
and you go, you can get wrapped
619
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,320
up in that and there's so much
drama.
620
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,400
And then then I asked the
question or how does it affect
621
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,320
your life?
And they'll throw all these
622
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,080
reasons at me.
Now.
623
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,160
The only reason why it affects
their life is because they
624
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,200
choose to allow it to.
It doesn't actually affect my
625
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,440
life.
Cool.
626
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,160
If you, if you want to go and,
and say that stuff and, and do
627
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,560
that, there's people have very
short term memories nowadays and
628
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,520
the I actually don't.
I have quite a, a good memory
629
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,600
and quite a a long term memory.
So I don't need to be affected
630
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,560
by that.
And in this moment, I can go, I
631
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,600
can, can, can go, right?
Where am I?
632
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,960
Where do I want to be?
And what's my first step in
633
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,320
everything?
They come back to this point
634
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,880
about alchemizing.
Alchemizing will require
635
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,320
destruction of a paradigm always
because the Einstein said it.
636
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,040
You know, you can't solve the
same problem at the level of the
637
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,360
problem was actually created.
It has to.
638
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,640
He was talking.
Talking alchemically.
639
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,120
In essence.
Einstein was an alchemist.
640
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Carl Jung was an alchemist, for
crying out loud.
641
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,160
I've got a beautiful book of
Jung's here.
642
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920
It's like psychology and
alchemy.
643
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,560
Isaac Newton was an alchemist.
He tasted mercury for 40 years
644
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,680
of his life every morning and
there was 1,000,000 parchments
645
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,680
that was sold by his family in
1939.
646
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,960
Sorry, 1935, that we're very
alchemistic.
647
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,880
And the reason why they locked
him up in the trunk and didn't
648
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,080
let anyone know was because they
didn't want his name tarnished.
649
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,160
Because back then in the late
17th century, it was like still
650
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,560
like when Isaac was born.
I think it was about only a few
651
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,000
years before, like a decade
before, someone has still been
652
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
burned at the stake for heresy.
So you had to be very careful
653
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,639
back then what you said.
Well, funnily enough, what
654
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:15,199
happened to a lot of people in
the last four years is they got
655
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:16,560
burned at the stake
metaphorically.
656
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,840
So, you know, we can say our
times were different.
657
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,719
Times are different.
Well, actually, are they too
658
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,560
much?
And so the, the underlying
659
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,600
principles remain the same.
And that is, if we're, if we're
660
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,080
to create from a place of love,
then I have to let go of the
661
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,520
paradigms which are fair and
constructed by fear, which
662
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,159
therefore means I have to go
through my levels of denial
663
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,199
because and I have to get
uncomfortable.
664
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,920
And that discomfort is the wound
festering and coming up.
665
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,639
Now, as we've known from
medicine times, you know, time
666
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,639
immemorial, the, the medicine is
actually deep in the wound and
667
00:34:53,639 --> 00:34:55,840
it's like trauma.
The actual medicine is in the
668
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,120
trauma because you can't
completely heal from trauma
669
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,960
unless you've, you've released
the emotional attachment to the
670
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,640
1st century image within the
mind, sight, sound, taste, touch
671
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,240
and smell.
And it's bonded at the
672
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,280
subconscious level with actual
emotion.
673
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,240
And that emotion has to be let
go of because then what can
674
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:18,120
happen is the image just can
sit, but then the context of the
675
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,560
image can come.
And what happens with context,
676
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,160
meaning appears.
And when I get meaning, I get
677
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:28,680
the lesson and then I can evolve
from the situation.
678
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,480
But what like what our hero
worship of resilience is doing
679
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,760
at the moment is it's saying
like under the like a scientific
680
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,800
definition of resilience is that
it resilience is the ability for
681
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:46,400
an object to take an impact and
then rebound back to its its
682
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,720
previous natural state.
So if you then put that into
683
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,000
like an analogy of the your
psychology and you put into
684
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,200
trauma, you've been impacted by
something and then you've got to
685
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,280
go back to the pre impact state,
which means you've got to let go
686
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,440
of the scar.
And you even hear this in
687
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,800
people's words, they'll say, I
just wish it was the way it was.
688
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,800
I just wish you were the person
that you were before, etcetera,
689
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,280
etcetera.
So what they're asking you to do
690
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,280
is remove anything that life was
trying to teach you in that
691
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,520
moment, which is saying life has
no interaction with you.
692
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,520
You're in an isolated aspect of
your environment, which we also
693
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,320
know is not true.
So when we let go of the concept
694
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,640
of resilience, funnily enough,
we also can then move into a
695
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,720
place where we might actually be
able to let go of what's called
696
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:34,120
trauma, because trauma is simply
where the psyche actually
697
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,280
vacates the body because of the
emotional suppression and
698
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,160
stagnation which all energy work
attempts to remove.
699
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,600
Psychology attempts to in
certain ways as well, but we
700
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,680
know that talk therapy is only
about 30% effective because it
701
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,160
doesn't actually connect to the
emotional stagnation which has
702
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,800
occurred.
And for the psyche.
703
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,800
And where does psyche come from?
The etymology of the word psyche
704
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,000
in Greek is soul.
So in essence the soul is not
705
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,240
allowed to embody into our our
place.
706
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:04,040
So if we want to come from a
place of love, then I actually
707
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,720
have to embody everything, which
means I have to have let go of
708
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,800
the old concept or paradigm
which brought the, the
709
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,840
perception of trauma in the
first place.
710
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,600
And I do that through the
healing, which is necessary,
711
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,160
letting go of the emotion and
then the reframing of the
712
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,880
situation.
And in that reframing, the
713
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,640
context provides the meaning.
And then I can actually from
714
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,120
that meaning embedded into the
lesson, which then creates my
715
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,160
future.
And that then I move through
716
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,440
what's called post traumatic
growth.
717
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,320
And I'm, I'm beyond post
traumatic growth now because I
718
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,840
have no identity whatsoever to
and no need for that other
719
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,400
stuff.
It happened and I'm immensely
720
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,160
grateful, but I don't have a
need for it because there's no
721
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,920
identifying with it.
So I'm, I'm loving all this talk
722
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,560
and how, how this all falls
under kind of the harmonic
723
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,240
leadership which you mentioned a
couple of times.
724
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,440
So I know you have a program all
all about that.
725
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,320
Why?
Why don't you tell me about
726
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,680
that?
Yeah, I've got a three month
727
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,320
online program coming up in
starting on the 14th of August
728
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,000
Australian time.
And the, the whole premise of
729
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,280
that is, is at the moment, there
are more and more people who are
730
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,520
stepping up and they're going,
there has to be another way.
731
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,600
And I really actually want to
learn from, I want to not only
732
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,400
learn from love, but I want to
lead from love.
733
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,560
I want to understand how to be
the better person.
734
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,080
So not just for me, but for
possibly my organization, my
735
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,240
family, my whoever it is that
they want to affect them within
736
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:25,360
the world.
And I want to do that in a
737
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,320
different way in which, you
know, challenges me to grow.
738
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,560
It challenges me to be connected
into whatever spiritual essence
739
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,000
is that I actually hold.
Whatever language that is, it's
740
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,800
fine.
Doesn't matter as long as you've
741
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,320
got one.
And if you know, you just
742
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,440
harbour the psychological
understanding of life.
743
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,480
It's just, you know, essence
connecting to your true self.
744
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,320
So it doesn't matter what it is,
just as long as you've got the
745
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,400
architecture.
So and that the program will
746
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,120
will deeply take you into an
understanding of how your your
747
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,240
leadership personality and what
your wires and your wires are
748
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,200
really, really important.
Because if it's not connected to
749
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,160
an inspiration coming from the
word Inspiritus or, and from
750
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,360
source, then you'll ebb and flow
as a leader.
751
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,600
And you, you won't be able to
influence as many people as you
752
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,520
want.
You'll find that you'll get
753
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:15,320
exhausted and you know, great
ideas will, will come and go.
754
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,960
They can't be grounded into
reality, which is what I'm
755
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,520
finding now is more and more
people saying that enough,
756
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,760
There's a line in the sand.
I've got a great idea.
757
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,560
And I really, I'm, I really
wanted to, to come into
758
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,760
realization, to come into
manifestation or creation.
759
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,560
And so that's what harmonic
leadership program shows you how
760
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,360
to do it.
It shows you how to identify not
761
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,080
only the blocks within yourself,
but those blocks are actually
762
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,520
lessons just wanting to be
learnt.
763
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,240
And so it helps you learn the
process to do that, which then
764
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:43,880
is replicatable to you and the
way you lead, which actually
765
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,360
then empowers your team.
So you empower your team to
766
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,800
actually unify together to
actually go and create something
767
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,880
even bigger, which gets to the
third phase of a harmonic
768
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,520
leadership, which is amplifying
your effect.
769
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,040
And so in three months they take
you right through this.
770
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,120
There is a residential, but if
anyone wants to come to
771
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,920
Australia, that's awesome.
It's, it's, it's only going to
772
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,520
be for around 20 people.
I'm keeping it, keeping it
773
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,840
relatively small.
But the actual, the, that's the
774
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,120
residential.
But the online program's open to
775
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,680
anyone because it, there's an
aspect of group stuff.
776
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,360
There's webinars quite regularly
and there's and they also have
777
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,080
the ability to come and have
one-on-one sessions with me too.
778
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:20,680
Awesome.
So what?
779
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,360
Where should people go to learn
more about that program and
780
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,760
about everything else that
you're up to?
781
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,920
Well, the best thing to do is
just just connect with me.
782
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:31,840
One of the easiest ways is to do
it on Facebook.
783
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,480
I'm just James Greenshields and
make you very kindly putting the
784
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,680
links on the podcast comments
below.
785
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,200
And I, you know, but the other
one is to just send a message
786
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,080
directly to me and say, hey,
James, I'm interested and I'll
787
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,120
set up a time to talk because
one of the things that I've
788
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,800
realised about programs is they
don't necessarily fit everyone.
789
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,280
And so I want for the best thing
for the group.
790
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,880
And again, now as a leader, I'm
thinking of the group within the
791
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,560
within the actual program.
The best thing for the group is
792
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,080
that the program actually fits
you.
793
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,840
So we'll have a conversation.
We'll just make sure it fits and
794
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,400
and your objectives are
commensurate to what the actual
795
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,360
course will provide.
And then, yeah, we'll lock in
796
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,920
and we'll roll from there.
So yeah, reach out, message me.
797
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,200
Probably Facebook's the easiest.
If you put my e-mail address in
798
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,360
there, I don't mind people
emailing me as well directly.
799
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,440
And yeah, we can have a
conversation.
800
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,240
Well, we need to have
conversations more often than
801
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:27,920
we've had them recently or not
so recently I should say.
802
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,040
But it's it's always great to
connect with you and there
803
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,760
there's already so many
synchronicities between what
804
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,720
we're both doing it.
It's really I I really find it
805
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,080
personally just beyond
interesting.
806
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,240
And we'll definitely get to keep
talking even without being
807
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:47,080
recorded.
But James, thanks again for
