Show Notes

Jonathan is at a crossroad in his leader’s journey. He’s completed all of the Illuminate questions and surfaced his vision of meaningful change. In this episode, he reveals how it feels to lose himself before finding his true path. As he embarks into the next phase of his leader’s journey, I explain what it means to “Amplify”, and then ask him what he’s bringing with him of all that he’s illuminated.

 

01:50 The power of conversation to bring things to the surface. There is a good and necessary confrontation in each question.

06:50 You’ve captured what Illuminate is all about – clarity.

07:29 When it’s just out of reach, you sense the ground falling away and you’re in free fall. For a moment, we lose ourselves.

10:54 “I’m keenly aware that I’ve discovered pathways and chambers that I’ve never been in before.”

12:26 “The conversation is the thing.”

18:05 The paradox that we have to lose ourselves before we can find ourselves.

26:01 A “shared home” is the beginning and the heart of the vision.

29:09 There’s nothing worse than the idea that you reach a moment in your life and you realize you have not lived your life well and it’s too late to change that. What an awful feeling that must be.

31:25 A mother’s anger.

35:13 Knowing your north star can be a powerful compass to the good life.

37:45 The leader arrives in Amplify

38:00 Having found your path, you’re no longer travelling solo.

38:12 What are you bringing with you from Illuminate?

41:14 They need to feel why this is necessary, urgent, why the past was intolerable. 

42:29 You yourself are not the vision. You’re the emissary for it.
