Show Notes

We’ve left London to head home to Toronto, where a few weeks later, Jonathan joins us to continue his leader’s journey. He begins by reflecting on what’s emerged for him from these Illumify questions and how he’s now feeling about igniting his vision of change.

 

00:59 The Illumify Game Changer experience so far.

10:26 Does Artificial Intelligence’s ability to consume your words stifle you from vocalizing your vision?

14:25 What if your words get so refracted that no one can hear you?

16:30 At some point you just have to get out there as a leader standing before the crowd.

17:54 Leadership emerges through language, and is made credible by action.

23:28 Illuminate can verify for you if you’re on the path you’re meant to be on.

28:58 All of our conversations were swirling around in my head.

34:52 Feeling some fear.

38:41 Values like expediency, speed, and convenience have led us down the wrong path.

41:27 Why and how leaders use a pause when they speak.

47:53 In my vision of the good life, we all find our own path.

50:05 The question of how and where we direct our attention is absolutely essential to the quality of our life.

54:30 To dig down and find the truth about yourself and accept it takes courage.

54:38 How do we build a bridge to cross the chasm between me and my vision?

59:07 What if the chasm is filled with the new ground?
