Our guest this week is certified Virtual Coach for Conscious Leaders Tiffany Elsener, CPCC.

I’m excited to share my conversation and interview with Tiffany Elsener with you today.

She coaches awesome ambitious remote workers (both employed or entrepreneurs), so instead of feeling isolated or stuck, they can excel while feeling supported and no longer alone. She really helps them by focusing on stuff that matters and move more quickly through challenges of leadership in this modern world so they can build a wildly thriving career and values-driven life.

Gleaning from education and learning through institutions including McGill University, Cornell University, and Graduate Institute for Transformative Learning, Tiffany has shared her approach of inspirational leadership over the last decade of working in operational management roles in events, luxury hospitality and tourism. Tiffany has mastered her coaching craft through becoming a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC).

She has touched 7 continents, experienced 30+ countries, worked abroad in 5 countries and learned lessons that come from continually pushing herself outside of her comfort zones.

Today, Tiffany takes us on to a journey of Integral Leadership and being the change you wish to see.

Key Takeaway Summary from Season 3, Episode 03:

We learn about Integral Leadership and discover what role physical intelligence, emotional intelligence, mental, and spiritual intelligence play.

We find out how you might apply aspects of Integral Leadership already and how to enhance this type of forward-thinking leadership style for best possible results for you and your team

We also cover self-care and self-awareness areas of being a leader, including the importance of simply taking time to ‘be’ instead of constantly having the ‘doing-mode’ on

Commonly misattributed quote “Be the change you wish to see in the world”:

A quick Google search shows oodles of images of the quote in question. This is a paraphrase from Gandhi's 98 volumes of writings. In Vol. 13, Ch. 153, page 241, published in 1913, the actual text reads: "We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. […] We need not wait to see what others do.”

Tiffany recommends this book because “What is more integral than active listening and inviting the rich and nuanced perspectives of others?”: Turning to One Another: Simple Conversations to Restore Hope to the Future by Margaret Wheatley

Wheatley: “I know with all my heart that the only way the world will change is if many more of us step forward, let go of our judgments, become curious about each other, and take the risk to begin a conversation.”
