People, Not Numbers Joe Sejean

Managing my energy... Here is a difficult topic for me.

How to understand my energy? How to sync it with others? Which signals should I pay attention to? What can I do to bring a high level of energy?

These are few of the many questions we cover in the next Episode of the podcast with the great Josefine Campbell, executive coach and Author of the book Power Barometer https://josefinecampbell.com/book-power-barometer/.

During 2 hours, I had a fabulous conversation about Josefine and her upbringing, the importance of martial arts in her life, the multiple jobs she had, until she became the executive coach and author she is now.

Here are a few gems we talked about:

🥋 She is a quadruple champion of Japanese Jiu Jitsu in Denmark
☝️ Rather than Personal 🆚 Professional, try Private 🆚 Professional because everything is personal
🗓️ It takes 7 years for ALL our cels to have changed in our body 😳
👾 She sees the mind of people like a suite of algorithms or mini programs and it helps her a lot to coach better
⚡️ You can check your energy level before starting a meeting (it's all in the book!)
🎯 We can have multiple purposes - one purpose alone does not reflect our richness and complexity

And MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE !!!

You might not be ready for this episode.

I spent well over 2h with the incredible Aurelio C. Hammer, a sound healer and explorer, an artisan crafting instruments that impact us through specific frequencies.

Aurelio lives in Auroville, the last standing utopian community of that scale (where the first ever computer company of India was born) and created a company called SVARAM Musical Instruments & Research (https://svaram.org/).

One of his specialties? The mathematics of music (I did not know such a term existed).

You won't believe what you will learn about the powers of sound and its major impacts on our physical, mental and spiritual health.

Here are some extracts of what we talk about in this episode 40:

🫀 Each instrument touches a different layer of our being (for ex: specific frequencies trigger specific organs in our body)

🤩 There are NO ideal circumstances in life: we all go through struggle

🌪️ Nature can be brutal, far from the romantic idea he had of humans living in symbiosis with nature

❓ We always need to be ready for the unknown

⏭️ The future is more exciting to explore than the past

👲 Back in the Chinese empire, music had a role in social coherence

🧠 Music opens your feeling, your sync and capacity to work with others AND your intellectual capabilities (you read that well)

🙏 There is NO religion nor spiritual tradition without music

I could continue endlessly. This episode is so rich that it will probably challenge pre-conceived ideas you might not even know you have.

If you want to feel the joy of exploring new territories, you will enjoy this episode TO THE MAX 🤩🤩🤩!!!

He was not great at school. Nor did he know what you wanted to do with his life by his early 20s.

Until he stepped in #kendo dojo.

Werner Karnadi, a Data warehouse specialist, is above and beyond the coach of the kendo Dutch national team.

If you love sports you will be hooked by what Werner talks about during our conversation. And she loves figures you will like the way we discuss data and how to approach it with a human focus.

A truly fabulous conversation for this Episode 39.

Here are some extracts of what we talked about:

💔 He underestimated the emotional impact of being laid off, and spiralled down
🗣️ A few words from strangers have significantly impacted his life multiple times
🧐 "Don't take things personally" is absurd. How else do you want to take things?
❓You always have to associate a powerful WHY to your goal
🥋 Winning a match is NOT a goal. What you do to get that point IS a goal
🤷 If I haven't figured it out, then others might have not understood it neither -> I need to explain better.

AND MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩!!!

Thank you Josh Bishop for the connection 🙏❤️

Authenticity. A word I have always struggled with.

Overused. Misunderstood. Damaging, especially when used to judge people: "He is not authentic..."

And then I received on the show Troels Mark Meyer, the author of the book The Art of Being Authentic (available here: https://a.co/d/8jQuyCb)

I enjoyed the book and yet did not agree with all of it.

I enjoyed even more exploring our respective approaches during the episode.

We both learned a lot. What a great moment of flow, what a joy to move forward with Mark during our conversation!

Here are a few nuggets of what we discussed during the episode:

🥅 Goal driven and Purpose driven are 2 very different ball games with 2 different destinations
😞 Trauma is not a matter of "how big it was" but "how you perceived it"
📣 Changing language when sharing your emotions can have a massive impact. Example: Transform "I am angry" into "I feel anger" and see for yourself!
🧑‍🤝‍🧑 It is not just about you. Others play a prime role in the way we live our lives
🪄 There is a strong difference between Intentions and Manifestations

AND MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩!!!

And there it is. The PART II of my conversation with Josh Bishop 🤩🤩🤩

I received a lot of feedback on PART I. The story of Josh touched and resonated with quite a lot of you.

In that second conversation, Josh and I dive a bit more into the world of film-making and Josh's career.

Here are some of the things we talked about:

🎬 There is a deep difference between US movies and European ones: European movies are NOT made for commerce

🤝 It truly is about who you know

🙃 His first documentary Made in Japan was supposed to follow a stellar path and it did not eventually, which was a big let down

🔗 You do movies because you HAVE TO (as a personal necessity), not because you WANT TO

≠ Career and purpose are two very different things

AND MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!

Head of Partnerships. You might laugh but I did not even know this was a position in a company.

Then I met the great Dounia Jouron, PhD. And a whole world opened up.

Dounia works in a payment company, Adyen.

When we met and decided to record an episode together, I did not know what to expect.

I met a person who is driven by great principles and an obsession of the big picture, might it be at work or in her life. A truly fascinating conversation.

Here are a few things that struck me during our conversation:

🤲 Partnership is not a job, it is a mindset
💥 Trust is not based on stories and promises, but on actions
👍 Failure is a part of a process, not something to avoid
🤔 Intuition plays a big role Dounia's way to manage her partnerships
❓ When considering a partner, see how they treat THEIR customers

and MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩
