An Evolving Man Podcast Piers Cross

What is good leadership? What makes a great leader? What is a servant leader? And how does boarding school impact our leaders?
Today I am speaking with leadership expert, Zena Me who has worked for decades with CEOs and senior leaders.
She talks about the keys of great leadership: the importance of emotional and spiritual intelligence, humility and serving the wider system.
A really fascinating conversation.

Zena works with senior leaders, coaches and constellators who want to transform social systems, making them more just, equitable and eco-conscious.
She is an experienced teacher, coach and constellator in the lost art of eldership and leads an online elders community, offering programmes for those who are trapped in mid-life and want to find their unique Eldership niche.

A video exploring why it is so important to explore our inner world.

What happens when we explore this unexamined life?

I talk about Pete Walker and his book Complex PTSD, and Robert Bly's Iron John.

Our wound becomes our gift.

Warm regards,

Piers

 Following on from last week's video I thought that I would share some of the practices and exercises that bring me joy. 

A subscriber commented on my last podcast: https://youtu.be/NGa-UoRhHWg 

They mentioned that for some people thinking about what makes them joyful is stressful. 

So today I share some of the practices that I have learned that have helped me to cultivate joy and happiness.

Warm regards, Piers

 Today I talk about the importance of joy. 

When we begin on the journey of childhood trauma healing it can become all consuming. 

Life can become really hard - lots of tears, feeling pain. 

It can feel overwhelming. 

But part of the healing is to remember the joy. 

So today I talk about the importance of remembering happiness, gratitude and joy. 

Warm regards, Piers

 Today I talk about workaholism and childhood trauma. 

Why can't you stop working? 

Especially if you had experiences of childhood trauma? 

I also talk about the link to boarding school. 

Why is that many who have been to boarding school are workaholics? 

I talk about some of the techniques that we can use to start stopping. 

Now.

Take care, 

Piers

 What is the power of grief? 

What if you can't stop crying? Is this normal? 

How important is grief on the path to healing? 

Today I talk about tears and the importance of crying as we start to heal on the recovery journey. 

I share from the work of Pete Walker and Complex PTSD and from Dr Judith Herman and her book, Trauma and Recovery. 

Is it important to grieve? 

Take care, Piers
