    Episode 73: AI Will Be 1,000,000x Smarter by 2032. Is Your Leadership Ready?

    In 350 years of technological disruption, steam, electricity, the internet, mobile, the number of times a government or industry has successfully stopped a technology from disrupting society is zero. So the question isn't "should AI happen." It's: are you the leader who adapts, or the one who gets left explaining why you didn't? I sat down with Brett King, ranked the #7 futurist in the world, advisor to the Obama administration and EU ministers, and dubbed the "King of Disruption" by the banking press, for a conversation that goes far beyond AI trends into what it actually takes to lead in an exponential era.   What we cover: • Why "should AI exist" is the wrong question, and what leaders should be asking instead • The real numbers behind AI's growth curve, and why 2032 will look nothing like 2026 • What entry-level job losses this year are already signaling about the next 5 years • How SCB Thailand's CEO handled the "will AI take my job" conversation with his team, a script for every leader • Why consciousness, not IQ, is the real leadership differentiator, and the subconscious pattern behind 95% of the behavior AI can't replace   "The economics won't matter, what you'll be asked isn't 'what do you do,' it's what you find meaningful."   About Guest Brett King is a globally recognized futurist, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and keynote speaker focused on artificial intelligence, fintech, banking, and the future of business. Ranked among the world's leading futurists and fintech influencers, he has delivered more than 1,000 presentations across 80 countries and advised governments, regulators, central banks, and major global brands.

    Episode 72: The Threshold Moment Every CEO and executive Faces - And How to Embrace it

    Every ambitious leader reaches a moment where growth feels blocked and almost no one realizes what's actually happening. In this episode, Dagmara reveals the hidden pattern that shows up at every threshold of expansion and why the most talented, experienced leaders are often the ones most likely to miss it. Whether you're leading organizational transformation, scaling your business, or navigating a career reinvention, this episode will change how you interpret the moments of struggle and restlessness that precede your next level. You'll discover: • The two very different ways expansion announces itself, through pain and through pull and why both are invitations, not problems to fix • Why the first instinct (change the strategy, push harder, wait for the right time) is almost always the wrong move • The "wobble moment" that causes even decisive leaders to sabotage their growth right at the threshold and how to recognize it in real time • A powerful perspective shift to move through discomfort and access the decision-making of your next-level self • Why the invitation to grow never disappears, it just gets louder If you've ever felt stuck despite doing everything right, or felt a quiet pull toward something more that you've been talking yourself out of, this episode is for you.   🔗 Ready to cross the bridge to your next level?

    Episode 71: Master building meaningful relationships in business

    What if the relationships you're not nurturing are the exact doors that strategy alone can never open? In this episode, Dagmara sits down with Gautam Ganglani, author of Breaking Bread, CEO of Right Selection for Thought Leadership, and a master of building meaningful relationships to explore the one skill most leaders underestimate as they climb higher: the ability to connect with real intention. In this episode you'll discover: • Why meaningful relationships are the engine behind leadership impact, influence, and success • What "breaking bread" actually means and how it goes far beyond dinner • The three pieces of advice Gautam received at age 13 that shaped everything he built • Simple, intentional actions that take minutes but create lasting emotional connection • How to nurture relationships in a virtual world without losing the human element • Why loneliness increases as leaders rise and what to do about it • The role of self-mastery and inner work in becoming a leader people truly connect with • How Gautam turned a 5-minute corridor conversation into a CEO's personal email and phone number   Through real stories: • A 6-week LinkedIn nurturing strategy that led to a 2-year coaching contract • A CEO who felt he already knew Gautam before they ever met in person • A spontaneous hallway encounter that became a masterclass in breaking bread in real time This is the conversation that reminds every senior leader: the doors strategy cannot open, relationships can.   About the Guest: Gautam Ganglani is a Strategic Connector, Author, Speaker, and Community Builder with over 30 years of experience helping leaders and organizations build meaningful relationships that drive growth and success. He is the Founder & CEO of Right Selection, author of Breaking Bread, and dedicated to creating high-trust connections through meaningful conversations.   🔗 Ready to elevate your leadership from the inside out?

    Episode 70: Elevate your Inner Baseline to unlock extraordinary leadership & business success

    There's an invisible operating system running underneath every decision you make, every team you lead, and every result your business creates.    Dagmara calls it your inner baseline — and most leaders never know it exists, even while it's quietly shaping the ceiling on their leadership impact and business performance.   In this episode, Dagmara breaks down the three elements that make up your inner baseline   — your identity (the subconscious self-image you operate from),   - your state (the emotional and energetic baseline you default to),  - and the subconscious patterns shaping your perception and decisions — and shows, through four real client stories, exactly how it plays out.  A C-level executive facing organizational resistance to transformational change — and the self-judgment wiring underneath it   A newly appointed CEO whose hyper-rational baseline left his people feeling unseen and disengaged  A VP whose team wouldn't take ownership — until he saw how his own control and pleasing patterns were taking up all the space  A founder hitting a revenue ceiling, driven by hidden perfectionism and unworthiness beliefs  You'll also hear the real costs of leading from an unelevated baseline — in performance, in your people, in your own energy, and in the version of yourself that never gets to emerge — and why affirmations, mindset work, and skill-based leadership development alone aren't enough to shift it.  If you've been working harder, trying new strategies, and still hitting the same wall, this episode will help you see why the answer was never about doing more — it's about elevating the baseline you're leading from. 🔗 Ready to elevate your inner baseline ?  Join the 8 week Transformational Program - next cohort starts 11th June.New strategy.

Her credentials include multiple accredited coaching certifications, 200-hour yoga teacher training, and all three levels of the Wim Hof Method Academy, culminating in certified instructor status. She's high energy, people focused, and deeply committed to helping others live healthier, happier lives. One breath at a time. In this episode, you'll discover: → Why most people are unknowingly living in a chronic stress state (and a simple 1-minute test to find out where you are) → The difference between breathing and breathwork and why both matter → How breathwork boosts your immune system, expands lung capacity, and is directly linked to longevity → The key breathwork techniques for regulation, activation, and even subconscious reprogramming → How to use breathwork in everyday moments in traffic, before a big meeting, or to help your kids focus → Why one experience isn't enough — and the real key to making calm your new baseline Whether you're navigating business uncertainty, leading a team through change, or simply looking to find more composure in your daily life, this conversation will give you the awareness and the tools to start right now, for free.   🎧 Connect with Florine: Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/flowoflife_uae/ | IMD Breathwork UAE   About Dagmara Asbreuk: A certified Executive Transformational Partner and keynote speaker, and Founder of Extraordinary Leadership.

    Episode 68: From Armor to Authentic Power: The Power of Inner Work in Leadership

    The armor that protected you once is now the ceiling of your leadership and business. The most capable & ambitious leaders I work with share one pattern: somewhere between childhood and the C-suite, they built protection mechanisms so effective - they forgot they were wearing them. For most high-performing leaders, it sounded like: → "I need to be exceptional to be worthy." → "I need to control the environment to stay safe." → "I need to make everyone happy, or things fall apart." They worked. They got you here. But they're running your leadership on autopilot. And at the level you're operating at now - the stakes are too high for autopilot. And it creates additional pressure. What's on the other side is a different dimension of leadership. More clarity. More awareness. More aliveness. Less pressure. This is part of the work I do with leaders at this level. And it's not what spoken at the boardroom, or included in most leadership programs. In this episode, Dagmara Asbreuk — Transformational Executive Partner and Founder of Extraordinary Leadership ,  sits down with Nancy Zabaneh, senior Compassionate Inquiry® practitioner and transformational educator bringing 3 decades of experience, to explore what rarely makes it into boardroom conversations. Both bring depth and experience to the topic from their work. By the end of this episode you will: 1 What the coping mechanisms are that every leader has operating below the surface — and where they actually come from. 2 The specific armor patterns showing up in leadership, even at the highest level. 3 Understand what trauma actually is and why every high-achieving leader has a version of it quietly running their leadership on autopilot 4 What "leading from authentic power" actually looks like — beyond the buzzword. 5 Practical starting points for leaders who are ready to do the inner work — not just talk about it.   #Authentic #Leadership #TraumaInformedInnerWork #SomaticPractices #ExecutiveDevelopment #CompassionateInquiry #ConsciousLeadership #HighPerformance   About Dagmara Asbreuk: A certified Executive Transformational Partner and keynote speaker, and Founder of Extraordinary Leadership.

    Episode 67: Leading in Times of Change with Resilience

    The world outside is shaking. Markets shifting. Geopolitical noise. AI disruption. Constant uncertainty. And somewhere in the middle of all of it — you are still expected to lead. This episode is about what actually matters in those moments. Not strategy. Not crisis management frameworks. The one thing most leaders overlook entirely: the state from which they are leading. Because here is what I see. Most leaders are trying to navigate uncertainty from an inner operating system that is already dysregulated — tense, reactive, worried, disconnected from their vision — without even realising it. And from that state, even the best strategies fall flat. You duplicate the pressure rather than create the clarity people need from you. In this episode I share what I have come to know deeply — from my own practice, from working with C-suite leaders and founders across industries — about what it takes to not just survive these times, but lead through them with composure, confidence and possibility. What you will take from this episode: How to recognize which inner state you are leading from — and why it matters more than any external decision you make right now. The three things that matter most in leadership during uncertain times: your inner composure, your connection to vision, and your communication with people. Why staying connected to your vision is not a luxury in difficult moments — it is the very thing that restores your clarity and direction. What it means to lead from the future version of yourself — and how that energetic identity shapes every meeting, conversation and decision you walk into. The practice of the aligned state — beyond calm, this is energetic alignment with the leader you are here to be, and the reality you are here to create. Why the morning baseline most leaders start their day with is quietly shaping everything — their thinking, their decisions, and the energy they bring to the people around them. The question I leave you with: What would change for you — in your business, your team, your leadership — if you were able to lead right now from a grounded, calm, confident, visionary state, despite everything that is uncertain on the outside? The answer will tell you exactly what is available to you. And this episode will show you how to get there. 🔥 Ready to embody this at the deepest level?

Lead from who you truly are.  https://www.theextraordinaryleadership.com/ELEVATED-LEADER About Dagmara Asbreuk: A certified Executive Transformational Partner and keynote speaker, and Founder of Extraordinary Leadership.

    Episode 66: The 5 Leadership Shifts Every Leader Must Make in the AI Era

    AI is transforming technology.  But it’s also transforming leadership.  Every era redefines what leadership requires.   In the industrial era, leverage was intellectual.  Now — in the exponential AI era — the real leverage is shifting to Human intelligence. Emotional capacity. Consciousness.   Most leaders haven’t fully caught up to this shift yet.   And that gap is already visible — in how decisions are made, how teams respond, and how change is led.   In my latest podcast episode, I explore 5 leadership shifts that will determine which leaders thrive in the age of AI.   These come directly from my work with CEOs, executives, and founders navigating complexity and rapid change.   You will discover: — Why state mastery is now more important than ever — and why it comes before strategy — Why authority is shifting from knowledge to authentic inner identity — How to access exponential growth by leveraging both AI and human intelligence — Why & how leaders must become system orchestrators and catalysts of collective intelligence — How visionary leaders architect the future instead of reacting to it Thriving in the AI era is beyond learning AI solutions. It requires how you fundamentally think, decide, and show up as a leader. The leaders who embrace these shifts early will shape the future.   Want to be on a forefront embracing these shifts?
