Conscious Writing, Living and Leadership Julia McCutchen

Mike Dooley is a New York Times bestselling author, writer of the Notes from the Universe inspirational emails, a wildly successful entrepreneur, and co-founder of The Universe Talks Adventurer’s Club with over 800,000 members worldwide.

I’ve known Mike for over 20 years and it’s always inspiring to speak with him as he has such a positive and empowering message which he shares so enthusiastically from the depths of his heart and soul.

Yet he knows only too well how challenging life can be and understands from personal experience what’s involved with making conscious choices to transform your situation from stress and struggle to freedom and flow.

In our dialogue we discuss:

* How Mike shifted his worldview from seeing life as hard to embracing it as a playful adventure that transforms problems into opportunities to rise above challenges by becoming more of who you truly are.

* The significance of paying attention to where you place your focus to experience the reality that everything has meaning and you’re already far more successful than you give yourself credit for.

* The maxim “thoughts become things” as the unfolding path from ideas to words and actions that enable you to realize your vision of what’s truly important in all areas of your life and work.

* Questions to ask yourself and tools to use to untangle the wires and set yourself free from limiting patterns of conditioned thought and behaviour.

* The greenlight to move toward your dreams through dancing with fear and the two keys you need to live a life of meaning and purpose.

Lynne Franks OBE is a PR legend, entrepreneur, teacher and author who is recognized as a visionary and trailblazer working at the leading edge of areas including social change, corporate responsibility and women’s empowerment.

Her international best-seller, The SEED Handbook celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2020 with the launch of SEED 20.20, an on-line community for like-minded women to work together, support each other and grow into their full potential.

I first met Lynne in 2012 when we were both leading workshops at an event in London that was organized by Psychologies magazine. I remember it clearly because a few days before I’d broken a bone in my foot so I was hobbling around on crutches with my lower leg in plaster yet fully committed to showing up to lead my Creating in the Moment session!

It struck me how our respective workshops were quite different yet with an underlying resonance, and this became the foundation for my connection with Lynne which continues to develop all these years later.

In our dialogue we discuss:

* How the lineage of a strong matriarchal line in Lynne’s family led her to start her own business at 21 years old with celebrated designer Katharine Hamnett as her first client and grow the business to be the most high-profile PR agency in the UK.

* The prompt for Lynne to follow her heart, write The SEED Handbook and ultimately start a movement which empowered women to set up small businesses that were values led, sustainable, and based on collaboration and co-operation.

* Why women so often feel challenged by low self-confidence and self-belief, and how to strengthen these qualities to step into their true power as creative visionaries and leaders who inspire others.

* The lessons learnt from championing women in business, prisons, African villages and more… to support the development of a new breed of leaders who live and work with integrity, authenticity, transparency and love.

* How the Power of Seven archetypes – Seed Sower, Alchemist, Storyteller, Medicine Woman, Sky Dancer, Space-weaver and Wisdom Keeper – reveal a new way forwards for individual and global change and transformation.

Marc Lesser is a CEO, Zen teacher, and author who leads trainings and talks worldwide. Shortly after completing his MBA, he was invited to help develop the celebrated Search Inside Yourself program at Google which introduced thousands of Google engineers to the benefits of mindfulness.

Marc went on to serve as CEO and co-founder of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute and currently leads mindfulness and emotional intelligence programs at many of the world’s leading organizations.

I love the way that Marc has brought mindfulness practices such as developing awareness and effective listening, strengthening curiosity and compassion so successfully into business and leadership.

In our dialogue we discuss:

* Marc’s journey from running a Zen monastery kitchen to teaching mindfulness at Google following the realization that although he was a Zen student he was also managing a business and involved in leadership.

* How we’re all leaders because leadership is fundamentally about influence and becoming aware of how we influence and are influenced by others as we work together to create positive change and move towards a shared vision.

* The essence of mindfulness and how it leads to developing awareness, effective listening, emotional intelligence, curiosity and compassion, not just for business success but also in relation to the future of humanity.

* The significance of searching and finding, and how to develop the courage to let go in order to untangle the tangles of stories we tell ourselves to explore deeper levels of understanding and creative insight.

* The seven practices as a roadmap for leadership and for life culminating in Practice #7: Keep Making it Simpler which enables us to avoid distractions and examine what we truly care about in the depths of our heart.
