  • Embracing Intuition

    I was completely captivated by Eveline’s story of discovering her intuition and how she now works with the people in her groups. Love your provocative question about the mantra for your life. I look forward to hearing more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

154.Margaret Heffernan: Why Great Leadership Needs Friction, Doubt and Better Questions
Q: So how important is time?
She says time is essential, especially for significant decisions. Pauses and cooling-off periods let people consider different perspectives and risks, while pressure to move fast can reinforce old habits and weaken creativity.
155.Mario Haberfeld: Conservation, Courage and the Jaguar Rivers Initiative
Q: What would you offer for somebody who's got passion, who's got drive, who sees that they need to make a difference in the world, but they don't know where to start?
He recommends being willing to change, admitting what one does not know, learning as much as possible, accepting setbacks and putting knowledgeable people in the right roles. Persistence and commitment to a meaningful goal can help people overcome obstacles.
154.Margaret Heffernan: Why Great Leadership Needs Friction, Doubt and Better Questions
Q: What do you think is the role of inspiration, Margaret? Is it easy comfortableness, or does it have to be some sort of friction within it?
Heffernan says inspiration needs some friction and doubt, because organizations can go badly wrong when people do not challenge ideas. Inspiration can trigger new ways of thinking, but is rarely an answer by itself.
155.Mario Haberfeld: Conservation, Courage and the Jaguar Rivers Initiative
Q: What caused you to make that switch?
Haberfeld says wildlife and motorsport were lifelong passions, but racing came first because it required youth. After retiring in 2008, he took a two-year trip to study conservation projects around the world and concluded that ecotourism focused on big cats could help protect Brazilian wildlife.
156. Kristy Halvorsen: Trusting the Unknown - Living Life Without a Map
Q: What practical things do you do just to ensure that you feel safe in the environment that you're going into?
She stays present, listens to her intuition, and leaves if somewhere feels wrong. She says imagining frightening scenarios is unhelpful and that she has often encountered kind, caring people on her travels.
