321 - Resting in Complexity: The Inner Work of Modern Leadership with Marco Valente

How do we host ourselves as facilitators – and how do we host others? How do we grow bigger minds to meet the complexity out there, and then rest in it without needing to know the answers?

Marco Valente joins me for a big, juicy and mind-opening conversation as we navigate the inner workings of the growing self – and the leader – to better understand the messy, unpredictable complexities of our world. It’s about walking up to our mind’s balcony in search of self-awareness and inner presence, it’s about getting vulnerable in our wrongness, and getting comfortable with the unknown.

Marco shares his thoughts, leadership advice and hosting tips with beautiful eloquence and I invite every leader, facilitator and sense-maker to press play to this wonderful episode.

Find out about:

• The mind trap of identity, ego and feedback
• The evolutionary pulls of fear - how much helps or hinders us?
• Why KPIs can harm the collective, rather than help with long-term growth
• The paradox of learning more facilitation methods, in order to detach ourselves from them 
• The balancing act of structure and emergence to accurately address group needs
