What if true leadership begins with following your heart β not your strategy?
In this Leadership Circle co-creation, Jeannette Meier sits down with Andrew James Gregor β architect, author, and cross-cultural leader β to explore the connection between presence, compassion, and the human experience. From growing up in Beirut and traveling between war zones to nearly losing everything in the 2008 financial crisis, Andrew's journey is a masterclass in resilience, perception, and heart intelligence.
He shares why focus is the most underrated leadership practice, why the heart's intelligence dwarfs the brain's, and what writing his book β 12 Hours in the Life of a Homeless Man β taught him about seeing humans as humans.
This is for High-Resonance Visionaries who are ready to stop leading from the head β and start leading from the heart.

You think you're leading. But what if you're only 5% conscious when you do? In this heart-to-heart co-creation, Jeannette Meier sits down with Phil Johnson β executive coach, mentor, and 57-year student of the human potential β to explore the one thing quietly eroding leadership, relationships, and business results: the absence of presence.
Phil and Jeannette unpack why ego-based fears pull us out of the present moment, why Gallup estimates this costs the global economy over $9 trillion every year β and what it actually takes to become more conscious, more present, and more powerful as a leader and a human being. This isn't a leadership interview. It's a transmission.
β¨ In this co-creation, you'll discover:
β Why we're only 3β5% conscious β and how to change that
β The difference between reacting from fear and responding from presence
β How emotional contagion shapes every room you walk into
β Why the Trust Economy ($10 trillion/year) runs on presence β not performance
β How Apple built a $4 trillion company on emotional intelligence
β The leap of faith that separates those who evolve from those who stay stuck
β Marianne Williamson's "My Deepest Fear" β and why it's the most important thing you'll hear today
For the High-Resonance Visionary who is ready to stop reacting and start leading from the inside out.

What if the secret to great leadership isn't control β it's love and curiosity?
In this co-creation, Jeannette Meier sits down with Daniel Atlin β educator, executive, and sensemaking researcher β to explore why the most powerful leaders are the ones who embrace the mess. Daniel shares how 30 years inside complex organizations taught him that leadership isn't about having answers. It's about being present, staying curious, and letting communities co-create together.
From the "magic coin" of love and curiosity to the concept of communityship over leadership β this conversation is a transmission for High-Resonance Visionaries ready to stop performing authority and start leading from the inside out.

"I lost my worry. It was just gone. And I thought β this is really good. I should teach people this." β Aaron Hendon
Most high-resonance leaders are playing a game they can never win: get enough, then be happy. Aaron Hendon spent decades in business before a single retreat in Napa Valley broke the spell. That quiet moment of clarity became his life's mission β dismantling hustle culture and showing leaders that presence isn't the enemy of performance. It's the source of it.
In this 46-minute co-creation, Jeannette Meier and Aaron Hendon β the Mindful CEO β go deep on what it actually means to lead, create, and perform from a state of being rather than doing.
What you'll discover:
βWhy hustle culture is organized around keeping you dissatisfied β and how to opt out
βHow Aaron's worry disappeared after becoming a mindfulness instructor (and what that means for your performance)
βThe critical difference between co-creation and collaboration β and why only one of them is sustainable
βThe "bird" metaphor: how to hold your intentions loosely enough to actually fulfill them
βThe dance of co-creation: moving toward a shared vision without knowing the steps in advance
β"The only chance you have at being present is to notice that you're not" β the most important practice in the episode
About Aaron Hendon:
The Mindful CEO. Entrepreneur, meditation teacher, and Landmark Education facilitator with 30 years of transformational work. On a mission to give leaders room to breathe β and prove that satisfaction and performance aren't opposites.

Vulnerability is the cornerstone of our strength." β Lisa Arrigo
Most high-resonance leaders have spent their lives performing competence. Hiding the messy parts. Quietly wondering why, despite all the success, something still feels hollow. The answer isn't doing more β it's finally allowing yourself to be seen.
In this 50-minute co-creation, Jeannette Meier and psychotherapist Lisa Arrigo go deep on what vulnerability in leadership actually looks like β not the performative kind, but the real thing. The kind that heals shame, rewires the brain, and makes genuine co-creation possible.
What you'll discover:
β Why vulnerability is the pathway to your deepest strength β not a liability
β How childhood shame gets wired into the body (and how to start unwiring it)
β The neuroscience of real change: what neuroplasticity actually means in practice
β Why trauma does not know time β and how that shows up in your leadership
β The "mirror effect" of true co-creation β why being fully seen changes everything
About Lisa Arrigo:
Psychotherapist, healer, and author of Fall Risk (forthcoming). Lisa specializes in trauma, addiction recovery, and helping people rewrite the narratives that keep them stuck.

Everything you're searching for outside yourself is already inside you.
The problem? Most high achievers have spent a lifetime building the outside β the titles, the results, the performance β and completely forgotten how to live from within.
Valentin Randon is a researcher, author, and guide in consciousness exploration who works with the Monroe Institute to help people access direct experiences of being more than their physical body. In this 47-minute co-creation, we explore the inner world as the ultimate leadership edge β and why the most transformative shift available to you isn't another strategy, system, or sprint. It's a return to yourself.
What this conversation opens up for you:
Why a heart-to-heart connection creates a different kind of fuel than any solo practice
The "inside out" principle: how what you project outward is always a reflection of your internal state
Pain vs. suffering β why growth doesn't require darkness, and how to expand without breaking
The observer mode lets leaders navigate the hardest moments without depleting their energy
What the Monroe Institute's consciousness research reveals about who you really are beyond this life
How to stop your children (and yourself) from forgetting the inner world they were born knowing
The inner world isn't a retreat from leadership. It's where real leadership begins.

AI can calculate. It can generate. It can simulate.
But it cannot be you.
And in a world racing to automate everything, that distinction β your uniqueness, your humanity, your capacity for real connection β isn't a soft advantage. It's your most powerful strategic asset.
Christopher Sigmond has spent nearly 30 years on the inner journey. A philosophical companion, explorer, and researcher in human uniqueness, Christopher brings a rare perspective to one of the most pressing questions of our time: as AI becomes more capable, what does it mean to be unmistakably, irreplaceably human?
In this 41-minute co-creation, we explore the line between algorithm and consciousness β and why high achievers are the most at risk of giving their power away to the machine.
What this conversation will shift for you:
Why AI can never have inner wisdom, embodiment, or the felt sense that makes you irreplaceable
How our obsession with measuring β money, status, achievement β is a polarizing trap that limits human connection
What "human uniqueness" actually means: it's not about being different, it's about being undeniably yourself
The philosophy of the "philosophical companion" β and why the most powerful leadership conversations are shared explorations, not transactions
Why co-creation requires presence, equality, and genuine curiosity β and why no algorithm will ever replicate that
The machines are getting smarter. The answer isn't to compete β it's to become more fully human.

Most leaders are leading with everything except the one thing that actually moves people.
Not a strategy. Not systems. Not even vision.
Love.
Not soft love. Not passive love. The kind of love that sees people clearly, holds them fully accountable, and creates the conditions for them to become more than they thought possible. That's what Owen Burns calls The Love Switch β and in this conversation, we explore exactly what it means to flip it.
Owen Burns is a leadership coach and founder of Burns Bright Consulting. He's spent years helping high-achieving leaders discover that the shift from fear-based to love-based leadership isn't a vulnerability β it's their greatest strategic advantage.
What this 51-minute conversation will shift for you:
β What "The Love Switch" actually is β and how most leaders never even find the switch
β Why leading from fear is the default for high achievers, and the hidden cost it's extracting
β How love-based leadership creates performance outcomes that fear-based leadership never can
β The internal work required to flip the switch β and why it has nothing to do with being "nice"
β What it looks like, in practice, to lead a team with love and still hold the line
The highest-performing leaders don't choose between results and heart. They've learned to lead from both.

Most high achievers want to say yes. Fear keeps them saying "let me think about it" β until the window closes.
Alasdair Cunningham has built multiple businesses from zero, spoken to 4,000 people in Vietnam, and is heading to Ferrari's headquarters and LA this year. Every single opportunity started with one word: yes. Even when he had no idea how he'd follow through.
In this Leadership Circle conversation, serial entrepreneur and mindset coach Alasdair Cunningham unpacks the fear-driven engine behind real innovation β and why the most dangerous thing a high achiever can do is wait until they're ready.
What you'll walk away with:
Why fear of going backward is the most powerful fuel for going forward β and how to use it intentionally
The bungee jump truth: why the best moments in life live on the other side of fear
The one-step method that turned a chance meeting into 8 trips to Vietnam and two global speaking stages
Why negative energy in your team is a leadership crisis β not a management problem
The difference between heart and feelings (and why Alasdair's "logical brain" actually leads with heart)
What AI really is β and why the humans who learn to use it will dominate the next decade
You weren't built for normal. The question is: are you saying yes to what's next?

Most boards claim to operate with integrity. Dawn Stallwood asks one question β and the room goes quiet.
What does integrity actually mean? Not codes of conduct. Not policies. Dawn's answer β rooted in the Latin integer, meaning wholeness β will challenge every leader watching this.
In this Leadership Circle conversation, Dawn Stallwood (M&A lawyer, leadership consultant, and author of the Beautiful Leadership framework) shares what it truly takes to lead with impact, without losing yourself in the process.
What you'll walk away with:
β The "integer" definition of integrity β and why silos, turf wars, and self-interest are integrity failures, not management problems
βWhy 80%+ of senior leaders feel secretly unprepared for their roles β and what that costs their teams
βThe Beautiful Leadership framework: 9 qualities and 10 practices for transformative, sustainable leadership
βThe question every leader needs to ask themselves: "How would I experience my own leadership if I were on the receiving end?"
βWhy younger generations are refusing leadership roles β and what beautiful leaders must model to change that
Leadership isn't about power. It's about influence, service, and the courage to stand in the gap β even when it's uncomfortable.

High achievers don't just perfect their work. They perfect their bodies β and it's quietly destroying them.
Brian Baumal has seen it hundreds of times in his therapy practice: the driven professional who abandons their entire health plan the moment they eat one "wrong" meal. That's not a discipline problem. That's a shame loop β and it runs on the same circuitry as your perfectionism at work, in leadership, and in life.
In this Leadership Circle conversation, psychotherapist Brian Baumal unpacks the hidden mechanics of perfectionism, shame, and sustainable change through the lens of health, food, and self-sabotage.
What you'll walk away with:
The shame β quick results β perfectionism β failure equation β and how to break it for good
Why wanting results fast is the root of every failed diet (and every burned-out leader)
What GLP-1 weight loss medications can and cannot do β and why psychology must come first
The health-centered approach: tracking without judgment beats every prescription
How inside-out living ends the war with your body β and frees up your performance
You can't lead others from a body you're silently punishing. This is the conversation most high achievers never have.

Most leaders are looking in the wrong direction. Weβre trained to hunt for external solutions β more strategy, better systems, higher performance metrics. But the most sophisticated diagnostic tool you have isnβt out there. Itβs the one inside you.
In this co-creation session with Dawn Stallwood, we go deep on why true leadership isn't about managing others β itβs about mastering the "source code" of your own connection. If you aren't connected to yourself, your leadership will always have a ceiling.
You'll discover:
β Why "self-reflection" is the high-performer's most underrated competitive advantage
β How to move from performing success to actually experiencing it from the inside out
β The "Source Code" of leadership: why your external results are just a printout of your internal state
β How Dawn integrates deep introspection with high-level leadership presence
β Why high achievers often use "busy-ness" as a shield against the very connection they need
β The radical shift from seeking answers to becoming the answer
Leadership isn't what you do. It's who you are when you do it.

The most driven leaders in any room are often the worst at celebrating. Not because they don't care. Because they were never taught that celebration is a leadership skill β not a reward.
High achievers are conditioned to push through, optimize forward, and move on. Celebration feels inefficient. Indulgent. Maybe even risky β like it might soften the edge that got you here. But what if that instinct is quietly eroding the one thing heart-centered leadership actually requires: real connection?
In this conversation, Evan Cudworth β known as "the party coach" β and I explore what high-achieving leaders get fundamentally wrong about joy, celebration, and co-creation. And why the leaders who learn to celebrate together lead the most cohesive, committed, and energized teams. This is the co-creation skill most leadership programs skip entirely. And it might be the most human one.
You'll explore:
β Why high performers instinctively resist celebration β and what it costs them
β How joy and connection function as a heart leadership strategy, not a perk
β What co-creation actually looks like when leaders stop performing and start celebrating
If success has started to feel like a performance you can't step out of β this conversation is for you.
