How do your past wounds impact your leadership? Many leaders are carrying core wounds from childhood into their professional experiences, and one modality to unwind those wounds is through Ayahuasca; go to The Enlightened Executive blog post [link here] to hear more about it. Ayahuasca is a psychoactive brew from two vines found in the rainforest. A shaman who is experienced in working with this psychedelic guides you through your “journey,” which lasts around 10-12 hours. Many say that ayahuasca allows you to take a journey of self-awareness and enlightenment: it especially enables you to deal with trauma.  Ayahuasca is a tool that anyone could benefit from, and executives are no exception. These types of retreats provide the opportunity for leaders to heal their childhood wounds so they don’t continue to play them out in the workplace..

A “face reader,” someone skilled in dissecting the details of our expressions, can help decipher people’s true motivations and intentions. To some degree, we all use face reading every day in our interactions with people. We call it reading body language. But the face can tell us so much about what a person is thinking, feeling, and wanting, and this can be useful in hiring, identifying problems with team dynamics, and negotiations. Want to find out more about the ancient skill of face reading? Check out the latest episode of The Enlightened Executive: http://EnlightenedExec.com/ep005

Did you know that every company is an extension of its leader?   Many parts of your personality and past experiences show up in your organization in ways you cannot even imagine. This manifestation can lead to different problems, but the most surprising aspect of this mechanism is that you may not even realize that you are the cause of it.   The EQ Profile is designed to help you bring light to those blind spots. It is an instrument that provides a snapshot of your internal experience, especially when you are under stress.    This method is different from all the other personality tests you may know. It does not simply ask you to share your emotional strengths and weaknesses and use them to elaborate generic feedback; instead, it presents you with mock emotional situations, and your responses to those stimuli will be the key to unravel your blind spots.   Learn more about the EQ Profile in this episode of The Enlightened Executive: http://EnlightenedExec.com/ep004
