Secrets of Transformation Revealed with Julio Olalla

On "Inside-Out Career Design" this week, hosts Nicola Vetter & Peter Axtell speak with Julio Olalla about secrets of transformation revealed.
Tune into this conversation with our friend and teacher Julio Olalla, who is the visionary founder and president of the Newfield Network School of Ontological Coaching that we went to. The secret of transformation is what so many of us are longing for. Julio teaches about the power of language and how it can create transformation. By realizing how you view yourself and others, you realize most of your assumptions are wrong, and in that realization lies freedom.
 
In our conversation, we talk about…
the collective challenges we face and how the crisis of our modern age leads to a collapse of a worldview of modernity,
why breaking our unconscious assumptions that are at the core of everything we do is liberating,
how wisdom is completely different from knowledge,
how you can shift the observer you are to see a very different world that makes room for magic to happen,
how escaping the negative imprints from our family history can help us shift the observer we are to create a new and sustainable future,
what true love means,
and a profound lesson about gratitude that he learned from his father.

The Art of Staying True to Your Authentic Path with Linh Nguyen

On "Inside-Out Career Design" this week, hosts Nicola Vetter & Peter Axtell speak with Linh Nguyen

why visualizing your North Star is a powerful way to put that image in your mind,

From Lost Job to New Opportunity with Taylor Harrington

On "Inside-Out Career Design" this week, hosts Nicola Vetter & Peter Axtell speak with Taylor Harrington
Are you willing to show up again and again and do the hard work, not just winging it?
Do you believe that helping others succeed with no strings attached will make this world a better place? Taylor Harrington is wise beyond her years. At 26, she is curious, intelligent, inspiring, and enthusiastic. Her willingness to show up, talk to people, create community and be bold landed her a job with the legendary Seth Godin that led to personal meetings with other inspiring leaders like Simon Sinek. But then she lost her dream job two years later and had to regroup. It’s an inspiration for all.
 
In our conversation we talk about…
how she not only figured out what’s next but how to put it into words in a clear and meaningful way,
how she applied for a job with Seth Godin when he had already hired someone else but then was so taken with Taylor that he hired her anyway,
how out of the blue she lost her dream job and then created another dream job,
how writing down aha moments and then reflecting on them helped her figure out what’s next and then acting on that,
why surrounding yourself with people who want to see and help you succeed is critical,
and why having a clear vision (a North Star) and being able to articulate that to others is so important.

Extraordinary lessons from an ordinary woman are what you'll find in this podcast episode. Geni is a shining example of how you don't have to have special talent to write a book, give a TEDx talk, become a well-paid professional, or even be a stand-up comedian to further your message and make an impact in the world.

She is the voice for ordinary people with the tenacity, willingness, and persistence to embrace their unique being and use that to their advantage.
