Powerful leaders know how to shift the moods of teams, organizations, and countries.
But first, they need to observe their own moods.
But what exactly is a mood? And why is it so central to action?
To explore these questions, I spoke recently with Alan Sieler, founder of the Newfield Institute and author of the brilliant three-part book series, Coaching to the Human Soul.
Our conversation was both serious and lighthearted–often at the same time. By the end, I felt so in synch with Alan and his message that I was ready to get named an honorary Aussie.
Check it out–and share with your friends.
