Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert and founder of Real Love Revolution, Boundary Bootcamp and author of the upcoming book, Boundary Boss. This episode kicks off by exploring the ways in which the work Terri is leading has really led and developed her in profound ways, no matter how far you go in your leadership journey, new ventures will humble you and how boundaries are fundamental to leading yourself, others and your initiative.
Listen in while they talk about:
- How writing a book on how to be a boundary boss made Terri a more veritable boundary boss in the process, clearing out any remnants of her disease to please.
- The ongoing process to keep “talking true” at the top of your mind. How to work with the path of least resistance that inevitably creeps in.
- The challenge of being in the unknown when you’re a recovering control freak. When you’re normally masterful at things, the capacities that being in ‘new’ calls upon.
- Mastery can become golden handcuffs. The value of shedding entrenched identities , challenging ourselves and being vulnerable and that voluntary vulnerability is appropriate and healthy as a leader.
- Owning up to mistakes as a quality of leadership, and what that models to others who look to you for integrity and direction.
- Feedback, when and how to accept and integrate it and do so graciously versus when to not accept and integrate feedback.
- The importance of boundaries in leadership, if we don’t have sovereignty over how we’re leading ourselves, our intentions, desires and impulses, how can we lead others or bigger missions?
- High functioning codependency. It’s not the same negative vibe as codependency as commonly understood. How women who are so capable (over functioning, over giving, over doing) based on terrible boundaries end up exhausted and not having healthy relationships.
- A simple and powerful exercise on how to get unstuck with secondary gain.
