THE TENSION PODCAST
Every week, we explore big questions, delve into intricate complexities, and challenge the status quo. We look at the world from different angles, and invite our guests to do the same.
The Tension Podcast is a melting pot of ideas, the fulcrum of opposing viewpoints, and a tribute to the power of thought. Here, we dive deep into the minds of integrative thinkers and the leaders that dare to walk the tightrope of contradiction. They are the brave few, striving to shape the world, and refusing to simply accept it.
Too often our minds are trapped into believing all reality must be forced into the forced dichotomy of “either/or.”
What if there’s a new framework for approaching the world that both opens up the world to new possibilities and allows us to hold ideas in a beautiful tension?

MY LEADERSHIP STYLE
I seek to follow the style of the Conscious Leader, leaning into the tension of strong leadership and clear decision making while remaining relationally and human-focused. Conscious leadership refers to guiding others with full awareness of the self (both yourself and others) and cultivating growth in organizations by supporting the people in those organizations. Instead of an ego-centric ‘me’ attitude, a conscious leader embodies all aspects of an inclusive ‘we’ approach.
