Most of us shy away from leadership because we fear discomfort and responsibility. But doing so robs us of the key to our success and personal growth.
So what exactly makes GREAT leader?
In this week's Unstoppable, I'm joined by Leadership Futurist - Avril Henry who coaches us on how to really elevate your self-leadership to take to the next level on your personal development pathway.
Avril is the Founder of AHAA! management consultancy firm, author of multiple best-selling books and has received many awards including AFR Westpac's 100 Women of Influence! Don't miss it!
This is one of the most exciting and most unique podcasts I've done on Unstoppable. If you want to bring on a new experience and explore one of my favorite topics - psychedelics - then listen on.
We have Neurobiologist, Chemical Pharmacologist, and Writer on Psychedelic Drugs, Dr. Andrew Gallimore on the show. His research focuses mostly on N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or the more common name, DMT.
This is because DMT is something that could just be the secret element to revealing the structures of our reality, improve our understandings of the universe, access other dimensions, and even have potential therapeutic uses.
This is Unstoppable from a completely different level. Check it out and enjoy the trip!
