Episode 175 with Jennifer Mulholland & Jeff Shuck - Conscious Leadership & Leading with Light
On this episode we talk with Jennifer Mulholland & Jeff Shuck, leadership development strategists and executive coaches, and founders of Plenty Consulting
Jennifer and Jeff share their backgrounds in leadership, spirituality, and entrepreneurship. They founded Plenty to help people access their inner light and feel they have plenty within and around them.
Creating safe spaces through presence
Jennifer explains how dropping into presence allows deeper awareness of internal cues. This self-safety lets one offer safety to others through listening without judgment. Jeff likens presence to choosing one's perspective like opening curtains to see opportunities.
Conscious leadership through awareness, alignment, and intention
Jennifer defines conscious leadership as practicing awareness of cues, discerning alignment from them, then intentionally acting. Awareness comes from presence while alignment notes what expands or contracts one's light. Intention means deciding how to show up.
Trusting the flow of life through agency and surrender
Jeff likens life to floating down a river, using agency like a paddle but also surrendering to the current. We battle needlessly by resisting the flow. Insights come in relaxed openness, not through forcing solutions.
Allowing insights to emerge through unlearning
Distracting the thinking mind with new experiences allows unlearning old limiting beliefs. Like clearing windshield dirt, this opens to new understandings within. Jenn & Jeff's work helps recognize our inherent wisdom.
Shining your light from the inside out
Jennifer shares her insight that we need only let our inner light shine outward through presence. We emerge naturally from within, not through external work or achievement. Jeff affirms each person's inherent worth and the need for all lights in creating the future.
