Welcome to The Executive Shaman Podcast. Here, Executive Shaman Dr. Krystal White and other Thought Leaders chat for 30-minute about all things related to transformational leadership. Listen in to be entertained, educated and engaged by the real-life (often imperfect) application of leadership models, evidence-based research, and innovative ideas. This is a time in human history that demands more of us. We need to bring more of our true selves into every aspect of our lives. In particular, our professions need our souls present. We’re on a journey, and invite you along.

Episode 60: Start to Consciously Check In

Jun 19 2020 37 mins

When something works for you, when it feels good and aligned with your goals and values, you need to name it, claim it and sustain it. One of those things in my life is Check In. I not only tell people about the process (name it), I reap benefits when I do the process (claim it), and I do the process often (sustain it). All disciplines require these three components, and believe me

Episode 59: Start to Retreat

Jun 03 2020 36 mins

“Let’s be honest about our modern-day social lives. Busyness, overstimulation, automation, pressure to produce and disconnection run rampant in our adult routines. We are saturated in experiences of being partially present, moderately engaged, or half-heartedly committed. We are so focused on getting things done, exchanging information, or making decisions, that it’s hard to

Episode 58: Start To Think for Yourself

May 20 2020 36 mins

What or who has the most influence on how you think -about your money -about your looks -about your health -about your intimate relationship -about your future Maybe you don’t think about yourself as much as you consider your children, your partner, other family members or your colleagues or supervisors, or your local/global groups. Apply the same questions to those people

Episode 57: Stop faking it

Mar 26 2020 41 mins

We've all faked something, at some point, in a relationship, social setting or work. Mostly, a lot of us have faked things to ourselves. Stacey and I aren't talking about doing something you're committed to but don't really get/like at the beginning. We're talking about the level of deception where we are out of alignment with our own inherent "truth." Appearances are important onl

Be Present, Slow Down, & Grow Up

Mar 21 2020 10 mins

We are a culture always on the go. Many of us have resisted slowness and being at home for a long time. The average person in the US commutes 26 mins each way to work each day. That comprises NINE full days each year. For myself, I've chosen mobility and multi-focus for the better part of the last decade. Those 5 am wake up calls to teach spin used to fuel me. I boasted in The Lett

Episode 56: Start to Stand Up for Something

Mar 20 2020 36 mins

We can create wellness and growth in this season of a LOT OF CHAOS! Our thoughts are just as contagious as our germs are...and so are the beliefs of what we stand for. Where do you want to see change the most right now? What needs to be dismantled, re-modeled, or re-committed to? We all will be reactive and stressed in the upcoming weeks. That's ok. After we react, we can move towa

Episode 55: Start to Help Others Take Risks

Feb 26 2020 35 mins

The adult brain has a lot of built in systems to reduce and avoid risk taking. Our beautiful emotional systems go on high alert when we sense risk and activate our controlled logic system. Simply: our minds “talk us out of” risky behaviors. Our higher mind, however, understands that we get better results when we behave in “non-standard” (aka risky!) ways. Pauline and Krysta

Episode 54: Stop Trying to Balance it All

Feb 18 2020 34 mins

The myth that we can “achieve balance” leads to burn out, inauthentic posturing and perfectionistic individualism. Leaders, especially senior and executive leaders, must stop passing along the message that staff need to “balance their work with their lives.” Given that many people willfully and happily devote their significant contribution to “work”, this message just d

Episode 53: Start Using Words Powerfully

Feb 06 2020 35 mins

On Average, an adult uses over 7000 words a day. When is the last time someone said something to you at work and your attention peaked, your heart clapped or your body leaned forward? I’m sure you can easily think of a meeting where nothing one person shared was memorable. The discipline we’d like to focus more on this month is improving the competent and consistent use of la

Episode 51: What's it all about? Start & Stop in Season 2

Jan 20 2020 4 mins

We are in a season of great opportunity, and also uncertainty. Most of us function out of survival, success or transformation. In the course of a single day, we move in and out of each state. We are defensive or overly appeasing, we work to earn recognition or stability, or we guide ourselves and others to grow. Season 2 is all about what ACTIONS you can do or avoid to operate from
