The Transformational Leader

We can't identify our own blindspots. We may have tried to explore it but let's admit it, we can't see what we're blinded to so we have to let go of that belief that we can do it all by ourselves. As a sequel to last week's episode, I'll discuss what you can do to discover your blindspots and why you should be responsible for them. We'll continue our conversation on blindspots as I'll share how your blindspot will impact everything around you - your leadership, team, and the work's culture and environment. I'll also unpack the notion of blindspots colluding with each other so listen and don't miss the opportunity to transform yourselves as better leaders!

On this week's mid-week episode, Adam Quiney sits down with his friend, Forge alumna, and Member of Parliament for Victoria, Laurel Collins, to explore leadership, transformation, and what's happening beneath the surface of politics. Together, they examine how breakthroughs occur in complex systems, what authentic leadership looks like inside government, and the deeper forces that shape political decision-making beyond policies, headlines, and public debate. Rather than focusing on politics as a game of strategy or ideology, Adam and Laurel explore the human side of leadership and the possibilities that emerge when leaders are willing to challenge assumptions, embrace uncertainty, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

On this week's mid-week episode, Adam Quiney explores the deeper pattern underneath what so many leaders are searching for right now. This conversation moves beyond the constant hunt for better tactics, stronger communication frameworks, and more polished confidence strategies, and into what may actually be driving that search in the first place. Adam looks at four conversations that continue surfacing inside leadership circles and unpacks what sits underneath each of them. What emerges is not a discussion about missing skills, but a deeper exploration of what happens when leadership becomes overly focused on performance, certainty, and getting it right. At a time when turbulence, pressure, and rapid change are pushing leaders to adapt faster than ever, many are still approaching leadership as something to optimize externally rather than develop internally. As with all of Adam's live shows, this episode isn't scripted or polished - it unfolds in real time. It's a space where ideas are explored as they arise, assumptions are questioned, and the deeper dynamics shaping leadership begin to come into view. Join Adam for a grounded, in-the-moment conversation about why the search for the "right" leadership skill may actually be keeping leaders stuck, and what starts to shift when a different level of awareness enters the conversation.

On this week's mid-week episode, Adam Quiney explores the deeper layer underneath the leadership challenges so many people are navigating right now. This conversation moves beyond surface-level fixes and into what's actually driving the patterns leaders find themselves in - where teams know what to do but don't follow through, where conversations happen but the full truth isn't being said, and where it can start to feel like the answer is simply finding better people. Adam opens up a space to look at what sits beneath those experiences, especially at a time when AI is beginning to expose the gaps between performance and real development. It's an honest exploration of what happens when leaders have spent years getting better at doing, without ever fully developing how they lead. As with all of Adam's live shows, this episode isn't scripted or polished -it unfolds in real time. It's a space where ideas are explored as they arise, assumptions are questioned, and a deeper understanding of leadership begins to take shape. Join Adam for a grounded, in-the-moment conversation about what may actually be at the root of leadership challenges, and what starts to shift when that level is brought into view.

You can be surrounded by people who genuinely like you, enjoy talking to you, and would do anything for you, and still feel completely alone. Not because no one cares, but because no one can get to you. This conversation goes beyond the cliché of "it's lonely at the top." Instead, Adam looks at the deeper structure underneath the surface. Listen and enjoy!

On this week's mid-week episode, Adam Quiney is joined by special guest Hanna Bauer, CEO and founder of Heartnomics, for a live conversation exploring leadership, transformation, and the deeper work behind real breakthroughs. Hannah shares elements of her personal and professional journey, and together they dig into the inflection points that shaped her path - not just what changed, but what had to be let go of for change to occur. The conversation is reflective, grounded, and alive with inquiry, with Hannah bringing openness, radiance, and a willingness to explore the less-visible aspects of growth. Adam leans in with curiosity, interrupting when needed to uncover the subtle dynamics beneath the breakthrough moments. Adam shares why he appreciated Hannah's readiness to engage at this level and invites you into a thoughtful, unscripted dialogue on what leadership and transformation truly require.

On this week's mid-week episode, Adam Quiney takes an unscripted, solo turn after a last-minute guest cancellation and uses the space to explore what's been alive for him around spaciousness, restlessness, and the subtle ways we avoid being with ourselves. What begins as a riff opens into a deeper inquiry into boredom, meditation, and how productivity can quietly become a strategy for escape rather than effectiveness. Adam reflects on his current practice of creating more space in his life, what tends to get in the way, and what this work asks of him as a leader. He also explores how patterns and habits actually shift — not through force or willpower, but through awareness, systems, and allowing what's subconscious to come into view. Adam closes with a powerful distinction between creating results and creating the clearing in which results can show up, inviting you into a thoughtful, unscripted exploration of leadership from the inside out.
