Episode #44 - Spirituality In Business The Openness Of A Child And The Wisdom Of A Master The journey to openness, mastery and spirituality requires our ongoing emotional labor. It is very different from physical or intellectual labor. It requires us to practice moving through our fears rather than being controlled by them. When we find ourselves looking for a shortcut, an excuse or an easy way out, we are actually being controlled by our fear. You can start your journey by forming an emotional connection to what you want to achieve. The stronger this connection the more likely you will be to do the emotional labor of bring that vision into reality. This is the key to career, personal and corporate success. The accelerating rate of change has made emotional labor essential for openness and wisdom to occur. In this feature length episode Arthur Geringas and Phil Johnson explore tenets of the spirituality in business and how the MBL program explores being of service.

Episode #42 - Amygdala Hijack 2023 Cultivating Wisdom, The MBL Program We don’t know what we don’t know. Intelligence without wisdom is often quite destructive. Knowledge is not wisdom. The first step in cultivating wisdom is acknowledging the magnitude of what we do not know. The next step is to move out of our “thinking mind,” with its chronic judgments and interpretations, and step into the present moment by learning and practicing the habits needed to lower our walls. It is there that we connect with a much deeper level of awareness and intelligence. This process has proven to create inspirational leadership, emotional intelligence, higher consciousness, and freedom from our ego-based fears. The resulting creativity, trust, and engagement enables career, personal, and corporate success. We are developing the openness of a child but this time with the wisdom of a master. A growing number of us are making the essential transition from believing to knowing. Feature length episode where Phil Johnson and Arthur Geringas discuss navigating the anxious moments that happen when amygdala hijacks sieze our lives and how they affect our personal and business relationships.

MBL Minute: The Beginner's Mind And I Am Episode Notes The Beginner's Mind Sometimes our thinking mind and what we believe to know to be true prevents us from seeing things as they really are. A beginner’s mind is present, focused and lacking any judgment. It is to be curious about everything. Having a beginners mind helps us to learn and grow. It enables us to get past old, pre-conceived ideas of people and situations. It strengthens our belief in our self. It help us to be honest with our self and others. I Am I am not what I am going to do or what I have already done. I am a unique vibrational energy that is conscious, connected, timeless and eternal. I AM. I just am. Diminishing our ego enables our humanity to shine through. Our physical body is ruled by our largely unconscious egos. Ego is focused on labels, beliefs, accumulating possessions, roles and thoughts. It wants something to be different than it is and is focused on past or future, never on the reality of the present moment.
