A gradient is the steepness with which we confront you and present whatever work there is for you to do. It’s like going into a gym and picking up a 6,000-pound weight. That rate is going to be a high gradient for your muscles to adapt to, while a low-pound weight might be too low of a gradient. In transformational work, we seek to find the gradient that is going to support you.
In this thought-provoking episode, Adam Quiney explores the trap of the high gradient—the often misguided belief that transformation must be intense, difficult, or dramatic to be effective. Listen and enjoy the show! -
An ontological leader can bring the being of a leader to whatever they are doing. One of the things that an ontological leader does is to perpetually be at choice for what is happening.
What we mean by we are choice is that we are choosing what is going on, which allows us to be empowered by what we are up to.
In this episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney dives into the profound concept of choice and its role in authentic leadership. He distinguishes between traditional, circumstantial thinking and a deeper ontological approach, where leadership is about who you are being, not just what you are doing. Enjoy the show!

Just listen.

Humans are incredibly adaptive and tolerant. We are very reliable just like a frog who sits in hot boiling water slowly but surely dying. We can tolerate things and as we tolerate them more, they just slowly shift and become our baseline. It's not until there's an acute moment in our lives that people reach out and ask for support.
This is related to the subject of the regression towards the mean, or a phenomenon that is studied extensively in skeptical communities and in scientific communities where it comes to the efficacy of anecdotal evidence, which is to say you take a remedy and you conclude based on your subjective feeling.
Listen as Adam Quiney discusses this topic and what it means about your motivation for transformation and creating a shift. Enjoy the show!

What does it mean to stand? The stand is not a much-talked-about topic in leadership conversations.
The art of standing is something that we learn not from a didactic or informational context, or just by knowing. It's more like about riding a bike. The way stand is best learned by having yourself stood for, and by getting to practice standing for people. By this, you get to see the internal experience in your own body and get the experience of someone loving you and holding you with compassion.

Listen as Adam Quiney talks about the fallacy of seeing a person's blind spot, and how you can put your attention on other things than focusing on seeing your blind spot. Enjoy the show!

In this episode of The Transformational Leader, we will get to know Donald Trump. Yes, you read it right. We get to know Trump on the ontological level, the service of addressing being rather than doing, being able to see things at a deeper level than just what we are doing on the surface and understanding things with a little bit more (0:22) depth and clarity.
Everyone's favorite person at this point is Trump. It is either you love him or you hate him, and you probably aren't very keen on him, not very bland or beige on him. To distinguish Trump's ontology, we must look at him in a few ways and model a couple of things.
Listen as we dive deep into this intriguing topic and see the ontology of Trump in a new perspective. Enjoy the show!

In this week's episode of The Transformational Leader, Adam Quiney, whose profession involves selling relationships with people, introduced a new concept on how to learn to sell.
A lot of entrepreneurs end up being stuck in the idea of not having to feel the context and pain they have around rejection. They are no longer conscious of these rejections, so instead of creating a breakthrough in what they are doing, they end up just creating a thick callous.
In this episode, you will learn how to sell. In Adam Quiney's context, moving from that place of saying, "Let me know shortly if you would like a coaching conversation," to asking a straightforward question, "Do you want a coaching conversation with me?"
From this, you can now stand for them to be a yes or no. This will allow you to be clear with yourself and with them on how you can provide value to them.
Listen and know the right response to these situations, moving from the old context to the new context that will create a breakthrough. Enjoy the show!
