On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Dr Teri Baydar, a leadership development coach & author, among many other things, to talk about her journey and consciousness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • My book, ‘Flip Your Switch’ is about the 2 forms of consciousness that almost all of us experience – only 3-4% of us don’t experience this. We live in a state of almost perpetual conflict, both inner & outer, which is what I call ‘war consciousness’ which stem from the structure of the left brain where we spend way too much time trying to fix things & tactically/practically trying to figure things out, where we feel like we have to capture, contain & control something that we’re fixated on. Systemically, as a species, we’ve pushed ourselves more & more into war consciousness & it’s becoming really bad for us.
  • The other type of consciousness stems from the right brain/mind, which is where we take a step back, relax & know that everything is pretty much OK. From that state of mind, we seek to comprehend, we want to connect with people/life, build relationships & solve problems. This is ‘love consciousness’ which connects with life in a deep way personally & a larger way for solving problems & understanding things.
  • We’ve created a system, economically, socially, that has certain outcomes that are undesirable, like trashing the planet. But we keep doing it. Why? Because we can’t get out of our own way to think differently. Any leader that wants to disrupt or change anything has to first understand that you have to do it in your own mind.
  • If you’re living in a valley, you don’t know what’s going on in the next valley. The only way to see & understand is to rise to the mountaintop & look around at the different valleys & have a viewpoint where you can comprehend, on a wider scale, what’s happening. This leads to critical thinking, but we have to go a little father than that, we have to simultaneously contrast & compare  with the left brain which is this logistical, statistical functionality, but it needs to be in service of the higher values that are coming from the right mind.

BEST MOMENTS

‘To change things, solve problems, think critically, we have to get out of our left brains into our right mind.’

‘No problem was ever solved at the level of consciousness that it was created.’

‘We have a destructive mindset. Instead of disrupting in order to create better, we end up disrupting & destroying & doing the same things all over again, just at a slightly better, slightly less toxic way.’

‘We can only see other solutions once we elevate our consciousness.’
