    “What's normal isn't normal,” declares Stephen McGhee, a leadership coach with over three decades of experience, as he joins the Quantum Biology Collective Podcast. Stephen shares his compelling journey from the high-stakes world of corporate finance to becoming a beacon of guidance for leaders seeking authenticity and alignment. His life took a dramatic turn following a near-fatal health scare, prompting him to reevaluate his priorities and embrace a path of leadership advisement.

    In this episode, Stephen explores the concept of discretionary energy and its critical role in effective leadership. He challenges the conventional reliance on willpower, advocating instead for a deeper connection to one's inner truth and the cultivation of personal sovereignty. Stephen emphasizes that true leadership transcends titles and is rooted in the positive influence one can have on others, regardless of their position.

    Join the conversation to discover how Stephen McGhee's insights can help you align your life with your true values, set clear boundaries, and harness your unique potential to lead with integrity and purpose.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Create space between stimulus and response. When triggered, pause and take a breath before reacting. This allows you to make a conscious choice rather than falling into familiar patterns.

    2. Ask yourself "Who do I need to be?" in challenging situations. Focus on being rather than doing to approach leadership and problem-solving from a more effective mindset.

    3. Practice deep listening - with others, yourself, and the world around you. Truly hearing and understanding builds trust and opens up new possibilities.

    4. Take care of yourself first. As a leader, you need to maintain your own wellbeing and energy in order to effectively serve others.

    5. Look for opportunities to lead and share your wisdom in everyday moments. Even small actions can have a ripple effect and make a difference.

    Memorable Quotes"The first law of leadership is take care of yourself. Breathe that in, let that camp in your heart and your body. Let it fill your cells. Take care of yourself.""Clear boundaries are not barriers to the heart. People think that saying no is a bad thing in some way. But obligations are overrated.""Leadership is far reaching. You will have no idea who will listen to this, who will then take something from it and go share it with their family or go share it with their patient, or go share it with a stranger on the street. Do not underestimate your power as a leader as you share."Connect with Stephen
