Though this relates to a specific incident a week or so ago, the troubling truth is that whenever you’re listening to this episode, it’s likely there’s been another incident that had the same result. A thing happened. One group of people celebrated it. Another group of people decried it as travesty, a disgrace. 

Both responses are bullshit.

Saturated with ego, conditionality and resulting in more of the same. More friction. More confrontation. More opposition. More chaos.

One of my trusted mentors pointed to a commentary by a specific well-known person. Someone who was speaking to a crowd and - in response to the day’s news - stated “So, anything going on today?”  My mentor noted it as being neutral. That this person didn’t “comment” on the news.

Oh, but she did and the small statement was anything BUT neutral. It was saturated with a sense of satisfaction. It was very cat that ate the canary. 

Remaining neutral doesn’t mean seeking justice. Remaining neutral doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be consequences for actions. Remaining neutral is all about how we think, speak and act about it that matters - and that’s where I go with this week’s episode. So buckle up :)

In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. 

Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. 

This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.
