How to Be More Present and Hold Space for What’s Possible | Leadership Presence with Joel Monk

How do you become more present as a leader and hold space for what’s possible in the moment?

In this episode of What Do You Know To Be True?, executive coach and Coaches Rising co-founder Joel Monk shares how leadership presence, awareness, and tending to what’s emerging can unlock deeper impact in coaching and leadership conversations.

This conversation is especially relevant for:
➡️People leaders who want to be more present and less reactive
➡️Leadership coaches learning how to hold deeper space
➡️OD professionals focused on human-centered leadership
➡️Anyone exploring mindful leadership and presence

As an artist, a DJ, an Executive Coach, and Co-Founder of the coach training organization, Coaches Rising, those moments and the possibilities that emerge from them have been so important in Joel’s life.

In this conversation, Joel shares with us...
➡️how he shows up and creates those moments with his clients, his colleagues, and the important people in his life, so he can fully experience what emerges next.
➡️how those moments are more available to us if we bring our awareness to them.
➡️that it's unrealistic to expect that every moment is a magical moment - so we need to let go of expectations (and unironically, that's when the magic can help)

As a demonstration of Joel’s curiosity and his superpower of tending to the emergent, Joel gets me to share some key things from hosting the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast about how we discover our superpowers, unlock our potential, and make meaningful impact in our communities:
➡️the common themes of people using their superpowers
➡️the path that 9/10 times guests develop their superpowers
➡️the building blocks of potential

Joel is deeply thoughtful and present in this conversation, and it’s easy to see his superpower of tending to the emergent in action.

In this episode, Joel answers the following questions:
➡️How to be more aware of what's possible?
➡️How to be more emotionally present?
➡️Why do I struggle to be present?
➡️How to be more mindful?
