• What are some strategies leaders can use to identify their own prominent mind knots?
• You suggest leaders should ask themselves one key question every day: Who am I practicing becoming? Why is this question so important, and how can it help leaders transform their mind knots into tools that move them and their organizations forward?
• You call attention to the fact that while cognitive and emotional biases are important to understand when selecting leaders, it’s a leadership lens that is overlooked in most organizations. Can you explain more about the importance of this lens and why it matters?
• In your book, you refer to what you call a “Captain’s Compass.” Can you describe what a Captain’s Compass is and how it can help leaders overcome their cognitive biases?

Joanna Lindenbaum is an expert in transformation who helps coaches and healers take their coaching skills to the next level. She believes that the coaching, healing, consulting & transformational industries have the power to change the world in extraordinary ways.

• Tell me about the Resistance Archetypes and how they impact clients?
• How do you know when someone is in Resistance, isn't it the same as being in Fear?
• What is the best way to help someone in Resistance?
• What if you can’t identify an Archetype, is something else going on?
• Can you tell me about a time when you were in Resistance, and how you worked your way through it?

Joanna believes that as these industries have grown, practitioners have focused more on marketing and less on mastering their craft to deliver the highest quality sessions. She’s on a mission to change that.

Joanna uses her 20 years of experience with human behavior, embodiment practices, and Archetype and Shadow to inform her Sacred Depths Practitioner Certification, where students gain a level of skill, confidence and depth when it comes to fears, blocks, self-sabotage and procrastination that the majority of their peers don’t have.

Susannah Cole started in property because she had a problem to solve. As a head of household with two little children, her month and money were only just meeting (and sometimes there was a gap) and she wanted more time with her family rather than having to swap her time for money at work. She could see the property could deliver that, so she set to!

She started The Good Property Company in 2011, as a kitchen table start-up. At first, the goal was to source deals for investors, work on JV flips, and then invest in property for herself and her family, to reach Financial Freedom and get to her personal goal which was more time with her family and loved ones, and the relatively passive money coming in, to not worry about money!

In the first four 1/2 years of being full-time in property, The Good Property Company sourced more than 200+ properties, all in Bristol, with a value of over £45 million, at a purchase price of £30 million (before refurb).

She was asked by Wendy, who became her first student, to share her simple step-by-step, and since then she has taught thousands of students to flip, deal source, JV, find investors, and undertake the journey to get to Financial Freedom, so they can reach their goals, and spend more time with their family and friends, and live life on their terms.
