The Illumify Game Changer

Minisode 1:28 - “Most Leaders’ Communications Don’t Reflect Who Is Listening” – The Leader’s Vision Matters

This minisode from episode 28 speaks to why that matters.

28 - The Leader’s Vision Matters

Igniting a big vision of change takes real leadership. You have to be able to engage, align and mobilize all those who can help. But if your change doesn’t matter to them, they won’t listen or act. So how do you ensure they care about it? First, as Jonathan discovers in this episode, you have to know who they are. 01:04 Amplify Question 25: To whom does this matter? 02:52 Why do you say it’s not your job to make it matter? 06:30 “Part of my job is to make it matter.” 07:08 It’s not about salesmanship. 09:00 My vision goes beyond a political one to the idea of nesting. 11:22 We move through culture to values to a political system and then ultimately out of it. 14:31 What does it mean to be human goes beyond politics. 19:06 Moving around is not normal. The human need to stay at home is strong. 23:31 I do believe that a lot of people today are feeling uprooted, disoriented, dislocated and fragmented, not feeling they’re a part of anything. We lack a common sense of purpose. 28:19 I think you can be someone who has lived in the same town for 20 years and feel equally uprooted and lonely. 32:04 Nomad definition: “A member of a people who have no permanent home but move according to the season.” 35:33 Is it about inspiring them to help you ignite your vision? 36:50 At some point in the future, I would want the political system to respond to this. 42:30 The moral legitimacy of taking my vision into Denmark where some of these values already exist. 44:51 You can live in a place that’s in tune with your values and still have a sharp sense of things needing to change. 47:33 Is there a European ideal of a shared home? 48:47 This question is designed to identify who you need to engage? Put a face on it. 55:55 How can you begin to identify the vehicle if you don’t know who you need to reach? 56:47 Final Answer Produced by NOVA [https://novapodcasting.com]

27. The Leader’s Affected

Having a vision of meaningful change is the first monumental step in your leader’s journey. But it’s essential to know if your change would matter to others as well – enough that they may even help you realize it. In this episode, Jonathan explores who would most benefit from his vision of a shared home. 01:29 Reference Cards: Illumify Definition; 02:32 Enleaven definition and the Enleavening experience 8:34 Guidelines 09:28 Perhaps the hardest part of this is the leap into the unknown. 10:33 You’re now able to stand in the known, and lead them into the unknown. 11:37 Amplify Question 24: Who will this affect the most? 14:53 If your vision speaks to a need, the first to respond would be in tune with your vision. 22:04 Some of those early responders might be those who completely reject the vision. 24:48 What makes your heart ache gets to what’s urgent and intolerable, beyond anger and rage. 26:00 The most urgent wrong that must be righted is physical homelessness. 28:22 The most nourishing and fulfilling freedom is the one that allows you to become what you want to be. 33:27 I believe we can build a shared home that responds to our basic needs as human beings. 37:18 There are many ways people leave a home. 39:27 The epidemic of loneliness because too many do not feel at home within themselves. 40:30 Finding your own path is a vital part of the vision. 44:18 If the individual is not at home within themselves, how do they become part of a shared home? 48:03 The loneliness we feel even when with other people is not a loneliness that comes from distance. It’s something else. 49:40 Do you have a better sense now of who your vision affects the most? 51:56 Final Answer 54:31 Making the chasm deeper with “What if?” 1:03:35 Jonathan’s distinct ability, his “super power”, on loneliness 1:05:55 The connection between loneliness within and our choices in society.
