From the rise of Artificial Intelligence, to the Age of Aquarius to the frightening pastiche of Election 2024, this episode of Drop the Weight with master leadership expert Chela Davison covers a truly epic range of topics (with just a few apocalyptic notes to keep things interesting.) Through it all, Chela's sensible grounding in the real meaning of leadership both--both inward and outward, rooted in integrity through even the most incredible times of change--provide context and meaning that make the whirl of the discussion a lot less unsettling. Whatever your thoughts, predictions, hopes and probably inescapable anxieties surrounding 2024, perhaps we can all agree that it won't be boring!
