My Great Aunt EDNA Leadership Podcast - JAY HAIGLER - DIVING WITH A PURPOSE
<p>For those who know me personally, you know I am a private pilot. I fly. I like heights and the beauty of the earth from the viewpoint of the sky. It is a majestic feeling to soar, have control of your aircraft, and view the heavens and the earth simultaneously. I have met a brother who does the opposite. He dives; very deep. He dives in oceans and views the majesty of the earth from under deep waters, and has explained to me a similar feeling of euphoria. He is also a leader in his field, which is why My Great Aunt EDNA had to speak with him. Meet Jay Haigler, the master scuba diver and leader of an organization known as Diving With a Purpose. Shout out to our brother Dell Warren for making the connection. CLICK PLAY TO LISTEN TO MY CONVERSATION WITH JAY HAIGLER ABOUT LEADERSHIP, PURPOSE, AND DIVING. <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mygreatauntedna">#mygreatauntedna</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/auntedna">#auntedna</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/leadership">#leadership</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/leadershipdevelopment">#leadershipdevelopment</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/leadership">#leadership</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/excellence">#excellence</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dointthingstherightway">#dointthingstherightway</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/noshortcuts">#noshortcuts</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/accountability">#accountability</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/author">#author</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/books">#books</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/podcast">#podcast</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/macmcneil">#macmcneil</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/my_great_aunt_edna">#My_Great_Aunt_EDNA</a> <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="yt-core-attributed-string__link yt-core-attributed-string__link--call-to-action-color" href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/macmcneil">#MacMcNeil</a> </p>

My Great Aunt EDNA Leadership Podcast - Grace Yung Foster - Born an Adoptee Outsider, Living as a Leader
<p>Is there a line in heaven for those who choose to be born an orphan? I am assuming that line would not exist, even if there were a desk for this category (I am picturing the Division of Motor Vehicles in my mind). As Grace Yung Foster told me during our leadership discussion pertaining to her lived experience of being an adoptee, then abandoned after adoption, resulting in the rest of her childhood being in foster care, being born an orphan means that you are literally born an outsider belonging nowhere. But Grace has overcome the beginning of her existence to become a leader in working with adoptees, foster children, and organizations to better maximize the full human potential. </p><p>#mygreatauntedna #auntedna #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadership #excellence #dointthingstherightway #noshortcuts #accountability #author #books #books #podcast #macmcneil #youtube #youtubevideo #My_Great_Aunt_EDNA #MacMcNeil #leadership help #leadership_helping_others_to_succeed_quotes</p>

My Great Aunt EDNA - Newsletter Audio Shorts - DREAM A LITTLE DREAM FOR ME
<p>Several studies have shown that creativity is much more prevalent in dreams than in actual life. Why, you ask? It is because the portion of the brain that manages logic and reason is largely restrained during the first 3 hours of sleep. This restraint of logic permits the free association connectivity of memories and ideas in a way that can produce novel combinations. The key to this being a benefit for your personal, leadership, or business life is the point at which you wake up in your sleep progression. I now automatically wake up after 3 hours, which allows me to vividly remember the novel combinations that were in my dreams. Typically, after the first 3 hours of sleep, it is harder for one to remember the vivid details of dreams if one sleeps a full 6 - 8 hours consecutively.</p>
