Find Your Flow. It’s Here to Help You.
Where are you when you get into the flow state the most? What are you doing on the outside? On the inside? Why is it so meaningful? Violinist Diane Allen, keynote speaker and bestselling author of Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do, discovered these questions as gateways to the flow state. “It’s in everyone,” says Diane. Accessing it can be simple. Maybe you put your office in order, or you take a walk outside. For Diane, making music and speaking are natural places where she finds flow. On the inside she has committed to work with her inner critic with care. “I can’t think of a single performance that was flawless… you can’t dwell on that wrong note. You say to your inner critic, I hear you, I will sit with you later and now I am going back to doing what I am here to do.” Flow is a state we can cultivate. It’s definitely worth it. “A McKinsey study says we are 600 times more creative in flow state.”
Self-criticism or Self-Compassion? You Choose
“I saw two roads in front of me. One was self-criticism and blame for what just happened and the other was about surrender and gratitude.” Massimo Backus, leadership coach and speaker and author of Human First, Leader Second: How Self-Compassion Outperforms Self-Criticism, reflects on a severe accident he had in October 2025. It brought him face to face with a foundational question: what is really important to me? He realized that achievement had been in the driver’s seat and self-criticism had been a relentless companion on this path. He was never enough. Self-kindness helped him put achievement in the backseat and put his true priorities, health and family, in the front. Paradoxically rebalancing his priorities helps Massimo to be of greater value to his clients. “To give my all, I need to have my all to give. This requires self-care and time.” He now puts time to connect with himself, his health and his family on his calendar. And he practices being in the now, surrendering what he can’t control and being grateful for all that is in this moment. A place to start on this journey? “Notice what is here without judgment. Be curious about what is.”

E70 - Rooted & Unwavering - June 12 - Hylke Faber & Amy Elizabeth Fox
Love. Serve. Remember.
“No matter how closed off or distracted the workshop participants appear on Sunday eve, at the beginning of our journey together, I greet and see them as grateful and open as I know they will be on Friday.” Amy Elizabeth Fox, co-founder and CEO of Mobius Executive Leadership, has led thousands of executives through immersive transformational programs over the past twenty years. Where did she get the inspiration to get started? “In my early twenties I received this mantra: Love. Serve. Remember. Open your heart more and more every day of this life. Serve others to open theirs. And remember the Divine Blessing Field that is always there to support us.” This is an endless journey of healing and awakening and taking aligned action. This journey includes embracing and holding the traumatized parts of us, that otherwise keep us stuck in regressive thinking and reactivity.Our work is to enlarge our inner container and groundedness to free ourselves from our intergenerational trauma. We curate our healing container in verypersonal ways. For Amy this includes daily repetition of mantras, cooking, spending time in the alchemy of conversation with friends and colleagues, working with teachers and guides, dance, poetry and being in nature. “We are walking too alone.” Who can you ask to sit and be with you today as you go through this healing moment?
