Leadership failure is not so much a failure of ethics as
it is a failure of human wholeness.
Leaders ultimately lead according
to who they are.
Leadership is deeply personal
and relies on 3 aspects of mindset.

Wim Hof, “The Iceman” has broken a number of records related
to cold exposure. His feats include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in
shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his
bare feet, and standing in a container while covered with ice
cubes for more than 112 minutes. Wim is convinced that
everyone can tap into this potential.

In an experiment, practitioners of the Wim Hof Method were
able to control their sympathetic nervous system and their
immune response while they were injected with an endotoxin.
Trained participants showed fewer symptoms and increased
levels of plasma epinephrine.
There are 3 pillars to his method:
1 – Cold Therapy
2 – Breathing
3 - Commitment

UQ
Unified
intelligence

7. I Q M U S C L E
Working our IQ muscle is the most common in
modern day workplaces. It involves serial processing
– that is doing things in a linear fashion. We do one
task then then next, then the next in a logical
sequential manner.
It’s how we cope with processing vast amounts of
information, learning processes
and analyzing problems.
This lights up the left side of the
brain the most.

8. E Q M U S C L E
Working our EQ muscle helps us visualize and dream
of our goals for the future. Through practicing
emotional intelligence we light up the creative center
of the brain, also known as the right brain and we
demonstrate greater empathy and understanding for
others.

9. U Q – T H E M I S S I N G P I E C E
Unified leadership is an intrinsically motivating force that
enables people to feel alive, energized, connected and aligned
with their work. It is this force that translates into feelings of
attraction, fascination, fun, and caring for work and people in
the work environment into committed and productive
organizational behaviour.
When a manager or leader taps into the
power of their Unified Intelligence they
utilise the power of WHOLE BRAIN
thinking, they also connect with their
heart and their gut. One of the best ways
to tune into your UQ is through meditation.

10. “If the 20th century has been
the Century of the Brain, then
the 21st century should be the
Century of the Heart.”
Dr Gary Schwartz
& Dr Linda Russek

Mindfulness helps deal with stress in the present
moment. In it you are directing your focus which lights
up a small part of the brain (the Prefrontal cortex.)
Over time this can improve your clarity and focus.

13. M E D I T A T I O N
Meditation gives the body deep, healing rest to get rid
of stress from the past. The technique is one of
surrender which lights up the whole brain, but not as
brightly as mindfulness. Over time, meditation
strengthens the corpus callosum.
This is known as synchronous
processing and is what we
experience in flow state or a
Unified Mind.
