Self Check in Exercise. David tells a story of a search party in Iceland looking for a woman who was already there.

The enforced simplicity of our current circumstances is causing self as instrument to be a very vital part of our survival at this moment. It has forced us to look in the mirror and see what is there.

David defines self as instrument work that we can use to look at our purpose and how we are showing up in the world and for ourselves and for others. It is important for leaders and managers because it is the conscious use of one's whole self.

If you are a leader who is going to help others on a personal or professional level, then being a clean and well established instrumental as self is vital for that help to actually be helpful.

It is essential to see the seer. Be aware of how you are showing up and explore by taking a step out of being in the moment as well as operating fully while plugged in so that you can see how you can maybe improve and do it better in the future.

Feedback and 360s are great ways to understand the efficacy of leadership and helpfulness.

The most important part of leadership is the self and not the methods or the processes. You can have methods and you can have a process but the leader and the individual exist as the primary instrument of the work.

David explains his hilarious experience with the T-Group format and how uncomfortable but beneficial holding space for learning can be.

David gives direct advice to listeners and leaders who really want to come in as a clean instrument to be of most service to those around them and their business or family.
