We’re all experiencing the same thing, only differently
-Adrienne Guerrero
Since 2021, our A Leadership Beyond community has examined leadership through diverse lenses, bringing together insights from business leaders and human development experts.
Today's conversation with Dot Proux (a community member, podcast guest and dear friend) represents a natural evolution in our journey—moving from facilitating discussions about leadership challenges to offering collaborative, tailored solutions. While our community of conversation remains a vibrant space for exchanging ideas and perspectives, we recognize that some members seek more personalized support for their specific leadership challenges.
Tom and Adrienne bring complementary perspectives to this dialogue. While our individual practices serve different aspects of leadership development—Tom focusing on the persuasive arts and executive coaching through Diamond Mind, and Adrienne specializing in enterprise-level change leadership through Positive Delta—our shared commitment to people-first leadership unites our approach.
This conversation illuminates how leadership effectiveness stems not merely from strategic capabilities, but from self-awareness, understanding others, and aligning human potential with organizational priorities and business objectives.
We invite you to join this ongoing dialogue as we continue exploring leadership that transcends conventional boundaries. As always, participation in our community remains free of charge—the podcast, discussions, and shared insights are our gift to fellow leadership enthusiasts. That said, for those who'd like to explore deeper, more tailored leadership development, we're now offering several structured options that build on the foundations we've established together — helping you move from insightful ideas to meaningful execution. And the first step is discovery, requiring no fee or obligation.
Episode Highlights

- Generational Insights: Discussion of how younger generations seek meaning in work and set better boundaries, while older generations often struggle with work-life balance.
