Ep:#67 Finding your laser beam of genius with Sarah Watson

Phenomenal A list talent causing a wave of destruction at a company. We’ve all seen that person. We may even be, or have been, that person. But what is the reason for it? Sarah tells us it’s when Talent has “misplaced genius”. And she is essentially the red telephone for capital T talent. Sarah Watson is an Executive Coach that helps bring leaders to their greatness. She used to run the Global Strategy department for the global ad agency BBH, and whilst doing that, and being the chairman of the New York agency, she unearthed her calling. Having worked on brands for years and helping them find their soul, she realised that’s what she needs to do – but for people. Today Sarah is going to talk to us about why monasteries exist. Her love of language and poetry and how this finds its way into her work. Sarah tells us how she helps people drop into a different presence and a different part of themselves that is deeper than the one they thought they had constructed. And what happens when they do that. She talks about the emergent journey. And how people are conditioned out of their power. And she ends on God’s Grandeur by Gerard Manley Hopkins. And her articulation of how this relates to her work is simply gorgeous. This is such an inspirational episode. So, grab that favourite beverage or throw on those running shoes, and enjoy this conversation with Sarah.
