The Inner Work of Leadership: Cultivating Self-Awareness for Outer Impact -38

Marli Williams

In this episode of the Marli Williams Podcast, I sit down with Adair Cates, a seasoned facilitator and leadership trainer. Together, we dive into the powerful insights of self-leadership, the importance of regulating the nervous system, and how shifting belief systems can lead to personal growth. Adair shares her own experiences with life’s challenges and how daily practices like breathwork and meditation have helped her thrive. We also explore conscious leadership and how intentional energy and presence can transform both personal and professional realms. With key takeaways on setting priorities, pausing for self-awareness, and leading with love and generosity, this episode is perfect for anyone looking to lead a more mindful and fulfilled life.

Adair's Bio:

Adair Cates is a transformational Conscious Leadership trainer, facilitator, and coach with over 20 years of experience in adult education, leadership development, and mindfulness.

As the heart and soul behind the Awakening Conscious Leadership Experience (ACLE) at xchange, Adair collaborates with a renowned faculty of experts [Rollin McCraty, PhD (HeartMath®), Raj Sisodia (Conscious Capitalism), Margaret Wheatley (Author/Berkana Institute), Julianna Raye (Unified Mindfulness), and Lynne Twist (Soul of Money Institute)] merging neuroscience, mindfulness, and breathwork to elevate and accelerate influential leadership from the inside out.

She has designed and facilitated thousands of one-on-one and group conversations to unlock potential, promote well-being, and accelerate sustained change in organizations such as Microsoft, Meta (Facebook), EOS, TEDx and Conscious Capitalism.

As a mom of twins and three bonus kids, partner (in work and life) to xchange founder Jon Berghoff, and author of two self-development books, "Live with Intention" and "Fully Engaged," Adair brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to her work; however, her most important leadership role is in her home.

Her expertise in experience design and facilitation, coupled with her certifications as a Heartmath Resilience Trainer and PSYCH K® practitioner, allows her to deeply understand and embody the science, spirituality, and practices behind what she teaches, making her a sought-after trainer and coach in the field of Conscious Leadership.
