  • Episode 68 The Dragon Coils: Strategy in Leadership
    Feb 1 2026

    Welcome to The Invisible Power.
    Today we enter the quiet strength of a timeless posture: The Dragon Coils.

    The dragon does not rush.
    It waits.
    It gathers.
    It prepares.

    In Tai Chi, this coiling is not stillness—it is strategy.
    A moment of patience that hides precision.
    A breath that becomes foresight.
    A pause that becomes power.

    In leadership, the same truth applies:
    strategy is not endless motion, but the art of timing—
    knowing when to hold, when to gather, and when to act with clarity.

    In this episode, we’ll explore how the coiled dragon guides the PMO toward strategic vision, how Yoga Nidra reveals the inner stillness behind wise decisions, and how Confucius and Laozi illuminate the path of patient, purposeful leadership.

    So settle your breath.
    Ground your stance.
    And step with me into Episode 68—
    The Dragon Coils: Strategy in Leadership.

  • Episode 67 The Crane Stands Tall: Dignity in Leadership
    Jan 24 2026

    Welcome back to The Invisible Power, where we explore the subtle forces that shape how we lead, move, and live. In this episode, we turn to a symbol of elegance and unwavering presence: The Crane Stands Tall.

    The crane teaches us that dignity is not about pride or posturing. It’s the quiet strength of standing rooted in who we are—balanced, poised, and guided by integrity. In Tai Chi, this posture invites us to rise with calm confidence; in leadership, it reminds us to hold our presence with respect, steadiness, and values that inspire trust.

    We’ll explore how this posture comes alive in three dimensions of leadership:

    🕊️ In Tai Chi, where balance is born from grounding and breath.
    🏛️ In the PMO, where dignity becomes the courage to uphold standards and lead with respect.
    🌙 In Yoga Nidra, where inner dignity emerges from deep rest and self‑honoring.

    Along the way, we’ll draw wisdom from Confucius and Laozi—one teaching self‑respect, the other reminding us that true steadiness never comes from overreaching.

    Stay with me as we explore how dignity becomes a living practice: in our posture, in our decisions, and in the way we show up for others.

    And at the end, I’ll offer a simple weekly practice inspired by the crane—five minutes a day to reconnect with your own balanced, grounded presence.

    This is Episode 67: The Crane Stands Tall—Dignity in Leadership.
    Let’s begin.

  • Episode 66 The Lion Roars: Authority in Leadership
    Jan 17 2026

    Welcome to The Invisible Power.
    Today we enter the posture of the lion—rooted, clear, and quietly commanding.

    The lion does not roar constantly. It roars once, when needed.
    With presence. With clarity. With authority.

    In Tai Chi, “The Lion Roars” is not aggression—it is alignment.
    A gesture that protects boundaries, inspires trust, and embodies strength without fear.

    In leadership, true authority is not control. It is presence that speaks clearly, acts wisely, and guides without domination.

    We’ll explore:

    • The Lion Roars as a Tai Chi posture

    • The PMO as a guardian of clarity in organizations

    • Yoga Nidra as a gateway to inner authority

    • Confucius and Laozi on humility and self-mastery


    And we’ll close with a practice: Five minutes a day to embody authority—calm, grounded, and clear.

    This is Episode 66. Next time, we’ll meet the Crane: dignity in leadership.

    Until then, Keep walking gently. Keep pushing wisely.
    And remember: True authority is not noise.
    It is presence expressed through clarity and timing.
