Join Steven Miyao in this powerful conversation with Jim Fallon, Managing Partner at Conscious Leadership Group, as he shares his raw and transformative journey from high-achieving executive to conscious leadership coach.

After 25+ years leading companies in software, consulting, biotech, and manufacturing, Jim appeared successful on every traditional measure. But beneath the surface, workaholic patterns, self-medication, and declining relationships told a different story.

When three health crises hit in just three days—prostate cancer, Lyme disease, and a detached retina—the universe forced him to finally stop and face what he'd been avoiding.In this honest dialogue, Jim reveals how stepping away for a year with his kids, deepening his mindfulness practice, and learning the 15 commitments of conscious leadership completely rewired how he leads and lives. He shares practical wisdom on feeling your feelings, taking 100% responsibility, letting go of righteousness, and why the ”inner work” is no longer optional for high-performing leaders.If you're a successful executive feeling the strain, questioning what's next, or sensing there's a deeper way to lead—this conversation offers a roadmap.
