Hello everyone and very much welcome to my podcast in Swedish Victim predicted by
Carin:Carring Coach, which is about what really matters.
Carin:And now you're or maybe surprised because I usually speak Swedish in this podcast.
Carin:But today, dear listeners, I have a wonderful guest and to be safe, I always have my
Carin:wonderful Nestor in podcasting with me.
Carin:Are you there, Martin?
Martin:Yes, I'm here.
Martin:I'm ready for coaching Swaypoint Zero and hot
Martin:talking 2.0 session.
Carin:Our wonderful guest has already presented herself with a big laughter and we
Carin:have a big honor to have wonderful Tinder address on our podcast.
Carin:Welcome, tinder.
Tünde:Please. Thank you guys.
Tünde:It was such a surprise because you really
Tünde:opened my eyes.
Tünde:You should have seen my eyes opening when I
Tünde:was hearing Martin saying it in German.
Tünde:So beautiful.
Tünde:Thank you so much.
Tünde:You couldn't have chosen a better moment to
Tünde:wake up to this moment.
Tünde:Hey, you're arrived in there, you're here,
Tünde:you're alive now.
Martin:You're welcome.
Carin:Actually, we have been speaking a little bit in the green room so called, where
Carin:we gather and gear up everything and are connecting our computers because we are in a
Carin:kind of a tea party, right, Martin? Yes, we are separate.
Carin:So where are you situated, Martin?
Martin:I'm in Gotenburg, Sweden.
Carin:Yes. And I'm in Sweden as well.
Carin:And where are you today?
Tünde:Well, I'm not in Boston.
Tünde:Okay.
Tünde:I'm not at the Boston Tea Party.
Tünde:So if people might think of Tea Party, of the
Tünde:Boston Tea Party when there was a tea wasted.
Tünde:We are not wasted.
Tünde:Yes, we are enjoying tea here rather than wasting here.
Carin:Yes, we are.
Carin:And.
Tünde:I only picked up the Tea.
Carin:Party thing because Martin is really interested in tea and he has been writing
Carin:books about tea and he's really an expert.
Carin:But that is beyond the podcast thing and maybe
Carin:you can say some words about that later on, but I'm still in this to let you tell us where
Carin:are you in the world?
Tünde:It's interesting that I'm meaning to avoid answering that question.
Tünde:No, I'm just kidding.
Tünde:How I came to Boston.
Tünde:No, I am based in Austria.
Tünde:Actually, it's very difficult to answer that
Tünde:question because physically I am in a forest some 30 km outside of Vienna.
Tünde:But with my heart I am actually connected right now to a tree that I'm looking at.
Tünde:It's a beautiful like some very, very large like 150 years old.
Tünde:A huge beautiful standing alone.
Tünde:And when you ask me where I am speaking from
Tünde:is I am speaking from that connection with that tree right now.
Carin:That is really making me shiver because I've seen that tree and I know the feeling
Carin:around it and the soul that it is resonating out with a big range.
Carin:And I can really imagine how you are connected together there with that specific tree, tinder
Carin:and I have seen it on film.
Carin:When you are going up to that tree, what kind
Carin:of film is that.
Tünde:You'Re bringing up something.
Tünde:So it's a documentary that I started creating
Tünde:in three parts in order to enable a social impact project which is about providing coach
Tünde:training to women in Kenya in a collaborative effort with an organization called Mama
Tünde:Organization.
Tünde:The goal being to make the women in Kenya
Tünde:supported by Mama to make them more entrepreneurial because Kenya is still a
Tünde:highly patriarchal system and the women like it's very interesting that we're talking about
Tünde:the tree here because I feel that I'm having a lot of space here.
Tünde:And not just space, but also spaciousness, which means that I have liberties, I have
Tünde:freedom to act, I can do and go about things that I love doing while those women don't.
Tünde:And probably this is also why I am standing and I have chosen to stand here in connection
Tünde:with the tree because all these women down there also deserve a space for themselves and
Tünde:spaciousness in their lives to make the real impact that they are capable to make held by
Tünde:coaching, held by a capacity to coach themselves.
Tünde:Because coaching has a real true power of empowerment.
Tünde:So the documentary that I created is to collect donations so that we can make it
Tünde:possible for the women to receive coach training, as it's also important for me that
Tünde:we pay the coaches who will come down to Kenya a fair fee and not expect people to come and
Tünde:do stuff free of charge.
Tünde:So we need donations through the documentary
Tünde:to enable the social impact in Kenya for the women.
Tünde:Thank you for asking.
Carin:That is wonderful.
Carin:And have you got all this, Martin?
Martin:A little bit, a little glimpse and that's topic, you could say the future of
Martin:podcasting and coaching.
Martin:I see directly opportunities with something
Martin:called the Value for Value Model and new technology like blockchain technology and
Martin:Bitcoin or parts of Bitcoin called Satoshi, how you could send directly in support by if
Martin:you tune and others participate in this project asking about it.
Martin:And then you could give according to what you have the possibility to do and what you think
Martin:is worth.
Martin:And that adds up.
Martin:So I see opportunities.
Martin:I'm interested and as you said, there's a tea.
Martin:I'm interested because in Kenya, lots of good tea.
Martin:Also the plantation there.
Martin:And if you could get that rolling in a
Martin:positive way, division of labor, every individual is important.
Martin:So I'm interested to learn more about that.
Martin:Podcasting is a good thing to do.
Martin:That because you could add and include show notes and links to the project and you then
Martin:could continue the conversation and ask questions and spread the good word.
Martin:Recently it was a big podcasting conference in Africa.
Martin:This is like a booming market for creating and listening and to take action.
Carin:And to help each other further and be aware of what the little thing could add when
Carin:you do it in a proper way.
Carin:And I'm so interested in this and that.
Carin:I said to you that your fantastic films that are the content that you could give a small
Carin:amount of money to help this project get rolling.
Carin:The film is by itself like an education for the society and for people, whoever you are,
Carin:listener out there, or if you are a coach, to get more training in what is coaching all
Carin:about.
Tünde:Yes. What does it entail? Because you're bringing up a great point,
Tünde:Karen, because we believe that coaching is about the coach and the client only.
Tünde:And it's a me business sort of thing.
Tünde:So I am the coach and I am delivering some
Tünde:value to a client on an individual level.
Tünde:But coaching has a power that goes far beyond
Tünde:that scope.
Tünde:And this is also how I met you when you got
Tünde:actually, this is why I feel so fascinated to be surrounded by you and support whatever
Tünde:wants to emerge in a collaboration with you.
Tünde:Because I can see how deep you go when it
Tünde:comes to learning.
Tünde:And you don't just go deep, you go wide and
Tünde:high and broad and there are dimensions to learning.
Carin:Yes.
Tünde:So what I'm saying is that when coaching is not just about the you and I, when
Tünde:a coach and a client is sitting, the whole same principle applies to when we are learning
Tünde:or leaders are learning.
Tünde:There is a height to that, there is a breadth
Tünde:to that, there is a wish to that, there is depth to that.
Tünde:And this is something that when I met you, I understood about you, how you are
Tünde:incorporating and integrating these dimensions.
Tünde:And I think this is the future of learning.
Carin:Thank you so much.
Carin:Really, thank you so much.
Carin:And dear listeners, we need to tell you a little bit how it was when I came to Vienna,
Carin:outside Vienna where Tinder lived, because it was kind of the network thing again.
Carin:And it was through a contact on LinkedIn that I was shown that, oh, there's something going
Carin:on in Austria.
Carin:Won't you come?
Carin:That was how we met and I signed up for this and we get together.
Carin:So I only would like to give you this background.
Carin:And as we met, I was in contact with you before online, and you have written and made
Carin:some fantastic studies and research.
Carin:And please tell us a little bit about your
Carin:book.
Tünde:Which one? The last one?
Martin:Not the last one, I hope, but.
Carin:I've written three as well.
Carin:But they are Swedish.
Carin:Please.
Carin:I know the one about presence and I'm thinking
Carin:about the spheres, as you mentioned, that you realize that I'm really interested in these
Carin:spheres of life.
Tünde:Yes. So the book is about again, it's about expanding our understanding around what
Tünde:presence is.
Tünde:And the fascinating thing is that when I'm
Tünde:talking about presence, it applies to both coaches and leaders.
Tünde:So whatever people who are listening to us now and they are not in any way related to
Tünde:coaching, but are more grounded in leadership.
Tünde:So whatever you are hearing, guys, it also
Tünde:will apply to you, because what is presence? Presence is not standing on a podium and using
Tünde:tips and tricks to create visibility for yourself.
Tünde:Presence comes from depth inside.
Tünde:It comes from within.
Tünde:And that depth from within can be calculated.
Tünde:It's not calculated.
Tünde:So it's very interesting that I'm having a fruity and slip here.
Tünde:It's not calculated.
Tünde:Yeah.
Tünde:It must be cultivated in a very mindful way in how we are growing and building our awareness
Tünde:around what is going on inside us.
Tünde:The inner attention that we are cultivating,
Tünde:the awareness around the inner mechanisms that we have, and also the outer attention.
Tünde:So we have the two parts, the inner attention and the outer attention.
Tünde:An awareness around how am I taking in the world, what is the level of realities that I'm
Tünde:carrying in me? And that's what the book is talking about, how
Tünde:complex that is.
Tünde:And I will give you an example.
Tünde:Sometimes when I am in webinars, I pull up an image, and that image shows a butterfly,
Tünde:basically.
Tünde:And then I asked the people, so what can you
Tünde:see here? Do you see a bat or a butterfly?
Tünde:And very fast people will react and say, well, that's a butterfly.
Tünde:And I say to them, now guys, look more carefully.
Tünde:Take another deeper look, because there is a bet on top of a butterfly.
Tünde:And that's an example to show how we are not using actually our sensory capacities, of
Tünde:which we have five, not just a seeing the example with the butterfly is only one
Tünde:example.
Tünde:If you are not really using and connected with
Tünde:our five sensory capacities, we end up in wrong realities.
Tünde:Because if I just only see the butterfly, I will be taken into perceptions that are wrong,
Tünde:because my associations with a butterfly will not include a bat, but in that picture, there
Tünde:was also a bat.
Tünde:So I am excluding essential information that I
Tünde:will need to understand the emotions that I have about that picture and consequently also
Tünde:how I think about that picture.
Tünde:Because if I only see a butterfly and not the
Tünde:back on top of the butterfly, I will think about that picture differently and I will talk
Tünde:about it also differently.
Tünde:Now, why is that relevant for leaders?
Tünde:Because if we are not able to be present to how we are using our five capacities, five
Tünde:capacities as fully as possible, we are not able to lead fully effectively, and we will be
Tünde:misled ourselves.
Tünde:So the leader being misled because we are not
Tünde:able to take decisions that reflect what is needed out there.
Carin:Yes. And I'm very curious about what you would answer on.
Carin:Why do you think it's like that?
Tünde:Because we because being present and also ultimately making ourselves really
Tünde:visible through our presence.
Tünde:And I will speak about two aspects now.
Tünde:Yeah.
Tünde:So to answer your question is because we have
Tünde:not learned and we can learn it.
Tünde:So it's not a reproach to anyone.
Tünde:I had to learn it myself how to pay attention to levels of spheres of presence that we have
Tünde:not had the chance to learn.
Tünde:Like we need to understand this inner
Tünde:attention that I like calling the Ice fear and the book is talking about it and explaining to
Tünde:what extent we are mistaken around our level of understanding about ourselves, the lack of
Tünde:awareness that we have we are automatically unaware of things about ourselves.
Tünde:Then we have the second sphere which is more the relational, the we sphere understanding
Tünde:what do we need dynamically with each other.
Tünde:Then there is also the context that we are not
Tünde:fully aware of, not using the five senses to integrate context.
Tünde:Like for example, I am here and the way that I'm looking at the tree is shaping the way I
Tünde:feel energized to speak about something.
Tünde:So context.
Tünde:A specific context that we are in will always influence our level of presence.
Tünde:How we are taking in realities and then of course we have the omnisphere something less
Tünde:tangible that includes views like the philosophy of life what do I think.
Tünde:What is a good life and a bad life.
Tünde:For example.
Tünde:Or cultural backgrounds that we take with us because it's part of our identity and how we
Tünde:interact with each other.
Tünde:So all these things when we are not paying
Tünde:attention to these fears through the five senses.
Tünde:What happens is that we cannot be visible because this visibility out there to inspire
Tünde:other people to be seen.
Tünde:To have an impact.
Tünde:Can only come when we are really connected with reality and that connection will not
Tünde:happen by learning presentation skills or what I have come to see as executive presence.
Tünde:How do I stand on the podium? It is not going to make the trick now.
Carin:Oh, that's wonderful to hear you and I'm thinking about the listeners and I'd like
Carin:to repeat because it's so interesting content you give us here.
Carin:So I'd like you to repeat the name of the book, please.
Carin:Tinder, what's the name of the book?
Tünde:Well, if I'm not mistaken, the book still is cold.
Tünde:The name of the book is still a coaching presence and I have it.
Carin:Here understanding the power of the Nonverbal relationship by syndrome.
Tünde:Yes, understanding the power.
Tünde:So what is important here is how much our
Tünde:body, the nonverbal exactly how much power and hidden intelligence the body has and we are
Tünde:not integrating it fully through the five senses to take in our realities, to be
Tünde:visible, inspirational and create impact out there as leaders.
Carin:Yes, yes.
Carin:Oh, that's wonderful.
Carin:I would like to have that last piece on repeat and listeners out there.
Carin:I'd like to encourage you to listen to the podcast before which was in Swedish.
Carin:That might be difficult for you, but maybe you can get something about the content.
Carin:I have been blogging about it because it's also about how we treat our bodies and how we
Carin:stay connected with the body, as Tinder says, and all the Five Senses, my podcast started
Carin:with almost that part, martin and I I'm coming back to that one because I'm very interested
Carin:in how we try and try and try to understand ourselves and the world around.
Carin:And I would like you, dear Tinder, to repeat the spheres because some people out there
Carin:might be very interested in what spheres is she's talking about and what is this, please?
Carin:Once again, it's the Ice Fear and so on.
Tünde:So it's the Ice Fear and basically it's about this level of awareness about all
Tünde:mechanisms.
Tünde:And those mechanisms can let me give you a
Tünde:very specific example.
Tünde:Like do you notice, for example, how what you
Tünde:like, what you prefer doing? It's actually shaping how you are making
Tünde:choices.
Tünde:Like for example, when I say I like digital
Tünde:work, I like working with my clients digitally or I like digital meetings because and I pull
Tünde:out of my rooks like all sorts of stories about how comfortable and convenient that is.
Tünde:In what way am I actually limiting my impact as a leader or as a coach through that very
Tünde:like and preference? Just because I like or prefer something, it
Tünde:doesn't mean that I'm really impactful.
Tünde:It actually just means that I am literally
Tünde:married with my comfort zone.
Carin:Yes.
Tünde:And so the Ice Fear is about sensitizing ourselves and basically that's
Tünde:what we do in the training then is to learn because we are so mistaken about ourselves, we
Tünde:notice so little while we are believing that we notice so much.
Carin:Yes, exactly.
Carin:We think that we are aware, but your research
Carin:has shown that we are not.
Tünde:No, we're not.
Carin:We might come back to that because I soon want to Martin, to get into the context
Carin:here, but let's step through the four spheres before Martin is coming on.
Tünde:So the second sphere is the we sphere.
Tünde:And I'll give you a practical example there as
Tünde:well.
Tünde:For example, when we are in a meeting and this
Tünde:is a question to our audience, they can experiment with it.
Tünde:So when you're sitting with people and you want the people to do something for you and
Tünde:the people are not doing that stuff for you, what happens with you?
Tünde:How do you interact? Will you react to what is being given to you
Tünde:or do you spontaneously respond? And now that's the we fear of about to
Tünde:understand the difference, to learn about the difference, that when we are reacting to
Tünde:something, then we are coming from a place of defense because we need something different
Tünde:and somebody's giving us an apple, but we need a pear.
Tünde:And because we want that apple so badly, we can appear, we cannot just open the hands up
Tünde:and say well, thank you very much for the peer.
Tünde:So we cannot spontaneously respond because we have missed the opportunity to check in with
Tünde:the body to understand where am I blocked right now?
Tünde:Why don't I like receiving that pair that's being offered to me?
Tünde:And that's why we end up in relationships and conflict a lot of times and leadership is
Tünde:feeling incapacitated to have the people move ahead because there is no presence around.
Tünde:Okay.
Tünde:How do I need to learn to respond
Tünde:spontaneously so that I can keep my people inspired.
Tünde:So that I can be more visible.
Tünde:So that people can say.
Tünde:Oh. I see them.
Tünde:So they can see me?
Tünde:So that's the we sphere, the all sphere is about as a third sphere is about for example,
Tünde:when we look at the screen and we are still working digitally, so we're not digital rule
Tünde:with people, it's always important to also allow the context for what is the image that
Tünde:I'm seeing behind the person? Is it a natural setting?
Tünde:Is it an artificial setting? And to also allow pay attention to how that
Tünde:context around me can deliver information about the person because it's part of that
Tünde:person's reality.
Tünde:And how can we sensitize ourselves to using
Tünde:that information to better contextualize the person?
Tünde:Because the better we can situate a person in their own context, the better our reality
Tünde:about who is sitting visa v me to have dialogue.
Tünde:So that's the context, the contextual elements of what we need to understand because it has
Tünde:an impact on how we are present to somebody.
Tünde:Do I exclude information from somebody's
Tünde:context or my context? Or do I integrate it fully to create
Tünde:visibility that I can see again and somebody else can see me in turn as well?
Tünde:And then the only sphere, for instance and now I will tell you something very personal about
Tünde:my life.
Tünde:You know, I think I'm a woman.
Tünde:I'm still a woman.
Tünde:And I have a biological rhythm each month I
Tünde:have my period.
Tünde:And I know that the biological condition is
Tünde:part of my existence.
Tünde:We can make a stereotype and the cliche about
Tünde:it or we can turn it into very insightful awareness and say, okay, I know that my body's
Tünde:clock is ticking differently once per month.
Tünde:And I know that that biological condition will
Tünde:shape my sense of irritability, my sense of concentration, my sense, my level of
Tünde:attention.
Tünde:So if I can integrate that's what we call
Tünde:omniscient, my biological conditions or my cultural identity or my philosophical views
Tünde:about things, then I don't have to block myself out.
Tünde:Because sometimes we block it out.
Tünde:People say, well, let's not think about this,
Tünde:let's suppress this.
Tünde:It's not there.
Tünde:Well, it is there.
Tünde:My body is there.
Tünde:My physical condition is there.
Tünde:And it's not helpful to do as if it were not
Tünde:there.
Tünde:So that's the last fear.
Tünde:The online sphere that also needs to be integrated into our presence so that we can be
Tünde:really visible and impactful, feel energetic and vital.
Tünde:And that's the vitality that creates our visibility out there, not our presentation
Tünde:skills.
Carin:Thank you so much.
Carin:And these four layers, if we say so, or the
Carin:circles or whatever you will call it, and how beautiful you have laid it out in the book, if
Carin:you are able to make them integrated and vibrant and resonating with each other, what
Carin:would you say that you are reaching out at that point?
Tünde:Oh, well, we are.
Tünde:And this is what we can see.
Tünde:This is not my imagination.
Tünde:This is what we could find, is that suddenly
Tünde:people find limitless resources, they don't see a situation as a threat, but suddenly they
Tünde:see opportunities because they are freed up.
Tünde:They are not blocked, they can respond.
Tünde:They can take that pair even though they wanted an apple.
Tünde:We don't have time management issues anymore because through the limitless resources we are
Tünde:capacitated to make wiser decisions, effective decisions.
Tünde:And that's something very relevant for leadership these days, right.
Tünde:When everybody is just overwhelmed and over committed and we don't know what to do with
Tünde:the time.
Carin:I love this part.
Carin:I just wrote a blog post about time yesterday
Carin:and I'm going to bring it up.
Carin:I love this part.
Carin:And please, Tinder, would you like to hear really?
Carin:I'm asking you and Martin and Martin, it's your turn soon, so stay tuned.
Carin:Would you like to hear what I can hear? What is possible to happen when you have these
Carin:four layers connected?
Tünde:Absolutely. Please.
Tünde:Sure.
Carin:I hear that this is the way and the path to reach the authentic self.
Tünde:Yes. Would you like to say more about this?
Carin:No, please take the ball.
Tünde:The ball? Yes, I'm taking the ball.
Tünde:Yes.
Carin:Because you are sorry for interrupting.
Carin:You are the one who had made the research on
Carin:this.
Carin:And I have made some research, but not as much
Carin:as you have.
Carin:Really.
Carin:I want to hear more about your research on these things.
Carin:So please tell us.
Tünde:So when we speak about authenticity, this is also another misconceived idea.
Tünde:Like the way presence is something misconceived by leadership.
Tünde:Saddam out there on the stage and I'm speaking no, the same thing also with authenticity.
Tünde:It's a misconceived idea.
Tünde:It's hopelessly misunderstood because
Tünde:sometimes people say, well, if I speak my mind, I always say how I'm feeling and what
Tünde:I'm thinking.
Tünde:That's my authentic self.
Tünde:And we know that this is not this is actually unwise to do so, and not very present.
Tünde:So what is it that we know that is authenticity and it's actually contained in
Tünde:the word itself? Authenticity comes from the Greek word author.
Tünde:Author.
Tünde:An author is somebody who is writing each
Tünde:chapter of his own book, which means that each chapter of his own life.
Tünde:An author is taking the pen, knows which pen to take, which paper to use to write a book,
Tünde:which letters, how to use to choose the words.
Tünde:So how to author our own life.
Tünde:That's authenticity.
Tünde:Now, how to author our own life largely
Tünde:depends on our presence.
Tünde:So the one doesn't go without the other.
Tünde:So authenticity is actually both an outcome and a condition of our visibility, presence,
Tünde:inspiration, and our flow in life.
Tünde:So if we are not authentic and really
Tünde:authoring each chapter of our own life, or deciding let me put it also differently if we
Tünde:are not connected with ourselves so that we know each moment of our life, like I'm sitting
Tünde:here with you here, or standing rather here and having this conversation, it's a conscious
Tünde:choice.
Tünde:I know why it's valuable for me to sit here.
Tünde:I know consciously why I choose to be here and not some other place.
Tünde:So authoring one's own life means that we are attuned whatever we do in life is consistent
Tünde:with our purpose.
Tünde:And we are not just taking off our feet.
Tünde:We don't get lost.
Tünde:We are not confused.
Tünde:We understand the two elements of time because there are two elements you brought up that
Tünde:you're blogging about, time.
Tünde:And I'm fascinated because time is something
Tünde:that is also misunderstood.
Carin:Yes.
Tünde:Absolutely.
Tünde:It's kind of like it goes back to the Greek
Tünde:again, because the Greek people have two concepts for time.
Tünde:The one is kronos and the other one is kairos.
Tünde:Right.
Tünde:And Kronos is something that we in the more Westernized world have learned to cope with.
Tünde:Like what? How many tasks can I put in an hour?
Tünde:Right? So we use time as a concept to work off
Tünde:chores, tasks we find time to task orientation, goal setting, like do do, but
Tünde:actually chiros.
Tünde:The other concept of time is, hey, you have
Tünde:time now.
Tünde:It's the concept of perpetuity.
Tünde:We are here now.
Tünde:What is the space, what is the spaciousness,
Tünde:what is the attention that you are giving to what is happening now?
Tünde:And that's what we are not understanding, how important it is to learn the balance between
Tünde:kronos and chairs.
Tünde:So it's okay to run after tasks because we
Tünde:have a lot of responsibility and many accountabilities, and we have a full agenda,
Tünde:all good and bad.
Tünde:But how much space and how much spaciousness
Tünde:do we give the tasks? And how consistent are what we do each day
Tünde:with what our purpose is, with our authenticity is?
Tünde:How authentic, how much are we authoring our legacy?
Tünde:For example, why am I here in the first place? My life is in Hungarian, we like saying that
Tünde:life is a salami.
Carin:That's nice to hear your voice, Martin, because I was really thank you, Tinder.
Carin:It's like a song to hear you and so much going on.
Carin:And I wonder, Martin, what's going on in your brain, in your system, and what's going on out
Carin:there, listeners, and please, Martin, bring it on.
Carin:What's going on on your behalf?
Martin:Yeah, I'm here freedom of choice and freedom of expression.
Martin:And I'm here in the moment and I'm doing introspection and thanks to for giving me
Martin:material for at least free podcast productivity in Swedish.
Martin:Like we are talking about getting things done but mainly focus on tea and be presence of the
Martin:tea ritual and tea ceremony and take the senses in and test the tea and also with my
Martin:cohost Kalinari Deniers presentation skill Q and A question and answers because we are
Martin:talking about nonverbal language also and I said in a recent episode that I had a man code
Martin:and we talked about that and then so that's different podcast there we could talk and also
Martin:I know getting arguments why they should contact you like leaders.
Martin:I studied organization leadership in America so I will contact the university there,
Martin:Southern New Hampshire University and see if I have that literature.
Martin:So that's the thing to think and also during the time I was thinking about how we could
Martin:support and promote what you're doing in Kenya and there it's a company involved in his
Martin:podcasting and also other things called Get Albe in Germany.
Martin:But you could put you could say a small script on a website and then it will pop up like a
Martin:lightning symbol and then you could send donations directly from your browser to the
Martin:place that you're visiting.
Martin:So that was what I was thinking.
Martin:And then of course my favorite the ancient Greek and lysenia School of Aristotle's and
Martin:doing introspection and walk to talk as we often say in business.
Martin:So you're really doing that.
Martin:So thanks for this presentation, this excerpt
Martin:of your book and I'm very curious to read further along and also to continue to write my
Martin:own book.
Martin:So thanks for that.
Tünde:Thank you for feeling inspired.
Carin:So beautiful.
Carin:And I'm really curious about you guys
Carin:listening to us today and I have this feeling to be really authentic.
Carin:I wonder if you were curious all the time in the beginning until we get kicked off and had
Carin:the opportunity to listen to Tinder and her fantastic research and in her presentation she
Carin:didn't mention about all her education.
Carin:Please Tinder, tell us a little about what are
Carin:you educated in and what are you working with?
Tünde:So I am what am I educated in? Well, that's a good question.
Tünde:Let me just start at the end because as I said earlier that life is a salami, right?
Tünde:I'm coming towards the second half of the salami.
Tünde:So I like saying that each day we are using one slice of the salami.
Tünde:So I'm coming towards the second half of the salami, the end of the salami.
Tünde:And when I look back how I lived my life and what was it filled with and what I have
Tünde:learned and what I'm doing is I think what I am active in is I'm just fed up with power for
Tünde:me.
Tünde:And I know that earlier in my life I was
Tünde:concentrated on this, what I said earlier today, me business and how can I get further.
Tünde:And I and how can I and I and how can I secure my life and my family and eyes?
Tünde:It's so much fed into my existential fears and the mindset of scarcity rather than a mindset
Tünde:of abundance.
Tünde:And I think that today I hope that this is the
Tünde:way.
Tünde:But I feel that it's more about how can we
Tünde:also have fun? I mean, we already have competencies, we all
Tünde:have our skills and our education and valuable, all that, but we are here to be
Tünde:human beings.
Tünde:Are we really tapping into our humanity and
Tünde:really what, really tapping into the full potential of our humanity, of our existence
Tünde:while creating and being professional and building and having impact?
Tünde:Are we also having fun? Are we able to cultivate that inner child in
Tünde:us that we used to be when we were two, three years old?
Tünde:Can we connect with the laughter that the child was giving out when he or she was having
Tünde:fun? We love children and we are seeing them and
Tünde:how they are having joy and are free.
Tünde:Are we cultivating still this ascense in us
Tünde:that I like calling ascends this joyful ascense because that could actually energize
Tünde:us to do what we are doing anyways with a lot more impact.
Tünde:So that's what I'm doing right now is power away from me to power to other people.
Tünde:And then everybody can read up about my career.
Tünde:I have done a PhD in business and organizational management.
Tünde:I have done two masters, one in simultaneous interpreting, the other one in executive
Tünde:coaching.
Tünde:And then I have done a masters, also in
Tünde:coaching and consultation supervision.
Tünde:So it doesn't matter because it really doesn't
Tünde:matter.
Tünde:What matters for me personally is how can I
Tünde:pass on this learning? As you said today, what brought me into your
Tünde:world, Karen, is the depth of what we are doing, the width of what we are doing, the
Tünde:height of what we are doing, the richness.
Tünde:How are we paying attention to the legacy that
Tünde:we are leaving behind?
Carin:Thank you.
Carin:It's a joy to hear you.
Carin:And I like to honor you with your exams and your studies and that is part of you, so it's
Carin:a big part of you and the studies that make you able to have this view from the other side
Carin:of the salami.
Carin:Otherwise you wouldn't have the capacity to
Carin:see all these things and to brighten up people's mind and to make it even, as you say,
Carin:more fun, more sustainable, more narrow, more real, more action, more loose.
Carin:All these things is what I'm thinking about what professional coaching can really bring to
Carin:the table for leaders, for companies, for their employees.
Carin:What do you say about this, Tinder and Martin? Can you see what I see?
Tünde:I'm not sure if Martin would like to go first because I've had many monologues today
Tünde:here.
Martin:It's all good.
Martin:I see the opportunities, especially with the
Martin:podcasting 20 as I said and this value for value model.
Martin:What you could do so you could say Call to action and continue the conversation is to
Martin:download a new podcast app, for example, Fountain.
Martin:And then we'll add Tinder here to the split.
Martin:And then people can make clips of episode
Martin:highlights and share it and spread the good word.
Martin:So we'll probably come back to this area in this field and this topic.
Martin:And I like the essence that you talked about and especially good stuff, good stuff in life,
Martin:good life like salami and tea and other things.
Martin:And be a grownup child, you could say.
Martin:Also think about your ego.
Martin:Ego is I am in Latin and understand it.
Martin:And then again, that could be again, call to
Martin:Action to reach out to you, Tinder and Carring called Korrin Coach and you will find a slogan
Martin:for you.
Martin:Also, Tinder, to reach out to you and hear how
Martin:you could help in different ways or how I could help your self to read your book, to
Martin:participate in this project, check out your resources and so on.
Martin:That's what I'm thinking about.
Martin:So we will continue a conversation.
Carin:That's really nice to hear, because when you listen to a podcast, maybe you are
Carin:out walking around and we are taking more time this podcast episode, because it's so lovely
Carin:to have you here, Tinder, and to listen to your expertise.
Carin:And I'm thinking of the possibility to be inspired and to see, wow, Tinder, she did it,
Carin:I can do it.
Carin:Martin did it, I can do it.
Carin:Karen did it, I can do it and just go for it and see what happens.
Carin:That's something I think is the easy way of how can we play together, how can we make it
Carin:easier to get in contact with this wonderful energy?
Carin:And that's why I have had this in the podcast this autumn.
Carin:I've had this with a physical view and my customers view.
Carin:And as I said in the beginning, today you will answer what you see.
Carin:And I said that you saw something in the research about coaching.
Carin:Before we are going to wrap this podcast episode up, I'd like you to answer what I see
Carin:and also about the research, something about what you saw about the coaching thing.
Carin:Would you like to do that?
Tünde:Yes, very happy to do that.
Tünde:And before I come to that, I'm happy to just
Tünde:say one sentence around to answer the invitation, how what you said just resonated
Tünde:with us.
Tünde:And then Martin shared.
Tünde:And you know what? When I'm taking a deep breath and I'm thinking
Tünde:into my own body and what matters, because your podcast is also about what is real, what
Tünde:matters, really? I was just thinking what matters to me right
Tünde:now? We have spent 47 minutes together.
Tünde:What is it that matters to me right now from we're talking about time and how we're dealing
Tünde:with time.
Tünde:And I thought we're talking about presence and
Tünde:authoring and authenticity.
Tünde:So what if I had to sum it up and the way you
Tünde:were speaking and what resonates with me.
Tünde:I am absolutely fascinated by how the both of
Tünde:you were holding the space for me here today.
Tünde:The 47 minutes to come up spontaneously with
Tünde:whatever needed to come up and holding this space is actually and that brings me to
Tünde:answering the question that you had last night.
Tünde:Is that's what matters in coaching? How can we hold a space for someone that other
Tünde:someone that is visa v us, for him or her to discover their true potential, to tap into
Tünde:whatever is there, bring it out in a way that is inspired.
Tünde:It's the real them.
Tünde:It's their authentic self.
Tünde:It's their power in the time that is given to appreciate, to appreciate with joy and
Tünde:expansion and gratitude.
Tünde:Because that's what I'm standing right now.
Tünde:I think that if we what coaching has brought to me in my life is a deep sense of expansion,
Tünde:self leadership, a lot of self leadership that pulls all the threats of presence,
Tünde:authenticity, power, time management, relationship management, brings it all
Tünde:together in a beautiful cobweb a carried by crowned actually by a deep sense of gratitude
Tünde:to life to everybody who is surrounding me.
Tünde:Even that tree in front of me is going to feel
Tünde:so grateful that I can look at it and I can take in its fullness, you know, this power
Tünde:because it seems that it inspires me the same way as you are inspiring me.
Tünde:It's holding the space for me the same way as you are holding.
Tünde:And I think this is what coaching has brought to my life, this self leadership that brings
Tünde:that feels to happiness, simple happiness about everything that is happening to me right
Tünde:now.
Tünde:So thank you guys for holding the space so
Tünde:beautifully for me to be able to bring up whatever needed to come up.
Tünde:Because it was not orchestrated, right?
Carin:No, it wasn't.
Carin:And it's beautiful that you brought in the
Carin:tree because I was going to ask you what the tree is telling you right now.
Tünde:So there is space.
Tünde:It's giving me spaciousness in that space.
Tünde:And that's different because we all have space.
Tünde:You can have small space or large space, but even in a small space, you can feel a lot of
Tünde:spaciousness, which is a totally different thing.
Tünde:So you can feel big even in a small room.
Tünde:And that's what I'm feeling that this tree is
Tünde:passing on to me right now, both space and spaciousness.
Tünde:Because the tree doesn't have a lot of garden.
Tünde:It has enough space, but not enough space for
Tünde:the height and the bigness that it has.
Tünde:So it's really taking its spaciousness.
Tünde:And that's probably what I can pass on to people to encourage us to let's take up our
Tünde:spaciousness, no matter how big or small the space is that we find ourselves in rather
Tünde:seeing the limitation in that small space that we are in as leadership.
Tünde:We sometimes say that, oh, I don't have the power, I don't have the means, I don't have
Tünde:the support.
Tünde:See that there is the support, see the
Tünde:spaciousness in that small space, the limitations that you have because nature is
Tünde:doing the same thing.
Carin:Exactly. And I know that Martin, he wonders sometimes I have told my followers on
Carin:Instagram, for instance, why I have had so many nature pictures and flowers and so on,
Carin:and you just gave me the answer.
Carin:There is a natural thing in the nature and
Carin:beauty going on coming back live and be beautiful and stay beautiful in every stage of
Carin:your life.
Carin:As I often take pictures of flowers that are
Carin:almost gone.
Tünde:Yes. To have that grace that flowers have, that nature hasn't carried, it doesn't
Tünde:matter if it's raining or hailing or the wind blows, the flower is gracefully there.
Tünde:Yes.
Carin:Understand the circumstances, the all sphere and the omnisphere, they relate to it
Carin:very easily.
Carin:And you guys, you listeners out there, we have
Carin:been expanding today with the time and with the new language and everything, and all of
Carin:you have really given me so much inspiration.
Carin:So I'm thinking in a new way, and I'll try to
Carin:put it on paper because I've got so many ideas coming up from this conversation without
Carin:hearing you out there listening to us, but I know that you are there.
Carin:So that's given me so much energy to try to express what I find today and give it back to
Carin:you.
Carin:But you need to give me some time because I'm
Carin:busy right now.
Carin:And Martin, we are going to sum this up and
Carin:Tinder, you and I, we will have something interesting on the 9 November.
Carin:Isn't it like that?
Tünde:Yes, the 9 November is we are running a live event on the light and shadow of
Tünde:authenticity.
Carin:Yes.
Tünde:So we are inviting it will be on LinkedIn, but we are going to share the link
Tünde:to a zoom room for you.
Tünde:And what is particular about this event is
Tünde:that we really want to look into the depth, the entire scope, the width, the height, the
Tünde:breadth of authenticity, but not just hailing the positive aspects of authenticity, but
Tünde:looking into the shadow sides of it to create a more complementary image of and make it more
Tünde:useful for people.
Tünde:Because sometimes people are afraid of being
Tünde:authentic because they mistake it for oh, I have to share how I'm feeling.
Tünde:No, you don't have to.
Tünde:So to feel more comfortable and use it in
Tünde:their leadership and also in coaching with more how to say with greater stability and
Tünde:confidence.
Carin:Yes, really? For whom?
Carin:What are the listeners who will come to this place and join us?
Tünde:Well, ideally, if there is any such thing as ideal, as if leaders could allow
Tünde:themselves to mingle with coaches, and if coaches could allow themselves to mingle with
Tünde:leaders and really come without any preconceived ideas around.
Tünde:Is this the space for me? Come and discover what is there for you in
Tünde:that space with joy and see it as an opportunity to learn from coaches and the
Tünde:coaches, to learn from leaders in what ways authenticity can be relevant, both from the
Tünde:light side and the shadow side.
Carin:And what time will it be?
Tünde:Oh, yes, I think the timing is, but correct me if I'm wrong, it will be from 07:00
Tünde:p.m..
Tünde:Vienna time for 90 minutes, I think, if I'm
Tünde:not mistaken.
Carin:Is it at 06:00 p.m.
Carin:Website?
Carin:Oh, well, 06:00 p.m..
Carin:To 730, I think.
Tünde:Okay.
Carin:In the evening.
Tünde:In the evening, yes.
Carin:And we have had one of these events, and this time we will be very more interactive
Carin:with you guys, and we will not have so many slides and really be careful about how we have
Carin:the moments together, don't we, Tundra?
Tünde:Yes. So we learned from the first event, and we very much appreciate the
Tünde:feedback and we're absolutely open to experiment.
Tünde:Actually, this time, give the space for a conversation, create a space for some
Tünde:conversation so that we can learn also from your needs.
Tünde:What is it that you would need in terms of greater authenticity and how do you perceive
Tünde:the light and the shadow side of authenticity? So that's absolutely going to be the format is
Tünde:going to be different.
Carin:Yes, yes.
Carin:I wanted to bring that out.
Carin:And Martin, what do you hear about this and what would you like to say?
Martin:It's positive with a positive feedback loop that you got there.
Martin:And that Podcasting 2.0 could help with that.
Martin:And also helping coaching sway post and
Martin:everyone individuals involved in this field.
Martin:It could be organization, it could be leaders.
Martin:And as Corey had been participating in podcast ICS Coach podcast.
Martin:Yes.
Martin:So I see opportunities there if you are
Martin:willing, if you are brave and just do it.
Martin:So at the ending there, and I will take a
Martin:picture of a tea plant and try to illustrate our conversation.
Martin:Here my own grown up tea plant that is really struggling, but it's getting there, and it's
Martin:flowers and it's a nut and it's the leaves and it's striving for the sun and it's getting
Martin:water and so on.
Martin:And it's a valuable thing for me because it's
Martin:the fruits of your labor and so on.
Martin:And then you get the very delicious beverage.
Martin:This one will not be so much tear.
Martin:It's more like a beautiful thing with that
Martin:tinder.
Martin:We're in cyberspace, so they could continue
Martin:the conversation.
Martin:We will add that in the show notes.
Martin:But do you want to at least tell one source in cyberspace where you are at.
Tünde:Cyberspace? Oh, God, yes.
Tünde:You will find me with Karen in her space.
Tünde:You will find her in my space.
Tünde:You will find me on YouTube.
Tünde:You will find me on LinkedIn, because I also
Tünde:like working in a focused way.
Tünde:So I don't think that if we disperse our
Tünde:attention, we are all over the place.
Tünde:This is going to help anyone.
Tünde:So I like it a focus.
Tünde:And you will find me on LinkedIn.
Tünde:You will find me on my website, Tinderus.com.
Tünde:You will find me an integrative presence,
Tünde:which is the website that is inviting both leaders and coaches to get trained to kill up
Tünde:in their presence.
Tünde:So that's actually what I would like people to
Tünde:go to first.
Tünde:Check out the integrative presence website
Tünde:because that's what we were talking about today in the first place.
Tünde:Presents.
Tünde:Presence presents.
Tünde:So if you are interested in skilling up, guys, that's the place to go.
Tünde:And then have a conversation with me.
Tünde:So I don't like cyberspace, I like real space.
Tünde:Come and meet me for 30 minutes and let's talk.
Carin:And please tune.
Carin:I know how it is when you say this website, it
Carin:goes fast and maybe you don't have the pen.
Carin:So where should they meet up with you on int
Carin:once again?
Tünde:So they can link up on LinkedIn? Definitely.
Tünde:Because then you can follow all my activities there.
Carin:Yes.
Tünde:On YouTube you will find all my video material on the website www.tinder.com.
Tünde:You will find everything about my past, my present and my bloggings, my articles, my
Tünde:publications, presentations, etc. And then, of course, www.integrativepresence.com.
Tünde:You will find a way to sign up for a conversation if you want to meet up to talk
Tünde:about presence and it's relevant for your field, beat a coach or a leader, it doesn't
Tünde:matter.
Carin:Yes, that's really good.
Carin:The integrative.
Tünde:Yes, Martin.
Tünde:Thank you.
Carin:So they find you and you find me at Vivierincoachbungtasia Se and on LinkedIn.
Carin:And there will be a blog post on this as well.
Carin:And I hope to get some nice pictures from you,
Carin:Tinder.
Carin:I hope to have this film from you with a
Carin:wonderful tree together with you.
Carin:Maybe I can have a cut from that one or a
Carin:picture of it and of you, Martin.
Carin:So we will close this podcast soon and I
Carin:wonder if there is something you need to say more, something that you felt that I would
Carin:like to say this as well.
Martin:It's all good.
Carin:Do you have something?
Tünde:Yeah, you know what? It felt so good not to take myself too
Tünde:seriously today, so being serious, but not take myself seriously today and to allow
Tünde:myself to just be and that's what I would like to pass on to people.
Tünde:Guys, stop taking yourself too seriously and life is going to be a lot.
Tünde:They all will be good too, as Martin is saying.
Carin:So hopefully that's nice.
Carin:And as you guys who used to listen to us.
Carin:You know that I have a travesty on the Hill Street Blues in Swedish spawn on Upper Hill
Carin:Street and I wish to encourage all of you to get loose and have a really good time and go
Carin:out in the world and make it a little bit more beauty.
Carin:A little bit better and a little bit with more fun.
Tünde:Goodbye. Goodbye.
