David Taylor-Klaus is a brilliant linguist who greatly inspires me. Before founding DTK Coaching, David was CEO of Digital Positions, an internet strategy and web development organization he co-founded. Despite guiding executives to become aware of how values can impact growth, David realized that he wasn’t consciously living his life as an entrepreneur, business partner, father, and husband. This insight ultimately led David to found DTK Coaching, through which he reconnects entrepreneurs and senior executives with their families.

Today, David and I explore what it means to live and lead with the head and the heart. We discuss how money can distract us from the things that are important to us and how we can reconnect with our hearts by going deep with our values. David shares the story of how he discovered his life’s work and what it means to be a heart-centered leader. We also discuss what “bully values” are and emphasize the power of language to reflect and create how we think of the world.

“There’s knowing in one’s head and knowing in one’s heart. Connect with both, so you don’t enter a boxing ring with one arm tied behind your back” - David Taylor-Klaus

This week on Life in the AND:

Getting caught up in the human doing and away from human being Woo-woo spiritual coaching and how David helps entrepreneurs reconnect with their families The importance of reconnecting with the heart first and how our mind blocks our connection with the heart David’s story, the undercurrent to his life’s work, and how he discovered that he needed to reconnect with his heart The isolating power of entrepreneurship and what makes an empowered environment conducive to change What it means to be a heart-centered leader Money as an agreed-upon fiction and how it gets in the way of letting the heart drive impact Time, community, family, spirituality, and other currencies that truly measure our success How values can connect us to what truly matters What aspirational, competing, and bully values are and how you can make values work for you Value conflicts in our political divides and how recent events amplified our need to question what’s important Words create worlds and how the power of AND creates possibility The ability of language to let us see and create how we think The impact of knowing in your heart and how it’s different from knowing in your head
