🌈🌱💥Leading from the FIELD OF ONENESS with Tom Fortes Mayer🌈🌱💥

What changes when leaders recognise that they are not separate individuals competing within a mechanistic world, but expressions of a deeper, intelligent field of consciousness? In this second conversation on Meta-Conscious Leaders, Tom Fortes Mayer describes reality through the metaphor of the ocean and the wave. Each of us is distinct, yet never separate from the greater whole: “We are of the field of oneness. We are of that intelligence, and we can tune into that.” For Tom, this is more than a spiritual philosophy. It informs his practical work with entrepreneurs and business leaders, helping them recognise the unconscious conditioning that shapes their decisions, relationships and organisations. His provocatively titled new book, \*Don’t F\*ck Up Your Life\*, explores the survival rules formed in childhood that can lead even highly intelligent and successful people to undermine what they consciously want to create. Tom argues that these patterns cannot be overcome through greater discipline, achievement or an internal war against ourselves. They need to be understood, met with compassion and reintegrated. When leaders undertake this work, their leadership begins to emerge from a different inner ground: less driven by fear, inadequacy and the need for recognition, and increasingly shaped by presence, truth, love and joy. Greg and Tom explore how leaders can recalibrate their practice by listening more deeply to the unconscious, discerning between egoic impulse and what is genuinely seeking to emerge, and sensing whether a decision carries contraction or expansion. **Who is Tom Fortes Mayer?** Tom Fortes Mayer is a therapist, author, speaker, adviser to company boards and creator of the FreeMind Process. In his twenties, Tom underwent a life-changing awakening experience of happiness, connection and oneness that overturned his previously sceptical view of spirituality and set him on a lifelong exploration of the human condition and transformation. Today, he works with entrepreneurs, senior leaders and organisations to uncover the unconscious motivations operating beneath behaviour and decision-making. His approach combines psychology, behavioural science, spiritual insight, intention, music and direct work with the unconscious.
