Description

I'd love your feedback, send me a message

Do you ever pause to consider how the desire for genuine connection guides your work and interactions?

 In this episode of the Simple Reflections Podcast, Nikon Gormley joins me for an honest exploration of authenticity, intuition, and the courage to serve others – not from a place of perfection, but with genuine presence and curiosity.

 Our conversation circles around the idea that being “in service” isn’t just about expert advice or polished answers but about embracing moments of uncertainty and leading with honesty. Nikon, a seasoned facilitator and coach, shares his journey from structured roles in leadership training to a place where intuition and vulnerability shape every engagement. Together, we reflect on the subtle invitations we offer to others: to slow down, ask better questions, and trust that stepping into the unknown often brings the deepest learning.

 Have you ever found yourself letting go of your own expertise to lean into active listening or open-ended curiosity? What did you discover about yourself or the connection in that moment?
