During this episode of A Richer Life, host Rich Weingart speaks with Jeff Snipes, who spent 16 years leading one of the largest United States corporate leadership development companies before selling the company in 2012. Jeff made a transformation in his professional life, becoming the Co-Founder and Chairman of Millennium School, Founder/Chairman/Board of Directors of Millenium.org, and the Founder and Chairman of Conscious Leadership and Education Foundation. We explore leadership, family, education and what is missing and what it means to be a ‘success’ and be in alignment. Episode Highlights: Rich shares three of the developmental frameworks from the Millenium Forum. Jeff has been drawn to both the entrepreneurial and educational paths. Jeff discusses the early breakthroughs that his leadership development company experienced. How willing were the executives to explore the parts of themselves that needed fixing? What did Jeff Snipes learn the most about himself in running the leadership company? What was the pivotal shift in Jeff’s life and leaving his executive role? What would be the cost of not listening to your gut feeling? Our human spirit is crying out to us to grow. Jeff Snipes talks about starting the Millennium School in San Francisco. Humans are constantly learning and adapting. How do self-care and well-being show up in the classroom between teachers and students? Millennium School doesn’t have grades. What are the elements that are adding pressure and anxiety for people? Parents need to be the change that they want their kids to take on. What would Jeff say to his 30-year-old self? What is he doing to live a richer life? Self-love is not a selfish act. 3 Key Points: Within each of us lies our unique true nature and our potential to be in service of all. Notice interconnection. Everything is interdependent. Recognize how each action affects another. Practice compassion. Compassion requires action. Strive to alleviate the suffering in ourselves and others.
