Psychology for Founders with Pathwise: Personality Styles, Being Present & the Evolution of Identification that Impacts High-Functioning Teams

The Pirate Pod

In slight a deviation from our norm, Todd Hollow-Bist joins the Pirate Pod from Pathwise Leadership (https://pathwiseleadership.com/), a graduate-level psychology program for teams and business leaders. Todd joins Keli (Arrington Capital) to discuss the importance of understanding personality styles and how they impact business leadership and team dynamics. Personality styles are not disorders but rather patterns of behavior that develop from a combination of genetics and environment and is an important foundation for self-awareness. The session dives into why being present in the moment helps founders to overcome challenges and function at a higher level - and how building the muscle of presence requires effort and can significantly improve personal and professional relationships. Being present and grounded in the present moment is essential for personal growth and effective communication.
Todd explains how our sense of identification changes as we grow and develop, from being connected to our bodies as children to identifying with our emotions and thoughts as we get older. Todd emphasizes the need to be aware of our bodies and the information they provide to stay grounded in the present. He also explores the impact of thinking about the future instead of focusing on the present and the importance of being present in team dynamics. Todd highlights the significance of understanding different personality types and how they interact within a team, and the benefits of diverse teams.
Pathwise Leadership was co-founded by Todd Hollow-Bist, MA, MED., and Chad Hattrup, Ph.D., to provide business leaders with uniquely effective programs to transform individual, team, and organizational behaviors through immersive exploration and practice in graduate-level psychology.
