Summary

Personal growth is a deeply interconnected journey that is shaped by our relationships, the communities we build, and the ways in which we communicate. The significance of these elements cannot be overstated. They not only nurture our development but also provide the emotional and intellectual foundation that allows us to grow into the best versions of ourselves. At the heart of this journey is the concept of community, which serves as a pillar of support, inspiration, and accountability. Join Allan Knight and Anika Jackson in this Zen Power Podcast as they explore how to create environments that promote lasting change and growth.

0:04.9	Welcome to the Zen Power Hour. My name is Alan Knight, and as a former Zen monk, I've discovered that ancient wisdom truly holds the key to modern transformation.
0:15.5	And I'm Monica Jackson. Together, we're bringing you the tools and techniques you need to live a more fulfilling and successful life.
0:23.6	Join us as we explore insights that will literally revolutionize both your personal and professional relationships.
0:37.1	Alan, one thing we've been talking about a lot is the power of community and how important
0:42.6	it is to have people to speak to, to bounce ideas off of, to commiserate with. And I know that
0:50.1	you have some really good and engaging thoughts around this. So I'd love to hear a little bit
0:54.9	about that today. Well, I'm really, I'm really happy you're bringing up this point, and I'll tell you
0:59.9	why. When I designed the Zen Power program, the nine steps, as you know, the first seven steps

1:41.9	we have with ourselves. Then step eight, as you know, has to do with our communication skills. Because no matter how good we feel
1:49.1	inside, we still need to connect with people both professionally and personally. So things like
1:55.8	listening skills and clarity of thought and creativity and understanding personality types and being bold and
2:04.3	assertive and being compassionate and all those things, you know, have to be there. And so we learn
2:09.9	all kinds of communication skills. But then number nine was all about the power of what we'd call, let's call it Zen Zone Circles,
2:20.2	or Zen, I still haven't come up with the proper term.
2:23.3	Why?
