How to Lead When They Are All So Damn Judgmental

Everyone’s judgmental at one time or another, but we can learn to better handle criticism and negative attitudes. As we shift from being reactive to being able to respond more thoughtfully, we can live and lead more consciously, with more grace, empathy, and wisdom.

In This Video

In this video, we explore the challenges of being judged and how to shift from being reactive to living and leading consciously. When we feel judged, our instinct may be to defend ourselves, but this often leads to negative consequences for both ourselves and those around us.

By understanding the steps that trigger our reactions, we can learn to listen and respond thoughtfully, separating others' judgments from our own unresolved pain. This enables us to receive feedback as valuable insights for personal growth and leadership development.

Embracing a neutral space and recognizing that others' opinions are about them, not our whole being, empowers us to lead with clarity, wisdom, and compassion.

  • What drives you to become defensive when receiving criticism?
  • What is it within you that allows you to be at your best when receiving criticism?

  • I forget Bodhi is at the other side of the planet – he is truly with me when we work together.

    Lisbet Hjort Author, Awakening Mentor, Human Resources Manager Copenhagen, Denmark

    There is a before and an after regarding my work with Bodhi. Before working with Bodhi for many years I experienced a life with a lot of struggle, pain and resistance, both in my private and my business life. Today I experience a life with joy, love and peace – even amidst the challenges of life. I’ve never actually been with him in person – but I sense his energy, his warmth and love in our work. I forget Bodhi is at the other side of the planet – he is truly with me when we work together.

    Bodhi is a gift in the world – he can work on many levels which means that you can work and grow on many levels too. I will always be very grateful that we connected and I highly recommend Bodhi to everybody that really wants to live a life in freedom.

    Bodhi has exceptional wisdom and practical knowledge, always applied with a gentle heart. I learned ways of "being" that allow me to enjoy my life, heal my pain, and be peaceful during heated circumstances.I highly recommend Bodhi as a teacher of teachers.

  • It was my sessions with Bodhi that helped me to heal my most self-destructive patterns.

    Kirstin Nielsen Partner Relations Manager, Aarhus BSS Career Højbjerg, Denmark

    Bodhi is a fantastic teacher and coach, and I’m so thankful for working with him. Though I’ve worked with coaches and therapists over the last 10 years, it was my sessions with Bodhi that helped me to heal my most self-destructive patterns. Now I feel very blessed that my life flows. Bodhi is a very warm and humorous person, and I always get amazing insights during our sessions.

    As a coach I had primarily been using a very result-oriented model with a great number of people in Europe. After meeting Bodhi I learned to act from truth and I feel so much more present with my clients. As a result, my business has expanded naturally without any other effort than just being able to use what I’ve learned from Bodhi with my clients. He makes a great difference for so many people.

I would unhesitatingly recommend Bodhi and his work to any friend in need. The truth is within us, but it is a joy and a great relief for me to have found a teacher who has been able to so quickly put me in touch with that inner truth and its liberating powers.
