Brilliant TED Talk: “Everyday Leadership”

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

Enjoy! Well worth 6 minutes. It is not about behavioral integrity directly, but it is powerful about leadership… and I suspect it is a mechanism that ultimately promotes integrity.

Be the Guy

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

This may be a re-post — but it is a story worth repeating. My friend and colleague Kevin Basik has been involved in leadership training for Air Force at the Air Force Academy, The Citadel, and nationally for Air Force ROTC. When he teaches, he tells the following wonderful story. _________________________________________ I was a young [...]

Writeup in The Daily

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

The Daily is sending reporter Justin Rocket Silverman on a cross-county expedition to find the best, the boldest, and the strangest our nation has to offer. It’s a great summer road trip – and you’re invited to ride shotgun. Buckle up, stay safe, and enjoy America! WHERE’S ROCKET NOW? Episode 1: Firewalking Ithaca, N.Y. [...]

March Firewalk Rocked

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

The March 12 firewalk at Foundation of Light was another extraordinary event. Eyes shone as participants realized more and more of their personal power. Larry Bear Watts brought a glass walk that we did as a special treat. Nobody hurt. The “pings” of the glass breaking underfoot as one slowly steps across are really striking [...]

Firewalk Heroes

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

The women this is about asked me to print their actual names. To say they gained courage from their firewalk workshop experience is a major understatement. About three weeks before my October firewalk, I received this email: Hello, My name is Pamela. A while ago, my daughter Cheyenne read an article about your classes. She seemed very interested [...]

Another Amazing Firewalk

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

I ran another firewalk last night. It was incredible. Around 20 people again — a couple drove up from NYC, five people came from Waterloo, an hour and a half from here. A mother and daughter who called from a shelter. All walks of life, all looking for a shot of courage to face upcoming [...]

The most brilliant video I have seen in a long time…

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

20 minutes, but totally worth it. It is about love and vulnerability and joy and living. And it is incredibly well presented. Thank you to Charles Feltman for forwarding it to me. As you watch this… please, help me figure out how behavioral integrity fits with this incredible work.

‘Nuff Said

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

Credit to my friend, colleague and future coauthor, Charles Feltman for finding this one.

It is All in How You Show Up

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

How you choose to show up. I have delayed writing this article for several years. Maybe because this principle is so important that I do not want to screw up its exposition. Maybe because it is so baldly accountable a stand that it terrifies me. I know that is true. Maybe it is because I [...]

August Firewalk

Tony Simons, Ph.D.

I led another firewalk last night, August 20. Despite life being painful right now — some personal loss I prefer not to go into on the blog — I rose to the occasion and a larger crowd than last month was really served by the experience. Unlike other walks, many people in this group wanted [...]
