69. How your quiet nature is your hidden leadership strength with Megumi Miki

05/22/20 • 32 min

Have you ever felt that your quiet nature is holding you back from being recognised for having what it takes to be a leader? In this episode, I invited Megumi Miki to join us here today to explore how your quiet nature is your hidden leadership strength, and how organisations can benefit from harnessing their hidden talent and uplifting their leaders’ effectiveness by using quieter approaches. Megumi is an author, speaker and consultant in leadership and culture, and the author of Quietly Powerful: How your quiet nature is your hidden leadership strength. In the uncertain, changing, global and inter-connected world, Megumi believes that the ‘alpha’ or ‘hero’ leadership style alone is outdated and inadequate. Quietly Powerful expands the definition of what good leadership looks, sounds and feels like and empowers quieter professionals and those outside majority groups to fulfil their leadership potential. https://www.linkedin.com/in/megumimiki/ https://www.megumimiki.com/ For more talent stack resources visit https://www.yishanchan.co/links

68. What matters to you in owning your future of work?

I started my podcast with a vision to share career stories usually shared over coffee about owning your future of work. Interesting stories about how people learn new skills to adapt their careers. Real stories about how people build portfolio careers alongside a 9-5. But I'd love to know if these topics are what you actually want? What would you like to hear more of from me? What kind of guests would you like to see more of on the show & what questions do you have for them? For a limited time only (as I have a 9-5 after all), you can book a 20 minute virtual coffee with me via Zoom to share what you're currently facing & what support you need from us in helping you own your future work. Look forward to seeing you soon! https://www.yishanchan.co/listeningtour

70. The questions that help you discover your competitive advantage

Stop worrying about the "what if.." Instead, ask more of "wouldn't it be amazing if..." and what struggle or sacrifice you're willing to tolerate in order to solve the problems you care most about. Your competitive advantage lies in your ability to find a problem you care about, addressing the things you asked yourself - “wouldn’t it be amazing if” and solving these problems in a way that you want to be remembered for. Don’t forget to check out episode 60 - where I share my favourite formula for getting the ball rolling on a big ticket goal, called the 24-7-1 approach.
