Centered in the City

Our world is calling for more compassionate leadership. As technology speeds up and the rhythm of life creates more chaos, we need compassionate leaders to help lead the way with courage and care. Leaders also need compassionate training to feel resourced to prevent burnout and create a work culture of psychological safety, transparency and trust. Today on the pod, Janine Johnston and I explore compassionate leadership in more detail. We also discuss an upcoming training we are offering online through St Regis University's Anderson College of Business & Computing. Take a listen to the episode and let us know what resonates.

Janine supports leaders and young people in balancing aspirations and high standards with inner validation and motivational skills rooted in compassion.

On today's podcast I share from the "messy middle" of managing failed expectations. Expectations hurt, especially when you are someone like myself who has really high standards of self and others (hello perfectionist). On the podcast, I share a few steps and my process of how to manage expectations and be with the emotions that come along the roller coaster ride. Take a listen and share your takeaways with me on Instagram @OneWade.

Today's episode is a special request from a Centered in the City member. We all have self-talk. Sometimes it is really loud and bossy. Sometimes it is gentle and kind. Sometimes it is judgmental. Learning to navigate our self-talk is an essential practice for our well-being. I share a few frameworks and ways we can build awareness around our self-talk and work to sprinkling in more curiosity and kindness. Take a listen and share your takeaways with me @OneWade on Instagram.
