Today’s interview is with the coolest CEO around; Guy Levy-Yurista of Synthace. Guy has had THE most awesome career ... from sommelier (very cool!) and being a real-life “Q” for the special forces, to global leader across startups to Fortune 500s, and everything in between.

I love Guy’s approach to work and life...

“Believe the impossible by breakfast; deliver the improbable by lunch.”

Personal growth; how curiosity can lead to awesome career decisions
The key life advice Guy gives to his team; the importance of being vs doing
The power of our imaginations; why we are our own biggest limit
How to make bold leadership transitions across industries
The lesson of the “scraped knee”; what we can learn from children
Leadership; discovering who you are as a leader and truly owning it
WWPD; what we can all learn from Captain Picard.....

Modern Leadership Is TOUGH; Tips On Navigating The Rollercoaster

Being a leader is TOUGH right now.

Complex - overwhelming - huge amounts of pressure.

Throw in organisational growth - change - virtual working - life, and it is no surprise that more leaders are more burnt out than ever before.

So, in this short episode we look at some of the insights that my recent podcast guests have shared that help them navigate modern leadership.

Reflecting on modern leadership, and why it can feel so uncomfortable
How do global leaders navigate the complexity of modern leadership?
- Getting comfortable with discomfort
- Having a strong support crew
- Building visions more powerful than our fears
- Embracing learning ... and curiosity
- Having work-life boundaries
The importance of making time to reflect and make a work-life audit

And, a gentle nudge from me to you....

Make time to reflect on all that you are celebrating so far this year, where you are getting stuck and what next.

Looking forward to hearing what resonates.

Hack Your Brain; Change Your Life

Hack your brain; change your life. I live by this!

We all experience stress during growth and change, it’s how we are wired. We all experience it differently, yet we all have good and bad reactions.

Being self-aware is an absolute MUST as a leader; however, what you do with this information is the game-changer.

As we progress our careers and grow our businesses, it is essential that we prioritise time for mindset work to ensure that our own brains are not the number 1 derailer or block we have.

Let’s face it, there are enough challenges and complexities out there as a modern leader, we shouldn’t be fighting against ourselves too. Right?

Today’s episode I share:

How I uncovered my de-railers, and how I navigate them.
Why this has been a game-changer for me in my career (and life probably too!)
Stories from a few of my leaders ... I love a story, don’t you know!
The importance of this for leaders to unlock potential and progress their careers
Some simple ways you can improve your own ability to navigate stress and growth

Let me know what jumps out to you from this episode.
