Warts and all of Threelancing - with Jenny Stallard
In Pursuit of the Better You
02/28/22 • 34 min
With special guest Jenny Stallard, where we discuss Jenny's idea of the 'threelancer' - how she's fallen in and out of love with freelancing and has at time been lured back to 'proper' jobs but now freelancing is for keeps.
We talk about the joyous and not so joyous parts of freelancing and working for yourself and how you can possibly be 50/50 in your career.

Holding up the mirror with self awareness
In Pursuit of the Better You
01/31/22 • 25 min
In this episode, we explore self-awareness.
The theory of self-awareness, developed by Duval & Wicklund, 1972, states that - it's based on the idea that you're not your thoughts - you are the thinker which is separate from your thoughts.
We look at this theory and talk about how we can use it to develop our thinking, feelings and behaviour in everyday life.

You're not a manager, so what you say doesn't matter! 😱
In Pursuit of the Better You
03/11/24 • 21 min
This episode explores a common theme in leadership coaching for Becki and Fay - "I'm not a manager, so what I say doesn't matter!"
Is this something that's true for you?
Do you feel that your voice doesn't matter in a room? That your views aren't valid?
As we explore this, we wonder if it's a cultural issue - or, what's in a title?
This impacts people in terms of their frustrations, development, innovation, building relationships, and fostering leadership...
