Unleashed, Unchained & Unapologetic.
03/28/24 • 21 min
This episode explores how many people manage their climb up their career ladder.
We discuss how
§ Morphing to match company values and rules can cause leaders to ‘lose themselves’.
§ Loss of self leads to uncomfortable compromises in values creating daily stress.
§ Leaders who lose themselves are less likely to progress or meet their potential.
We exlpore how to ‘reset’ your values and stand up as a leader; someone who it’s ‘easy’ to promote and who inspires those around them.
Finally, we pose four questions
1. Are you clear what your values and non-negotiables at work are?
If not, how will you define them and be clear on what they really are?
2. What are you tolerating at work, that’s out of line with your values?
3. What one action will you take to reset and reinforce your value system?

07/21/24 • 25 min
Today we explore why it is so difficult to change and what your options are when you need to change under stress.
We explore...

· The relationship between fear and change.
· Fixed habits, how you can change them and what that takes.
· Why the ‘comfort zone’ is a lot more uncomfortable than the discomfort of changing.
· How long it takes to change a habit.
We refer to two books

“Immunity To Change” by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey.
And discuss how understanding neuroscience of change gives you more options to make a change yourself.
And we pose these questions for anyone who wants to change
1. What are you tolerating that’s not working for you
2. What’s not working and how do I know – list this out to get clear.
3. What is making me unhappy or stressed?
4. What is my gut telling me I need to do to feel better?
5. What action will I take to change one thing that’s not working for me?
