#259:  It’s Always in the Being, Not the Doing with Renee Dineen

Today we are speaking with TedX & Keynote Speaker, Best Selling Author, Organizational Psychologist, Leadership & Team Performance Coach Renée Dineen. Renee is a recovering workaholic and “doing” addict who left her executive-level leadership role in biotech to give herself a genuine shot at doing work that mattered most to her heart without sacrificing the rest of her life. What drives her today is the opportunity to reduce human and organizational suffering and equip people from all walks of life, to live with more purpose, joy and grace. 

 

As an international thought leader playing at the intersection of business, psychology and well-being, Renée travels around the world coaching and advising leaders and teams how to best navigate risks, challenges and opportunities while fueling the soul of the organizations and cultures they shape.

 

In 2020, Renée took her own story to TedX stage. Her talk titled ‘Authentic Inaction™: Undoing the Doing in a Do Crazy World’ is an account of her own trials and tribulations as a doing addict.  Her talk has already reached over 500K views and supports her mission to revolutionize the way we work, play & relate to one another and our purpose. In this episode we discuss:

1) Authentic inaction - the crippling dependency on ‘doing’ is triggering burn-out, damaging relationships, and is resulting in a loss of our sense of self. 

2) How being busy is honored, encouraged, and expected, so much so that what we do has become the definition of who we are. We put ourselves on a perpetual cycle of burnout until we learn to honour the inaction as being an important part of the process.
