Academic Authenticity with Anna

Do you allow yourself to show up as the professional that you are? Are are you actually still taking exams all the time, proving yourself… instead of improving yourself? Listen to this: raise your awareness and feel invited to show up as the badass professional that you are.

Freeing up is all about having choice, seeing options, knowing how to respond instead of react. Why would you want to look at your shadow in the process? Find out… and free up and get access to your unclaimed valuables and.. er… okay… your enexamined shame as well. Still: ‘we can find the best in us in what is bad in us.’ Listen to this!

Stopping something that is not working is not always easy. Especially in collaborating. Knowing how to relate to unfinished business is a game changer. Enhancing a relaxed “life position”, that’s what it is about. Listen and level up with me!

If you knew what perfectionism is in its core, you would never allow the Perfectionist behind your steering wheel during your creative processes of thinking and writing... And, no worries: we all have our specific preferences in self-defeating dynamics. Is this one your favorites? Listen and find out why you’ll think twice next time you’d like to get it all done perfectly...

Are you in... academia, or of... academia? Listen to this, find out why the distinction is important, and help create brave learning environments by helping yourself first. This time I am inviting you to become brutally honest about your daily behavior. What is your ‘Second Quadrant Stuff’, and how are you attending to it?

Take some time to slow down and dismiss yourself from your daily life in order to attend to whatever needs you to be in deep thinking and deep writing mode.

Get in touch with yourself. Non-judgmentally check-in with yourself. Take note of your body, feelings and needs. A wonderful manner of becoming emotionally literate.

With this episode you are invited to allow for the idea that you may be caging yourself with convictions... If you're totally honest with yourself, what is it that is keeping you out of flow? What is keeping you from following exactly that which brings you pleasure in your academic roles? Contraintuitively, you're not requested to step out of your cage as quickly as possible. Quite the opposite actually. In order to become articulate about your personal Terms & Conditions for optimal working conditions, let's start with what is keeping you from getting real about them up til now. Listen to this episode and let's figure out how to start working from your sweetspot, step by step.

What is the higher aim of investing in personal development as academic? Well... it’s about moving beyond your ready-aim-shoot mode, and transitioning to a more relaxed observe... choose... act... mode. It’s about slowing down to the extent that you’ll raise your awareness to the idiosyncratic manner in which you sabotage yourself. Is that ‘fun, yet profound’? Listen, and find out for yourself.
