Authentic Living

Quote: “In the survey that we did, the very great majority of organizations don’t have a formal approach to enabling their senior leaders to leave well and therefore create the space for new leaders to arrive.” Oliver Johnston

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/senior-leadership-with-oliver-johnston/.

Senior leaders work hard to claim their place in the company, but how do they know when it’s time to let someone else take over the reins? No one is given a best-before date, so how are they supposed to know the best time to transition into an encore career or retirement? Senior leaders can step out too early, and they can step out too late. Getting it just right isn't as easy as it might seem. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top, Oliver Johnston, to share his ideas and expertise on offboarding and the support that may be required for this significant career and life transition.

Oliver is the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top Team. Stepping Out is a specialist coaching practice that helps senior leaders step out from the executive suite successfully. In December 2020, Oliver retired from his professional coaching practice in order to concentrate solely on leading the Stepping Out practice. He is an accredited Stepping Out Coach and a highly experienced top team advisor and facilitator.

• Retirement is a relatively new concept. 2:00

Oliver was a highly successful business consultant with an international reputation in change, organizational and leadership development. He has extensive experience working in a wide variety of sectors, including accounting, banking and finance, academic and research, law, consulting, IT, pharmaceuticals, engineering & manufacturing, food & beverage, retailing, public service & administration, energy & utilities, transport & logistics. Oliver’s passion is supporting senior executives as they think, plan and execute their journey from the top team to the exit door and move on to new adventures.

As I offer executive coaching, I encourage leaders to reach out for guidance about presenting their authentic selves to develop an improved workplace for everyone with less conflict.

Quote: “When does the golden ladder become the golden hamster wheel?” Oliver Johnston

As senior leaders, we work hard to claim our place in the company and do our best to create a good environment for those whom we work with, but how do we know when it’s time to let someone else take over the reins? Senior leaders can step out too early, and they can step out too late. Getting it just right isn't as easy as it might seem. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome (all the way from Belfast, Ireland) the Founder of Stepping Out from the Top, Oliver Johnston, to share his ideas and expertise on offboarding and the support that may be required for this significant career and life transition.

This was such a great interview packed with so much interesting information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Be sure to tune in again next week for part II.

Quote: “We have to express our accomplishments and our roles to inspire others to be daring and to be courageous to bring our hearts and leadership to the table.” Wendelijn van der Leest

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/female-leadership-and-happiness-with-wendelijn-van-der-leest/

History books are full of facts and stories about men that have been written since the beginning of time, but what about their female counterparts? It has only been in the last few decades that much research has been done to showcase women in ancient history. To help bring some of their stories to light and discover their amazing accomplishments, we’re thrilled to welcome Historian and Female Leadership Expert Wendelijn van der Leest to share some of her knowledge about women in history and how they have paved the way for current female leaders.

Wendelijn is a historian, female leadership expert and mom of two living in the Netherlands. Although she holds degrees and Ph.D. work in both ancient and contemporary history, her heart and research lies at the intersection of female leadership and the themes of happiness and success in ancient Roman society. Her research on Roman women has inspired her own life and work, generating the courage to deal with internal and external limitations, communicate her accomplishments aligned to her heart and have trust in her network of support. 

Authentic Touch Points:

• Female leadership through the ages. 3:00
• Transformational qualities that women need. 8:00
• Women need to be each other’s allies. 12:00
• Happiness and female leadership. 18:00
• For the greater good. 22:00
• The 3 Key Learnings. 26:00
• The state of Sisterhood. 32:00

With ‘Geschiedenisschrijven’ (‘Writing History’) Wendelijn connects people and businesses to their magnificent histories, to utilize the knowledge, inspiration and solutions that so often lies dormant. Wendelijns motto: I am committed to history. Not just for what it reveals about the past, but for what it reveals about me, my community, my nation and the world at large. History is a tool to help us into the future.”

Quote: “It’s good to listen to the other side. Listening to people in an atmosphere of respect without judging them, no matter what they say, just listen to the other side and their perspectives.” Dr. Karyne Messina

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/blame-shifting-with-dr-karyne-messina/

We have seen a major shift in the political landscape over the last several years. It seems that we have become fairly desensitized to hearing outrageous statements made by those in power. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are thrilled to welcome back Dr. Karyne Messina to talk about populist leaders and how they systematically create chaos in order to divide the parties and keep everyone off balance.

Karyne is a licensed psychologist, psychoanalyst, and author. Her previous books include Misogyny, Projective Identification, and Mentalization: Psychoanalytic, Social and Institutional Manifestations (Routledge, 2019) and Aftermath: Healing from the Trump Presidency, Washington, DC (IPI Press, 2020). Her latest book, Resurgence of Global Populism: A Psychoanalytic Study of Projective Identification, Blame-Shifting and the Corruption of Democracy (Routledge Publishing, August 2022), offers evidence of how populists can wrest power and sow discord while eroding democratic processes in a slow decline towards authoritarianism.

Authentic Touch Points:

• Perpetuating a fear-based mindset. 2:00
• Finding common ground. 5:00
• How fear is affecting business. 11:00
• Trauma is ongoing. 14:00
• Karyne’s book intentions. 16:00
• Taking responsibility. 18:30

Karyne is a supervising and training analyst at the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis and is on the medical staff at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD, part of Johns Hopkins Medicine. Additionally, she maintains a full-time private practice in Chevy Chase, MD. Messina received a B.A. from Florida Atlantic University and then earned an M.A. and a doctorate from George Washington University. She is a member of the American Psychological Association, the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the Washington School of Psychiatry, the American Board of Psychoanalysis, and the International Psychoanalytical Association.

Quote: “As we move through our world, there are a lot of moving parts happening all around us all of the time that are not in our control and our highest ability to respond rather than react to things is to come from this state of rest and letting go.” Julianna Bootsman

This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Be sure to tune in again next week for part II.

There is so much talk lately about love in the workplace (no, not that kind of love), and we know that some are not yet willing to embrace the concept. There is a lot to be said about leading with your heart, and I discuss this in-depth in my soon-to-be-released book ROR: Return On Relationships. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Conscious Leadership Coach Julianna Bootsman to share her expertise on the topic of love as the foundation for leadership and business.

Julianna is the Chief Spiritual Officer who works with companies and leaders around the world. She builds and facilitates Conscious Leadership training programs that guide companies and leaders to live and operate from the foundation of love, with both heart and head working together to create outcomes where everyone thrives. As Chief Spiritual Officer, Julianna is a leader in human growth and cultural change, connecting the spirit of who you are to the spirit of what you do.
