Becoming The InfluentialMe

Life (and working life) is a series of events that lead to another series of events. Sometimes the result or impact is something negative.

In this week's podcast I'm sharing the power of owning up to your mistakes and how that can release you from office politics, and from emotional resentment at work.

It still blows my mind that after over a decade in the workforce, I'm still talking about the B word.

If you've experienced bullying at work, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I have news for you. Bullying doesn’t have to be a long series of incidents, sometimes it’s a one of thing and I want to arm you with insights on how to deal with it now and in the future, but also help you to make sense of it if it happened to you in the past.

I can hand on heart say almost everyone makes this ONE MISTAKE and it only dawned on me to share it and help people stop making it, because I did a mock interview with a client and it was a train wreck and after she changed this one thing, she sailed through the process. Find out what it is.

Let me know what you think.

Has summer got you thinking about your escape plan?

Are you dreaming up ideas about setting up on your own, sleeping in and living an appraisal free life?

Well emergency stop! There are a few things I am grateful my peers and mentors warned me about, before I made the (not so big) leap.

I'll be honest this episode has so many ‘buts’ it belongs in Calabasas, but I wanted to give a little bit more of an insight into the less glamorous side of the business. It’s definitely one to watch because it is the truth that not enough people share.

(Good) Leaders are Readers and in my career to date I haven’t met anyone who has disproved this. 

Ideas If you’re looking for inspiration, here’s a little list of some phenomenal books we’ve read in The Readers To Leaders Book Club and also  some books I’ve loved this year. 

I also went all in and indulged in some non-fiction items too…I know …crazy! But all work and no play and all that.

Have you missed out on something because you were waiting for the perfect moment?

This week’s episode, I’m talking Jean Robert Reznik, former CEO of Accor, ClubMed and many other prolific businesses. 

This interview almost didn’t see daylight because I’m on holiday and in my swimsuit and I thought it wasn’t the “perfect moment”, even though Jean Robert insisted that it was.

There’s a great story behind how I got to interview a senior leader whilst I’m in my swimming costume and let’s just say perfection was on holiday that day.

Last week I ran a small seminar with just over twenty women and I asked them 'Mr & Mrs' style questions about themselves, the questions were fairly basic  and though some were deeper  than others, the universal thing was that everybody struggled. 

We spend so much of our lives considering our thoughts on others, we rarely take a step back to consider who we are, what we want and what we need in the long term. Knowing this is the basis of any kind of leadership and/or success. 

This weeks podcast is interactive, I'm asking questions for you to answer, for yourself . So here's your chance, to spend thirty minutes on you. The key is to answer these quickly and if you don't know the answers straight away, then move on to the next question.

Listen and be inspired by Claudene's story as she went from frustrated to two job offers on the same day.

"It was almost as if I wanted other people to do things for me. I had to take my power back and do it myself. I wasn't waiting for people to give me things, (they) helped me to do things. I knew, I know I have to do it myself."

Get your career unstuck and have options in a world that seems to be limiting them.
