Calm Edged Rebels

In this episode, our Calm Edged Rebels discuss what you can do to really take control of what you are doing and where you are going with your life.

In this busy and hectic world, it can be so easy to get caught up with the hype and trends and not be authentic to yourself. Do you have clear defining moments in your life that have shaped the way you carry yourself? Have you unpicked those moments to understand how they affect you now? Several useful tips are given, and a great discussion ensues between Jenni, Trudy, and Advita to help you understand and guide you forward.

Season seven! It is here! And this time, we have created a trailer for you to reintroduce yourself to us at Calm Edged Rebels.

Jenni is the Calm, Trudy is the Edged and Advita is the Rebels of Calm Edged Rebels!

Traditionally, in previous seasons, we talk about anything to do with business, leadership, communication, life, and everything from impostor syndrome to credibility to fear and trust, we've covered it all!

We spent a bit of time last year looking at what Calm Edged Rebels is all about and what we want it to be. In this season, you will find, we're much more focused on you as an individual, and how we can help you think about how you might want to live the best life for you.

In the final episode with Jenni, Trudy, and Advita, they ponder on how to live with uncertainty.

All our lives were affected by the pandemic, and we had to adjust to this concept and cope with this constant feeling of uncertainty. How did we do this?

This is a good conversation for the Calm Edged Rebels who can offer advice to people who are experiencing ambiguity and uncertainty, but also to think about where agility might come into organisations, the link to resilience, and exploring for our own experiences, not just with our clients or who we're working with. But how comfortable are we with uncertainty and ambiguity? And has that changed from the pandemic, where there was so much that was unknown that have, we naturally developed more of a resilience and therefore we are slightly more comfortable with the unknown.

Thank you for listening to season 6 of our Calm Edged Rebels podcast. We hope you have enjoyed this season and continue to keep listening!

In this penultimate episode, the Calm, Edged, Rebels challenge the phrase ‘rehumanize’ and the potential separation of personal and professional approaches when in an organisation.

‘What is your purpose’ is that a heavy question to answer? What motivates you at work? Do you feel empathy as a leader? How do we remain feeling human in a digital world?

What place does purpose and meaning have for someone who is trying to develop emotional intelligence? And that more human side? Do you think it has a place?
