Confidence Matters

What makes a good leader?  How important is confidence in leadership?
Can you be caring and vulnerable at the same time as being a strong leader?

This week I am discussing these questions with someone who I have worked with and regard as a great leader. Why? Because he has your back, he cares about your life and he wants you to succeed. 

We also talk about mindset and how to make the unrealistic become possible just by believing in yourself.

Adrian Ball has spent the majority of his working life in leadership roles in financial services, and more recently moving to education. Adrian's focus on authenticity and honestly being yourself around those that you work with has always been a key theme of his approach.

Loneliness is a state of mind that craves human contact but feels alone.  This is how Sebastian Bohorquez felt after leaving Colombia to start a new life in the United Kingdom. 
He was only 19 years old, beaten as a child by his mother, and now miles from home trying to find someone to give him the love he needed. But this only led to more hurt when a partner cheated on him.
Sebastian joins me in this week's episode to talk about how he changed his situation and  is now using his pain to help others deal with stress in their lives.

J. Lynn was an average working mom when a series of life-altering events inspired a sudden shift in her world. Over a nine-month period from June, 2019 until March, 2020, J. Lynn experienced a breakdown in her marriage, ongoing postpartum complications,  Aa medical diagnosis for her baby, and an autism diagnosis for her toddler.

She then was in a major car accident, resulting in corrective surgery and a lengthy and difficult recovery.  And all of that was capped off by a global pandemic. 

To cope with the stress J.Lynn found herself under, she started a daily meditation practice and studied mindfulness, developmental behaviour, neuroscience, mindset, and the psychology of relationships.

J.Lynn joins me to talk about her recovery and how she uses her knowledge and experience to help other parents.

Until the beginning of  2023, Saskia Greiner was employed as a Sales Manager in the IT industry with 13 years of experience.  After gaining a leadership position at the end of 2022, Saskia thought she had landed a dream role. She was wrong. Although she loved the leadership role, the environment she found herself in did not feel right at all. She was unhappy, so she left.
Saskia left her well-paid job without anything else to go to. Something many of us  would not have the self-confidence to do.
Saskia joins me today to talk about why and how she made this decision and what comes next.

Hassan Al -Shohaty is a successful investment advisor with over 15 years of experience in his field. But despite his professional accomplishments, he struggled with mental health challenges, which he feels stemmed from society's expectations of masculinity.  In March 2022, Hassan had to self-isolate for 2 weeks when he contracted Covid. Already suffering burnout, Hassan saw the opportunity to work on the one thing in his life he felt able to change - his mindset. 

The book Hassan mentions is 'Solve for Happy' by Mo Gawdat
The podcast Hassan mentions is 'Diary of a CEO' with Steven Bartlett

Kuljeet Jagdev has worked in the food safety field for 32 years and is a scientist by profession. She loves getting to know people and where her role as a food auditor can often  appear scary to those being audited, Kuljeet has found her own way of building rapport.
As a child though, Kuljeet was so shy she was afraid to speak to anyone. Even, one day at school when she was sick, she hid it rather than bring attention to herself.
This lovely, sweet lady joins me today to discuss her journey to finding self-confidence. 

Kuljeet can be best contacted via Linkedin - Kuljeet Kaur Jagdev
