Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Are you over 50 years old, struggling to find work? Why do we assume older employees will add less value that younger ones to our organisations? Whilst it's a protected characteristic, there's still some views that to create a dynamic organisation, you need young people. What value do older employees bring to organisations in terms of culture and performance? Join Amrit as he shared his experiences in this week's podcast.

Every human being is an emotional creature - driven by emotions than logic. Yet somehow when it comes to work, we seem to abandon this knowledge, dealing with people in a very logical and rational way. Emotions matter yet we seem to be slow in equipping leaders and managers with the ability to emotionally connect with people. Join Amrit as he explores Emotions at Work in this week's podcast.

Many people have an expectation from leaders and managers when it comes to their experiences at work. Whilst leaders set the tone for the culture, much of what we experience of work can be managed by us, but we get caught up being subjected to other people's behaviours. How could you take control of your work experiences? Imagine the impact this could have. You won't be able to make systemic changes, but you could take direct control of your daily experiences. Join Amrit as he shared his thoughts on taking ownership of our work experiences.

Every one of us have suffered from procrastination and it's often a horrible feeling, ladened with guilt. What is procrastination and why do we suffer from it? How can we overcome this helplessness that so many of us can feel? This podcast is linked to the 'Driving Productivity' series of workshops that The Engagement Coach will be running, open to all, with the first focused on Time Management. Join Amrit in this week's podcast on dealing with procrastination.

Having had one week into the New Year, this is a perfect opportunity to review and reflect on our company cultures. What have we tolerated and what needs changing? Rather than waiting for an engagement survey to focus on our company culture, with this fresh perspective, how can we create truly great work cultures? Join Amrit as he shares his thoughts on this critical topic.

Have you ever used your holiday away from work to catch up on work? Many of us have often worked evenings and weekends to catch up, but as we face a recession, and organisations look to cut costs, could we be creating an environment perfect for Leavism? How can we tell if our teams are working too hard and using their personal time to play catch up, especially with obvious implications on burnout? Join Amrit as he explores this topic in this week's podcast.

No one would ever describe themselves as suffering from learned helplessness but when we learn to accept the negative situation around us is never going to change, whilst we may not choose to admit it, this is exactly what this is. It results in us no longer trying to make changes, as it is pointless. What can we do and is there ever any hope? Join Amrit as he explores this topic in this week's podcast

What's holding you back from being your best? Many of us know deep down we could be so much better than we are today, but we struggle to do anything about it. Some of us struggle because we want everything we be perfect. Others struggle because of a narrative or belief system we tell ourselves, and some of us struggle to commit to ourselves because we think there's nothing we've managed to commit to, in our lives. Join Amrit as he explores what can hold us back and how we can overcome this.

Have you ever had that feeling that something didn't feel right, only to find you were right but you didn't follow through on those instinctive feelings? As leaders, we are conditioned that everything must be data-driven, tangible and we often ignore those gut feelings or intuition, yet it serves an important purpose. Our brains and bodies are processing information at a phenomenal rate, leading to these feelings and thoughts, that we find hard to articulate or explain, and therefore we ignore. When something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't, and our brains and bodies have picked up on this, without us realising. Combining this knowledge with an awareness of our personal values, can help improve our decision-making. Join Amrit as he explores Intuitive Leadership in this week's podcast.
