In this episode I talk about the ability to put yourself in the other person’s head when having an argument or a difference in point of view.

Being open to hearing and understanding the opposite view can be an excellent way to learn and an important step to resolving differences.

In this episode I talk about the importance of letting go and losing that huge attachment to projects and decisions you may make.

I always lived by the motto “If it’s to be, then it’s up to me”  but this isn’t always helpful for you and your leadership and you may need a different philosophy,

In this episode I talk about the importance of decluttering your mind for your leadership.

Did you know that your inner critic can take up to 70% of your thoughts?

Meditation can play a vital role in decluttering your mind so you can make better, clear decisions when you need to.

Often when we think we are listening deeply we are not actually doing this at all!

The paradox that I discovered is that the more you focus on trying to help people the more you are not listening deeply.

We can all struggle with that often very tricky job of delivering feedback. You may feel it is easier to say very little to preserve the relationship and avoid conflict. 

You may deliver feedback in a very blunt way that is upsetting and results in a very poor relationship.

I have discovered through my own inner critic a way of delivering honest feedback to others while still preserving the relationship and improving performance.

How we react in different situations is always interesting and we can do well to observe our thoughts and emotions at that moment and how it can affect how we react.

You can enrich your leadership style by helping others to go deeper and understand what is at play for them and how this might explain their emotional reactions.

In my early career my modus operandi was a focus on self, my goals and objectives.

While this served me well, I found that when I instead focused on what was important to the other person I enjoyed more success and better long term professional relationships.

On today's podcast I chat about the benefit of "letting go of control" and moving away from an either/or mindset.

When you let go of control in the right way and involve the team it can result in better outcomes and a stronger culture.
