July 30, 2019 Episode 4 - Work-life balance: does it exist? (plus the art of saying 'no')
The notion of 'work-life balance' has long been held as something to achieve and attain. But does it really exist? And if so, how can you make it exist for you? We delve into the world of integrators vs segmentors, attention management as opposed to time management, the four quadrants for prioritisation, and the art of saying ‘no’.

July 02, 2019 Episode 3 - Do you care about what other people think of you?
What are the stories you are telling yourself about your confidence and self-worth? Do you seek validation externally? How do you give and receive criticism? We look at the cognitive behaviours that we learn during adolescence and how that impacts us in the workplace, the mechanism of the feedback loop, and how to constructively give feedback :)
