Episode Notes

"Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life" (Susan David)

The discomfort is real and we have meaningful lives! Discomfort is serving a purpose and we are growing!

Today we chat Emotional Intelligence and Agility to support relevant skill building and confidence as we navigate the bumps in life and leadership. Emotional Intelligence is not a choice for great leaders. 

Like Susan David, my guest Jim Grant is a deep expert in Emotional Intelligence and Agility. They have worked and have a book together.  

 Some key takeaways from my chat with Leadership Development guru Jim Grant:

At home, work and in life in general we tend to either avoid giving/receiving feedback all together or we approach as a task to tick off our list without considering what we are really trying to achieve. The opportunity is to re-frame this and actually boost performance and development not just deliver a backward looking thought, emotion or fact with little impact.

Today I ponder... I  often get asked how I 'do it all', how do you work in a senior leadership capacity, travel, keep fit, have a social life, cook, stay connected and of course be a mum to four kids?! I bypass the 'doing it all' conversation and go straight to my home team.  

Teamwork starts at home and whilst that sounds cheesy, it makes all the difference when you consider what you can achieve and receive together. We have worked at this over many years, learning and challenging ourselves as we go. We now have a simple set of processes we follow to help us set goals together, considering our own individual and family needs as well as work, finances, community etc.  Annual wrap-up and reflection  Set intentions and goals together,  check-in weekly, support each other, stay aligned and flexible,  quarterly reviews.  

Getting on the same page to meet the needs of yourselves and your family does not just happen organically. Work at it to avoid resentment, dysfunctional patterns, and entrenched roles and responsibilities. If you have a better name for the 'Marriage Meeting' - let me know! And don't forget to 'plan for fun!'

Health and well-being sustains us in leadership and life. Yes organisations have a way to go to support women and men as they navigate health and life stages that impact careers and lives.  As individuals we also have work to do here to become more aware and empowered to support our own health and growth. 

Today I chat cycles, hormones and fertility with Lauren Curtain - Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner:

This for women and their men and is a conversation we will continue. 

One of my great hopes is that my 2 daughters won't learn the hard way about women's health like I did. I have learned so much on my journey through fertility challenges, childbirth, pregnancy loss, pushing through monthly cycle, finally being diagnosed celiac, having adrenal fatigue, chronic sinus issues, injuries and unexpected early peri-menopause. My eventual learning is to listen to my body and utilise the support of a few select "alternative" practitioners and not deferring to  traditional medicine only as it has let me down consistently.
