Hey Psyche, how do I?

"A boss has the title. A leader has the people" Simon Sinek. Leadership is something that is still very misunderstood, particularly what actually goes into making someone a great leader. We can all recall in our careers, some great examples and equally bad ones of leaders. So what exact ingredients go into making the recipe for great leaders and how do we begin to start focusing and developing these, to become great leaders ourselves?

This week I'm joined by Best Selling Author of The Leadership Gap, TEDx speaker and Executive Coach Lolly Daskal.

Lolly and I will be answering this question of what a great leader, what we need to draw from within ourselves to lead, what are the biggest blockers to preventing people from becoming great leaders and how you can begin to develop your leadership skills, which will align you to becoming a great leader. This is for anyone, whether you're in a leadership position or not, who feels they want to inspire and empower individuals around them.

You may scroll your social media feed each day and see numerous posts designed to motivate and inspire you. You probably see the #motivation on a daily basis, but what does it really mean to be motivated? Mel Robbins says motivation is never there when you need it and this is down to the lack of understanding of what motivation is. There are myths of motivation that need clarity to ensure motivation is seen and used in the right way.

In this episode I'm joined by Success Coach and Writer Lisa Jeffs.

 

Lisa and I are going to be delving into the meaning of motivation; why people struggle with a lack of it at times, the myths surrounding motivation and how you can become more effective at understanding motivation and how to use it. Lisa will also be delving into her story of what she's learnt about herself along the way and what her intrinsic motivators are. If you are looking to increase your awareness of motivation, to truly understand it and how to utilise it, then tune in!

We are creatures of habit. We feel safe when we know what is going to occur is our daily life. When this feeling of security and the known is challenged by the perceived uncertainty and the unknown, we become uneasy and unsure of how we should react. Having the fear of change can have some strong negative impacts on our life, stopping us from exploring what we're capable of.

In the final instalment of Face Your Fears week, I'm joined by Founder of Mindful Talent and Executive Coach Alister Gray, Change Specialist & Head Coach at imachangemaker.com Andrew Tilling and NLP Practitioner and Coach Sarah Gregg.

Inspiration can occur at any point. We can be watching a YouTube video, talking to friends or have a eureka moment in the shower. This inspiration can lead us to starting something, whether that's a diet or launching a business. Great we've started, but how many times do you start something only to fall back into an old habit. Did you know 80% of new year's resolutions are broken by February! Our lack of consistency can make it hard for us to stay the course and can therefore sometimes lead us back to square one.

In this episode I'm joined by Sales & Leadership Coach Dee Mullin, Success Coach & Writer Lisa Jeffs and Sales and Career Strategist Christine Sarno.

They'll be sharing some great insights and ways of dealing with this fear of being consistent, how you can ensure you maintain what you have started,therefore creating the habits to support this. If you always find yourself starting something new, only to find yourself a few weeks or months later giving up on it, then tune in!

Do you have something you keep putting off? Something you think you need more time to research or know more about? Is this a common habit that you find occurs regularly. This habit of overthinking is common within many of us as our brains are wired to protect us from perceived danger and to survive. Therefore we can become trapped in our thoughts of all the reasons why we shouldn't do something, which can mean we miss out on opportunities and fulfilling our potential.

Today's episode focuses on this very fear of overthinking and I'm joined by Change Specialist & Head Coach at imachangemaker.com Andrew Tilling, Success Coach and Writer Lisa Jeffs and Sales and Career Strategist Christine Sarno.

This episode will provide you some actionable insights into dealing with the process of overthinking and how you can prevent yourself from getting caught in the trap of it. If you're constantly overthinking every scenario, putting things off, thinking what could go wrong, then tune in!

The fear of failing is a common reason as to why we never start something, whether it be a passion or a business. We're naturally fearful of the unknown, with our mind creating all the possibilities of what could go wrong and also the fear of how we'll feel at the end of this. It can be crippling this fear and it can also be damaging when we do have perceived failures occur in our life.

In the second instalment of Face Your Fears week, I'm joined NLP Practitioner and Coach Sarah Gregg, Change Specialist & Head Coach at imachangemaker.com Andrew Tilling and Founder of Mindful Talent and Executive Coach Alister Gray.

My guests on the episode will be sharing their perception of why we sometimes have this innate fear of failure, where it stems from and most importantly how you can overcome this. If you are constantly worried about the end result or your perception towards failure being of a negative one, then tune in.

On a daily basis we directly and indirectly engage with people whose opinions may influence how we go about living our life. These opinions can be at times valuable, however we can also get into a state where we are constantly fearing what other people think and therefore not being able to be our true selves. We can go about life sometimes with a facade to as a result of this which provides no fulfilment and growth.

In the episode today I'm joined by Sales and Leadership Coach Dee Mullin, Founder of Mindful Talent and Executive Coach Alister Gray and NLP Practitioner and Coach Sarah Gregg.

They'll be providing you with some great insights into becoming more effective at dealing with other people's opinions and how you can become more mindful of how and who you spend your time with, to be able to get over this fear. If you feel like you're constantly worried about others opinions of you and your actions, then tune in!

We are educated about numerous things throughout life, but at no point are we really taught about how to truly understand or manage our emotions, if anything only on how to hide them. Emotions are actually neutral, they are neither positive or negative, it's our perception of them that pigeon holes them into either of these. All of our emotions are designed to support and aid us in some way, but to be able to utilise that we must rewire our thinking around them.

This week I'm joined again by Sales and Leadership Coach Dee Mullin.

Dee and I will be discussing in further detail why we have a misunderstanding of our emotions, some examples of where this very fact can impact us in a negative way and how we can begin to rewire our thinking around our emotions to ensure they serve us in a positive way. If you want to get some great insight and understanding of your emotional intelligence and how you can manage and understand it more effectively, then tune in!

As people we want to feel appreciated, enabled and valued by others. We expect nothing different in our career, but we have all experienced at some point, leaders who seem to miss the mark on this. There are a number of attributes that make great leaders, but one of the key ones is a leader knowing he doesn't always have to be the smartest person in the room. You see when leaders encourage others to shine, play to their strengths by letting others around them utilise their own, they lay the foundations for success to be built on.

In this episode I'm joined by CEO, Keynote Speaker and 5x TedX speaker, Bobby Umar.

Bobby and I are going to be discussing why it's essential leaders realise they don't always need to be the smartest person in the room, the impacts it can have on them and those around by ignoring this, along with how you, as a leader, can become more aligned to this. For anyone in a leadership role or looking to move into one, this episode is not to be missed!
