Inside the CEO Mind

Today's spotlight guest is Dr Ashleigh Moreland, a therapist and coach who is on a mission to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific inquiry and real-world transformation. With a Ph.D. in neuroplasticity, Dr Ash is driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand how our brains work, how our minds develop, and how we can unlock our full potential through innovative modalities.

In this interview Dr Ashleigh shares her journey of personal growth and healing, having spent 20 years personally dealing with developmental trauma, cPTSD, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people pleasing, and ADHD. After a significant crash, I got serious about applying my knowledge of the brain and human behavior to break free of the relentless impacts of these struggles personally and professionally. These experiences fuel my empathy and drive to help others navigate their own journeys towards wellness and empowerment.

As the CEO and founder of the Re-MIND Institute, she channels her expertise into a holistic approach that combines neuroscience, spirituality, and nervous system healing. In this episode she shares tips, advice and ideas to help leaders better regulate their own nervous system and to support and lead their team members well.

Today's special guest is Ryan Griffin - the Managing Director of Chunky Duck a creative agency that operates in Australia.

Ryan shares about his career journey from a quarter life crisis, to riding a pushbike across South America with his girlfriend, becoming a Shark Diver to now being a people leader of a creative agency that operates remotely.

Humble, introverted, deep thinker and passionate dad, Ryan shares candidly about his leadership experiments, what he's found works best managing remote teams and how he has built great communication, trust and collaboration. Most refreshing are his views on creating healthy teams through "no overtime" policies, weekly kudos calls and migrating his staff "ducks" to his homebase in Noosa once a year to reflect and re-energise.

It's inspiring, insightful and refreshing, enjoy!
