Inside the CEO Mind

When leaders value themselves and their own strengths, they are more likely to appreciate the unique strengths and perspectives of their team members. This, in turn, fosters a culture of collaboration, trust and open communication.

Knowing your strengths will help you communicate and connect better with others, allowing you to delegate more effectively and strategically position you for aligned, long term career success. When you leverage what is unique about you, you are able to achieve greater results in your professional and personal life.

In addition to knowing your own strengths, taking a strengths-based approach to how you lead and manage will have a positive impact on how you grow and develop the individuals and teams you serve.

In this Episode I talk to Strengths Coach Murray Guest about his strengths and how they've helped him build his career and upport others to lead with their strengths too.

Can you truly shift the culture of a large community health organisation?

Brenda Ryan thinks you can. And to prove it, she's done just that.

Brenda Ryan joined Hunter Primary Care as CEO in 2017 and has over  thirty years management experience, with the last fifteen being in the  Australian rural primary health care industry.

In this episode of the 10 Degree Shift Podcast, Brenda discusses the  need to track and measure culture, the opportunity to take a long hard  look at yourself as a leader and what do to challenge the status quo and  ensure the organisation is becoming a flexible as a work from home and  the office place and her beliefs about leadership.

G’day, it’s AJ and welcome to the 10 Degree Shift, a show all about  how people have made small shifts in their life and leadership that have  had a big impact.

Today my special guest is an amazing leader from the Manufacturing  industry, the managing director of 100 year old firm Bekaert Stephen  Hennessey. In this episode we explore how the balance of a leader  showing competency and care can lead to higher staff retention and  engagement, a better life work balance and ultimately a sustainable  happy business and life.

Stephen shares many stories from his career from an electrical  tradesman to his work now as an MD and how he has invested in being a  natural servant leader along the way. From how he callibrates the  culture to how he ensures there are high performing relationships across  the business and how he achieved unity of their blue and white collar  workers, there is gold in this interview from start to finish.

In Stephen's words - if you want to lead well don't be afraid to ask  for help and make sure you are practicing self reflection along the way.

Whatever you are doing right now, stop and make time for this short but deep conversation.

Every single day I meet clients, see posts and receive questions from  listeners about self-love, self-loathing, doing the inner work,  overcoming trauma or fear and taking the necessary small steps and  shifts along a journey to an embodied, whole life.

Today my interview is with a woman who runs deep and is comfortable  sitting in her feelings and emotions. She wasn't always that way, in  fact when I first met her and became her coach she was quite the  opposite. But just look at her now.

Allow me to introduce you to a business embodiment coach Casey  Warwick, she is fire, she is earth, she is water and air. She's all the  things. And most of all she's raw and real. Like a true Aussie she uses a  bit of potty mouth so you might not want to play this when your little  ones are around, but you will want to listen to how she moved through  her journey from being in the military, a fitness PT to now a mother,  partner, friend and successful business woman. She is all the things and  I love her for that.

I cannot wait to hear what you glean from her stories of her life and  the smallest shifts she's made that had the biggest impact.

Love AJ
