January 26, 2020Episode 43 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Dr Kristy Goodwin
In this episode, I chat with Dr. Kristy Goodwin, where she shares insights from the last decade and predictions for the next.

Dr. Kristy Goodwin is a digital wellbeing and performance speaker who has dedicated her time to review the impact that technology has on our psychological wellbeing, on our physical wellbeing (eyesight, hearing, musculoskeletal health) right through to how it's impacting our performance and productivity. She acts as a conduit between research and science, and making it practical and relevant so people can apply it to their lives.

Key episode highlights include:
Just having a device present in the room - without even touching it - drops your cognitive ability by 15%.

Technology should be a great servant, never your master.

Technology now robs us of moments of white space.

Key message to parents - you’ve got to be the pilot not the passenger of the digital plane.
Key lessons/achievements from the last decade:
Celebrate: The profound impact that technology has had on our lives, how it is shaping our mental wellbeing, physical health and productivity.
Lesson: We are now living in a world permeated by technology. Children are learning to tap, swipe and pinch before they've learned to ride a bike, grip a pencil or tie their shoelaces. Teens who are sometimes spending more time with pixels than with people. And adults who are tethered to their technologies 24/7. Technology has been intentionally designed to prey on our psychological vulnerabilities, so none of us (kids, teens and adults) are immune to the 'digital pull'.

What Dr. Kristy predicts the next decade will hold:
Adopting healthy & sustainable digital behaviours, where we're NOT a slave to the screen, but have instead learned to tame our tech habits and leverage the benefits technology offers us, without the adverse consequences.

Personal goals for the next decade:
Raising awareness amongst parents, educators and employees about how we can all use technology in healthy and helpful ways and how to mitigate the potential pitfalls it poses, without proposing 'digital amputation'.

Dr. Kristy’s final messages:
Tame technology so you’re not a slave to a screen!
Kristy’s three B’s for helping your kids (and YOU!) thrive in this digital world:
Boundaries - have boundaries around screen time

Basic needs - make sure basic needs aren’t being compromised (sleeping, diet, human connection, play)

Boredom - allow kids (and yourself) to be bored.

January 22, 2020Episode 42 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Melanie Midegs
In this episode, I chat with Melanie Midegs, where she shares insights from the last decade and her predictions for the next.

Melanie is a futurist, teacher of Chakra Philosophy for Business and founder of Seed to Soul. We explore psychosomatic therapy - the study of the body-mind connection - and how this changed her world, why technology will shift us to unplug, and her core message of humanity and sustainability before economics.

Key episode highlights include:
A company can’t become truly sustainable unless its people are conscious - that’s the piece that’s still missing

Shifting focus from profit to planet

It’s hard to care about a bigger issue in the world, when our personal life isn’t feeling safe.
Key lessons/achievements from the last decade:
Trusting the process

Failures just point you in a new direction and a ’no’ just means you need to find another way

Sorting her own life out so she can now focus on making a bigger impact

The world is waking up and becoming more accepting of new ideas and ways of being, especially through information being greatly accessible via technology - 6 years ago people used to give Melanie the strangest looks when she started to talk about Chakra Philosophy and Face Reading... since then she's been invited to companies such as Lululemon and Singapore's Chambers of Commerce & Industry to present this work.
What Melanie predicts the next decade will hold:
The beauty of technology and artificial intelligence is the fact that it’ll push us to the point where we need to unplug

Our current climate crisis amongst a range of other issues will get worse before it gets better, unfortunately... but two things will happen under pressure. New leaders will be born, and those who refuse to start doing things differently will struggle

Those who choose to stay ignorant to not only what's important in this world, but ignorant to their own emotional intelligence will truly struggle when their comfortable structures start crashing down around them.

There’s a new way to come back into business and still be successful, but do it from the heart.
Melanie’s personal goals for the next decade:
To change the lives of 1,000,000 people. Melanie is beginning to lead a movement that busts the notion that spirituality and emotional intelligence are 'soft skills' in business... yes we need strategy, but for the world to change and become a happier place, everyone needs to change their perspective of themselves from the inside out... from CEO's, Entrepreneurs, Employees and World Leaders... no one is exempt from this and the ripple effect, without a doubt, will be life-changing for all of us.

Melanie’s final messages:
Humanity and sustainability must come before economics. The world is in this chaotic turmoil because economics comes before anything else
There is no separation between you and your business. Your world is a direct reflection of what's happening internally for you. Ignore your body, ignore your emotions ~ instead purely using your mind, and you will create a dead-end road for yourself.

January 19, 2020Episode 41 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Ian Donaldson
In this episode, I chat with Ian Donaldson, where he shares insights from the last decade and predictions for the next.

Ian is the founder of Rounded Consulting, and this conversation is very much about how well-rounded organisations need to become in the next decade. We also chat about the shifts into a customer experience focus, why nesting is a crucial part of life and how the typical organisation won’t exist at the end of the next decade.

Key episode highlights include:
By doing work on my own arrangement, I can be more of myself - which overflows into other areas of life

Once you relax around the timing of your goals, they start to come to you

We need to make workplaces better for people - with flexible working arrangements and the way teams interact with each other.
Key lessons/achievements from the last decade:
Learning the ability to reflect on achievements

Growth and clarity in purpose

Slow and steady wins the race

Established and grown a consulting agency

Moving back to Australia 3 years ago

The focus on nesting - setting himself up, renovations on the house and the business.
What Ian predicts the next decade will hold:
We have seen a shift from Business Process re-engineering, to transformation, to digital transformation and now to customer experience - we will see the further evolution of these concepts to an even more human-focused working environment. We have broken the back of the technology puzzle, the human extension of that puzzle is next on the menu

The typical organisation shouldn’t exist by the end of 2029

Flexible working won’t be just an option - it’ll be across the board

The need for services will be rapidly rethought. Clinical, educational, government systems are a work in progress and need to be revolutionised.
Ian’s personal next-decade goals:
Finish renovating and settle into his home, focusing on a sense of calmness and growing together with his relationship

Working with people that he just connects with

Building his personal and professional nest and reputation.
Ian’s final message:
It’s going to be ok - there is so much tension at the moment (professionally and personally), that is often created by the world we live in.

January 15, 2020Episode 40 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Leanne Hughes
In this episode, I chat with Leanne Hughes, where she shares her insights from the last decade and predictions for the next.

Leanne is a facilitator, runner and lifelong learner who values self-development and reflection. We explore the notion of purpose and the lifelong search for it, the unexpected positive career move that came from relocating to a regional area, plus we unpack insights Leanne has developed through hosting 100 podcast episodes and the conversations that have flowed there.

Key episode highlights include:
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job (thanks Jim Rohn!)

Everything that we do in life serves a purpose but we just don’t know it until it happens

Reflect on your individual behaviour when it comes to issues like climate change - it doesn’t start with the government, it starts with us.
Key lessons from the last decade:
Continually search for your purpose but be aware of the commonalities that link together

The longest period you can plan for is only about a year ahead

Energy > Time

Embrace the uncertainty

Pickup on signals from your body when things don't feel right and ask yourself questions to reflect on what may be going on for you.
What Leanne predicts the next decade will hold:
The irony that - as technology improves, face to face connections are needed more than ever.

Leanne’s personal next-decade goals:
Diversifying what she does and honing in on zone of genius

Channel her passion to stamp out the ‘presenteeism' culture in organisations - we can deliver outside of our cubicle

Speaking in Bulgaria, and hanging out with Simon Sinek afterwards!
Leanne’s final message:
Be kind to yourself, find your own lane and stick to it.
Reflect and re-listen to this episode, and answer Murray’s questions yourself - what comes up?

January 13, 2020Episode 39 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Andrew Sloan
In this episode I chat with Andrew Sloan, who helps people upgrade for a faster future - so who better to chat with for this Heading into the Roaring 20s podcast series!
Andrew reviews the last 15 years in technology advances, and how he is concluding the next decade will play out. Biotechnology, the internet of things and artificial intelligence are all on his radar as major advances over the next 10 years.
He also explores the concept of 'slow down to fast up’. We can sign up to the quickness and the pace around us and move closer towards activity and potentially not taking ownership, but the message here is that you are in control, you are an autonomous agent. Most of us are in a space of being able to choose and take personal responsibility and accountability for our lives.
Key episode highlights include:
The key theme of how to be relevant to an uncertain and very complex future is to have a strong relationship with yourself. In a digital life, how can we become more human?

Sitting within us is ancient architecture on how to feel grounded and safe, with ourselves and each other. A key thing that people should explore is the connection between their head, their heart and their gut, as the core rhythm of that ancient architecture.

No matter how quick and fast-paced and how much noise is around us, we can choose to be present, we can choose to slow down, and maybe that will help us move quicker and faster towards where we wish to head.
What Andrew predicts the next decade will hold:
Complexity and Uncertainty as two forces on our human experience from Day One but have ramped. We need to be experts on our own uniqueness and open up in collaboration with others uniqueness. More humanness as we approach our digital future.

January 08, 2020Episode 38 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Luke Bayly
In this episode, Luke Bayly walks us through some highlights of his last decade, including how he jumped from teaching to carpentry to now being a Strengths coach, where he facilitates others through the process that changed how he saw himself and connected with the world.
Luke generously takes us through his journey of learning to value people more, and how he opened up his home to another three children that weren’t his own - equalling 7 children in total - and how his time as a carpenter added more ease in this transition.

Key episode highlights include:
A key to creating more understanding with others and yourself is to introduce your themes before they introduce you, so we can view each other with more respect, appreciation and gratitude.

Go out and try things - have loads of new experiences to find out what works for you. Elimination of misaligned experiences is the key to figure out what your purpose is.

You want to make the best of your work, the most of your work (Marcus Buckingham).
Key lessons from the last decade:
We would not be who we are without each of our experiences. But we're more a product of our choices and commitments than our environment.

You are your character, not your thoughts and emotions.

Create the future - don't wait for it.

Quit early, learn fast, don't take it personally.

Learn from success! Not just failure. (When we succeed, we often switch off or get lazy).

Engage, deep and real.

Take responsibility for your own actions, motivation, character and future, but don't expect others to.
What Luke predicts the next decade will hold:
Human development leading to a major shift in careers and work culture. The ones who step outside of society's expectations and norms and embrace their unique talents and calling will thrive, establish their contribution - then reinvest their extra energy and resources in the community. Bigger picture.
Luke’s personal goals for the next decade:
To start writing books, speaking and working internationally. Travel with family.

More running and bike riding, probably take on an Ironman triathlon.

No more renovating!
Luke's final message:
Be you, multiplied. Not what someone else projects or expects of you. When we contribute from our passion and live in our Strengths, we empower each other to do the same; and we multiply each others' energy, power, effectiveness.

You can find out more about Luke over on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.

January 08, 2020Episode 37 - Heading into the Roaring 20s | Murray Guest
Welcome to this new Inspired Energy podcast series - Heading into the Roaring 20s - where we showcase 15 conversations with coaches, leaders and consultants, who reflect on the last decade and anticipate what predictions may be happening in 2020.
In this first installment, Murray looks back on his last decade covering work, business, relationships, family and wellness, and discusses his intentions in those areas for the coming decade.
Standout lessons:
We need to listen to our body - it provides signals all the time, tune in and listen.

Focus on your strengths - whether personal or professional, the impact with their application brings confidence.

Consistency - whatever it is, show up consistently.

Money mindset - being aware how it shows up both for yourself and others.

Be present to connect - as humans we have an inherent need to connect, and with current technology, it is getting harder to stay present. Hone and practice this skill.

Abundance - the abundance mentality is so important, especially in business.

The power of conversation - to influence the culture, the way in which you and others show up, whether in business or in life. Have the conversation BEFORE you need to have it.

Sleep - getting enough of good quality sleep.

Build your pack - are the people you associate with helping or hindering your success?

Find joy - vital for our overall wellbeing.
What are your top ten lessons learned in the last decade?

December 15, 2019Episode 36 - Kate Smyth (Olympian, Naturopath and founder of the Athlete Sanctuary)
In this episode I chat with Kate Smyth, an Olympian and naturopath who is supporting athletes by providing a holistic service tailored to their unique requirements, focused around balance, performance and longevity.

If you’re not a sporty person, please don’t discount this episode! There were so many parallels between life as an athlete, and the challenges we face in business and everyday life. Kate provided some amazing insights and practical examples of how she dealt with challenges in her running career and has then applied them to other aspects of her life, especially requiring performance.

We chat about Kate’s incredible journey from gaining 20kg on a European holiday to running 30km stints in six months, how Japanese runner Naoko Takahashi changed the course of Kate’s sporting career, and how to manage identity attachment when it comes to anything in life.

Key highlights on this episode include:
Take objective reviews of your performance and note down 3 things you did well and 3 things you could improve. This helps to keep momentum in moving forward.

Before any performance-driven task, utilise a ‘what if’ list - note down the possible negative scenarios and then the best case solutions.

If you’re operating at 100% all the time, you’re not giving yourself space for rest, recovery and adaptation.
To find out more about Kate, head on over to Athlete Sanctuary, or connect with her further on Facebook and Instagram.

December 08, 2019Episode 35 - Eddie Enever (Naturopath, Cancer Coach, Meditation Teacher)
In this episode, I chat with Eddie Enever, a naturopath, meditation teacher and cancer survivor who is out there to spread a very important message surrounding stress, health and lifestyle.

Eddie shares with us his incredible cancer journey and how the key to getting well was all about changing how he was showing up in life and business - and he drops some truth bombs along the way.

We chat about the difference between acute stress and chronic persistent stress, the role of emotional coaching throughout a person’s cancer journey, plus hypothermic and hyperthermic treatments in the body and how they apply to different health situations.

Key highlights on this episode include:
As humans, we tend to jump into action when we can see and/or measure something, but when you can’t we can become complacent

When two humans become vulnerable within a conversation, that’s when big shifts happen

Breathwork needs to be your anchor whether it’s a physical, mental or emotional challenge.
To find out more about Eddie head to his website, or connect with him further on Facebook and Instagram.

November 11, 2019Episode 34 - Wendy De Rosa (Intuitive Healer & Founder of the School of Intuitive Studies)
In this episode I chat with Wendy De Rosa, Intuitive Healer & Founder of the School of Intuitive Studies. We discuss what intuition actually is and how it happens, the difference between empathy and empathic intuition, and how social media has impacted on how people are awakening and seeking teachers in this area. We also explore the validation of intuition especially in the Western world driven by science, reason and intellect.
We touch on staying grounded and resilient with the frantic pace of life, and how by leaning into the front part of our body - trying to problem-solve life - we can get depleted. But if we learn to lean back into meditation and contemplation and filling up from source, that can give us the life-force energy for resiliency.
Key highlights on this episode include:
Consciousness is rising - more people are waking up to their abilities and gifts.

How cultivating a practice of grounding yourself is a way to tap into your intuition

So much self-care is needed to manage the intensity of what happens in business, so pausing becomes crucial to stay connected to yourself.
To learn more about Wendy and her courses head on over to the School of Intuitive Studies, or connect with her on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.
