“Oh that’s just the way I am” is a line many of us have used… However when we say this we are giving up personal responsibility for our actions and impacts.

If you recognise your biology and sociology aren’t destiny, you will bring a growth mindset to your work and life — a belief that you can change, learn, develop, and adapt. Finally, it means you care more about the impact you have on others vs just doubling down on “you being you.”

So the next time you get a piece of feedback about your approach, rather than dismiss it by saying “it’s just my personality,” try starting the conversation by admitting you are capable of something different and better. Listen in to the tips and techniques we share on this.

Do you work long hours? And continue to work long hours… and complain about this?

Are you in an unhappy relationship? And remain in this relationship… and complain about this?

Do you love a good pity party?

The final question you should be asking yourself is: Could you be a victim? Or perhaps you know a victim? Someone who often doesn’t take responsibility, feels they have no control, looks for sympathy and demonstrates patterns of behaviour.

Jac talks about “Dolly” and how she made me do it… Ral shares the travellers parable (so good!) and for every victim there is often a rescuer...

Can leaders create victims? Can they sometimes be a rescuer?

Listen/watch this episode to learn how to answer these questions and what to do next if you’re “Dolly” or the “Hero” because you don’t want to be either. You just want to be more self aware and use our tips on how to go forward.

You can learn a lot from others. If you’re prepared to listen, ask questions and explore things, there’s a very good chance you will encounter interesting opportunities through who you hang out with, what you watch, listen to and read.

In today’s episode Jac interviews Ral about what inspires her. Ral shares so many great things across business, people, technology, reading and life. Who knew Ral would bring a ‘business book’ from the late 80’s into the conversation… Jac remembers the book and now thinks the characters were moonlighting as porn stars!

Good wine, wholesome moments in nature, inspirational people who demonstrate resilience on a daily basis, how she uses AI and good food are just some of the things filling Ral’s cup right now. It’s a meaty episode.
