Welcome to the Make Time to Talk podcast with Ryan Beasley. In this episode, we have a wonderful discussion about our mental health journeys. We cover grief, CEO mistakes, the 90's, and our childhoods, growing up in a world before the technological wave. Throughout this episode, we will cover mental health subjects that can be difficult to open up about, but incredibly important to be aware of.
Do we realise how much our emotions impact our loved ones? When we go through our own mental health battles we can have an array of emotions but how does this affect those closest to us? Ryan talks about this journey and how it was a long process for him and his partner to figure out each other's boundaries. It's important to recognise the impact our emotions have on those closest to us, especially during our own mental health battles. It's natural to have a wide range of emotions, but it's crucial to understand how these emotions affect our loved ones. Ryan's journey is a reminder that figuring out boundaries with a loved one is a long process. It's not easy, but it's necessary for a healthy relationship. Communication, patience and understanding are key to establishing boundaries and making sure that they work for both parties.
We examine the crucial role that honesty plays in effective leadership. As a CEO, your words and actions have a far-reaching impact, and being authentic and transparent is key to building trust and inspiring confidence in your team. We'll discuss the benefits of honesty, and the challenges of being an open leader, and provide practical tips for incorporating honesty into your leadership style. Whether you're an aspiring CEO or already leading a team, this episode will help you to be the best version of yourself and lead with integrity.
Being a CEO can be demanding and stressful, but what if you had a secret weapon to diffuse tension and bring a smile to the room? Ryan is a CEO who brings his daughter to meetings as a way to lighten the mood and bring a different perspective. See the impact that this unique approach has on his team, clients, and even himself. From dealing with tough negotiations to navigating challenging conversations, find out how this CEO's approach to tension-breaking can inspire you in your own leadership journey.
Ryan also bravely opens up about his struggles with losing his beautiful son Alfie at 37 weeks. As we all know, grief is multilayered, intense, and deeply personal. Ryan shares what that journey looked like for him and actually meant that he went into "Dad mode".
Are you someone who tends to focus on finding solutions to problems or someone who tends to focus on analysing and discussing the problem itself? It's important to understand whether you are a problem or solution-focused person because it can greatly affect how you approach and handle different situations in your life.
Listeners will hear about our personal experiences with grief, CEO mistakes, life in the 90s, being an introvert vs being an extrovert, mental well-being in the workplace, changing your mindset, and growing up in a world before the technological wave. Our discussion is intended to help individuals with their personal journeys and shed some light on things that aren’t normally discussed in “small talk situations”.
