People Soup

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 17 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

P-Soupers - In this episode I continue my conversation with Hazel Anderson-Tuner. Hazel is a business psychologist and mindset coach specialising in resilience and leadership. She's also a podcast cohost at Coaching unpACT and author of the book, Coaching through Burnout and that's where we focus our conversation.

Hazel's People Soup ingredients are flexibility, values led action, being of service with a healthy sprinkling of humour. First up you'll hear my review of Coaching Through Burnout - A burnout prevention toolkit for busy leaders and their teams. We then explore the modern workplace's mental health crisis, particularly burnout, and Hazel shares the definition and its three components. Hazel also shares her personal experience with burnout and how it inspired her to create a course for the NHS, which was highly successful but ran out of funding, leading to the origin story of the book. Hazel also talks about her writing process, the challenges and joys of writing her first book, and her values of service, openness, vulnerability, and creativity. The interview concludes with Hazel emphasizing the importance of hope and fresh starts for those struggling with burnout or any life challenge.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 15 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

P-Soupers - In this episode I continue my conversation with Sam Hart. Sam is many things - he's a podcast host, primary school teacher, serious sports enthusiast, entrepreneur and proud Brummie - that is someone from the City of Birmingham in the UK. Sam's People Soup ingredients are openness, reflection and exploration, with a side order of flexibility. You'll hear us talk about our worries about what other people think about us and how that overthinking can leave us feeling quite low and withdrawn. In our conversation we try to normalise the experience and Sam shares range of practical strategies to help us relate to this type of self-doubt in a different way. Sam also shares two takeaways from his own experience and also three insights he's gained from his guests on The Insight Podcast. It's a treasure trove of tips.

P-Soupers - it's great to be back with a continuation of Season 6 after what turned into an extended festive break - blimey - and I'm raring to go. In this episode I welcome Sam Hart to the podcast.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 13 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

In this episode I conclude my collaboration with Dr Richard MacKinnon that started in Season 5. We're continuing our exploration of the processes of ACT and psychological flexibility. Our People Soup ingredient this week is a flexible self concept. We explore the stories we create about ourselves and how problematic it can be when we're rigidly attached to them. We draw upon our own work and experience to share plenty of examples and also tips on where to start exploring your own stories.

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 11 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

In this episode I welcome back Dr Eric Goodman to the podcast. Eric is an expert in treating anxiety and OCD, an author and a pioneer in the use of ACT and CFT, both with his patients and in his writing. Eric's People Soup ingredients are anxiety and compassion, with a healthy sprinkle of vulnerability. You'll hear Eric talk about his near daily cold water immersion and dear listener - you'll also hear how I commit to having a go - would I let you down P-Soupers? You'll find out at the end of this episode. Eric also talks about his fear of flying which developed as a young man and one of the darkest moments of his life on the operating table. It's a conversation full of wisdom and vulnerability.

And just a note that this episode was recorded in the run up to the US elections. I also had some problems with the sound quality at my end, which I've done my best to address.
