In this week's episode of Realising Your Potential, Anj talks to the fascinating Dr Jason Fox. Dr Fox is a best selling author, facilitator, keynote speaker, and advisor. He’s an expert in motivation and behaviour change, but don’t call him a thought leader, he’s a Wizard. 

Their conversation explores ideas of curiosity, empathy and discernment. Anj and Dr Fox talk about the choices we make and how they shape who we are. You’ll hear meaningful and nuanced approaches to scaling motivational behaviour and driving progress in the workplace. 

Perhaps most exciting, are Dr Fox’s ideas around a third approach to motivation; the progress principle. Touching on what he calls, ‘The pantomime of busyness’ we learn how to avoid getting swept up in ‘default work’ and behaviours that lead to the delusion of progress, and unproductive loops. He talks about creating space for reflection - the rituals that go against the grain of busyness to progress the things that matter.  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did making it.

This week Anj talks to Sarah Susak. Sarah, who’s first focus is kindness to self and others, is a Senior legal professional, a mother, step mother, charity board member, and Cancer survivor. She has a love of people, how they think, and a belief in the power of social justice. Sarah is undeniably someone who loves to help people. 

In this episode you’ll hear how success isn’t always a straightforward ladder up. Instead it’s about acknowledging and following your passion, while actively celebrating the successes of those around you. Sarah’s a true advocate for community and speaks of real life, organic relationships being the cornerstone of careers and opportunities. 

Sarah uses language that focuses on gratitude. She explains how she found opportunities for empowerment, and acceptance of what is, and an understanding of what she may be able to change. We hope you enjoy these powerful moments, reflections on growth, and ideas for expanding consciousness both in work and at home.

In the third episode of Realising Your Potential, we’ve the great pleasure of welcoming Executive Coach Claire Salvetti. Claire moved from Senior roles in Marketing, Creative and Communications to become a Coach, finding what she calls her purpose - to facilitate and inspire self belief in others. Claire’s curiosity about human dynamics developed as a teenager when she began to find her own voice. This coupled with the sense of adventure she credits to her family makes her an unstoppable force.

Anj and Claire talk about performance, feedback and incremental learning. You’ll hear about vulnerability, authenticity, and self knowledge, alongside cultivating values. Claire believes good leadership comes from the ability to socially influence others, she knows a title doesn’t automatically equate to leadership skills. It's about understanding who your people are and what motivates them. It’s a drive to be constantly learning. As a Leader and Coach, Claire believes in a mindful, thoughtful and curious space. With this comes the importance of self reflection -  ‘Being on the balcony of your own life’ - observing and noticing what’s going on for you.

Thanks for listening and we hope you love the show!
