Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack

 

It's been a while, but today I have a guest joining me on the podcast.

Jill Tait is the founder of Aromatherapy Dispensary.

Jill has had a long and diverse career in industries such as mining, finance, interior and academia 😲 before launching Aromatherapy Dispensary.

Jill and I first connected over our mutual love of France back in 2019 and last year we were finally able to meet face-to-face.

In today's episode - Self-styling your business and identity with special guest Jill Tait we're looking into how Jill has self-styled her business and life.

Jill and I chat about:

1. Jill's journey into Aromatherapy and the ethos of her business
2. The support Jill has received on her journey in starting her own business
3. Jill's takeaways and learnings from self-styling her own life
4. The advice that she would give for anyone inspired to follow a similar journey.

For the month of April 2023, Jill is offering listeners 10% off her beautiful products with the code SELF.STYLED.LIFE

Today I want to look at a story that seems a bit universal at the moment given how many women seem to be telling it to themselves

And this story is that if they ‘haven’t done something by now, it’s because they can’t do it’.

On one level it makes sense, right? If you’ve never done something before, it can seem impossible and it’s easy for your brain to rationalise the fact that you can’t actually do the thing.

But there’s a flaw here. When a baby is little, do you ever look at them and think, well, you’ve never done anything before, so therefore you can’t do anything? 

Of course you don’t.

So in today's episode - Just because you haven't done the thing doesn't mean you can't we're looking into this story.

We'll be chatting about:

1. The questions I ask that bring up this story in my coaching sessions
2. Why it makes perfect sense that you might be telling yourself this story
3. Two strategies for sidestepping protective behaviours and for trying something new

And if you have a question or a topic that you would like me to chat about you can send me a DM over on IG.

I'm back with one of my favourite types of episodes and that's answering a listener question.

When I was first asked about how my love of France shaped me as a leader, my first thought was 'But I don’t think it has. My love of France is quite separate from my coaching or corporate work’. 

However, years of being coached have taught me to dig deeper than that.

Our lives are never fully compartmentalised and how we do one thing is usually how we do most things. So I sat with the question for a while. And I realised that France and my love of French culture have influenced my leadership more than I immediately thought.

And in today's episode - How my love of France has shaped my leadership; we're taking a little trip down memory lane.

We'll be chatting about:

1. The backstory on my love affair with France
2. My first coaching qualification
3. The 3 key areas where my love of all things French has influenced my leadership
4. Tips on upping the quality of things in your life

And if you have a question or a topic that you would like me to chat about you can send me a DM over on IG.

I'm about to celebrate my 32nd year of working in a corporate environment 🎉

Usually the anniversary of when I started work inspires me to share the lessons I’ve learned over the years or my strategies for thriving in corporate. This year though, I’m feeling compelled to defend our choice to work in corporate.

Lately I've been hearing more and more talk about why we should all be trying to get out of corporate, but to me the discussion feels very one sided.

Now, I know there's bullying, burnout and bitchiness (I coach on these things every day), but like everything in life there is a spectrum in corporate and it's not all bad.

The 6 reasons that I'm talking about today that make the corporate environment a great place for me to work are:

1. I get to lead and coach every single day
2. I have a steady and stable income
3. I get the chance to experiment - often
4. I have the opportunity to regularly reinvent myself
5. I've made the best friends a woman could have
6. I have so much fun

Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack.

This is a little impromptu mini episode that I wanted to share after all of the interest around what I include in my own success criteria.

I'm hoping that by sharing how I measure my own success I can help to inspire you to play with setting your own success criteria.

In this episode we'll cover the importance of determining your own, unique version of success and what that might include and how that will feed into the success criteria that you set for yourself.

And if after you've had a listen you're ready to delve into this topic on a deeper level, I'm running a masterclass to step you through how you might start measuring your own success. You can join us here.

Today, I want to spotlight five areas where we can uplevel our leadership skills in 2023. 

I’m certain that for some of these areas, you’ll have them well covered, but I know as I run through these, there will be some that stand out as being an area where you know it’s time for you to grow. 

There’s no need to overthink this - just go with your gut instinct. And don’t let yourself get overwhelmed either. 

You have plenty of time to work on all 5 of these areas in any time frame that suits you. 

So the five areas I’m going to call out today include:

1. Developing or evolving your own leadership style
2. Setting your own success criteria
3. Getting comfortable with conflict
4. Leveraging your team for success
5. Building your boundaries

And remember, if you want to dig deeper into which leadership skill you could work on next, you can always take my quiz which will help you discover your next evolution as a leader. Head to: www.janellewehsack.com/leadership-quiz

This episode is all about words of the year.

Way back at the start of 2022, I shared my word of the year,  limitless.

Back when I shared this, so many of you wanted to learn more about what a word of the year is and how you select one. I realised then that selecting a word for the year is something that is big in coaching and personal development circles, but they seem to be a little bit of a mystery for some of us in corporate and other professions.

 

So in today's episode - Sharing My  Word of the Year for 2023, I thought I'd take a little time to discuss all the things about these special words so that you can consider what word might support you this year. 

We'll be chatting about:

• How my 2022 word of the years supported me
• Why a word of the year can be helpful
• How you can select a word for the year
• And of course, my new, 2023 word for the year

This short sharp coaching episode is all about people-pleasing and how it can hold us back in our leadership journeys.

If you are here, I know that bringing out the best in your team is deeply important to you, but I also know that there's a good chance that you're not always clear on how to go about that. There are all sorts of things that can get in your way, but the biggest of these is wanting to be liked.

So in today's episode - How being a people-pleaser holds you back in leadership, we'll be chatting about:

• Where people-pleasing and the need to be liked comes from and why they can be hard to break without intentional work
• How people-pleasing and wanting to be liked can undermine our leadership
• The risk of judgement and the sneaky thing about judgement we need to be aware of

In this episode, I am talking about something that I know many of you are looking for support on - how you can get comfortable with conflict.

We humans are clever things - we'll go to great lengths to avoid risk, and conflict is one of the seven psychological risks, so it makes sense that many of my clients in all sorts of industries tell me how much they dislike conflict.

They don't like how conflict - or even the thought of conflict - makes them feel. They worry they'll get into some sort of argument and freeze or that they won't know what to say. And they're especially afraid they'll get emotional and cry.
 
So in today's episode - Getting Comfortable with Conflict -we'll be chatting about:

1. What conflict is and how it translates into the corporate world
2. Different ways you can think about conflict and dig into where your dislike of it comes from
3. Some ways that you can get more comfortable with conflict
