No one can ever be ready for a loss of a loved one.  

In this episode of the Conscious Leadership Podcast, Julie shares how she coped after her mother died. She recalls how her entire year went—she was like a kid again hoping for some assistance or guidance, but that time without a mother by her side. There was so much pain and longing that don’t seem to vanish. How does someone move forward from such? To grieve and to feel lost at the same time also affected her health, her relationships and her business. When she acknowledged what was happening to the other aspects of her life, she reached out—she looked for a healer who could help her cope through it. She tells more on this when you tune in to today’s episode.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• It was only July last year when Julie lost her beloved mother to stroke. She recalls she was on jury duty when she received the news that her mom was rushed to the hospital. 
• She also shares on how her mom, even at the age of 92, continues making and achieving goals. Julie was always happy how her mom is, how she lived life, but it she also saw how lonely her mom has been not having her husband and friends around anymore. 
• After her mom died, it was difficult for Julie to cope and continue living. Every celebration felt like it wasn’t at all. All pain from the loss comes back. You feel everything all at once again. 
• Everything became very overwhelming for her she started to feel alienated in her own mind and body—she was losing her identity. She then found a healer she worked with whom can help her move forward. 
• Julie believes she’s still being guided by her parents as she grows (her business and in life). It was easier to take each step when you know that there were people who believes in you. 

• Dealing with bereavement, grief, and loss really affected Julie’s property business. She was grateful though that she had people around her who can help her get back on track. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“What goes in your head, how you feel inside, is so important on how you interact with the world, how you create relationships, how you put yourself out there, or  how you build your reputation.” 

“Think about what you’re doing; get advice.” 

“Connect with the right people; surround yourself with the right people.”

Conscious leaders care about their impact on the world; their business, their family, their employees, their suppliers and themselves. By integrating this consciousness into their lives and businesses, what will be the impact?  

In this episode, Julie looks at conscious leadership in the 21st century, and the positive effects it can have upon society.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Conscious leaders care in a constructive manner, and create positive impacts upon the world and the people within it. It’s an approach of principles, choice, analysis and reflection.  
• When leaders integrate consciousness into the culture of their organisation and life, it will make a huge impact on stakeholder satisfaction.  
• Unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It has no long run prospects in the workplace. It can deliver short term results, but the costs of unconscious living and leading are great.  
• The five core attributes of conscious leadership are:  

• Courageous - Strong advocates for their business  
• Active - Conscious leaders take proactive steps  
• Principled - Conscious leaders develop a set of principles to guide every action and decision  
• Engage - Asking questions and listening to the answers  
• Reflect - Take time to pause, analyse, reflect and learn  

• 91% of leaders surveyed say consciousness and compassion is very important for leadership. 80% say they want to enhance their skills and don’t know how.  

BEST MOMENTS 

’The approach will lead to personal and professional gains’  

‘Conscious leadership is a choice everyone can make’  

‘Operate from the heart with wisdom'  

‘Conscious leaders will go for the long term result rather than the short term gain and quick win’

Quit beating around the bush. We need to talk about your mental health!  

Yes, there are enough existing movements around the globe that bring awareness to mental health… but we still can’t hit the right spot to really bring the exponential development to any aspects of it (e.g. diagnosis, proper treatments, etc.) Somehow, the kidology around it can be attributed to the authorities, even the pharmaceutical companies, believe it or not. So, in this episode, Julie talks to Kate-Ashley Norman of the Mental Health Revolution Podcast, to discuss the absolute real deal when it comes to mental health and mental illnesses.  

The ongoing crusade on how to beat mental illnesses is getting impaired because of the circulating myths and we need to stop it now. How can you teach your kids, be a good business leader to your team, or even live life gratefully when we refuse to get educated about our mental health? Start learning today on the Conscious Leadership Podcast. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The Mental Health Revolution Podcast has been bringing awareness and debunking myths for almost a year now. It has been a whole journey and Kate’s happy to continue doing so when authorities, medical experts, and every individual has a full understanding of mental illnesses, its symptoms, and its treatments. 
• Mental illnesses are not just chemical imbalances. Taking anti-depressants does not guarantee a long-term cure to them. If there is a benefit (if you really can call it that way), it offers the placebo effect that you really get better. 
• What you need to do is make yourself feel MENTALLY better by changing habits, gaining new perspectives, surrounding yourself with the needed positivity, and above all else, believing in yourself. Yes, these things might be difficult, but no one’s in a hurry—take your time to learn and get in action. 
• What is your belief system? Having a positive belief system can make you be grateful in life more and move forward in your life easier. You learn how to manage your reactions on whatever the life throws at you.  

• For parents, how do you behave around your children so they have good mental health as they grow older? Language is important. Positive reinforcement whenever you speak and react to their behaviours can go a long way. Show them also what it means to ‘live life’. 
• What are some early signs of having a mental illness? According to Kate, “the inability to make decisions with clarity is an issue.” Confusion is a big sign.  

• It’s best to acknowledge these when you see them. It might have a domino effect on your career, on your relationships, and on their well-being as well. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“We need to completely rethink how we approach and talk about mental health so that it’s much preventative rather than reactive all the time.” 

“It’s the question of understanding and learning.” 

“If you can change how you think, you can change yourself.” 

“Your mental health is like a scale.”

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Kate Ashley-Norman is the host of The Mental Health Revolution podcast, creator of The Emotional Entrepreneur and The Emotional Employee, and a passionate speaker and trainer about our emotional wellbeing. She is seeking to change the nature and tone of the conversation around mental health in the workplace and at home. 

Stripping away the myths that surround our mental health, Kate shows how predictable our emotions and mental health really are.  

This knowledge will help you to not only better understand your mental health, it will help you both improve it, and supercharge it during those more challenging times when emotional wellbeing can be compromised. Fear, procrastination, overwhelm, powerlessness, self-worth – empire building is a hugely challenging process in its own right.  

Enlightening, easy to understand, evidence based, and hugely practical and applicable, this revolutionary approach to mental health is putting the power back into the hands of the individual.

How many of us are told ‘ ask and you won’t get’

These phrases of our childhood are part of our programming as adults unless we consciously change them.

Julie poses the question how do others know what we want if we don’t tell them? This is the opposite to the commonly used phrase ‘ask and you won’t get’ often heard in childhood.

Listen in and find out why you need to tell others what you want if you want to achieve your goals.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• How we are raised and brought up imprints in our brains and unconscious programs.
• As the adult, if we are without conscious thought or re-jigging we operate from the programs of our childhood.
• In all aspects of our lives, we have to ask for what we want, it’s important to be able to do this.
• If we are told as children not to ask because we won’t receive it, how do we learn the strategies, the how-to for when we are older?
• When we have a vision, goals, long term and short-term planning unless we are really clear that we can ask for that thing we cannot move forward.
• Unless you can ask for and truly believe you deserve something it will never happen.
• How were you spoken to as a child? what phrases run through your head?
• What we want to achieve and what we need to achieve are sometimes completely different things.
• Go out and do something that will bring you closer to where you want to be

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If there is a gap something will fill it if you don’t have a plan’

‘We have to ask others for what we want. If we don’t ask them how will they know what we want?’

‘How many of us are told ‘ ask and you won’t get’

‘Those phrases run through us and direct our actions’

‘We can all put on a mask but sometimes the truth has to be shown’ 

In this very honest episode, Julie shares how she is beginning to come to terms with the void she currently has. 

There are no coincidences, everything happens for a reason and Julie shares how as a result of being on social media she has had the opportunity to work on her trapped emotions with someone who she has been able to connect with on a deeper level. 

We all respond to a void whether it’s a time void or a person void, in different ways and in this very candid episode Julie puts a voice to the emotions and actions that many experience. She also shines a light on the way forward because there are no coincidences, everything happens for a reason so if you have found this episode it is maybe your reason, why you can start to fill your void. 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Filling the void 

• When something changes or something leaves our life a void is created 
• Who we are is who we are, who we be is who we be 
• If we can work with our unconscious if we can change our beliefs, change our systems whether we are a manager, leader a mother father whatever we are if we don’t have the life we want we can change it and to change it we have to work with ourselves internally 
• Not everybody fits everybody but we can all support each other. 

Trapped emotion 

• A void had opened and  helplessness had filled it 
• I didn’t know what to do with my self 
• I’ve been identified as holding onto several different emotions including helplessness, terror and rejection 
• I’m now working on my trapped emotion and the feeling of helplessness is reducing 

Hurt people hurt 

• Not only do we hurt externally when we are hurting we also hurt ourselves. 
• If you are hurting yourself it’s because you are hurt. 
• Think about what you are doing and why you doing it. 
• The hurt can be repaired it doesn’t have to stay with you. 
• It can all be amended and repaired the void filled with constructive use of your time 

• If you lack the belief you can create the belief if you lack the confidence you can build the confidence if you don’t want to be in a job you don’t have to be you can go out and control your life. 

Is your ego getting in the way? 

• As managers and leaders, we destroy lives if we don’t do it right and we create wonderful lives for people when we do it well 
• Not everybody wants to be their own boss so for those who want to have a job it’s important they have a positive experience. 
• You can work to get to your ego out of the way. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I’m sad because Mum’s not here but Mum is where Mum wants to be’ 

‘I’ve always been told I’m a strong woman and come from a family of strong women but when thought carefully I realised  a void had opened and  helplessness had filled it 

‘I believe in generational thinking I believe that what’s gone on before comes down through the generations’

This live episode is based on a situation Julie is currently dealing with, passive-aggressive behaviour. 

Behaviours such as passive-aggressive,  submissive, aggressive and assertive are learnt and we can move from one to another but assertiveness is the place to be. 

If your learnt behaviour is aggressive then you use this behaviour to get people to back off, this works in the short term but is not sustainable over the longer term. 

Assertive behaviours are a set of skills, a set of behaviours that everyone can learn. 

This is a fascinating look at the different behaviour patterns we see and experience,  listen in and find out more. 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• A person with Passive behaviours will be someone who acquiesces to everything they are asked to do.  
• They don’t express their opinions and can be introverted and quiet . 
• This doesn’t mean they are passive individuals 
• An aggressive person is someone who is out there shouting because they think it will make people back off. 

• With an aggressive person, you can tell what they thinking because they are demonstrating it through their behaviour. 
• With a passive person, you will have to work hard to get them to tell you anything. 
• Assertive people will tell you how they are feeling, request feedback and when something is wrong and their response will be about how to move forward. 
• A passive-aggressive individual will make an agreement with you then change. 
•  Passive-aggressive behaviour does not allow you to grow or move forward it’s a deflection technique. 

• If you have someone like this in your life – you have to pull them up on it, if you let them moan and groan and continue it will only get worse. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Passive-aggressive behaviours are designed to get you off their back’ 

‘Its probably that you have flipped from one end to the other and didny know about assertiveness’ 

‘Most people can’t explain what assertive behaviour is’

‘Eyes are the mirror of our body, literally’ 

Conscious leadership is about having the best life you can and Julie is talking to Ferris Hartun a man who is a ‘wonder about eyes’. 

They discuss some of the common issues with eyes and the ways in which we can take care of our eyes to make sure they stay healthy. 

Our eyes are vitally important and in this episode, you can discover more about how you can look after your eyes and the role they play as indicators of what is going on elsewhere in your body. 

It is surprising what you can tell about someone just by looking at their eyes. 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

The blood vessels of the eye are indicators of what is going on elsewhere in the body. 

Having your eyes tested can be used as a preventative strategy or provide early warning of for a range of diseases. 

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) actually shows the structure of the retina, what’s beneath the surface of the eye. 

Glaucoma is a condition that affects the optic nerve. The nerve fibres in a glaucomatous eye slowly die resulting in a gradual loss of sight. 

We all have blind spots but our brain makes up something to fill the space making the gradual loss of sight through glaucoma difficult for the sufferer to recognise until after significant permanent damage 

We think our bodies are symmetrical but they are not and our eyes are not the same as each other so it’s vital that eyes are tested regularly and the recommendations followed. 

We are all in front of screens for extended amounts of time and taking regular twenty-second breaks can be very beneficial. 

If you block your tear ducts with excess makeup, you are potentially impeding the ability of your eyes to clean themselves. 

Our eyes deteriorate as we get older but it’s vital that we look after them throughout our lives attending regular checks so that any issues are identified in the early stages. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘There is no way I’m going to lose my sight if it’s preventable’ 

‘Generally speaking, as part of the ageing process we lose our ability to focus up close’ 

‘When you are in front of a computer you can sometimes forget to blink and this means the eye surface becomes dry’

Things won’t always go as you plan or see it. Sometimes, conflict arises. Conflict can happen within you, with other people, or with any other entities. It can also be caused by a lot of factors, not just the bad ones, but even the good ones. It’s a simple yet complex topic, but when fully acknowledged and understood, life can get easier.

In this episode, Julie sheds a light on what conflict really means and how it can affect you when pursuing your success and happiness in life. She also discusses the different types and how you can manage them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

“Conflict is a struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce rewards, and interference from another person in achieving their goals.”

Conflict can be intrapersonal, interpersonal, intergroup, intragroup, and international.

In business, goals should be in alignment with each other, with everything else, especially the people involved. When you get an individual who’s unknowledgeable, uninterested, and unmotivated to do the tasks for the business goals, that’s a big conflict that most organisations don’t think about at all.

You might not be celebrating or rewarding yourself enough or even a little. Sometimes, you need a little pick-me-up just to make sure there’s balance. Same goes with managing people, you need to give the acknowledgement they need when they’re doing their job properly.

How do we manage conflict?

• Have a conversation.
• Manage our own behaviours.

BEST MOMENTS

“Nothing works in isolation.”

“When we’re managing others, the goals need to be in alignment and we need to gain people’s buy in to the goals.”

“Motivation is goal-driven.”

“Conflict can be caused by a good intent by someone else.”

Do you need a team or would a working group do just as well? 

Julie has extensive experience working with businesses and organisations who spend considerable time building teams and team working when in reality they don’t need a team a working group would be fine. 

In this episode she explains the differing roles of the individuals in teams and working groups and discusses what it takes for a team to be high performing, what do you need a team or working group?  listen in and find out 

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Team or working group 

• The energy and effort that goes into building a team isn’t always required. 
• The definition of a team is where one person cannot win without the others. 
• A team is a committed group of individuals all working towards the same goal and aim they all need each other to cross the line. 
• In a working group, people can do their own thing and all get to the same place but are not reliant on the others in the group. 
• A team has a reliance on other people whereas a working group does not. 

Storming 

Tuckman’s theory focuses on the way a team tackles a task - Forming, storming, norming, and performing. 

In reality when you look at how teams meet, gel and perform very few teams ever storm. 

You will know when a team is storming because there will be arguments and conflict. 

Usually when a team is formed the individuals conform to a set of rules and conventions. 

• We are polite in our organisations because we want others to like us so storming in a team is rare unless you create the storm. 
• It is only when you have ‘storming’ within a team that it becomes a high performing team. 
• Very few teams become high performing because we don’t create the process required for them to reach a high level of performance. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Look at the percentage of teams in your business that are achieving their goals’ 

‘Because people don’t have the difficult conversations, that would help everyone we don’t get to be high performing organisations’ 

‘Managing is a part of the job, not an add on and it needs time allocated to it’

‘Our goals have to be motivational and setting appropriate goals is a skillset’

Goal setting has been within our psyche, within our business, our realms of reality for a long time but it remains challenging.

In this highly informative episode, Julie explains the vital role of goal setting in motivating staff and achieving in any type of business.

Everything we do as people is because we want the end result and the effective use of SMART and STRUCTURE in goal setting can make sure you are setting effective and motivational goals, listen in now and find out how

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everything we do is because we want the end result.
• If we have goals that are out there, spoken or written we become more accountable, without goals we don’t achieve.
• The vision must be broken down into a strategic plan by subject area and by division.
• Develop the strategic plan into smaller goals – relevant for the area and the year down by division into 6 months, 3 months, monthly, weekly and daily.
• Once you have a plan you can begin working by setting appropriate goals that are motivational.
• SMART criteria are associated with Peter Drucker’s management by objectives concept and are frequently used in goal setting.

Specific – the more specific your goal the better the language you write it in and the more people will understand.

Measurable – it has a measure, a number either positive or negative, it has to be linked to the specific. If you can’t measure it you can’t manage it

Achievable – it has to be stretching but achievable for the individual linked to their skillset

Realistic – is it realistic for the business and the individual to achieve.

Time-bound – the more specific the goal is the more likely it will be achieved.

People now want to know why and understand -  this is the basis for motivation within a workforce.

The STRUCTURE criteria extends SMART and ensures goals are motivational for the individual in today’s businesses.

System – if you don’t have a system for goal setting activities how do you know if you are ever going to manage it?

Target – whether a number or percentage you have to have a number to be able to measure it.

Relevant – this is vital the target must be relevant to the individual receiving it so they are motivated to achieve it.

Understand – make sure you understand so you can explain it to others.

Communicate – you have to be able to communicate the goal effectively

Time – when do you want the goal achieved by? Give yourself wriggle room especially if you are delegating the task

Understood – make sure the person understand what you are asking them to do you are supporting and helping by ensuring they understanding

Review – make sure you timetable the reviews in and make sure they happen regularly.

Evaluate – why are you evaluating to celebrate success, to realign the goal, to learn for next time, improve the process? there are many reasons to evaluate and its vital to do it.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘In Japan, they have thousand-year visions and they have the greatest percentage of thousand-year-old companies in the world’

‘We can’t manage time but we can manage our contribution to it’

 ‘People still don’t do it very well and that’s the truth’
