SUMMARY
Describe your personal experience with change in one sentence or less. Can you do it? Not so easy is it!? We kick off the episode by reflecting on this question to situate ourselves and our mindsets as we consider the change management process. 

In this episode, we break down the change management process into its key phases and explore real-world examples to illustrate each phase and its significance. We also introduce various change management models and frameworks (e.g., ADKAR, Kotter's 8-Step Model) and discuss the pros and cons of different approaches.  

We reflect on the development of our change management model and talk about the importance of simplicity. Sinogap Solutions Change Management Model has 3 stages: 1) current state (what is and isn’t working), roadmap (how do we engage people and processes to move towards the desired future state), and future state (where do we want or need to be/go). We also share the importance of crafting a vision statement to help articulate the need for change and desired outcome to inform and build awareness in others: “Because of (issue/challenge/need) a (change initiative) is needed to see (desired outcome)”.

SUMMARY

In the final episode of this season of the Tackle Tuesday podcast, we reflect back on the concepts covered throughout the last 7 episodes (of this season) and connect it back to the notion of creating brave spaces. 

 The episode provides a brief recap of the rationale for creating our online course, creating brave spaces, and then we review the topics covered throughout this season of the podcast: 

• Intro to creating brave spaces – we explored how the concept of a brave space differs from a safe space.
• Self-awareness – we looked at the components of emotional intelligence.
• Connecting with others part 1 – equity, diversity and inclusion and the role of our identity. 
• Connecting with others part 2 -  psychological safety and the differences between diversity hiring and diversity hire. 
• Responding to challenges part 1– conflict. 
• Responding to challenges part 2 – difficult conversations. 
• Maintaining brave spaces  – boundaries. 

The episode encourages our own self reflection and challenges our listeners to examine what these concepts mean to them.

SUMMARY

In the seventh episode of this season of the Tackle Tuesday podcast, we explore the need for boundaries when creating and maintaining brave spaces.  

The episode defines boundaries, discusses why they are important to implement in our work and personal lives and explores the impacts of not having boundaries in place. We unpack why it can be so difficult to articulate and stick to our boundaries and share pesonal examples throughout the episode.  

We delve into how self-esteem, imposter syndrome and confidence can relate to boundaries. Then some tips and tricks are shared to help you think about your soft and hard boundaries, as well as your values and the need to acknowledge and let go of guilt. Lastly, we discuss the need to set a boundary for ourselves, not around what someone else will or will not do.  

We wrap up by challenging our listeners to identify one action they can take in the next week to establish or improve a boundary.

SUMMARY

In the sixth episode of season 3 of Tackle Tuesday podcast, we explore part two of responding to challenges. Specifically, we talk about difficult conversations. 

The episode focuses on the science of mindfulness and encourages listeners to consider the effects of simply taking a few breaths before beginning a difficult conversation. When we are in a highly stressed state, the part of our brain responsible for rational thinking is impaired and may impact how we respond to conflict. Changing the rhythm of your breath can signal relaxation and help you refocus.

We then discuss common types of difficult conversations and tips on how to respond through a four-step process.
