Research suggests that there are many characteristics that contribute to an individual making it to the top of their sport or industry. Less information exists however about the critical elements that make the real difference and catapult people to the dizzy heights of the Olympics, Global Business or West End success. Here, success means a person being at the top of their game, achieving significant results and being championed by others as a Winner; a success that others only aspire to achieve. As a result, this research works to understand the ingredients that make up a ‘Winning Attitude’. In this episode, our very own Chief Psychology Officer Dr. Amanda Potter is being interviewed by Angela Malik.

After decades of using personality tools to support assessment for recruitment, succession, development and coaching, in this podcast we are debating the pros and cons of a personality versus strengths approach to assessment. We look at the various personality questionnaires developed since the work of Eysenck, Cattell and Jung, and the role personality has played in helping us understand individual differences. We then look at the move away from personality towards strengths and the benefit of taking a strengths versus personality approach. Finally we look at emotional intelligence, and the state - trait continuum. 

In this episode, the Chief Psychology Officer, Dr Amanda Potter, is being interviewed by Angela Malik.

Imposter Syndrome is something most of us have experienced, or at least been aware of, at some point in our careers, but how can we overcome it? In this episode, the Chief Psychology Officer explores what Imposter Syndrome is, the different biases that contribute to feelings of imposter syndrome, and the underlying causes. Amanda will also discuss Zircon's own research into the link between Imposter Syndrome and resilience, as well as a number of useful changes both individuals and organisations can make to help people overcome the biases that underlie this self-limiting belief.

In this episode, Amanda is being interviewed by Angela Malik.

Why should your organisation consider having a strengths-based culture? Dr Amanda Potter with her host Angela Malik explore how strengths play a critical role in both personal satisfaction and organisational success in an inclusive environment.  They discuss the importance of diversity in the context of organisational culture with examples how certain companies holding onto corporate traditions see significant problems in their business. As usual, the topics will be approached from a psychological and neuroscientific perspective as well as through personal and professional experiences.

In this podcast we interview Matthew Benjamin (also known in the music world as Bushwacka). Matthew is a DJ, producer, recording artist and performer. We discuss Matthews personal life changing journey from addiction to finding personal acceptance, compassion, forgiveness and recovery.

Recently trained as a psychotherapist, Matthew set up his therapy business with his wife Belinda Matwali, spiritual meditation and inner work mentor and guide (interviewed in Episode 18). In this podcast, Matthew shares how he uses his love for music to help the people he works with to help them find personal acceptance, compassion and forgiveness. He discusses his latest venture Audio Intentions, using binaural beats and positive affirmations to turn self-limiting beliefs into positive and liberating ones and the importance of music in creating the right state for learning and growth.

What is mentoring and why is it important? What are the benefits of mentoring for individuals and for the organisation? Who is suitable to be a mentor and what are the skills? In this podcast we will also explore the difference between being a coach and a mentor, and what it would take to be a successful mentor for a colleague or leader. We will also help new mentees prepare and get the most out of their mentoring agreement. Finally, Angela and Amanda take a look at the neuroscientific benefits of mentoring for learning and fulfillment for both the mentor and mentee.
