The Highly-Sensitive Leader Podcast

If, like me and many of my highly sensitive clients, you have found yourself consistently overwhelmed as you navigate the relationships in your life, the Positioning tool I am introducing to you today will be a complete game-changer.

If you are doubting yourself and feeling a lack of self-confidence when you interact with colleagues at work, managers or even within your social circles, this tool will help you regain control on how you feel and how you show up in your personal or professional relationships, instead of letting your emotions, your sensitivity and other people take full control. 

The concept of Positioning, which I have fully shaped to suit the HSP trait, is hands down what has changed my clients’ life, and mine, the most. I share with you a powerful testimonial for my client Aurelie, which I hope will inspire you to take action.

I teach you the basic principles behind positioning and share the reasons why this concept and tool is so powerful particularly for HSPs and the pain points which we encounter in our life and work.

I offer you to practice one of my empowering positionings and leave behind the dis-empowering ways of thinking and behaving which you think were keeping you safe, but which in reality were holding you back from finding your voice and fulfilling your amazing HSP potential.

Join me this week as I show you how I have reversed my anxiety ratio simply by giving my HSP trait the attention it deserves, and building a process which has allowed me to go from 100% anxious, overwhelmed and scared, to spending the vast majority of my time anxiety-free. 

And this is not only me – my community members and clients are on this journey too, and have reported great results.

I teach you what worry and anxiety really are and how they might affect your wellbeing but also your contributions, sense of purpose and performance.

I lead you to question how much time you spend with these emotions and how they affect you – this is the hard part, looking at the honest truth!

I then lead you to see the possibilities. What would your life be like if you were able to reverse this ratio? How would you be feeling? What could you do if this anxiety-filled space was finally freed up?

I show you what my journey has been like and the results I got from applying a simple, 3-step process, which as changed the way I experience my life, my work, and my leadership as an HSP.

I also share some of my clients’ experience, so you can get a taste of what it could be like for you.

What HSP strengths could you shine if you were to reverse your anxiety ratio? I can’t wait to see that.

Join me this week on the podcast for an exploration of our HSP strengths, where we not only identify what these strengths are, but also learn how to play and rely on these strengths in a way that always serves us.

Because the truth is, we often don’t utilise these strengths correctly - we don’t really master them.

In this episode, I share with you the 5 HSP strengths I have learned to master on my journey to power, so you can start using the same process today with your own HSP strengths.

I share with you what I think holds us back from utilising these strengths to our full advantage, starting with knowing what these strengths are. I then share a simple 3-step process that will help you identify the barriers to mastering these strengths, as well as a simple daily process you can start implementing to stand out using your HSP strengths.

I then go into the details of the 5 top HSP strengths I have learned to master over time, and which I am today using very well, 95% of the time – I am human too and we’re not looking for perfection here. I apply the process to these strengths to really give you a taste of the power, value and wellbeing you could generate by learning to master your HSP strengths.

Join me this week on the Highly sensitive leader podcast to reflect and find ways to deliver the unique value that you have to bring to the world as an HSP, a leader and a contributor.

This episode is based on what my community regularly shares with me and what I have experienced on my journey in terms of figuring out what value we can bring to the world, and how we can best deliver it. 

I share my way of developing self-confidence, and how I can help you with this skill set, which is the centrepiece to creating and delivering your top value and contributions in your work, your business and your wider community.

I invite you to question, and perhaps even challenge, the voice inside your head telling you not to take too much space. That voice telling you to be satisfied with what you have. I also invite you to seek and give more microphone time to that other voice, that voice in the background telling you that you could deliver value in a different way, that you could come into your full power utilizing your HSP strengths. That voice is the key to unlocking your potential and ultimately feeling and showing up at your best as an HSP.

I take you through a simple 6-step process which will help you get connected to that voice, get familiar and more comfortable with it, learn to re-invest the value you are already bringing, and put your HSP trait at the centre of your reflection and vision. Finally, I speak about compound action, the key to developing self-confidence, and how to get started today.

If you experience an internal conflict between resting and being out in the world, you might be part of the 30% of HSPs who also are high sensation seekers (HSS).

Today, we are discussing what it means to be a high sensation seeking HSP, and what it looks like to have both traits, both from a personal and professional standpoint.

I share with you examples and stories from members of my community, as well as from my own life, centered around this dilemma we experience between staying out, resting and recharging, and saying yes to invitations, getting involved and creating new experiences for ourselves.

If this is a dilemma you are commonly experiencing, and you are sometimes “getting it wrong” and over-exhausting yourself, this episode is for you.

I share 4 strategies you can start using today to approach this dilemma and plan in a way which will increase comfort and balance for you. You will be able to find the amounts of both rest and explore which are right for you, and possibly reframe some of the “all guns blazing” habits which might not always be serving you as an HSP.

Making timely and effective decisions is, in my opinion, the number 1 skill set which makes our life easier, decreases anxiety and allows us to reach our full potential. 

9 times out of time, the highly sensitive leaders I speak with have difficulty making decisions, both for themselves personally and also in the context of their work and leadership.

Today, we are getting unstuck and out of indecision! We are also approaching decision-making in a way which suits your HSP trait and your experience of the world – we know that the one-size-fits-all doesn’t work for us.

We explore the reasons why the skill of decision-making is particularly important for you as an HSP and a highly sensitive leader. We discuss the challenges you might be encountering and what growing that skill will unlock for you.

Then I zoom in on your HSP trait and what gets in the way of you making timely and effective decisions. We need to approach this with our HSP lens to understand your specific challenges before we solve them.

Finally, I teach you 3 life-changing strategies to improve, streamline and structure your decision making, along with adding the element of commitment, which is often missing from the process as we are so tempted to change our mind.

Join me this week as I explore how we as HSPs experience time and the importance of building a harmonious relationship with that very important, ever-present entity in our life.

I explore the reasons why we as HSPs are more likely to experience Time anxiety and how it manifests, based on many of my own personal examples and what my clients have shared with me.

We discuss the various ways we might relate to time, based on attachment theory, and how this might impact our day-to-day. I provide guidance on how to take a deeper exploration of your relationship to time and how this might serve you.

I provide 3 key strategies to get started now on decreasing the time anxiety or pressure you experience.

Join Aiste K., HSP Yoga business owner and self-care advocate, and myself for an insightful conversation about how self-care routines can completely change our life for the better as HSPs.

We explore Aiste’s self-care journey, how it has transformed the way she experiences her day-to-day as an HSP, and how it allows her to show up at her best in her business, looking after her clients.

We discuss the challenges HSPs face, which are simply a matter of management and regulation, which is best achieved by having ring-fenced, consistent and organised routines. We also explore how these routines allow us to utilise our amazing gifts, without feeling held back.

Aiste talks us through sleep, yoga, meditation, evening routines, as ways to preserve our energy levels, staying calm in the midst of the complexity of our thinking, and have clarity and patience in the way we communicate with non-HSPs.

Aiste highlights the importance of these routines for any HSP and ways to make them very accessible and practical. It is about awareness and self-compassion, not about having the perfect routine all of the time!

Welcome to the highly sensitive leader podcast, which brings leadership development solutions to highly sensitive humans. 

Join us this week as we take a deep dive into conflict management and explore this leadership topic with our HSP lens.

We know that the one-size-fits-all doesn’t work for us, so I show you why and how conflict affects us in a very specific way, as highly sensitive people.

I also teach you the importance of developing that skill of managing conflict for leaders and how it positively impact your capacity to lead yourself, but also to lead others.

I go over three life-changing tactics which will not only allow you to manage conflict effectively as a highly sensitive leader, but also to shift your narrative around conflict and experience it from a place of empowerment.

Join the highly sensitive leaders podcast this week, where we use the HSP lens to elevate our leadership, combining brain hacks, self-care and leadership development.

This week, I share with you the 3 ways I feel empowered as a highly sensitive leader, both in my personal and in my professional life.

I discarded these strategies for so long and discovered their true power as various points of my highly sensitive journey.

I teach you the power of community and support and show how this can change your life and create a solid foundation for you to feel and perform at your best.

I show you how feeling and showing kind and compassion to myself has been a game changer for me, and how it can positively impact your life and leadership.

Finally, I share my way of speaking to others about my HSP trait, and about my mental health in general, to allow you to speak from a place of empowerment rather than a place of needing validation from  others.

Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt:

“The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the tortures of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it you find that forever after you are freer than you ever were before. If you can live through that you can live through anything. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face.”
