The greatest investment you can make is in yourself. Self-awareness is a conscious effort to understand who we are, who others are, universal rules we apply in life and at work.

The greatest leaders I have come across all had one thing in common: their level of self-awareness (aka personal understanding) was second to none.

• Do you want to make better choices?
• Do you want to manage your stress better?
• Do you want to be at your best more often than currently?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you, as I'm taking you through inner voice, self-awareness and one exercise for you to try out.

Train your mind muscles, my dear emerging leader, do this, do this again, and once more. This is the path to updating your me-map so you can navigate work seamlessly!

This is the true story of Emma, Brand Manager in the FMCG industry and how people-pleasing affects her at work.

If you're a team leader, you may have Emma's in your team. Listen with your eyes too.

"I'm looking for someone to chair the next marketing team meeting, I think you'd be great for it!"

"Erm, no thank you."

And they never spoke to each other ever again.

☝🏻That's exactly what the silly part of our mind thinks every time someone is asking us something. They'll hate you, that you're so unhelpful, that you're not collaborative.

• Do you often find yourself saying yes to everything at work, even when you don’t have the time, energy or interest to do it?
• Do you feel guilty or afraid of disappointing others if you decline their requests or expectations?
• Do you end up feeling overwhelmed, stressed and resentful because of your overloaded schedule and lack of boundaries?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you, as I'm taking you through a super useful way to approach a situation you are soooo tempted to say yes to, and yet want to shout a big no to. Train your mind muscles, my dear emerging leader, do this, do this again, and once more. This is the path to feeling confident to say no when it matters most.

For full disclosure: I still make this mistake today, guys. But I'm so very conscious about it that I am able to manage it when it's about to happen.

Working in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods sector, presenting is something you do pretty much every week - to your boss, to the cross-functional team, to R&D, to your buyer, and perhaps even .....*scared face......the board.

Worry not, emerging leader:

• I will name and shame the THING that we all do and yet is a disservice to our reputation and impact.
• You'll leave confident with these 4 tips to manage what-shall-not-be-named

Genuinely passionate about helping people overcome their mind traps, and I'm excited to talk to you today about people pleasing.

People pleasing is a mind trap that can have a significant impact on our lives. It can lead us to feel drained, resentful, and like we've lost ourselves. It can also prevent us from achieving our goals and performance in our job the way we want.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• What people pleasing is: a-day-in-the-life-of style!
• Why we do it
• How we can break free from it

Ready to learn more about people pleasing and how to overcome it? Okay, let's go !
