May 29, 2018Susan Peppercorn - Ditch Your Inner Critic
On this week’s episode, I am speaking to positive psychology coach and author of the book, “Ditch Your Inner Critic At Work” - Susan Peppercorn.
Like all of us, Susan battled her own inner demons. However, she has studied with some of the world’s leading authorities on positive psychology and has come up with many evidence-based practices to really kick that critic into touch.
Susan has been featured in the New York Times, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review and US News amongst others.
What I love about Susan is how down to earth and human she is. She really walks her talk as she has put everything she talks about into practice. Susan is a real example of “do as I do” rather than “do as I say”.

In this conversation, you'll learn:
The journey to figuring out what can make you happy and make you money
The physical impact that listening to your inner critic can have
How to start to tackle your own inner critic
A short daily practice that can change your brain to focus on the positive
Gratitude as an antidote to the negativity bias of the brain
The mental gremlins that get in the way of fulfilment and how to wrestle them down
Treating failure like a scientist
A brilliant exercise to gain a positive perspective
What the science says about the causes of happiness
How to understand and use your strengths
Why it is important to set stretch goals
The huge impact of giving small moments of attention to other people
And a whole lot more!

May 16, 2018Kathryn Haydon - How To Supercharge Your Creativity
Kathryn Haydon has spent her life figuring out what creativity really is, helping to nurture it and being a passionate advocate for creative strengths.
She believes the troubled kids at school - the class clown, the rebel, the misfit - are actually misunderstood and are actually what the world needs more and more, due to their ability to think differently.
In this fascinating conversation, Kathryn suggests that as a society, we don't really know what creativity is. However, if we can nurture creative strengths, both in school and the workplace, so much more is possible.
What I love about Kathryn is her passion and thoughtfulness. She cares deeply for people who have previously been seen as troublesome and reframes them into creative heroes. Kathryn really is a true Maverick!
In this conversation you'll learn
Many creative thinkers are being marginalised at a young age, especially at school, because they display behaviours that are seen as disruptive or rebellious
That pattern is repeated as the divergent thinker goes into the world of work
What creative thinkers need to thrive
The difference between many see as creativity, and what creativity actually is
Many of the 'troublesome' characteristics of divergent thinkers are actually huge strengths that we need in the world right now
The place where your strengths, interests and values overlap is your creative spark
One of the best ways to apply creativity in the workplace is the 'creative problem solving process'
How to apply the creative problem solving process
How to create an organisation or ecosystem where creativity thrives
Why routines are crucial for optimal creativity
How to create rituals and routine for yourself when you hate routine
Not every creative is energised by every part of the creative process
The best advice for nurturing creativity

May 02, 2018Olivia D'Silva - Recognise Your True Value and Improve The Quality Of Your Life
On this week’s episode our guest is life coach, writer and deep thinker, Olivia D’Silva.
Olivia went through had a life changing moment in 2006 which led her on a journey to discover what is truly valuable in life. Through different ups and downs, and moments of thinking “is this all there is?”, she has cultivated an approach to life that really is values based.
This led her to train as a coach and write her book – the Whole Life Economy. As she says, “recognise your true value and improve the quality of your life”.
I love that Olivia has written based on her own experience and experiments. Her work is deep and heart-based yet practical in everyday life. Some of the highlights of our conversation include:
That moment when you realise that something HAS to change
Often the first change you make isn't the one that will stick
The seven resources that we have as humans that we take for granted - and if we valued them more, we would love our life a lot more
Why your 'Why' is so important for getting you through the nitty gritty
The importance of the 'attention economy' and why what you give you attention to is so important
How to increase the value of your time
When you value your body and physicality, you will want to exercise, eat better etc, meaning your quality of life will increase
Most people don't actually want more money but rather what money brings (freedom, choice, security etc)
You increase your wisdom by recognising that you have something unique to bring to the world
Compassion fatigue and knowing the time to time to give help and the time to ask for help
Self doubt can be the clue to what you actually want in life

April 17, 2018Bryan Falchuk - How To Change Your Life One Day At A Time
Our guest this week is the author, TEDx speaker and C-level executive of a major finance company, Bryan Falchuk.
In this interview, Bryan shares the importance of self-love, knowing your truest deepest motivation and then executing consistently every day...without letting yesterday's baggage or anxiety about the future get in the way.
This has enabled Bryan to lose 100lbs, become a marathon runner, a best-selling author and writer for Inc Magazine, as well as a much sought-after speaker.
What I love about Bryan is his realness, groundedness and presence. There aren't many C-Level execs of major companies you hear talking about self-love, service and helping people. He is a genuinely big-hearted guy with a huge message about how you and truly transform your life.
Some of the highlights of our conversation include:
The impact of childhood on setting up the changes we need in later life
Even extreme challenges don’t always trigger the change needed
Focused execution everyday underpinned by true motivation means you can smash any goal, often ahead of schedule
Setting up a system means that you automatically achieve goals, especially health goals
Tackling underlying anxiety is actually one of the most important things you can do
The starting point of any change is Self-Love - believing that you deserve better and are capable of better
Your TRUE Motivation is always much deeper than you believe..and you have to dig for it (and it can take years!)
You need time-based goals which you execute each day
Do A Day is about wiping the slate clean…staying present in today so you don’t bring in yesterday’s pain or anxiety about tomorrow
True Motivation (the why behind the what) is what keeps you going when it gets tough and keeps you focused on a day-by-day basis
Being egotistical is outwardly praising yourself for things that you are NOT doing…everything else that you are doing deserves self-praise
