In this episode of the podcast, I talk about some of the ways in which we let other people's behaviour affect us. 

I share some examples of other people's behaviour that I feel used to unduly upset me in my work in school and share a few thoughts on how we can begin to release other people from the burden of having to do everything right in order to please us!

As usual, I would love you to reach out if this podcast resonates, or leave the podcast a review in iTunes!

In this episode, I talk about how to get your to-do list done.

I am talking you through my workbook - also called 'Getting it Done' which is available as a free download right here!

Enjoy.

Getting it Done Workbook

November is 'Compassion Month' here on the Nourished Collective Podcast.

So, I am starting off this season on compassion by talking about self-compassion because that is where I believe it truly begins. 

In this episode, I share a story about my less compassionate self. Indeed I share a story about my own bias that stopped me in my tracks. 

I share to help anyone who is interested in self-development think about their own bias and their own blind spots. 

I hope that you can be compassionate with yourselves.

In this week's episode, I start off with a little bit of a rant in support of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I couldn't help myself.

I talk about the pernicious shared consciousness that says 'stop whinging' and invite you to whinge on people!

I am also teaching the final part of the series that has been 'Finding Peace'. This week we are bringing everything together and writing up where we have found wisdom in the middle of our problems.

Let me know how you've got on with these activities!

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about adopting a stance of curiosity in the face of adverse or problematic scenarios.

I share my love of Rob Bell and talk about what he has to say about curiosity and I highly recommend going and checking out his amazing podcast 'The RobCast' - it is simply THE BEST!!

I also share the third exercise in the series 'Finding Peace'. No surprise this week's exercise is all about cultivating curiosity about the things that vex you.

I would love it if you would join me in Nourished Collective - it is a community for women who are interested in nourishing themselves with compassion and their schools and more than anything want to show up ethically. You can join us here.

In today's episode, we move into the second part of the series called 'Finding Peace'.

If you didn't manage to tune in last week I really urge you to go back to listen to Episode 5 of the podcast as we did an exercise called 'Surveying the Landscape'. Today we choose one part of that landscape and really drill down.

These exercises are designed to support you in getting some of the things that are dragging you down out of your head and onto paper. I hope that you are left feeling a little lighter as a consequence.

As ever, if you have any questions about coaching with me then please do get in touch - [email protected]

In this, the first of a series, I provide a simple tool to help you begin to find some peace in the midst of it all.

I talk about my relationship with anxious feelings, how I have been working over the years with anxious feelings in order to normalise feelings and experiences others of you may be having.

In this episode, I am talking about what I have termed a disingenuous system. 

I talk about the fact that our school system is a system that knows deep down that the ills of society cannot be managed by schools and their leaders. I talk about the fact that it is a system that knows that modern British life is overwhelming for us all. I also talk about the fact that it is a system that knows that the stakes are too high for mere mortals and that that there is no pipeline to fill the posts being left in droves or those being fired for not meeting its standards. 

I question the fact that it is a system that insists on celebrating the strong and venerating 'those that can' while looking on at those that flounder and ‘fail' like mortals like they are the problem. 

In this episode, I'm sharing the details of the programme that I'm launching later this year.

It's called The Ethical Leader and it is aimed at women who want to bring the lens of ethical leadership to their work.

The programme itself is designed around my L.E.A.P framework and covers

Leadership Competence
Ethical Maturity
Articulating Ambitiously
Positioning yourself Powerfully

I am so looking forward to meeting the first (and pioneering) cohort for this group. If you want to join us then please check out the details at www.nourishedcollective.com/the-ethical-leader

In this episode, I talk about a topic that comes up a lot: What to do when the culture of your school, education setting or organisation does not mirror your values. 
 
 I do conflate culture and context a little bit in this episode (forgive me) but essentially I wanted to dig in to the subject of feeling uncomfortable in a setting and to give you some ideas to navigating this terrain.
 
 As ever, please like and share this podcast with anyone you feel would benefit from listening. Let's stimulate some debate around the topic. Let's blog, comment and share in all the usual places.
 
 P.S - there is a little tech glitch in the middle - apologies!
