However, in an attempt to be both good at family and good at career, can sometimes mean doing an average job at both.

Good employees are hard to find. They say that when you lose your best people, the first place to look is at management. When your top talent decides to leave your business, productivity reduces, morale suffers, and resentment sets in with the employer as the tasks of the exiting employee are loaded onto the remaining staff.     

In these unprecedented times, there is no new normal when it comes to work arrangements. With so much of our work day being conducted from home offices or through virtual meetings, there just isn’t as much physical contact for meetings or catch ups anymore between employees and employers. With this type of agile workplace what can be done by you to keep your employees motivated and interested in the long term vision of your business.  

The important thing to remember, is never waste a good crisis. This new work environment we are all faced with really gives businesses and opportunity to focus more on its most important asset: its people. 

This episode we will discuss:

• what causes people to leave a business in the first place
• the main triggers that cause staff to disconnect mentally and emotionally from their work

Ego can either make or break your company. 

Ego is defined as a self generated identity of what we believe to be who and what we are. A strong ego centric nature is linked to our core identity as humans, and therefore we want to protect it at all costs. As a leader, an ego left unchecked can warp our perspective and values and corrupt our behaviour. 

As we advance up the corporate ladder, people are more likely to want to please us. As leaders we can fall into the habit of always wanting to be right, which can make our views of the world very insular creating a massive disconnect with the wider business and its culture. 

In today’s episode we discuss the fact that the ego may be part of us but it isn’t who we really are. All the beliefs, perceptions and traits that we identify as being you and 1 are created and chosen. So how do we better manage our ego as leaders and as people?

In this episode we will discuss: 

• Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday and the 3 ways ego is working against you
• Our 5 key strategies on how to let go of your ego and become a better leader

Today businesses are more acutely aware that to remain competitive they need to innovate and deliver services more efficiently. More positions are being outsourced, cut, or revamped, which makes it very difficult to believe that anybody's job is completely safe.

However, in any organisation you will still find a group of people who are absolutely indispensable regardless of the environment, economy or market.  What separates them from other employees, is the value or the perceived value that they add to a company. On today’s episode, we will talk about the concept of adding value as an employee and becoming indispensable to an organisation. 

In this podcast we will discuss: 

• Understanding the difference between being indispensable and being replaceable
• Why can 2 people doing the same job be paid such different salaries 
• Why personal development makes all the difference to your career 
• Our 9 key strategies for making yourself more valuable.
