Season 1: Episode 23 - UnLearning Childhood Stories & Beliefs

Childhood is where our deepest beliefs get formed, challenged and reinforced.

The beliefs we form during childhood are so powerful, that they drive decisions and actions we make/take all through our adult lives.

From fear and shame, to unshakeable hope - we can often pinpoint the birth of a perspective, assumption or belief to an incident in the classroom, the playground, or in your childhood home.

This powerful episode will help you understand the need for unlearning and unravelling childhood stories as an adult when building our emotional intelligence.

Zanele shares the story of a teacher who changed her life and invites you to mine those valuable and often, challenging childhood experiences that you still carry around today as a professional at work.

This episode will cover;

• How deep beliefs are created and reinforced

• The impact that childhood memories have on adult experiences

• How to begin healing and unlearning disempowering mindsets and beliefs

Heal your inner child, begin unlearning those disempowering beliefs and live freely by using the inspiration and tools shared in this episode.

Season 1: Episode 22 - Work WITH, Not FOR an Organisation

How do you introduce yourself to people you meet for the first time??

Do you always tell them about your role, your job, and the company you work with??

Not to worry - many of us do the exact same thing!

Sadly, introducing ourselves like this proves that many of us reduce our identities, capabilities and network to the role we play at work…

Tap into greater opportunities, harness your independence and grow your career by working WITH (collaboratively), rather than FOR an organisation.

This reframe has helped so many unlearners grow their careers and networks, and now you can use it too!!

This episode will cover;

• Why your perception of work may be keeping you SMALL

• How to shift your perspective and claim your power at work

• The magic elevator pitch that has the power to supercharge your career, network and opportunities

If you're looking to grow at work, expand your opportunities, gain confidence or develop your network - this super practical and exciting episode is just what you need!

Season 1: Episode 20 - Holding Space For Others (Q&A Episode)

Sometimes the person who is changing is NOT you, but a friend, a family member, a child or a colleague. How do you support them in a healthy way without feeling a crutch, or promoting codependency?

In this Q&A episode, Zanele answers this question and others that will answer what it means to hold space for other changing people (loved ones or not), and even how to change our perspective on what it means to be supported by others when we change.

Lots of unlearning to be done in this key area, so this episode is one you'll really enjoy and get some practical tips from!

In this episode, Zanele responds to the following questions;

• What does it mean to 'hold space'?

• Do you have to have a closeness to hold space for a person?

• What to do if a person is resisting my support?

• How to be empathetic even when you feel the person might be acting in-genuinely?

If someone close to you is going through a transition, change or transformation - this episode will help you know exactly how to support them on their journey.

Season 1: Episode 18 - Zinhle's UnLearning Journey

What are your titles & roles??

Mother | Wife | Teacher | Marketer | Sibling | Care-Giver

Yes - our roles & titles are dear to us, BUT…

They often end up defining WHO we are. We often don't know WHO else to be outside of them, and so we reduce our identities to the roles we play at home, work and society.

In this highly-enticing and deeply moving conversation, Zanele sits with Entrepreneur and Mentor, Zinhle Mbatha of the Glory Bush Group to talk about how being a house wife was the wake up call that Zinhle needed to understand that sometimes unlearning starts with challenging the 'boxes' society squeezes us into.

If you've defined yourself by your job, role in the home, your relationships, achievements or titles, it might be time to really think again!

In this episode you can expect;

• Details on Zinhle's gripping unlearning journey

• How to begin defining yourself outside of the role you play in society, work and the home

• Why we often fall victim to the tight, restrictive boxes of our titles and roles

• A toolkit to help you challenge who they've always told you you needed to be and redefine your own identity

Season 1: Episode 17 - Q&A: Leading Organisational Change 2

Your team is frustrated because not only is the company changing exponentially, but they don't feel well equipped for those many changes.

The changes feel hurried, overwhelming and sometimes as if they are the kinds of changes that will NOT help them, but only serve the company's interests.

As a result, team morale drops, resistance is high and the level of buy-in from the most key team members is low to non-existent.

What do leaders do in this case??

We've taken a few questions that leaders have asked us and created this Q&A episode to support leaders who want a practical place to start when leading change and transformation.

In this episode, you can expect responses to these questions;

• Whose responsibility is it to manage change?

• How do individual leaders manage their mental health because explaining an org change to the team is draining?

Leaders who are passionate about transformative change will truly appreciate this practical and easy-to-follow episode.

Season 1: Episode 16 - Hillary's UnLearning Journey

Ever met a people pleaser?? Are you one yourself?

You may even feel like what's happening outside of you (work, family, current affairs etc.) is what determines your mood all the time.

In a low-touch world, people live from the outside in - where external factors and experiences determine how we feel, what we do, what we say, and even who we become!!

Living in this way is sooo dangerous because we are swayed from pillar to post, becoming 'people pleasers' with no clear sense of self or our own centre, values, or even BOUNDARIES.

We dance to the drum of the opinions of others, their expectations, or what was on the NEWS that day.

It's time to adopt an internal locus of control and take back our power by building a clear sense of self and the boundaries to go with it.

In this episode you can expect;

• Details on Hillary's Unlearning Journey

• How to see and realise when you are 'people pleasing'

• Inspiration to begin choosing yourself in the moments when it counts

• A toolkit to help you build strong and enforceable boundaries in your day-to-day life.

Season 1: Episode 15 - Beware The Assumption/Presumption

"Never assume" they say… but how do we do that when assumptions are necessary for survival.

When humans have gaps in expertise or information (knowledge), we fill that gap with assumptions. Assumptions are healthy and normal, BUT…

The trouble is when we become victims to those assumptions and fail to be aware of them, or challenge them.

Learning to apply Zanele's much-loved 2 step framework will help you not only increase your levels of self-awareness, but help you manage your assumptions to get better at creative thinking and innovation!

In this episode, you can expect;

• Zanele's 2 step framework for divergent thinking and increased creativity

• How imposter syndrome and discrimination can be powerful catalysts for change

• How to begin noticing your assumptions and presumptions

• The danger of associating with your assumptions and not challenging them

• How to build simple, lasting system for self awareness and personal development

If you're changing, or looking to be more innovative or creative as a person or professional at work - this one is for you!!!
