Today we talk about career choices and how and when we make changes; or don’t.

We talk about what motivates and demotivates us all – from the moment we meet a new employer to the day-to-day work experience. We explore the effect stress has on leaders and why businesses are tough on their people.

And lastly, why it’s easy to get stuck, and tolerate a job that feels soul-destroying.

We chat about… 

·      What we want to believe during the interview process and why.

·      What to look out for that tells us all is not what it seems.

·      What to do when the words and actions don’t match.

·      Ways to stand up to authority, power, put healthy boundaries in place.

·      How to find a way to deliver results on your terms and be rewarded for it.

We ask you to think about…

Which feels more comfortable under stress…

·      Tactics  – What can I fix now? Or

·      Strategy – How will I grow the business long term?

2.     What will you do to address that?

3.     And when?

In this week's episode, we delve into our 'Inner Boardroom' what it is and who those members are

The most important relationship we have as a leader is the one with yourself.

Most people tend to look at their relationships with the outside world world and completely skate over the relationship they have with themselves.

So, what is it that your board members are trying to tell you?

Are you recognising they are  there and what are the messages they are trying to share?

Because when our board members are in balance we are in our best state for everything in life
