    John interviews Sharon Strickland-Clark, a leadership and business coach. Sharon helps ambitious leaders prioritise their own well-being while achieving their goals and creating strong team cultures. She emphasizes the importance of managing time, energy, and motivation to protect one's well-being and sustain high performance. Sharon also discusses the three key components of successful relationships: love, illusion, and optimism. She shares insights on how to navigate challenging relationships, set boundaries, and cultivate kindness and authenticity. Listeners can also access a free resilience masterclass on Sharon's website to develop resilience in leadership and personal life.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Prioritising self-care and well-being is essential for productivity and success in business and relationships. It is important to manage time, energy, and motivation in ways that protect well-being.
    • Understanding and leveraging individual strengths within a team can lead to increased productivity, efficiency, and happiness. Recognising and utilising each team member's signature strengths can create a strong team culture and support success.
    • Effective leadership involves seeing the bigger picture and creating an environment that sets individuals up for success. This includes understanding team members' strengths, providing support, and fostering a positive and optimistic mindset.
    • The concept of flow, or being in a state of deep focus and productivity, can greatly enhance performance and satisfaction. Learning to optimise flow and prioritise deep work can lead to better results and a sense of fulfilment.
    • Kindness, love, and optimism are key components of successful relationships. Being open to receiving love, maintaining an illusion of positive intent, and cultivating an optimistic mindset can greatly impact relationships in all areas of life.

    BEST MOMENTS

    "If you're fundamentally not prioritising yourself as your top priority, then you'll not achieve all the things that you want to achieve in life." 

    "The body that you walk around in is your vehicle. If you're not looking after that, to the best of your ability, then you're not going to be able to sustain the journey that you take it on."

    "Kindness is about being lovingly honest and authentic and open." 

    "Not all problems are yours to fix. If someone is behaving in a way that's not okay, and you believe it's part of a much bigger part of who they are, then it's their responsibility to manage that, it's not yours."

    "Resilience has long been flagged as being one of the key factors in success."
