This episode explores how many people manage their climb up their career ladder.
We discuss how
§ Morphing to match company values and rules can cause leaders to âlose themselvesâ.
§ Loss of self leads to uncomfortable compromises in values creating daily stress.
§ Leaders who lose themselves are less likely to progress or meet their potential.
We exlpore how to âresetâ your values and stand up as a leader; someone who itâs âeasyâ to promote and who inspires those around them.
Finally, we pose four questions
1. Are you clear what your values and non-negotiables at work are?
If not, how will you define them and be clear on what they really are?2. What are you tolerating at work, thatâs out of line with your values?
3. What one action will you take to reset and reinforce your value system?

As we see many companies cutting costs and downsizing we discuss how this affects the people who stay, those who leave, the leaders driving the change, and those who have to give the âtough messagesâ.We explore the upsides and risks to people and organisations in terms of productivity, talent, financial performance, and how âdownsizing stressâ easily leads to value destruction.
We consider
â What âgood people-centricâ downsizing looks like.
â How leaders can maximise value, minimise stress, and mitigate business risks.
And we share real-world examples weâre been part of.
Finally, we ask listeners to consider how they âhandleâ downsizingâŠ

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?

Part one of a three part series, this week we chat about ego in leadership.
What is it?
What is the difference between a healthy /unhealthy ego and what does that look like?
Ego is a learnt pattern of behaviour. It's often hard to admit and hard to accept and is also something we weren't necessarily taught about.
But... By being more aware of where you stand, how your ego shows up and having a greater understanding and awareness of others, you can model what healthy looks like and infect the people around you in a positive way.
What ego state do you take to work and what is the impact of that on the people around you?It starts and ends with 'U'...

This week we chat about how we build great organisations and workplaces by creating healthy connections with each other.
We often forget that businesses are only made up of people. We get obsessed with ROI, value creation, impact, deadlines, looking good, being seen and deliverables etc - in other words, jargon that dehumanises workplaces.
This is about aligning shoulder to shoulder around what truly matters...
Which is challenging!
Why?
Because we fear being vulnerable and using 'soft skills' (emotional intelligence)
We get stuck in power struggles, hierarchies and play by invisible rules that aren't real unless we play by them
We make assumptions about what the other person thinks of us ( truth is - they feel the same)
There's a power differential or stress - one person has more organisational 'power/control'It starts and ends with 'U'...

In this week's episode we chat about how to take small solid bite-sized actions on your own behalf to stand up with confidence even if you don't feel it.
It's easy to get stuck in your comfort zone of stress and keep working harder, doing more, trying to fix things or rescue people or situations - this may feel familiar and safe.
But, by taking one small new or different step into a small amount of discomfort, (which IS uncomfortable) by stepping up and moving forwards on your own behalf, you will feel more grounded, in control, and that you have power over what's happening.This is about your inner leader... And how to take small solid bite-sized actions on your own behalf to unstick what stops you.

In this new episode we unravel how taking responsibility, standing up and how vulnerability in the workplace defines leaders and gives others permission to be human.
How vulnerability in the workplace allows people to truly 'see' you and taking responsibility and telling the truth are shortcuts to gaining respect
We discuss the notion of command and control, punishment and power in the workplace, the negative impact that can have and reflect on the importance of teachable moments and using mistakes and difficult situations as learning opportunities.It starts and ends with 'U'...
