This episode was prompted by a request from one of the members of my Women Leading community who asked how she could build more personal resilience around the impact of decisions she was making at work and be a little more “Teflon coated”.
Perhaps you relate – you need to make tough decisions as a leader but you take things to heart, you care about people and their wellbeing and sometimes the decisions you make can have significant impact on others.
Or perhaps you are the person who is implementing the decisions that others have made and cascading unwelcome news or making unpopular changes. You may be involved in a restructure for example or taking a team member through performance management.
Now, I didn’t want to call this ‘how to care less as a leader’ because I don’t think that those of us who care a lot would embrace the idea of caring less. Caring, having empathy, being conscious of the impact of our decisions on people - these are all wonderful traits for a leader to have and may well be a huge strength of yours as a leader.
However, if caring has no boundaries around it then you could be heading towards sleepless nights, self-doubt and possibly even burnout.
In this episode I’m going to explore 3 insights and 3 tools and techniques to help you if you are someone who cares too much as a leader.

Whilst some women sail through perimenopause, lots of us struggle with symptoms including brain fog, sleep issues, hot flushes and anxiety. Those symptoms can impede our ability to work, impact our confidence and cause an alarming number of women to leave their jobs.

We discuss:
Why employers should care about supporting women through this transition
What managers can do to be supportive of colleagues struggling with perimenopause symptoms
How to talk to your line manager about your symptoms and what support you can request

When I was sent a book called The Emotional Overdraft I instinctively knew that this was a topic that was going to resonate with me personally and you as listeners to this podcast.
An emotional overdraft is when you as a leader habitually overcome your employer’s challenges at the cost of our own physical and mental health. Sound familiar?
I am seeing this happening a LOT at the moment with the women within my Women Leading community so I was excited to dive into the topic with the book’s author Andy Brown.
We discussed:
The cost of going too deep into your emotional overdraft How to start paying it back What behaviours or drivers create our emotional overdraft The role of management skills and influencing in changing a culture which relies on people being emotionally overdrawn How to approach urgency and filling short term gaps more strategically How the emotional overdraft shows up outside of workMy name’s Carla Miller, leadership coach, author and trainer.

Do you find yourself overpromising and creating unnecessary stress for yourself? Or putting in lots more effort than anyone expects, or needs you to? How about saying yes when you’ve got no capacity to get more work done or jumping into help when no-one has asked you to?
If any of those resonate it sounds like you may be overcommitting - constantly trying to show how much value you add, by going above and beyond when it isn’t needed.
In this episode I’m going to…
break down the ways we overcommit
explain why we overcommit
share the questions you can ask to help you dial back the overcommitting (and still do a great job!)
I also share a brilliant new free resource I’ve created for you – the How To Say No Challenge which you can sign up to at carlamillertraining.com/sayno
This is the first in a series of 3 podcasts this summer around mindset and setting boundaries and you can expect an episode on people pleasing and another one on worrying too much what people think of you. I’ve also recorded some great guest interviews such as exclusive presence and managing the menopause which we’ll be releasing in the coming months.

Many workplaces are dominated by short term thinking, intense pressure to produce immediate results and a focus on growth at all costs. Sound familiar? This short term focus often leads to poor decision making, poor long term performance and risks employee burnout.
In today’s episode my guest Cath Bishop makes a powerful case for implementing what she calls Long Win Thinking. Cath knows a bit about winning as a three time Olympian with a silver medal and a fascinating career in diplomacy within conflict zones!
We discuss:
Why workplaces benefit from focusing on the Long Win
How Cath’s mindset around winning shifted across her 3 Olympic Games and how she felt at the start line of her medal-winning Olympic race
What insights Cath has taken from her diplomatic experience into leadership coaching
How early in life we start thinking winning is important
Separating performance from results and winning
Cath’s 3 C model for implementing long win thinking in your team

If you’ve noticed unhelpful patterns of behaviours playing out in your team or if you’ve got a tense relationship with a colleague then this week’s episode can provide insight into what’s causing those patterns.
My guest, leadership coach and podcast host Rebekah Whitaker shares why we get pulled into the ‘drama triangle’ and what we can learn from Transactional Analysis to understand ourselves and our relationships with others better.
Transactional Analysis is new to me so it was really interesting to understand the ‘drama triangle’ and reflect on how it plays out in the workplace and the role we can play as leaders in creating more positive behaviours and relationships.
In this episode Rebekah provides an introduction to this concept and I’m delighted that she’s running a workshop within Women Leading this autumn to bring the next level of insights into how leaders can reduce drama within their teams.

We cover…
Why networking is key to developing your career and accessing opportunities
How to build your network in a way that works for you
The power of making genuine connections rather than working the room
How to make yourself actually go to networking events
Making the most of networking opportunities
Creating a croissant not a bagel (you’ll have to listen to decipher that one)

As leaders we’d all like to have happy teams but how do we create the right environment to achieve that? I interview Richard Clarke, creator of the popular Happy Teams substack newsletter, about his experience building a company centred on team happiness and the work he does helping companies create happier teams.
We discuss…
What makes people happy at work The 5 factors that influence team happiness Who is responsible for your team’s happinessRichard Clarke is the founder and ex-CEO of Secret Source, an IT company based in Spain. In 2014 he had a theory, if he set up a company whose main KPIs were team and client happiness then the team would collaborate better, be more aligned with their clients and perform better and all the traditional measures of success, profit, revenue, growth would naturally follow. For 10 years Richard studied the science of happiness in the workplace and applied it in his company. In 2022, with almost 50 employees Richard handed over the role of CEO and he now dedicates his life to sharing his knowledge. He writes, speaks and teaches leaders and organisations how to use the science of happiness and wellbeing to build better teams.
