Creating Time in Your Week to Think
We are working at a time when we are constantly bombarded with things that need our attention. Countless emails arriving in our inbox before we’ve had time to deal with yesterday’s emails, in back to back meetings all day barely stopping to grab some lunch, calls from senior colleagues with another new task or project for our to do lists. So, we get through it by diligently ticking things off our to do list and hoping that by the end of the week that to do list is a bit smaller (spoiler alert: it never is). Sound familiar? In this episode I’m going to share how you can step out of that busy trance you’ve been stuck in for so long and create the time you need to think about the important things. If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

Handling Negative Feedback Like A Pro
Even the most confident of female leaders can struggle to deal with negative or critical feedback. When we are working really hard and doing our best such feedback can at best be demotivating and at worst really knock our confidence. Many of us also let the words (and the stories we tell ourselves about those words) whirr around in our head for hours, if not days. But it is possible to hear negative feedback without it sending you into a spiral of self-doubt. In this episode I’m going to share some ways you can become more resilient in the face of negative feedback, how to deal with it in the moment and how to let go of it after it has happened. If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

How Successful Leaders Think
I’m going to come right out and say it - mindset is the secret superpower of successful leaders. Too many leadership books and books focus on the strategies and tactics of leadership without ever addressing the fact that you can have all the strategies in the world but if you don’t have the right mindset you’ll never be able to action them effectively. In this episode I am going to share with you how those successful leaders think differently so you too can improve every meeting you attend and make more impact at work. If you enjoy this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.
