| Everyday Leadership Shorts - Why We Focus On The Negative | 09 May 2022 | 00:10:01 | |
"Is this feedback true? Is this feedback helpful? Is it something I can do something with or is it something I need to let go off" Feedback is something we ALL experience in some shape or form, some seek this out while others run and hide when feedback is offered. Regardless of what the feedback is, being able to step back, assess and then act, will position you in a place where feedback will become your friend. Our brains are wired to spot the danger, the negativity and hone in on this compared to the more positive things. But similar to a computer, we can reprogramme our brains & understanding. So when you are faced with some feedback, remember to step back and ask yourself those 3 questions.

"I was very unhappy, and I said, why am i doing this? Why am I living this life of maybe what i think is supposed to be successful?" There seems to be a certain moment where we all stop, take a step back and assess if this is what we really want? Most of the time we are forced into this space, into this questioning of what we want life to be and what truly makes us happy. It can be daunting to leave what you know to unlearn, relearn and create something new that gives you purpose, passion and joy in life. Yes, the opportunities are unknown but the journey of starting to live your authentic self is a great starting point. In this weeks episode, Oorbee Roy takes us on the unexpected but thrilling exciting of finding yourself, living your purpose, and picking up a skateboard at age 43.

About "Aunty Skates" Oorbee Roy Oorbee Roy is Toronto based designer, marketer, content creator, and skateboarder. Four years ago, at the age of 43, she was inspired to take up skateboarding when my kids started.

After building her career in computer science and engineering that took her from Bell Labs to Wall Street, Oorbee recognised that there was still something missing in her life. She took the plunge and started her journey to live a purposeful life, in her definition.

| Getting out of the Golden Handcuffs: Failures & Lessons as a Leader with Laura Gassner Otting | 19 Apr 2022 | 01:03:18 | |
"We love to talk about failure in hindsight...the question is not whether youll fail or not, the question is will you learn, from the failure?" Redefining our understanding and relationships with failure and challenges, is what set certain people apart. You know the ones that seem to remain so calm and zen regardless of whats happening? The one thing they have in common, alongside this week's guest, is knowing that failure is a potential lesson, and its definitely an opportunity for something new. So how do you get out of your bubble and learn to listen to yourself rather than others? How do you discover doors and reach the success, that you want, the true authentic you? In this weeks episode, Laura Gassner Otting and I discuss how you can positively move through any space with authenticity and understanding of yourself. Its about trying to get some hindsight before it happens. So dont always look and listen for help externally, as you are the only one that can lead yourself. About Laura Gassner Otting Author, Catalyst, and Coach Laura Gassner Otting inspires people to push past the doubt and indecision that keep great ideas in limbo by helping audiences think bigger and accept greater challenges that reach beyond their current, limited scope of belief. She delivers strategic thinking, well-honed wisdom, and a catalytic perspective informed by decades of navigating change across the start-up, nonprofit, political, and philanthropic landscapes. Lauras rebellious and entrepreneurial edge has been well-honed over a 25-year career that started when she dropped out of law school to join an unknown southern governors presidential campaign, and ended up as a Presidential Appointee in Bill Clintons White House, where she helped shape AmeriCorps.

"The most undervalued resource we have is the compass right inside of us. Knowing the direction you are heading is more important than having all the steps defined.

My response was not elaborate, it was only 3 words and it left her wanting more however those 3 words have been a useful lens that I have used repeatedly to filter my thoughts when I had to make decisions as a husband, father and as a man.

| Breaking Down the Role of Ego as a Leader with Martin Pemberton | 30 Nov 2021 | 01:07:46 | |
"Labels put limits on people, it's about fixing your mindset..and realising that I will be anything that I need to be based on that present moment" - Martin Pemberton When we attach what we are good at with "who we are" and this stops happening, it can seem like your world has crumbled to pieces. The ego loves labels, it doesn't show gratitude, it makes you think you are better (or less) than someone, it pushes you into spaces that you may not desire. But it is becoming more important to not only have self-awareness but awareness of self in our lives. In this week's episode, Martin Pemberton, ex footballer shares relatable understandings of the role of ego in our lives. It can be our personal bodyguard and can protect us, but it's not front of house, and should not be in control. About Martin Pemberton Martin Pemberton is an English football central defender who has played for many different professional clubs before moving to non-league side Farsley Celtic in spring 2005. It became a challenging period with personal battles with mental health issues after retiring from a career as a professional footballer and entering into a challenging role as Learning Mentor for disadvantaged children. This started his self-recovery and self-love journey which led him to create the 1 to 11 structure to help with finding your personal blueprint of happiness, with references to football.
