• How to spot the warning signs
• Why most of what we're doing to prevent burnout at work is back-to-front, accidentally fixing the wrong thing
• And practical things you can do today, to turn this around

Here's where we're talking about this episode, over on LinkedIn.

One of the things I'm asked most often by leaders, at the end of a keynote, is how to bring up the subject of Imposter Syndrome with a colleague or team member - and then what to do to help them.

It's so easy to freeze, or talk ourselves out of broaching it, or worry that the other person will react badly, or that we won't know what to say or do next...

... So we avoid it. And that leaves the person stuck. It perpetuates the taboo. And we feel bad, because we wanted to make a difference.

So in today's Soul Led Leaders podcast episode I'm going to share with you what you can do, mistakes to avoid, and how to find out what to do to move beyond 'tea and sympathy' if you've got it right and the person wants help.

In today's episode of the Soul Led Leaders podcast, you'll discover:

• Why we bottle it!
• The risks of getting it wrong
• The two things you must (I don't use that word lightly!) do, before you take that deep breath and leap in
• How to start the conversation
• The five super-common mistakes to avoid
• And how to actually help the person to turn things around

Lack of flexible working was found in the 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study to be one of three hidden drivers of the gender pay gap. The increased out-of-hours commitment so often required in senior roles and the difficulty in fitting work around family was shown to disproportionately disadvantage women with school-aged children.

So Zurich Insurance decided to take bold action. Driven by data and a passion for diversity and inclusion, they have now succeeded in making 80% of their UK roles part time, flexi-time or job-share. And far from having a negative impact on the bottom line, they've seen astonishing results.

They're making measurable progress on closing the gender pay gap, and their employee engagement and satisfaction have increased. And all of this was during the challenges of the 2020/21 Covid-19 lockdowns.

In this candid and action-inspiring interview, Emma Francis - Head of Diversity & Inclusion for Zurich Insurance - shares:

• what prompted them to take action
• how they got buy-in from the key decision-makers
• what people's concerns or initial objections were
• how they overcame them
• the benefits they have seen - it's not just gender equity
• what advice Emma would give other companies who might be considering this route

Janet Hitchen's career has seen her advising leaders at companies from Apple to Nespresso, as a trusted guide in creating best-in-class communications strategies. Known as a 'rebel woman', she asks the questions that create breakthroughs, in ways that get everyone on board.

In this inspirational interview, as part of the #MakingHybridWork Lockdown Leadership Conference 2021, she'll be discussing the cultural shifts organisations need to make, to allow their teams to thrive with hybrid working, and how to communicate them in ways that get people excited, instead of scared, about change.

Listen now to discover:

• Why starting with 'how' gets hybrid back-to-front
• The danger of making decisions from the view of power and control - yet why so many organisations are falling into this trap
• How gaslighting employees back into the office risks becoming the new epidemic
• The one core thing that has changed for employees, which means that 'business as usual' risks an exodus
• The single most valuable thing a manager can do right now, to get their teams on board
• How to avoid homogenised group-think and bring cognitive diversity into hybrid-working decisions
• How to communicate our hybrid-working decisions in ways that inspire people to thrive, instead of getting them searching the job-hunting websites
•

In today's third episode in our burnout-prevention mini-series, I want to talk about why positive thinking can make stress worse, and what you could be doing instead!

This one is for you if you have an inner critic that has been highly resistant to becoming a genuine cheerleader, or you ever find yourself swamped in that negative self-talk that drags you down, that increases your stress levels, that makes you feel overwhelmed, and it holds you back from becoming the leader you were born to be, and making an even bigger difference in the world.

• Why positive affirmations and positive thinking can make stress worse
• Why it's not your fault! Hint: it's down to body-chemistry and demystified neuroscience
• The stress cycle - and how this is at the root of all this
• How this triggers burnout, without us even realising - and the role of the two types of fear
• How flip-flops trigger the backfire effect to trigger internal conflict
• My super-easy sixty-second strategy for burnout prevention

There are two types of fear - and one of them plays a major role in overwhelm, anxiety and burnout. But which is it? And what can you do about it?

This episode of the Soul Led Leaders podcast is for you if you ever find yourself feeling exhausted after your inner critic has taken you into the boxing ring, or if your 3am self-talk leaves you feeling far-from-positive about your day.

• Why knowing the difference between these two types of fear is more important now than ever before
• What the two types of fear are and how you can tell the difference
• Why your body doesn't care which type you're running
• How niggles become worries that turn into super-fears - creating mountains out of molehills
• The two self-mentoring questions that can bring that mountain back down to size
• Long-term solutions to set yourself free from the power of these fears

Lockdown burnout has millions on their knees - exhausted, overwhelmed and stressed. The 'togetherness' that got us through the spring 2020 lockdown has disappeared. And those juggling work-from-home with school-at-home have dipped well below empty.

• The impact of hypervigilance
• Mind-story drama and the stress cycle
• Why this affects our ability to concentrate, meaning things take much longer - aka which day of the week is it?!

Today's episode is all about why we need to reset our lockdown response, if we want to avoid post lockdown burnout - in ourselves and in our teams.

This one is for you if you are secretly on your knees - exhausted, overwhelmed and stressed - or if you've got members of your team who you think might be struggling, even if they're pretending everything is ok. And you want to know what you can do to support them.

• How lockdown has got people on their knees - and it's not what we might think
• How stress levels have affected performance and productivity, meaning now is the wrong time to assess whether remote working is a good idea
• The essential factor that kept us all going, back at the start, and why it has now disappeared
• Why we need to press reset - urgently - on the lockdown coping strategies that risk becoming life-long habits

Today's episode is for you if you're the kind of leader who wants to make sure their team isn't just 'performing', but they're thriving emotionally. You want to be able to spot when someone might need emotional support, as we move out of lockdown.

You'll learn seven secret signs that someone needs that emotional support. And you'll discover how to spot them even if you're on a Zoom call, rather than face-to-face. Plus we'll cover strategies to handle this, without turning into a therapist.

• Why classic 'resilience' is causing performance problems and mental and emotional health issues
• Seven secret signs that a team member might need emotional support, even if they're putting on an Oscar-winning performance of everything being ok
• Why this is so vital - for the individual, for your teams, and for your company - as we move out of lockdown
• The hidden reasons why anxiety levels are rising at the moment, rather than decreasing, even though the Covid-19 risk is decreasing
• Strategies for rebuilding your teams, especially if people were furloughed, to help people to move from surviving to thriving
