514 Reflections with Actions with Amy Rowlinson12 May 202600:44:52

In this solo podcast episode of Focus on WHY, I reflect on the powerful insights shared by five recent guests and explore how intentional reflection can inspire meaningful action. From vulnerability and cultural awareness to justice, sustainable impact, personal growth and visible leadership, each conversation offers practical wisdom for navigating life and work with greater purpose. Drawing on the following episodes with Louise Baxter MBE, Marina Ibrahim, Dr Nancy R. Irwin, Randi Halaway and Sarah Perugia, I share reflections and actionable ideas to help you move forward with renewed clarity, alignment and intention:

509 Living in a World of Vulnerability with Louise Baxter MBE

510 Cultural Dimensions with Marina Ibrahim

511 Justice, Respect and Sustainable Impact with Dr Nancy Irwin

512 Letting Go for Growth with Randi Halaway

513 Turning Invisible Work into Visible Leadership with Sarah Perugia

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Reflection only becomes transformative when it leads to action. Perhaps the greatest protection we can offer one another in a world of vulnerability is not perfection or constant vigilance, but humanity."

505 Limitless Potential with Chaandani Khan11 Mar 202600:38:48

Have you ever wondered how significant life-changing experiences reshape our sense of purpose? After a life-changing brain injury, Chandani Khan rebuilt her world through intentionality, acceptance and an unshakeable growth mindset. She shares how she navigated identity loss, moved from a deeply inward healing journey to outward service and now leads change in concussion care through patient-centred education and community. Chandani explores limiting beliefs, the idea of before, current and new selves, and the beauty of creating purpose from within. This powerful conversation focuses on resilience, identity and limitless potential.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Sometimes you have to lose who you thought you were to discover who you truly are right now."

 

ABOUT THE GUEST – CHAANDANI KHAN

Chaandani Khan is the founder of Return to Life, a specialized practice that helps medical and allied health practitioners integrate a concussion-informed approach into services. She brings a wealth of knowledge gained through experience plus research, and is focused on leading systemic change in the delivery of concussion care. Six years ago a brain injury derailed Chaandani's life, which left her navigating PPCS (persistent post-concussive symptoms) and an overwhelming amount of loss. Preparing a cup of tea, washing clothes and sending a single email became monumental challenges and her familiar, fast-paced lifestyle appeared impossibly far out of reach. Attending years of recovery appointments and ingraining herself in the concussion recovery space allowed her to identify key gaps in service and systems, and the demand for a new path forward.

406 Strategic Gender Balance with Kathy Coleman04 Jun 202400:38:21

How essential is gender balance for business success? Does your workplace view challenges as growth opportunities? After a health crisis, Kathy Coleman shifted from a "just get on with it" mindset to valuing the vital role of emotional intelligence and gender balance in thriving organisations. Now through her work in gender balance and corporate transformation, Kathy emphasises the importance of balanced leadership traits for success, happiness, and well-being. Challenging the status quo and redefining workplace dynamics to foster a more fulfilling professional life, Kathy pioneers a different approach to gender balance: one that delivers transformational change for individuals, organisations and bottom-line profit.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

'A more feminine approach is not just let's be clear about why we want to do this, but also let's enjoy the journey of getting there, and let's make it mean something for people, not just for profit.'

 

ABOUT KATHY

Kathy Coleman spent over three decades delivering transformative change programmes on behalf of CapGemini, Deloitte and EY. Conforming to the traditional masculine characteristics of leadership took its toll and Kathy suffered a severe health scare. Inspired by her own journey and recovery Kathy now champions a paradigm shift that allows women (and men) to embrace their feminine leadership traits and find success, happiness and wellbeing from a more balanced and authentic place.

Tired of the corporate world grind? From burnout to brilliance, Ben Wales was once there, but he found his calling in guiding values-driven founders/CEOs and their teams from high performance to high transformation accelerating both the growth and impact of their companies.

Shifting into his zone of genius, and aligning his actions with values, now with his B Corp, Ben focuses on making a positive impact to people, planet and profit.

393 Becoming the Artist with Bernii Mac20 Mar 202400:38:59

Be unique but conform. Stand out but look like this to fit in. With a deep desire to make it in the music industry these were the paradoxes Bernii Mac faced. Taking on board the messaging she felt might help elevate her career meant Bernii got swept up in the machine and lost touch with her authenticity which affected her mental health and wellbeing. This experience formed the foundation of Bernii's purpose-driven focus to empower new musical artists. Helping them build their music career with authenticity whilst ensuring that their wellbeing remains centre stage, this is Bernii's passionate vision to becoming the artist. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Just remember that you can do it. If this is something that you want, stay true to who you are, stay true to what you want to say and what you believe in and go out there and make it happen."

 

ABOUT BERNII
Bernii is a session vocalist, vocal coach and founder of the online musical membership Bernii Mac's Becoming The Artist which connects new musical artists to both music business mentors and self-care experts. Based on her own experiences spanning over a 25-year career, Bernii works to spread the message of authenticity, mental health awareness, well-being and self-care in the music business. To further explore this topic and have a chance to join in the conversation, Bernii is running an in-person event with a panel of established music industry speakers held on May 16th, 2024 at The Exchange, North Shields, UK.

392 Healing Power of Nature with Isaac Kenyon13 Mar 202400:46:34

Do you ever find yourself trapped indoors lost in the digital shuffle craving fresh air? Having attributed nature to saving his life, it is nature which now fuels eco-adventurer, international keynote speaker and philanthropist Isaac Kenyon's purpose-driven mission. Leaving behind him the deepest depths of digital burnout to redefine human endurance through many world-record achievements and by raising millions of pounds for environmental conservation and mental health causes, Isaac's purpose is clear. It is to create a positive impact. Connecting people, planet and wellbeing, Isaac reveals just what is possible when you combine moments of creation with adventure and the healing power of nature.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Without a purpose it can be quite easy to follow the journey that others lay out for you. I found that during those two years of deep unhappiness that I was following steps carved by others for me and I wasn't following what I wanted to do and that was manifesting in negative ways.

384 Thoughtful Giving with Mindy Gibbins-Klein24 Jan 202400:42:04

Are you a 1% giver? How much of your income goes towards charitable giving and how much time do you spend on self-reflection? Having sold her publishing company, speaker, author and multi-award-winning entrepreneur Mindy Gibbins-Klein found herself blessed with more time to reflect on what really mattered to her. In 2020, Mindy recognised that whilst her income had gone up, her charitable giving had not kept up. She suspected she was not alone and so created a way for others to be more mindful of how they could support charities through thoughtful giving.

 

KEY TAKEAWAY

"Many people think they have to have everything all figured out and this stops them because they try to control everything. They have a closed mind. They're not open to new interactions and magical things happening and they simply don't see it because they think this is the way it has to happen."
