E12. Ebb and Flow with Anna Campbell-Jones

Thursday, October 17, 2024 • Duration 47:37

In this episode of Space to Think, I sit down with designer and TV presenter Anna Campbell-Jones. You may know Anna as one of the judges on Scotland’s Home of the Year, but in our conversation, she reveals much more about her creative journey and life philosophy.

We explore creativity, creating a brand, perfectionism and working with life’s ebb and flow. Anna shares personal stories and reflections, offering a reminder that sometimes, you just have to "make it look intentional" and not worry too much about what others think. It’s an insightful and relatable conversation for anyone navigating the complexities of creativity, work, and life.

Listen now to hear Anna’s inspiring take on creativity, embracing imperfection, and finding trust in yourself.

E11. Perfectionism with Dr Lucy Kelly

Thursday, October 3, 2024 • Duration 44:06

Dr Lucy Kelly is Associate Professer in Education at Bristol University and author of Reimagining the Diary: Reflective practice as a positive tool for educator wellbeing. Lucy is currently engaged in the process of writing her second book on the topic of Perfectionism. In this episode we unpack some of the definitions and research around perfectionism, how we might recognise it in ourselves and how we might work with it rather than having it work against us. Lucy openly shares about her relationship with perfectionism in life and writing.

E2. Leaping with Suzy Walker

Thursday, May 16, 2024 • Duration 54:11

My guest today is journalist and founder of the Alnwick Story Festival as well as running The Heart Leap Substack, a self-development and writing community.

I was curious to learn more about Suzy's experience of leaping, it's not a word of action I use often! Suzy reflects that for her, the leap is between the head and the heart. Such a small physical distance between head and heart, and yet, often this is where the struggle is. She shares some wonderful stories about how leaping has served her in different ways over the years.

We touch on those negative voices we all experience, the role of and relationship with feedback in our lives and work and we pick up my first guest, Robert’s ideas of improvisation. Suzy sees improvisation as an invitation. An invitation to step into the river of life, and for her, the worst thing she could do would be to not accept invitations. This is how she does everything, this is how she does life.

And so, I invite you to join us, and step into the river of our conversation.

E1. The Power of the Pause, Improvisation and Conversation with Robert Poynton

Thursday, May 2, 2024 • Duration 57:21

In this first episode I am joined by Robert Poynton, amongst other things (which he’ll tell you more about) he is the author of three Do/Books on the topics of improvisation, pausing and conversation.

Now.. I’m not going to lie…recording a conversation with someone who has written about these topics was a little daunting, we allowed the conversation to flow and meander through elements of pausing, improvisation and conversation. It was a quick hour and there’s more we could have explored and I’m sure we will pick up some of those threads in the future.

This is one of those conversations you’ll want to return to and listen again. I’d love to hear what connects with you most.

E10. Freedom in Boundaries with Anna Considine

Thursday, September 19, 2024 • Duration 40:36

Join me in conversation with Anna Considine, the founder of Studio Gently, brand photography for kind and creative kin. Boundaries are one of those things we often find it hard to clearly articulate what they are but we know when they’ve been pushed or trampled over. We can enforce them or stick to them when we aren’t clear what they are.

Anna shares the story of why boundaries in work (and life) are so important to her. We consider how we might get really clear on what our boundaries are and how we then communicate and share them with others. Anna not only can talk about boundaries with clarity and honesty but she also embodies them and by sharing her experiences as she does in this conversation I know she’s helping a lot of others too. We finish by touching on what Anna refers to as the symbiotic relationship between creativity and boundaries.

You can explore Anna’s website for more information on how you can work with her or connect with her on Instagram to follow her brilliant photography. Anna also enjoys LinkedIn so if you are over there, do connect and say hello.

E9. A Retreat for the Mind with Oliver Burkeman

Thursday, September 5, 2024 • Duration 53:30

Oliver Burkeman is well known for his best-selling book 4000 Weeks, a book that I have shared with many and I know (because they have been excited to tell me) it has shifted their thinking, changed their relationship with time or their inbox or given them a new perspective on decisions they’ve been pondering or indeed agonising over. 4000 Weeks encourages us to embrace our limits and let go of perfectionism.

In this episode Oliver and I touch on 4000 Weeks (it’s impossible not to) alongside his upcoming book Meditations for Mortals (out on 12 September and available for pre-order). Meditations for Mortals is designed as a ‘retreat for the mind’, 28 short chapters that Oliver encourages you to read daily, finding and practising the inner shifts in new or different ways.

E6. Cultivating Leadership Presence with Maggie Farrar

Thursday, August 1, 2024 • Duration 54:50

In this episode, I chat with Maggie Farrar about presence in leadership. Maggie has worked in Education for many years as a teacher and as a leader, and found that her personal mindfulness practice was a cornerstone of her leadership practice. Having trained as a mindfulness practitioner, her work with leaders focuses on supporting others to cultivate mindfulness in life and work.

We explore how mindfulness practice and wellbeing, in general, have become more acceptable to talk about and how well they integrate into leadership practice and development. Maggie has a wonderful way of honouring the tradition in which her work sits and sharing it in a way that engages and supports busy, tired and often overwhelmed leaders.

In 2022, Maggie published her book Leading With Presence, It’s An Inside Job. Her experience of leadership programmes was that they tended to focus on the outer world of leadership, leaving the inner world of leaders neglected and unexplored. She hopes that her book helps to re-dress the imbalance and supports leaders in cultivating awareness and practical ways of developing mindfulness and presence.
