Sarah Wilson – Crusader for People & Planet

  • July 20, 2021July 20, 2021
  • by Claire

We are so excited about this episode featuring an inspiring and no-topic-off-limits conversation with the globally renowned Sarah Wilson.

Sarah has achieved massively in multiple arenas; she’s a former journalist and TV presenter, she’s an author and activist and successful entrepreneur. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers I Quit Sugar and First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, which best-selling author Mark Manson described as the best book on living with anxiety that he’d ever read. 

Along with her latest book, ‘This One Wild and Precious Life’, Sarah has been ranked as one of the top 200 influential authors in the world and her online wellness ‘I Quit Sugar’ program was taken by 1.5 million people around the world.

These days, Sarah’s a campaigner for the causes that matter and, in particular, the climate crisis. Her determination to motivate us all to do what we can, is matched only by her research, her passion and her own crusading life. 

In this open and vulnerable episode you’ll learn:

  • How Sarah’s childhood explains so much about the leader she is today
  • How she has completely reframed and values her anxiety
  • What happened when she was at her lowest ever point
  • How important hiking is to Sarah, and
  • Why 3.5% is such a magnificent and hopeful number. 

Now, on a serious note, during our conversation as Sarah goes deep and vulnerable, we want to alert you that she describes a time she had dark and suicidal thoughts. If you think this might trigger you or someone listening with you please take the appropriate care. 

We think you’ll just love this episode with the crusading and inspiring Sarah Wilson…

Dr Jacinta Jiménez – Fixing Burnout

  • March 16, 2021
  • by Claire

We’re excited to bring you this week’s important conversation with psychologist, burnout expert, author and leadership coach, Dr Jacinta Jiménez.

We’ve actually known Jacinta for some years and followed her great work on leadership, coaching and high performance with keen interest. We were really excited when she told us about her new book, The Burnout Fix.

Jacinta had broken new ground with this book deconstructing and presenting burnout in an actionable way we’d never seen before, and all of it is science backed. 

Jacinta studied and obtained her doctorate in Psychology from Stanford University where she focused on peak performance, motivation and behaviour change.  

What makes her so interesting to speak to and learn from is that she has also more recently spent several years in the tech startup world helping to build a coaching-at-scale business called BetterUp, in San Francisco. 

In this episode and in her new book, Jacinta deconstructs burnout and you’ll hear how: 

  • Her own 2 burnout experiences changed and shaped her career
  • The telltale signs of burnout may not be what you think they are
  • How the focus of her work has been influenced by being one of the few Latina women in her field;  and 
  • You’ll learn about a model you can use to help prevent burnout happening to you.

So without further ado enjoy this episode with the passionate and learned Dr Jacinta Jiménez …

Jennifer Aaker & Naomi Bagdonas – Humour as a…

  • October 6, 2020October 6, 2020
  • by Claire

We think you’re going to love this week’s episode featuring two super impressive women who, amongst other things, teach at Stanford University’s famed Graduate School of Business (GSB).

Yes, today you get two for the price of one! 😉

Despite their serious surrounds, these two are determined to bring levity and humour to the world having discovered just how powerful humour can be in dark times and at work.

Jennifer Aaker is General Atlantic Professor at Stanford’s GSB, where she has been one of the favourite professors there for around 20 years. She’s a Behavioural Psychologist and author, and her research focus areas include: purpose and meaning and how they shape the choices we make; and most recently she’s been working with our other guest today, Naomi Bagdonas on the power of using humour in a business context.

Naomi Bagdonas was a stand up comic by night and a management consultant by day, never mixing the two, until one day she realised that she was living an almost double life and decided it was time to be herself wherever she was. These days Naomi is a lecturer at Stanford, an Executive Coach, an author and she even teaches improv comedy to inmates at San Francisco’s County Jail.

Jennifer and Naomi began teaching the importance of humour to MBA students and then realised that what they’d discovered was what the world really needed right now . . . hence their new book out this week, ‘Humour, Seriously’.

In this laughter-filled episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why Naomi and Jennifer believe humour is a secret superpower at work and in life,
  • How we all fall off a humour cliff at the age of 23 and what we can do about it,
  • Practical tips to increase creativity and innovation in your team, and
  • How you can potentially gain an additional 8 years on your life!

Enjoy this episode with these two witty, wickedly smart women …
