E056 Diving Deep into Episodes 51-55

In this episode, Mel dives deep into these recent podcast episodes:

E051 Look After Your Mental Health with Rosie Tressler OBE

E052 Self-Awareness is Key with Nicola Arnold 

E053 Being a Mindful Leader with Dr Reiner Kraft

E054 US Higher Education Trends with Lori Capullo

E055 Managing Redundancy with John Burns

Reflecting on the final words of wisdom, shared by each of her guests, Mel considers how their insight might help people on their leadership journey:

*      Rosie encouraged us to be deliberate about our own mental health and get better at saying no.

*      Nicola, meanwhile, inspired us to be a positive disruptor and asked the question, “Where are you creating space right now to do new things?”

*      For Reiner, he wanted us to practice being mindful for one minute, starting small and building up from there.

*      Lori reminded us of the importance of listening. Listen not to respond but truly hear what is being said.

*      And finally, John Burns advised not to stay in a job that isn’t right for us.

KEY TAKEAWAY

“Self-awareness is the greatest skill we can have as leaders because we turn our attention inwards instead of looking outside for answers. And that isn't always a comfortable process, holding a mirror up to ourselves. We have to get comfortable with who we are with knowing our superpowers, but also those blind spots that can trip us up. When we have self-awareness, we have choice. We can choose how we act and behave.”
