Ep111: Beneath the Facade - A Dance between our Private Beliefs and our Public Persona

In this episode, I chew the phat with gorgeous Conor Randall in sunny Australia. Yup, he is cute.

Conor was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer back in the latter part of 2021, and he was given eight weeks to live. He is on a mission to help others with cancer get through it. 

We talk about choice, perseverance, responsibility and so much more. For me, it was a wonderfully humbling experience. 

In this episode, Cortney McDermott and I explore the role of detachment in leadership.

We unpick life experiences to discover we all can become more creative and successful. This conversation is essential for anyone in leadership or aspiring to lead, offering insights into achieving success and fulfilment by redefining conventional leadership norms.

In this episode, I chat with Laurence Paquette about the intricacies of identity, self-perception, and their impact on on our lives and leadership. 

We explore the impact of adhering too rigidly to a fixed self-image can limit success in dynamic professional settings.  We laugh and unpack the value of seeing reality as it is, rather than how we wish it to be, and explore practical ways for becoming more adaptable.

The 'disconnection dilemma' examines how we are increasingly lost in a sea of digital distractions, from the mildly irritating to the perilously harmful.

In this episode, Nick Looby and I explore the philosophy of human-centred communication and argue for a more thoughtful, intentional, and personal approach to our lives. We take a critical look at how digital pollution affects our relationships, mental health, and business success.

We're all not only passive recipients of this digital onslaught but often unwitting contributors to it.

Emotional intelligence is defined as our ability to understand and manage our emotions and to recognise and influence the feelings of those around us. In this episode, Marika Messenger and I discuss how this intersects with leadership.

Conscious leadership is more than just self-awareness; it intentionally focuses on the bigger picture, fostering an environment that maximises productivity and a positive organisational atmosphere.

It's about leading with humility and intention, conscious of the self, others, and our broader context. Stay tuned as we explore conscious leadership—understanding one's emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and the deliberate choices that define how we engage, lead, and communicate with others.

Rediscover the magic of the moment and enhance your life.

Exploring why we are constantly chasing more, striving for the next best thing, and how this relentless pursuit can often leave us feeling empty and unsatisfied.

I reflect on the illusion of choice and how true freedom is not found in the abundance of choices but in understanding and embracing the present moment.
