Episode #51 with Dr Aarti Anhal

"What organisations sometimes fail to get right is recognising that they are responsible for creating the conditions in which those people (employees) stay well and resilient. And so, if you are asking people to do more, with less resources, or achieve more with less budget...then you are not creating the conditions for people to remain well and stay resilient because they are under excessive stress."

On today's episode, Dr Aarti Anhal brings my attention to the world of organisational resilience. We talk about how she began her career including a stint within Risk management and Security, and her journey thus far. We discuss world issues including the question of whether the world will ever have peace. Aarti shares on the podcast her deep interest in Tibetan issues, including when she got to meet and spend time with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Rinpoche.

Aarti also explains what a resilience coach is, the difference between fixed and growth mindset and why wellbeing is essential. We also talk languages, gin, marmite and dishwashing! And of course, we examine the quote that continually inspires her.

Dr Aarti Anhal is founder of before nine, a consultancy that integrates positive psychology and behavioural techniques with organisational resilience and transformation strategies to bring out the best in people, optimise their ways of working and enable organisations to sustain success, whatever the world throws at them.

When Being 'In Control' Actually Isn't

Do you have a hard time delegating? Do you live by a “failure is not an option” ethic? Are you constantly trying to convince people to do things another way? Are you angry a lot? It’s possible that you’re struggling with the illusion of control. In short: you’re a “control freak”. You’re frustrated and irritable because you’re trying to control things you can’t! In addition to wreaking havoc on your mental health, being a control freak also wastes time and energy, both of which are finite resources. Join Sandra and Melissa as they talk about how to tell if you’re investing too much time, mental energy, and physical effort into things you have no control over. And, if you are, what you can do about it.

When Resentment Becomes an Unwanted Guest

Resentment is a powerful force! Like its close cousin, bitterness, it usually comes into our lives in response to a legitimate injustice or hurt that has been done to us… so it’s hard to let it go. The problem is that resentment seldom contributes to serenity and fulfillment. It’s a bit like a cancer that eats away at time—time which could have been filled with love and joy. Join us as Sandra and Melissa get real about the damage resentment can cause while giving us hope for healing those wounds, forgiving the wrong done, and moving on in freedom!

Conflict: Enemy or Ally?

Conflict. What kinds of emotion surface when you think of it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It’s not necessarily a bad thing – it’s just the result of two people with different goals coming together. It becomes a damaging force if it’s handled poorly. Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feelings, disappointment, and discomfort. When handled in an unhealthy manner, it can cause irreparable rifts, resentments, and break-ups. Join us for this episode where Sandra and Georgia discuss how to resolve conflict in a healthy way so that it increases your understanding of the other person, builds trust, and actually strengthens your relationships!

The Games We Play... and the Damage They Cause

A healthy relationship should not depend on games. Most of us know this. And yet, whether at home, at work, among strangers, or among friends, we have all engaged in relationship mind games to get what we want from the people around us. The trouble is that these games are usually detrimental to our health and the well-being of others, creating exhausting and messy dynamics in every kind of relationships. Sometimes our games are unconscious and are so deeply ingrained, that we aren’t even aware of what is happening. Join us as Sandra and Georgia discuss important questions like: Why do people play games in relationships? Do you know the games you tend to play? How can you identify whether you are instigating the games, or serving as the prey of them? Once you become aware of the patterns that constitute these games you will be able to heal and create relationships that are stable and fulfilling.
