    The Most Destructive Career Advice Ever!

    "Follow your passion." Sounds inspiring, right? Wrong. Jac and Ral reckon this might be the worst career advice and they're not sorry about it.   In this episode, they unpack why passion is wildly overrated as a career compass, what mastery has to do with it, and tackle the two big questions: What's the difference between loving your job and being passionate about it? What happens when you turn your passion into your job and then hate it?   Find out why following your talent is smarter, why it makes sense to put the hours in, and like what you do and keep the passion for… other things ----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon. https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreon New Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

    The $1M Leadership Tip

    Find out why cancelling this one thing as a leader loses you the most money…   In this episode Jac & Ral dive deep into a massive blind spot for many leaders: the appreciation gap. While nearly 60% of managers believe they regularly recognise their team, just over a third of employees say they actually receive that recognition.   Ral and Jack unpack why traditional leadership styles have taught people with power to express gratitude less, and why treating great work as "just doing their job" is a fast track to losing your best people.   And since talent is an organisation's ultimate competitive advantage, leading with genuine gratitude isn't a "soft skill" - it’s the way to win!

    Should You Quit Your Job?

    Feeling tension, friction, or total exhaustion at work, but can’t quite put your finger on why? It might not be the workload… it might be a misalignment of values.   In this episode of Keeping it Real, Jac and Ral tackle the real culprit behind career unhappiness, when your personal values clash with your job, your leadership, or even your clients. Sharing raw, firsthand experiences, they break down why staying in a role just for the money isn’t sustainable and how knowing your core values is the ultimate career cheat code.   Ral shares why she walked away from a highly lucrative opportunity with the tobacco industry and Jac breaks down a coaching session with a high-earning executive eyeing a role in the gambling industry, using a simple social scenario to expose severe values misalignment.    Stop grinding in silence and start aligning your work with who you actually are.

    So You Haven't Been Promoted

    Oh, the joy. Your work bestie - the same one you shared eye-rolls with in the Monday morning status update, just got promoted. And yes, they are now your boss. Deep breaths…   Jac and Ral are here to save your career (and your sanity). In this episode, we tackle the awkward, ego-bruising reality of what happens when a peer becomes your manager.   What we unpack: For you: How to congratulate your colleague without visibly choking, setting boundaries so you aren't expecting "inside gossip" at lunch, and avoiding the urge to undermine their new authority.For them: How to step into leadership without turning into an overnight dictator or playing favourites with the old lunchtime crew.  Whether you're the one stepping up or the one stepping back to let them lead, it’s time to put the 'intelligence' back in emotional intelligence. ----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon. https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreon New Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

    Meet the Man Trying to Disrupt the Olympics Forever

    The Enhanced Games begin this week, so to mark the moment we’re revisiting Ral’s fascinating conversation with Aron D'Souza — the man taking on the Olympic establishment. In this bonus rerelease, Aron explains why he believes the current system is broken, why banning performance enhancement is hypocritical, and why the Enhanced Games could completely redefine elite sport, human performance, and even longevity itself. Love it or hate it, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about fairness, sport, and the future of the human body. Is this the future… or pure madness? ----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon. https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreon New Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown

    Why Calm is the Future of Leadership

    Running around like a headless chicken doesn’t make you a better leader, it just makes everyone else dizzy. In this episode, Jac and Ral get brutally honest about the ultimate leadership superpower: absolute calm in the absolute chaos.   They dive deep into why your team doesn’t need a stressed-out "saviour"- they need a steady anchor. We’re breaking down how to stop absorbing everyone else's panic, how to reframe your boundaries so you actually have a life and why letting go of the 16-hour grind is the best commercial decision you'll ever make.   We also introduce the magic of the three-second pause (the ultimate tool for looking like the smartest person in the room) and map out how to shift from a "doer" who executes to a "visionary" who strategises.   If you're ready to stop trading your sanity for success and start measuring your worth by your impact, not your exhaustion, this one is for you. ----Your support helps keep this show going — join us on Patreon. https://tinyurl.com/jacandralpatreon New Episode Every Monday Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown
