We all experience it. Why? What's happening? What's it's impact on us? And most importantly - how can we deal with the little b#*ger?! 

Let us know where it pops up for you, and how you deal with it.

We are joined by Claire Sarafilovic, Regional Director at Faithful & Gould. She is also a crucial member of their ED&I (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) team.

We talk about the societal pivot we are in and the work still to be done to create diverse workforces.

Claire is a pragmatic soul, and talks about measures within F&G which we hope will inspire more organisations to integrate ED&I fully into their cultures, hiring policies and objectives.

We learn:


Honouring ED&I ways of working is integral to a humans sense of belonging to a culture. 
The key to unlocking ED&I is facing the challenging conversations

Claire's 'how to' guide to doing ED&I well! Ideas of what to introduce:


ED&I Objectives in PDP’s
Reverse Mentoring
Staff Networks – collaborate, find their voice through access to leadership
EDI&I Moments Pack - https://indd.adobe.com/view/447cf575-82d3-4b39-a306-562138c95500 - educate and give a platform for difficult convo’s

Very insightful visual:

Sara Smeaton returns to the Coach Approach, to talk 'The Great Resignation' - no, not the one you're thinking of - the one we've seen for years in our clients:

What are we resigned to in our lives? What are we tolerating? How can we resign from our 'should's'? What boundaries need to be drawn and defended? 

She also has the secret weapon questions to ask yourself to unearth what you really want in life - but you'll have to listen to discover what they are!

We discuss how do we hold on to the things we want to change and Sara tells us that you can’t cut and run without a direction.

We kick Season 5 off with a celebration of ADHD. We wanted to understand more about this neurodiversity; with so many of our friends being diagnosed in their 30's and 40's, we were aware of what a life changing pivot this news can be. 

We speak to Jesse J Anderson, an ADHD'er with a generous and informative story to tell about his experience of this pivot in his life. Diagnosed at the age of 36, he now shares his findings of the way his brain works with the world with his ever increasing TikTok, Insta and Twitter audiences. He is also writing a book with the ADHD community called 'Refocus'. 

We learned:

1. 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder' is a highly paradoxical name: 


your attention is actually on overload - you see and hear everything intensely. You are not decificent in attention! 
hyperactivity is the myth of the naughty boy throwing chairs in the primary school. Actually ADHD'ers are prone to hyperFOCUS when they are interested in something. 

2. Because of missed diagnosis ADHD'ers are prone to 


addiction, due to a misfiring of their dopamine levels. 
unemployment, because their interest levels are not sustain sufficiently. 

3. Given the right tasks and opportunity ADHD'ers can be the most productive people on the planet. 

We've never asked this so deliberately before but - PLEASE listen to this episode - you are VERY likely have close colleagues and friends who have ADHD, and it can be the super power they never knew they had. Spread the word. Celebrate neurodiversity. And marvel at Jesse's wonderful demeanour.
