It's time to share some real, raw and candid things I wish I knew, I know now, and I want you to know if you're going through redundancy, restructure or layoff right now.

    #62 Learning to relax with Sheila Murray

    #62 Learning to relax with Sheila Murray

    If you're listening to this podcast, it's likely that you are an individual full of ambition, especially in your career. Almost by definition, that means we both fall into a group of people that find it difficult to relax and often fall into assigning our self-worth to our productivity. In this conversation with Sheila Murray, we unpack the stereotypes of success as high achieving, ambitious women, and how she has dedicated her working life to helping others find the feeling of success whilst thriving.
    As we discuss in this episode, it's the small things like stopping everything you are doing just to take a breath that can make the biggest difference. Book a call with me to discover how 1-1 coaching can help you explore where you're boundaries should be, how to enforce them and how it can change the way you move through your world of work.
     
    My Guest
    Sheila works with high-achieving women that want to step into their next-level selves and thrive in their body, mind, and soul. She supports clients and groups in making this whole-person change by holding space for their unique experiences, offering new perspectives, and intuitively integrating healing modalities. Through working with Sheila, clients find they can breathe deeper, trust themselves to take aligned action and have a more confident glow that the world can feel. She is a Trauma-Informed Certified Coach, Whole Person Certified Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach, and Yoga Instructor.

    #61 When culture goes wrong with Happy HQ

    #61 When culture goes wrong with Happy HQ

    When even Beyonce starts telling us to quit our 9-5, you know something is not quite right in the current working ecosystem. Today I am sitting down with the powerhouse duo, Happy HQ, to talk to us about how having an employee-first culture can have a huge impact on every aspect of the business and staff wellbeing. I am sitting down with this powerhouse duo with a mission to help workplaces on their journey to create a positive culture. We explore how what employers are asking for has evolved over time, the knock-on effects of accurately communicating your company culture, and choosing to hire based on culture add vs a culture fit.
    If you're not feeling connected with your workplace culture, you are not alone. Book a call with me to discover how 1-1 coaching can work through your worries and fall in love with your work again!
     
    My Guests
    Inspired by the vision of a world without ‘work’ (as we know it), Janine and Louisa founded HappyHQ based on the belief that everyone deserves to work for a company that has a people-first culture, including the founders.
    Positive cultures are now essential for company survival. More than ever, the future of work depends on companies listening to what their employees have to say, and staying curious about what motivates them. With their combined expertise in Positive Psychology, HR, and Communications, they've created an approach that helps companies easily measure, plan, and celebrate great company cultures.
