Lead To Excel Podcast Maureen Chiana

In this episode, I go very personal as I share my experience of starting menopause very early and the challenges I have faced along the way.
Understanding menopause is very important for organizations to retain their best staff and to ensure that these women come into work and still be able to be high performers.

Making menopause an inclusive subject at work will make it much easier for people to talk about without feeling embarrassed and enable women confidently ask for help and support when needed. It will also make more women prepared to some extent and not be taken by surprise like so many of us have.

Maybe you have experienced not being able to speak or think straight when being criticised by your manager or when under some form of pressure at work.

In this weeks Podcast, I discuss the reasons why you  freeze when under pressure and what you can do to remain calm, effective and still motivate your people.
Our brains threat response is activated by our external environment causing our body to respond in the flight, fright or freeze response, which cause many leaders performance to decline and can trigger a vicious cycle of self-doubt, self-blame, shame, guilt, even fear, making it all the more likely that you’ll freeze again when you encounter a similar situation.

But, there is hope! There are things you can do to stay alert and effective under pressure and this is a skill every leader needs.
