    EP6: Why You Need To Self-Promote And How To Do It With Stefanie Sword-Williams

    This week I’m joined by absolute powerhouse and self-promotion extraordinaire (no joke), Stefanie Sword-Williams. I was first introduced to Stef back when I worked as a Buyer at ASOS and as her talk finished, I remember being blown away by not only her knowledge and confidence, but also in her ability to instil that confidence in every single person in the room. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Stef on a more personal level and after leading a workshop together last year, I can confirm she is in fact one of the smartest people I know. No matter where you’re at right now, this episode will leave you feeling ready to shout about what you’ve got to offer from the rooftops. In this episode we cover: How to take action on your goals and ideas How to ask for a pay rise and promotion The importance of networking When and how to pitch yourself Where to get the support to help your loved ones who might be struggling with their mental health About Stef Stefanie Sword Williams is the founder and author of F*ck Being Humble. She created the business to encourage individuals to be unapologetically proud of their achievements and overcome the fear of self-promotion. Named as Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe, Stef talks have reached people in over 50 countries and she’s delivered workshops for global brands including Unilever, Google, Adidas, Unilever, Microsoft, Innocent, Vodafone, The Guardian, The BBC as well as spoken at conferences such as Cannes Lions Festival and D&AD New Blood. In 2020 Stef released her first book ‘F*ck Being Humble: Why self-promotion isn't a dirty word’ and also delivered a TEDx Talk on why the world needs to be a little less humble. Most recently she became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts following the significant contribution to social impact she has made since building F*ck Being Humble. In 2022 Stef launched a community platform ‘This Might Help’ offering guidance, reassurance and peer-to-peer support to people who are helping others through mental health issues and trauma. Stef hopes to provide close the ‘support gap’ in the mental health industry by sharing resources that can support carers. Self Centred School Are you loving this podcast?

    EP5: Why Melt Downs Are Necessary And What To Do When You Have One

    “I feel like I’m having a bit of a melt down” is one of the most common phrases I hear on a discovery call. And boy do I know what they mean when they say it. You know that feeling when you have all your sh*t together? Yeah, it’s the opposite of that. Whether it be confusion about your relationship, overwhelm about what you should be doing next in your career or just cold, hard burnout- “melt downs” have a pretty negative connotation. But what if I told you that they were actually completely necessary? Scrap that- powerful, life altering opportunities. Whether you’re feeling a bit melty-downy at this very moment, or you just want to be better prepared next time you’re having a wobble, in this episode I share why I think we need to reframe our perspective on those moments and I also share my top tips on how you can use them to your advantage.
