Welcome to Conscious Growth We all have, on some level, a sense of presence - most people assume their work speaks for itself but managing your brand, your presence and how you come across is key in the workplace. How does what you say and how you behave actually land with the people you are interacting with? How intentional are you in your communication? How do you want to be seen? What feedback have you sought? Your presence is both verbal and non-verbal and quite often, ma...

Welcome to Conscious Growth, this is our 13th podcast - no matter where we are on the globe, Covid 19 has impacted us all in one way or another. The whole working landscape changed in March 2019 and we had to spend time adjusting to a virtual workplace, familiarising ourselves with new technology, it was a very different approach to meetings and touch bases; working in a virtual world worked well for some - however, for others, it represented a whole new level of pressure and stress. &nb...

Welcome to Conscious Growth, this is our tenth podcast. Following on from our previous one, Concerning Trends with Remote Working, we were specifically asked to cover how to have a great impact on video calls. Here, we chat through what gets in the way, what are the things we find difficult and how we can represent our best selves in a one-to-one or team capacity. We cover the technology, the camera set-up, your set-up, sound and lighting, we chat through the importance of prep and a few othe...

Welcome to Conscious Growth, this is our ninth podcast. We originally set out to create a library of podcasts that we could refer clients to - or a reference library that would serve as a useful series of stand-alone podcasts for individuals who don't avail of coaching or training. The intention is to provide listeners with tools, techniques and insights that will be useful for them to apply in their own lives. This one is different. We want to speak to business owners, HRBPs and Learning &am...
