    023. How to set your Boundaries as a Leader

    In today's episode, I am sharing powerful strategies to set boundaries at work, especially as a leader. Why is it important to talk about boundaries as leaders? Setting boundaries is a significant leadership skill. As you move up the leadership ladder, you will have increased demands on your time. You will have to manage your own work, the work of your team members and manage relationships at all levels of the organisation. Setting boundaries means defining what is "ok" and what is not "ok". It means defining where you place your attention, which habits you want to build, and which processes you set with others. Enforcing boundaries can be difficult. It also often comes with consequences and might disappoint people. But by managing your boundaries, you will build trust, manage your emotional energy and lead by example. In today's episode we dive into why boundaries are important and how you can implement them in your leadership. The different types of boundaries I mention: Emotional Material Time Physical Mental These questions are here to help dive deeper into how you can implement these boundaries and discover more about where you stand with them. Try them for yourself: Where do I need to set and define better boundaries for myself? What are the areas that I am finding I have not really defined for myself? But are very important to me? How much do I want to give myself? Which area do I need to define and set better boundaries with others?

    021. How to regulate your emotions in the workplace

    How do you manage emotions in the workplace? We all get emotional. We are human beings. We express emotion daily. There are times in our day to day where we can struggle with emotions. Where they can get the better of us. In these moments we can often say or do things we regret later. So, how can we manage emotions in the workplace to prevent conflict? You might need to learn how to regulate your emotions in the heat of the moment. Whenever you are overwhelmed, angry, frustrated or sad, it is important to recognise but then regulate in the workplace. In todays episode we dive into the things you can keep in mind when you need to manage your emotions at work. Self regulation is a big part of Emotional Intelligence, which starts with self-awareness. Self-awareness means that you are aware of what your emotions are doing with your body. Let’s go through some questions that can help: What is the trigger for your emotional reactions? What are certain situations that always set you off? What are things that are important to you? If you're feeling a certain emotion, how does that impact the thoughts and the things you tell yourself and impact your behaviour? How does it feel when you start to lose control? How does it feel in your body? In todays episode I also share some techniques to calm yourself down. Including: Breathe deeply Take a step back, literally Take a break/ Remove yourself from the situation Go for a walk/ Take a shower Distract yourself/ Shift your focus Write about it If you like this episode, don't forget to share it to your IG stories and tag me @annekoopmann_leadlikeyou Want to keep listening?

    018. 10 things I with I knew before I became a Leader

    In this episode, I’m sharing ten things I wish I had known before becoming a leader. Because I've been there. I've been a leader in the engineering and corporate world for 10 years and in that time, I really quickly moved up the leadership ladder. I started with a small team and then I got to lead bigger teams all the way to senior leadership role, where I actually managed teams in different countries in Australia and Southeast Asia. I've learned many things along the way. There were a lot of challenges that I had to face on this journey in a male dominated environment. I set myself really high targets and was often very self critical.  I was doubting myself and I was really hard on myself as well. There were many moments where I struggled, where I didn't know how to manage difficult employees, where I had to have really difficult and tough conversations. So there's a lot that I learned along the way and some things I wish I had known just a little bit earlier, so that could either release some pressure or use some really beneficial strategies straight away. So today, I share some of those things, including: Invest in your own training and development (especially if you’re employer won’t) Your relationships may change and it can be lonely at times Check your unconscious bias regularly Strong leadership is about influence not authority And of course, lead like you because being authentic & vulnerable builds trust If you like this episode, don't forget to share it to your IG stories and tag me @annekoopmann_leadlikeyou Want to keep learning?
