Genius Leadership: Overcoming Everything Podcast Anna Liebel

For years, we have been discussing that mysterious work-life balance. Some manage to find it, often through a major crisis or burnout. Others don't resonate with the term and think it is counterintuitive. Yet if this term is so unhelpful, why is it so sticky?
I am a nerd for definitions. And not the dictionary ones, but the ones each of us carry in our subconsciousness, defining the ways we think, act, react, dream, plan... well, do anything. So in this episode, we dive into exploration of the definition of "balance". I offer you a new perspective for this concept, to make it more flexible, playful, realistic, and useful in our everyday realities.

How do we get more women into leadership positions? How can we improve capital distribution in the startup space? We have been asking ourselves these questions for a while now, and many initiatives have been undertaken globally. Yet, since the global pandemic, the gender equality gap has increased again. What are we missing? Where has it gone wrong?
My today's guest, Viroslava Novosylna, has many diverse roles. CEO & Founder of PR agency SLOVA Tech PR, co-founder of the international non-profit community of women in tech Wtech, board member at PRCA, VC/PR Partner at TA Ventures and Ukrainian PR Army co-founder, TechStars Sustainability Paris mentor, and Golden Winner in the category "Best Leader in PR" of Davos Communication Awards 2023. Viroslava has been supporting women in their careers for 6 years now and has valuable insights to share from her experience.
In this episode, you will learn about:
an unexpected outcome with role models within Wtech
three 2-year phases of Wtech's life so far - in "normal" life, during the pandemic, and during the Russian war against Ukraine
how we can make conversations about gender equality more inclusive for men, and why that is crucial for the success
how you can support Ukraine in our battle for a peaceful, independent life

You've heard this phrase, "Fill your cup first, before you pour into others." While it points out an essential aspect of well-being, it also does us a disservice. In this episode, I am suggesting an alternative visual to make your self-care practice more sustainable and impactful.

Imagine eating only burgers for the rest of your life. And not only when you are hungry but also when you are thirsty, tired, excited, sleepy, sad, angry, etc. Just. Burgers. 
No matter how much you love this dish, you will eventually get fed up with it. Even the juiciest patties and the freshest buns will not bring you joy or satisfaction anymore.
This is what many of us do with our self-care. What is your "self-care burger," aka a "one-thing-fits-all-purposes[-or-not]" crutch? 
This episode suggests an easy and fun exercise to add variety to your self-care and make it more easily available even on your busiest days. I use it, my clients love it, even my husband did this exercise! So try it and see some magic unfold.

Ever feel like a fraud? Or like being in a place/position you don't deserve? Imposter thoughts visit most of us. Some people live with them regularly, others might get them occasionally. Often, these thoughts limit us and force us to decline fantastic opportunities that might be life-changing. So I am sharing a simple hack you can use whenever imposter thoughts occur so that you can say "yes" to the opportunities despite those nasty bastards.
