    Feedback, Neurodiversity and Belonging at Work

    Your monthly All Personal Leadership Newsletter - audio brief. This month, Roxana Radulescu takes you backstage to explore the theme of 'Belonging'. Specifically, the widespread struggle with giving feedback, why sugarcoating or staying silent to "protect feelings" backfires, and how authentic, clear communication is essential to building psychological safety and genuine connection that lead to 'belonging'. Plus: the Coaching Forest Awards are back with Episode #76 of the Friday Raffle! Congratulations to this month's winners, Luminita Potop (for continuously leading coaching conversations) and Sam Laazouzi (for planting the first trees in his coaching forest). Because when you engage in coaching conversations with Roxana, you also receive a Tree Planting Certificate and support worldwide reforestation through Evertreen. 🌳 And in this month's Learning Bite: Roxana highlights The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity and Intersectional Belonging at Work by Dr. Ludmila N. Praslova. We look at how embracing neurodivergent talent stops people from feeling like "the odd one out" and fosters true intersectional belonging at work. 🎯 Game On question to sit with: Are you holding back feedback out of fear of hurting feelings, or are you using communication to create the safety and trust required for genuine belonging?

    Different Brains, Different Ways

And in this month's Learning Bite: Roxana's guest appearance on Jayson Krause's The Executive Commute podcast.

    'I Think I'm Toxic', And Other Things We Never Say Out Loud

    Your monthly All Personal Leadership Newsletter — audio brief. "I think I'm toxic" — said no one about themselves, ever. And yet… toxic dynamics happen. In teams. In cultures. Sometimes even in our own heads. In this episode, Roxana Radulescu and Felicia Stepan go backstage into real workplace scenarios submitted by real people in the frozen middle — the managers and leaders navigating gossip and favouritism, passive-aggressive feedback, cultures of polite silence, and managers who just... go quiet. No theory. No headlines. Just boots-on-the-ground conversations from people living it. Plus: Imposter Syndrome gets its close-up in this month's Learning Bite — why even Maya Angelou and Albert Einstein felt it, what the Dunning-Kruger effect has to do with your self-doubt, and a TED-Ed video worth your 10 minutes. 🎯 Game On question to sit with:Sometimes the detox starts with your own thoughts — what would that look like for you?

    'I just Want to Be Me!' and Why Other People's Opinion Is Their Business'

    The All Personal Podcast is back — after 5 years! 🎙️ And it's changed to super short form: your monthly All Personal Leadership News, now in audio form. In this episode: After 10+ years of coaching conversations across industries, titles, and seniority levels, one theme keeps showing up, almost without exception: Am I enough? What will they think of me? What if I fail them? In this episode, Roxana takes you backstage into real coaching conversations to unpack the one common denominator behind all of it: The Voice. The one that second-guesses before you've even started. The one that replays the meeting after it's over. The one that keeps you small, quiet, and safe. She calls it Buzzkill. You might have a different name for it. But here's what's also true: the Buzzbuild Voice is always there too. It just needs permission to speak. Plus, a book recommendation that will quietly shift how you think about other people's opinions: 'The Courage to be Disliked ', by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitaro Koga. Because "things of lightness" might be the leadership concept you didn't know you needed. 🎯 Coaching question to sit with:What permission would you effortlessly give yourself, if the critical voice got quieter and the cheerleader got louder today? 🔗 Links mentioned in this episode: 🌐 The All Personal Monthly News: https://personalskillscoach.com/news/ 🌐 Free leadership resources: ⁠https://personalskillscoach.com/media-resources/⁠ 📺 The All Personal Coaching Questions Friday Raffle playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvLKiUK0FiqXMv8py2678RZTt83A6ogY2 📖 'The Courage to be Disliked': https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1501197274 📅 Book a complimentary 30-min call with Roxana: https://bookings.cloud.microsoft/book/TalktotheFaceOneOffCoachingSession@personalskillscoach.com/s/gZBHDjaEf0GUkZBimEyVIQ2?ismsaljsauthenabled=true Game On: Lead Different!

    The power of 'different' in challenging the status quo - All Personal with Alex Leon Flores

    In this episode, I talk to Alex Leon Flores. And I am going to tell you what he says about himself, so that you get an idea of just how fascinating this episode is going to be: ‘I am an ordinary human being, who considers himself perfectly imperfect. I want what any other individual wishes to have: I would like to fulfill the highest truest, expression of myself as a human being. I’m a deeply curious person who likes to understand more about our own existence. I’d like to lead a compassionate and kind life. My life mission is: “To live the best life I can. In Kindness & Acceptance. With Deep Understanding & Infinite Compassion”. My title -and purpose- in my career involves looking for potential in other human beings, while doing my best to provide them a place - a platform if you will - where they could develop. As a Professional Recruitment Specialist, I have always remained focused on the importance of building strong relationships with all stakeholders, clients and coworkers. Social Scientists have proven the correlation between relationships, success and our quality of life. As a Professional Administrator my goal is excellence. Attention to detail and perseverance are vastly needed to achieve excellence, if we're to meet any goals successfully, all while being compassionate to myself and those around me.’ Alex currently does his best work from within an incredible Marketing and Experience Design Agency. If you are looking for your next career move, please reach out to him! He will love to have a chat with you. I will also say that we connected on LinkedIn due to one of Esther Perel’s posts. We cover so much in this conversation, and still we could have kept going. Some snippets of our conversation:  Growing up in conformity countries and cultures and moving to freedom of choice Alex’s journey of coming out as ‘different from everybody else’ in his home country, Mexico, and how psychology helped him find answers to his relentless questions Why asking questions is such a crucial skill to have, especially as a leader, and how he applied his ‘investigative reporter’ skills in his marketing & advertising and talent acquisition roles How language matters and how it changes the way we relate to each other How employers need to realize that when you care for your people, people care about your business – and some horror boss stories and what not to do as a leader How soft skills are not soft at all, they’re essential and they’re human – and they do affect how we ‘do’ business OK, ready to take this a game-changing ride with us, from wherever you are? Buckle up, here we go.

    A Rebel with a Big Cause - All Personal with Rachel Despres

    In this episode, I talk to Rachel Despres, a Career Coach for Rebels who, after successfully escaping her own cubicle, began helping others break free of their desk jobs and build unconventional careers that truly fit with who they are—from creative work, to side hustles, to starting a business. That word, rebel, is one that I found to be the magic key in your conversation. Which you will love, as she takes us through her journey of becoming a coach for rebels and a rebel herself, from ‘rule follower extraordinare’ as she calls herself at some point.  Sharing some nuggets of our conversation here: How she realized that she followed all the rules, did everything according to the rules, and she was so unhappy How asking the question ‘what else could be possible?’ can be a pivotal moment for many of us What were some of the strong skills muscles that helped her make the shift from corporate to business, and the skills muscles she had to work on growing How some corporations lose so much talent because they’re not flexible to make room for the various talents that people bring, and allow them to move where they fit best How we all want to contribute, make a difference and work with purpose, and realize there’s much more we can do Why passion, values and skills is the place where we can find the real magic – and how to do that So, get ready to make room for some ‘big magic’ in your life as you join Rachel and I in this episode!  Book recommended by Rachel: 'Big Magic', by Elizabeth Gilbert Where you can find Rachel: Website: http://racheldespres.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/racheldespres/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/racheldespres/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-despres-22201249/ To chat with me about emerging leaders, leading different and skills muscles, book a call here.
