    Part 2: Unseen Impact of Human Behaviour

    Being a Change Catalyst isn't about having a life of privilege or a path without obstacles. It turns out that hope isn't just a nice-to-have sentiment, it is a critical, measurable driver of human success. In Part 2 of the season finale, we wrap up season 1 with Dr. Redzo Mujcic with topics such as: Hope vs. Optimism: Why agency is the missing ingredient in most impact plans. Locus of Control: How change catalysts train themselves to stay in the driver's seat. The Grit Equation: Why combining resilience with long-term passion is the recipe for impact.  AI & Critical Thinking: Why our most valuable human skill is the one we should never delegate. A Personal Thank You: This season has been fueled by you, my listener. Your feedback and suggestions have kept me inspired from Episode 1 through today.

    Part 1: Unseen Impact of Human Behaviour

    In Part 1 of the two-part season finale of The Invisibles Project podcast, my guest Dr. Redzo Mujcic tackles the myth of "perfect logic” with behavioural science. We delve into human decision making, exploring everything from the experience-based "gut feelings" to the powerful cognitive biases that silently steer our most significant decisions in life. Dr. Mujcic and I will be exploring the following from the lens of behavioural science: Decision Making: Understanding the brain's preference for shortcuts and the risks associated with them. Change Catalysts: How the most impactful individuals master biases to drive meaningful change. The Long View: Why effective leaders prioritize long term impact over chasing immediate, short-term gains.  The Grit Blueprint: How early life experiences build the resilience needed to navigate high-stakes choices. Remember, to become a "Choice Architect", don't simply trust your instincts, actively train them.

    Stop Waiting for Permission to Make an Impact

    The biggest barrier to driving change isn't your job description; it's your mindset. Your impact journey starts when you stop focusing on the job description and start solving the barriers to doing your job well. In this new episode my guest Dr. Rosa Giuliani will discuss how we can accelerate our impact by going beyond our job descriptions. The three key points she summarizes in her interview are: Reframe 'Difficult' as 'Different': It immediately shifts the conversation from a conflict to a curiosity challenge. Get Knocking: If you're not invited to the table, don't wait. Approach with genuine interest in bringing a new perspective. Seek to Understand: Get curious! Use the 'picks and mix' approach to learn different stakeholders' jargon and views. Alignment only happens when you understand why they see the problem differently. Start shifting your own mindset today, and watch the mindsets around you follow.

    Transforming Personal Grief into Hope and Impact

    How does real, lasting change begin? Often, it starts with a grassroots movement, a gathering of people on a similar path, all strongly connected to a purpose they want to show up for. In this episode, my guest Stacie Lindsay, CEO of Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation talks about how: Our impact is built organically: Once we align on a shared purpose and objectives, impact builds over time.  Knowing our assets builds on our impact: Understanding our skills and how they can serve our impact journey is crucial.  Power of collaboration over competition: Our biggest barrier is often the assumptions we make about others. Break those barriers down through meaningful dialogue about shared goals. Meaningful impact is intentional: Every small decision matters. Changing one decision can strategically shift direction and speed up our impact, as long as it aligns with your purpose and long-term vision. Let's reframe the work we do as a space to learn and grow, focusing on building meaningful relationships and being open to perspectives that humble us and provide a reality check.

    Finding Your Ikigai And Living Your Impact

    We are often drawn to the rewards of visible work: the accolades, the promotions, the social status. But this path rarely leads to lasting fulfilment. The real key to influence and impact is found in Ikigai, the sweet spot where your passion and skills meet an unmet need in the world. In this episode with my guest Malvika Vyas, we will be discussing the recognition trap that keeps us from our real impact. We’ll break down why chasing visible accolades is a distraction, and how to build authentic, undeniable influence or status by focusing solely on the quality and value of your contribution. If you’re ready to trade the anxiety of self-promotion for the fulfillment of deep, meaningful work, stay tuned. Let's start the conversation about making your work speak for itself.

    Transforming Dreams into Tangible Impact

    What is the anchor that sustains one's long-term impact? In this episode I will be speaking with Jenny Herbach about how our impact is sustained by relentlessly working towards making your dreams come true. As female leaders, we can achieve everything we aspire, with the right support structures, shifting our focus to prioritise what matters most to us and learning to let go at times. Achieving impact is not a linear journey; it requires pivoting, courage, resilience, risk-taking, and comfort with ambiguity. Even steps that seem like a temporary step back, or shifting focus, can ultimately lead to greater long-term impact. Jenny will highlight that for female leaders, in particular, true work-life balance is possible when the right support structures enable you to prioritize both personal and professional needs.
