At the time of speaking to you, here in the UK we’ve just had Storm Isha and are about to have Storm Jocelyn.


Many people around the country with trees blown over, roof tiles flying off and disruption to travel caused by the windy, rainy weather.

Frankly, the stormy weather is a great metaphor for life in the 2020s! We are living in turbulent times, often feeling buffeted and blown by one thing happening after the other.



Thoughts are whirling about the present, anxiety about what’s to come, and difficulty seeing a clear path forward with any certainty.

​
More than ever, I think, it’s important to stay grounded, tethered to the ground, so to speak - mentally, physically and spiritually.



Listen to the episode to find out some useful practices to become grounded.

How much does empathy play a role in your leadership style? Are you ‘old school’ and think anything like that is a bit too soft to merit serious consideration? Were you brought up with leaders who were definitely more ‘tell don’t ask’ rather than ‘ask don’t tell? For you, is any discussion of feelings awkward?

Well, you might be interested in the business book of the year is called ‘Leader as Healer’ and I’ve been lucky
enough to study with the author Nicholas Janni via Coaches Rising.



If you are going to develop one leadership skill, I wholeheartedly recommend empathy.



Listen to the episode to find some useful tips on how to put empathy into practice.

It might be useful to know that there’s a new acronym for the state of the world and its BANI.

When my husband and I went to pick up our daughter from university, the weather was awful, and the motorway was busy. My husband is a confident driver, but I am not a good passenger. 

If I’m not driving, I often feel car sick for starters. I don’t like going too fast or too near. Plus I’m hyper-alert for any dangers. Which means I’m very vocal with the shrieks and the imaginary slamming of the brakes.

When we got back from the round trip, I was feeling a bit sick and frazzled, and my husband said sympathetically, ‘You’re not a good passenger’. And I agreed.



And then - boom!



It suddenly became a metaphor that translated to other aspects of my life. Am I a good passenger elsewhere or am I happier being in the driving seat? What about being a backseat driver always telling others what to do? Am I ever like that?

 

So, what does this have to do with you?

Well, I think it’s an interesting thing for you to ponder.  Have a listen and find out the questions you
should be asking yourself.
