    Business mindset, presence and reaching our full potential: Meeting Gaj Ravichandra

    How do we bring back focus to what we CAN control? How do we find more presence and ultimately reduce the anxiety of the unknown in order to perform better in the corporate world? As 2020 continues to spin in circles of stress, Gaj Ravichandra and I talk about this and much more as we discuss optimal performance, team work and recovery in 2021, as well as how we reach our own definition of ‘peak’ in our careers. A fountain of wisdom and calm in the business world I loved hearing Gaj’s view and found the whole thing deeply refreshing.  "Leaders are not born. They are made and then reborn with every experience they encounter!” – Gaj Ravichandra Leaning on 20 years of experiences and a background in Organizational Psychology, Gaj focuses his work on developing mental toughness, resilience, achieving peak performance.

    Do we have enough empathy for women in advertising? Meeting Nicky Kemp.

    Nicola Kemp says it as it is. Having recently written a piece for Campaign UK titled “Mummy, what did you do in the great COVID crisis,” which sparked much discussion, Nicky and I talk about leadership and what she really thinks about empathy for women in the advertising industry. We discuss whether agencies have any idea what change and equity really means, how far we have come and how far we have to go.  Season 2 begins with a whole lot of honesty, a bag load of braveness and a true frankness that looks at things as they really are. “For the creative and media industries, this headline and its implicit everyday sexism also serve as an urgent reminder of just how important inclusion is for organizations and brands that have such a pivotal role in setting the tone for the broader cultural debate.” Nicola Kemp, Campaign, August 2020.

    Dear Beirut: Special Edition

    This is a special edition podcast with a live reading fusing much of what I do on my breakfast show, Empathy for Breakfast (reading live) with my podcast.  Today I am sharing some words dedicated to Lebanon, to Beirut, and to all of those people part of the recovery since the explosion that quite literally blew our minds as well as their city. So often the spoken word can be more powerful than the written one so whilst this piece will appear in the media here I wanted to share a reading of it, from the heart, from me to you.  In times of recovery we are stronger together and this very short recording talks about the role of empathy in these times, about the powerful link between empathy and recovery and about our ability to rebuild our community together.  Dear Beirut. May construction begin, may your city rise again and may empathy be the glue that pulls it back together.

    Self empathy, surviving cancer & the practice of looking after our health: meeting Alumdena Gil, Part 2

    All human beings deserve understanding and compassion and this starts with ourselves. It can sometimes though be easier to show empathy for others than it is for ourselves, so how do we create a balance that allows us to be our healthiest and happiest selves? Science and medical research has proven that there is a deep link between the mind and body and our ability to perform and thrive. Should it take falling ill with a disease like cancer to make us stop and take note? Almudena talks about personal transformation, daily routine and feeling well again, and the neuro-science behind connecting with ourselves and our minds. She also shares the tools she has mastered which we can all use on our road to health and wellness - and in Almu's case, recovery from cancer for the third time. This is an honest, raw and incredibly powerful conversation and one I am very grateful for having had. Thank you Almu!

Cal and I discuss how empathy allows us to understand human beings and the communities we share.  We discuss curiosity and objectivity in deep and authentic listening, and how we might avoid judging people in the best of conversations. We also look at how we can create deeper insight and more impactful creativity and how the South African approach to 'ubuntu' is changing the way the local government needs to communicate with their population in Covid19 times. "Its only through empathy that we can find new solutions and encourage people to stay safe without violating who they are as an African community"  You can connect with Cal via https://www.matchboxology.com/ on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchboxology_/ Cal's LinkedIn profile is: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cal-bruns-b071909/
