#58 Executive Loneliness with Nick Jonsson

There’s an epidemic of executive loneliness is the corporate world today. On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nick Jonsson, author of Executive Loneliness, where he shares his personal experiences of striving for success whilst struggling with the negative consequences of a winning mindset. He shares how self-doubt, anxiety and a colluding organisational culture that simply wanted to him to smile and be successful led him to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, including addiction, and eventually to him leaving the corporate world in a personal crisis. Whilst at his own rock bottom, a friend of Nick’s took his own life. It was then that he realised how important it is that we support leaders who may be experiencing loneliness and depression in the workplace. This provided a catalyst for a new life purpose and the drive to turn his life around and help others. You can find out more about Nick at his website: https://www.nickjonsson.com/

#56 In Praise of Slow with Carl Honoré

Is your life an endless rush from one thing to the next? That was certainly the case for Carl Honoré, my guest on today’s podcast. He is the author of the phenomenally successful book In Praise of Slow. Carl explains his journey to the slow movement, triggered by an epiphany of recognising the need to slow down and reconnect with the art of living in the moment when he found himself trying to rush the bedtime stories to his son. He discusses how our fast-paced culture permeates all aspects of life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. And he shares examples of absurd manifestations of the go-faster culture, such as speed yoga and drive-through funerals! The executives I work with are incredibly busy and have large and important portfolios of work that they’re managing. They're also experiencing an epidemic of burnout. The idea of slowing down is anathema to many executives. But as Carl explains, slowing down is not just about reducing speed but about being present and doing things well. It’s also about knowing when speed is important, and when giving yourself a bit more space around your work would enhance it immeasurably. __ Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. The Wall Street Journal hailed him as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness.” CBC Sunday Edition called him “the world’s leading evangelist for the Slow Movement.” His bestselling books have been published in 36 languages. While researching his first book, In Praise of Slow, Carl got slapped with a speeding ticket. This link has all of his books, courses, etc in one place: https://linktr.ee/carlhonore In case you missed it, he made a thing recently for BBC Radio 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021hc4
