Iterations Sarah Planckaert

In this episode, the producer interviews the host of the iterations podcast to explore the concepts of bravery, vulnerability, and creative risk at work and in life.

Who do you really want to be? Whose life am I living? What does my soul require of me? These questions and more pop up as we explore ways to live your midlife well. Half your life is behind you and half is in front of you. There is a shift. From shoulds to coulds as you brave towards something new for yourself. Peter Reek, the Second Half Advantage Coach helps us explore concepts and beliefs that support us to find our way through our second half of life and career.

In this episode, Dr Smita Halder shares her journey of growing up (career-wise) in the healthcare system. We explore the dramatic changes in culture and learn about how those shifts impact the way we work together. What happens in organizations is a reflection of what we are asking for as a society. We uncover the desires to be our whole selves, to have multiple interests, and to permit ourselves to explore what brings us energy and joy. It's so important to find something outside of your vocation that brings you energy and joy. As we evolve to be more human at work, more connection and belonging benefit us all.

Sarah sits down with Curtis Norman to learn all about his journey from being laid off to re-employment. The lessons learned along the way are rich with anecdotes about how we think about work and life. Sarah and Curtis explore the mindset, perspectives, and support that helped Curtis along the way. At the end of the episode, Curtis reveals what he learned about our relationship with work and the valuable lesson that work is only a part of who we are; not our whole person.

In this episode, our producer, Sean Rasmussen interviews the host, Sarah Plankaert, who takes us through the reasons Iterations Podcast exists and the viewpoint she holds around leadership today. Discover insights into her world of executive coaching and what she is learning about how leaders are adapting to ever-changing environments and complexities of our world of work. We also explore her experience as a neurodiverse person and how she approaches parenthood and work.

In this episode, we get to hear the story of a time when Sarah West, a corporate heels-clicking-on-the-sidewalk gal had life send her (and her career!) in a new direction. When the way you live your life is not aligned with where you are meant to be, something might just come along that will help to steer you in the right direction. It's easy to ignore, but only for so long. When we tune in and listen, we find the answer. And Sarah's lesson on tuning in and listening doesn't stop with her own lessons. She took those lessons, listened deeply, and formed new ways of working. She now integrates nature-based decision-making methods and approaches in her consultancy Earthen Vision and in her new approach to the 9-5.
