Playing Full Out™ with Rita Hyland Rita Hyland

Imagine you're working on a crucial project, and suddenly, your computer crashes, wiping out hours of work, or your best worker quits. Panic sets in, right? But what if you could remain calm, view the situation objectively, and even turn it to your advantage?
When faced with obstacles, many of us crumble under pressure, consumed by stress and anxiety. Yet, our ability to navigate through life's hurdles can be significantly enhanced by adopting a shift in perspective. 
In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful formula for overcoming any obstacle in your life. I was inspired by my recent trip to Italy and the timeless wisdom of Marcus Aurelius. These principles, practiced by great leaders and innovators, can help you not only face the hurdles that come your way but also empower you to find calm and clarity amidst chaos.

Have you ever felt paralyzed by the fear of rejection or failure? These setbacks are universal experiences that often stall us from pursuing our dreams. But what if I told you that rejection could be your greatest ally in achieving your future success? 
Imagine turning every "no" into a powerful stepping stone that propels you forward. By accurately assessing what is holding you back and redefining rejection as redirection, you can unlock new paths to success and embrace every setback as a setup for something greater. 
In this episode, I'm sharing a few ways to reframe rejection and failure, featuring personalities like NFL player Robert Spillane, Jamie Lee McKern, and Taylor Swift to embrace rejections in your favor and empower you to chase your dreams with renewed confidence and resilience.

​​How do you engage in pressured situations while maintaining your best self? What do you do to manage and prevent stressful situations from negatively impacting your behavior?
In an ideal world, we don't feel pressure at all—we hold boundaries, disarm conflict, and let things roll off our back. But we know that's not reality all the time, right? We are complex creatures with emotions and past experiences that can trigger us. Whether it’s deadlines, difficult conversations with colleagues, or even complicated family matters — pressure is an unavoidable part of life. 
Of course, being self-aware is the first and foremost way to decrease our reactivity. By examining what triggers us, shining a flashlight on our blindspots and peeling back the layers, we can unlock our best selves and our best levels of leadership. 
BUT what do you do when the pressureful situation still strikes and you are knee-deep in it? 
In this episode, I'll dive into how we can handle these moments in real-time without losing control and instead become models of the behavior we most want to see in our board rooms, classrooms, and family rooms. 

Our mission is to help you become the best version of you so you can do the best work of your career while you enjoy more inner peace and freedom.

We’re back with Part 2 of the incredibly insightful conversation with Leslie Neugent about The Enneagram! The Enneagram can greatly improve your leadership abilities and your relationships. I always say self-awareness is our greatest advantage and that is on full display in this conversation. As you realize more about yourself and those around you, you are able to easily approach all relationships with a new level of compassion.
I know first-hand—my family and I have been able to leverage this unique personal development tool, which I share more about in this episode. But what makes the Enneagram different, how does it work, and how does it improve our relationships? We’re covering all of that in this episode with Leslie. As we did last episode, we take a look at how our perception in childhood creates our motivations and coping mechanisms that we bring with us into adulthood (and our work).
Leslie is a friend and sought-after relationship consultant and Enneagram expert! I’m so excited to have her join me for this continuation of our in-depth conversation about the 9 Enneagram types, their superpowers (or gifts), as well as blindspots for each one to be aware of.
There is, in fact, so much detail Leslie shares with us that we divided the conversation into two episodes. Be sure to catch Part 1 of this enlightening interview!

You already know relationships are the foundation to a life well lived. Yet most of our relationships with our spouse, kids, siblings, parents, colleagues and clients are left wanting for something more. Since our relationships matter so much doesn’t it make sense that we become better at them? 
[Enter the Enneagram.] The Enneagram can greatly improve your leadership and your relationships. I know first-hand—my family and I have been able to leverage this unique personal development tool to improve our family relationships. But what is the Enneagram, how does it work, and why does it matter? We’re covering all of that in this episode with highly sought after relationship consultant and enneagram expert, Leslie Neugent. And we begin the conversation with a peek into how our childhoods shape the adults we become and the coping mechanisms we develop.
Leslie is not only a friend, but she’s also a sought-after relationship consultant, Enneagram expert, and speaker! I’m so excited to have her join me for this in-depth conversation about the 9 Enneagram types, their superpowers (or gifts), as well as the blindspots of each. You’ll also learn how the Enneagram differs from other personality tools and why it's so popular for increasing self-awareness in family dynamics, team building, executive coaching, and marriages.
There is, in fact, so much detail Leslie shares with us that we divided the conversation into two episodes.  Be sure to catch Part 2 of this enlightening episode by following the Playing Full Out Podcast and/or signing up at rita@ritahyland.com where we will notify you when Part 2 is released!
