    S7 EP 9 Series Wrap Up

    The Big Lessons And The Secret Sauce It’s here the season wrap-up, your fast guide to burst your next opportunity wide open and become the person you most want to be.  In this episode... We will explore the big lessons that have come from this series on how to have fun at work and the secret sauce to become the person you most want to be.  On a personal note... I was inspired to do this series when I was feeling stuck. Last summer, I was trying to decide on the theme and for some reason I was struggling to focus and get to work. Luckily, I was invited to a great values workshop run by Carola Baratella at Freelance Camp Italia in the beautiful Ravenna beach resort in northern Italy.   You may have already guessed that the biggest value that came up for me was FUN.  It was like a lightning bolt for my motivation.   All I had to do was focus on FUN in this series and make this not another thing I had to do but something I get to do. But that didn’t stop me doubting myself. As I was writing questions, I'd start to think... “What am I doing? Am I really going to ask people about their darkest moments? Their most embarrassing times at work, and even what their animal battle companion would be?”  I recognised for every fear that came up, that I was holding myself back with false beliefs of what I thought a business podcast should be. Instead by allowing myself to pivot and grow, I got to discover what my podcast could be.  I’m glad to say, I’ve had more fun, engagement, positive feedback and opportunities open up than from any other series. Discover Mental Fitness Each month, I train myself and my clients to build mental fitness' using the Positive Intelligence framework. The PQ program’s tools continually build and strengthen a Growth Mindset. Strengthening your growth mindset, allows you to take bigger risks so that you continue to learn, grow and win the moments that matter.  If you’d like to learn more about Positive Intelligence and what building mental fitness can do for you, check out S5 EP5 We Are Value Centric.  Ready to become the person you most want to be this year?  Then jump in and join the Waitlist for Vincita’s Mental Fitness Program for Leaders.  Details will be announced to everyone on this list in May ready for a new start date in early June 2024.   I hope you enjoy this episode and you dig deeper into the inspiring stories within this series.  Finally, a special thanks to all my GENIUS guests, my series sponsor Magic Mind and to you for listening.  To your success!

    S7 EP8: David Allison - How to make fast friends you value

    Ever feel like it’s hard to find and make deep and valuable connections?  What would happen if you stopped playing it safe, and started to boldly share your feelings, ideas and dreams?  In today’s episode of Snippets of Genius, David Allison, a human values expert, global researcher, and two-time best-selling author comes on the show to share our story of becoming fast friends, his big life lessons and the heart breaking moments that have shaped what he values most.  Tune in and you’ll learn  The fastest way to make strong connections The 2 questions you need to ask yourself to know if you’re doing the right thing in your career and business right now. What to focus on when making significant changes. The best way to build connections, and embrace opportunities that align with personal fulfilment.  How to re-frame “no” to be your second best answer for anything. This episode is packed full of humour, vulnerability and deep reflection. It is my hope that you also take away the insights to embrace your own authenticity and individuality and be unapologetically true to who you are, just like David. Keep listening to the end where David reveals his humorous playful side. Possibly, my favourite answer of the show so far to the question: ‘what’s the creepiest thing you could say to someone you just met?’ Now it’s your turn. Let’s look closer at the “what can make time stand still for you”. For example, mine is ‘Speaking’. I get a huge burst of energy when I know I am about to walk on stage. I can move myself into the biggest version of myself and I love being that version. What about you? Which of these do you catch yourself losing track of time with most?  Speaking  Writing  Designing  Creating  Drawing  Reading  Networking  Hosting  Organising  Mentoring  Coaching  Teaching  Write 1–2 sentences about why you lose track of time. Now ask yourself: would you do this until you were a 103? Does it feel like something you can turn into the biggest part of your day? What is holding you back?  What’s something you could do (or stop doing) to have more fun at work? Share your thoughts and questions with me at hello@carolinekay.co and take the first step to “becoming” the person you most want to be.

    S7 EP6: Izzy Francke – How To Forge Your Own Path Having Fun

    Have you ever NOT asked a question in a meeting as you don’t want to come across as stupid?   Do you sometimes bite your tongue because you don’t want to come across as entitled or needy?   My hand is raised.   Looking back, I can see how much I devalued my talent and expertise due to FEAR of not fitting in or worse not being valued.   The consequences of stepping out of the bounds of what is considered acceptable within different groups can hit your confidence hard.   Today, I’m talking to Trainee Counselling Psychologist, Stand up Comic and Media Entertainment specialist, Izzy Francke.   Not only have I have proudly worked with Izzy to navigate a serious case of culture shock, in this episode she shares her big cringe, dark and hugely embarrassing moments on both sides of the camera. Izzy’s story is one of leaning into her curiosity and her gifts to express herself creatively again, and again. Going viral on YouTube (12M views and counting), testing boundaries, facing fears head on and accepting the faux pars. It's only through experimentation you will find your tribe and your ability to truly sparkle.   Take it from Izzy: “you gotta find the fun in the now” In this empowering conversation we invite you to reflect on and explore   What is considered too much or too far in your environment? How to use failure as fuel to build wisdom and sparkle brightly Why you need to stop trying to fit in and play to your strengths. Why taking care of yourself will give you fierce focus to do your best work.   As you will hear from Izzy, forging your own path was and is still not easy. The feelings of isolation, loneliness and being seen as different are sadly still an everyday fact of life. However, we can all help to make the world a kinder, more equitable place. Let’s support one another with compassion — yes, when we succeed, but especially when we fail.   You will hear stories on this podcast that shock and amaze. To emphasise this, I have listed some of the topics below, which I urge you to consider before listening.   What are your beliefs and boundaries? What is socially and culturally acceptable for you? Let’s begin:   First date conversation around your vibrator? Hunting someone down and publicly shaming them for having a pooh Asking noisy people to leave a theatre versus laughing in a theatre and being asked to leave Protrusive nipples Hairy legs Taking an afternoon nap in the office on a Monday. Yelling at your wardrobe Taking to yourself and sometimes having a full blown fight with yourself.    Now Izzy and I would love to hear from you. Which part of our conversation resonated most with you and why?   What can you do to reclaim your sparkle right now?     ---- This episode is brought to you by Caroline Kay.

    S7 EP4: Maisie Nicholls - How To Bring Yourself Back To The Joy

    This is a wonderful conversation about how you can learn what is invisibly holding you back from becoming all you can be. And even, righting the wrongs of your past. Interested? I am.  So I asked, Maisie Nicholls - an EMDR Therapist - to tell us everything she knows about trauma, big and small, and the practices that can truly support you to step into your light.  Ever wondered what it would be like to tell your bad boss what you REALLY think of them? Then listen in, for a story that had my eyes out on stalks!! Perhaps, (like me and 1000’s of other content creators, business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders out there) you are starting to hate Instagram? Maisie explains why you might feel this way and how she ditched it then went viral on TikTok…  Even better, these ballsy moves and breakthroughs are not reserved for people who have coaches, psychologist or therapists (although having one sure does make the journey a heck of a lot easier). Today you will discover the simple practices anyone can make to feel dramatically different, less stressed more confident to make the most of the big opportunities life has to offer you.   And that’s not all.. I highly recommend making time to listen all the way through to understand: The #1 thing anyone can do to build joy into every day starting now. The 3 ingredients to have fun at work The spectrum of trauma and the triggers  What feeder memories are and how they stop you in your tracks  Why “The glimmer moment” is about to change your life.   How calm, joy, happiness, fun, and relaxation can be had everyday and is a fundamental part of therapy and your route to success.  Trypophobia (trip-uh-FOE-bee-uh) a phobia not many people know about and how to know if you suffer. This conversation is jam packed with practical tips you need to know to feel amazing for as long as possible.  So tune in and learn the techniques to take care of yourself, you deserve it.

    S7 EP2: Simona Barbieri: How to Redefine Networking with Fun and Energy.

    In 2019, I was touched by alchemy. Riding a train from London to York. Sharing a challenge with strangers was when I first learned about the energising, uplifting, international community of HubDot; and the Italian born force of nature that is Simona Barbieri.  Little did I know that this connection would soon become an important part of my journey in entrepreneurship.  Simona Barbieri, Founder of HubDot, and I met in London and immediately, I knew I’d found both a special concept and a kindred spirit.  As I learned about her own journey from Naples to London and her passion about the transformative power of networking. And, her relentless work ethic to create a global movement and change lives. It was clear we had magic to create through the power of storytelling. In this episode you’ll learn:  How she turned her childhood dreams and scars into an empowering part of who she is Why the negative feedback from a recruiter fuelled her to write 240 letters and the life changing moment she encountered.  The value of YOUR own story to inspire and mobilise teams How she wisely sees labels, job titles and differences as something we need to breakthrough to create a belonging in any space or place.  Why she refuses to be labelled or put in a box and how important it is to be human! Simona is a talent, creating transformations from the stage through stories and songs. I think you’ll really appreciate her invitation to honour who you are and give yourself permission to be the person you most want to be.  While Simona is a jazz musician, a mum, an entrepreneur, and a proud Neapolitan, the conversation about rejection, perseverance and owning your story are relevant no matter what walk of life, country or industry you’re from.  And, if you love hearing stories and connecting with passionate individuals as much as I do; join one of HubDots Free Online Piazza’s the last Tuesday of every month.  To your success!  Caroline x Learn more about your ad choices.
