    Ep.135 Why Your Procrastination Stems From A Fear Of Success & How To Fix It

    Our first solo episode of the new era! In this episode I want to get into why procrastination isn’t really about laziness. It’s a deeply ingrained behavior with psychological roots, and avoiding it is a skill you can learn & practice. A huge thank you to Professor Fuschia Sirois for speaking to me as part of my research for this episode. Fuschia is working on an anti-procrastination tool called TEMPO toolkit. It's free to use and you can register your interest for when it launches here: https://fuschiasirois.com/2024/11/12/do-you-or-someone-you-know-struggle-with-procrastination/ + Follow us on Instagram @workinghardpod and TikTok @workinghardpodcast!

    Ep. 133 Why Our 20s Are So Confusing And Guide On How To Tackle Them With Jemma Sbeg [From The Archives]

    I hope you’re having a great week so far. We’re currently on a little podcast break at Working Hard, Hardly Working whilst we work on something hugely exciting which is coming very soon and I focus on opening the first ever TALA store which I still cannot believe is happening! But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the gorgeous Jemma Sbeg, host of The Psychology of Your 20s! Jemma is someone everyone in their twenties needs. Her podcast The Psychology of Your 20s, was one of the 20 most listened to podcasts in the WORLD last year, and she started it as a hobby whilst working her 80+ hour a week corporate job. I’ll be totally clear with you, my aim going into this episode was to get as much advice from Jemma as physically possible, to make it a guide to owning and understanding what is arguably the most confusing decade of our lives. We covered everything from finding your dream job, to comparison, to moving to a new city and so much more.  + JEMMA'S LINKS: The Psychology Of Your 20s: https://www.psychologyofyour20s.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatpsychologypodcast/?hl=en Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/jemmasbeg/?hl=en + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Today's is with Google UK Chief Debbie Weinstein. Debbie has not only been a trailblazer in the digital and tech industries, but she’s also someone who has continuously pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in the corporate world. I wanted this episode to be a manual for exactly how to build your dream corporate career, we get into the weeds of what it takes to get ahead, the key difference with high performers, the art of being a good manager, and generally how to navigate the complexities of the corporate world. + DEBBIE'S LINKS LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/debbie-w-62b2a44 + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Ep. 131 The Secret To Consistent Motivation & Achieving The Extraordinary With Professor John Amaechi [From The Archives]

    I hope you’re having a great week so far. We’re currently on a little podcast break at Working Hard, Hardly Working whilst we work on something hugely exciting which is coming very soon and I focus on opening the first ever TALA store which I still cannot believe is happening! But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the man with the most soothing voice in the world (who also happens to be a world renowned psychologist) Professor John Amaechi. Not only is he an Organisational Psychologist, an OBE, a New York Times Bestselling Author, a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology, a Professor of Leadership, a non-executive director of an FTSE 250 company and the founder of organisational psychology consultancy APS.  He was also, more surprisingly, the first Briton to play professional basketball in the NBA league, a move which saw him leave his hometown of Stockport for the world of professional basketball aged just 18. And whilst playing, he was the first NBA player to come out as gay. Never afraid to stand up and speak out, his book made me question a lot of things I thought I knew about myself and the way I live and work.  + JOHN'S LINKS: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/amaechi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnamaechiobe/?hl=en APS: https://www.apsintel.com/ + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Ep. 130 Fertility & Reproductive Health 101 with Dr Helen O'Neill (+ The Dire State Of Women's Health) [From The Archives]

    I hope you’re having a great week so far. We’re currently on a little podcast break at Working Hard, Hardly Working whilst we work on something hugely exciting which is coming very soon and I focus on opening the first ever TALA store which I still cannot believe is happening! But you know I would never leave you without inspiring content on a monday morning! So I’ve picked my absolute favourite episodes from the nearly 130 we’ve released. Today's is with the geneticist & fertility researcher Dr Helen O'Neill. Dr O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch. Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip. + HELEN'S LINKS: Hertility: https://hertilityhealth.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.helenoneill/?hl=en + MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/ + SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own brands, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
