When was the last time someone gave you positive feedback? In today’s ep, we’re unpacking the science behind positive feedback and why it’s genuinely a culture game-changer, both at work and in life. Research shows that teams with more positive feedback outperform others, and even a simple belief in someone’s potential can elevate their performance. This holds true for marriages, too! Want to avoid divorce? Check that positive-to-negative ratio! Eek. We’ll explore how positive reinforcement works and how it can deepen commitment, and share practical tips for incorporating it into your daily routine. 'Til next week, Powrsuiters!

| 15 Apr 2024 | Ep 58: The joys of being an absolute beginner | 00:26:57 | |
In a world where expertise is revered, embracing beginner status might seem counterintuitive. Yet, our brains are wired to learn and adapt to change. So, in this ep, Nat and Kristen explore the transformative power of being a beginner. Are there downsides to expertise? Yep, a few! While expertise can bring respect and mastery, it also carries limitations. Experts may find themselves trapped in routine, resistant to change, and hindered by preconceived notions. Let's take kids! They exemplify the beginner's mindset, unburdened by preconceptions and fear of failure—their ability to embrace novelty and ask unconventional questions fuels rapid learning and flexibility. Embracing beginner status fosters a growth mindset, improves listening and networking skills, and encourages collaboration. What new experiences have you embraced lately? 'Til next week, Powrsuitors!

We’ve all been there! Negative Nancy or Downer Dan mode—there’s nothing wrong with blowing off steam or seasons of negativity. In fact, sitting in a problem mindset can even help you get to the root of the problem before jumping into solution mode. But life is too short to get caught up in a negative cycle—it hurts our personal brand and well-being. So, we serve up three ways to quickly shift to a solution mindset: paying attention to your response to change (and keeping a close eye on any red flags), seeking a fresh perspective, and creating the right environment to solve those tricky problems—for you, it might be walking, driving, or swimming!

| 18 Dec 2023 | Ep 44: Dispelling 5 myths about women at work | 00:29:21 | |
Wrapping up the year with Episode 44! We're taking a summer break in the Southern Hemisphere, so catch you in mid-January. After six months of deep dives, seven Powrsessions cohorts, and over 80 coaching sessions, we're here to spill the tea on some myths. Ones that we - and others - might hold about women in the workplace. 1. We’re not confident Contrary to the myth, we ride the rollercoaster of real feelings. Juggling a dozen things and often unsupported, occasional frazzle is just part of the leadership gig. 2. We don’t apply unless 100% qualified Spoiler: Not true! From juggling acts to the grooming gap, our hesitations aren't about our value. It's normal to question readiness, but we also champion the "if not you, then who?" mantra. 3. We don’t negotiate The gender pay gap isn't our fault. With the right tools, we do negotiate. 4. We don’t have executive presence Scrap the old-school leader image. We exude confidence through collaboration and influence. 5. We lack ambition Ambition? It looks different when juggling all the balls when we haven’t experienced the grooming gap and don’t have relatable examples to look up to. It's time to rethink these myths and unveil the truths about women in the workplace. Resources
