| 09 Oct 2022 | Intro to Creating Brave Spaces | Season 3 | Ep. 1 | 00:41:52 | |
SUMMARY In the first episode, Katie Allan and I unpack the term “safe space” and the reality that we mainly function in brave spaces, not safe spaces. A safe space is when there is 100% trust, you can open your mouth and say anything, and the concern that you will be judged negatively and lose credibility is minimal to nonexistent. It promises to be an enriching learning journey. Be sure to listen this season. *Timestamps are listed below

| 12 Feb 2023 | Connecting With Others Part 2 | Season 3 | Ep. 4 | 00:31:50 | |
SUMMARY When discussing psychological safety – we talk about what it is and how to build it with the teams you work with. We also reflect on how psychologically safe are the teams you work with? Why is it sometimes hard to achieve psychological safety? What does the research say around how to foster psychological safety in the workplace and why does it matter? These questions are tackled in the episode! What is the difference between diversity hiring and a diversity hire? This episode explores both concepts in addition to how our implicit biases may affect how we recruit and promote diverse talent within our teams. This is why we have to implement a thoughtful diversity and inclusion strategy (diversity hiring) and consider the value that metrics and measures may add to capture progress and gaps, rather than simply quotas to check a box (diversity hire). Personal and organizational examples are provided which made for an interesting discussion on hiring practices and highlighted the importance of ongoing support and inclusion practices.

| 16 Apr 2023 | Responding to Challenges Part 2 | Season 3 | Ep. 6 | 00:38:56 | |
SUMMARY The episode focuses on the science of mindfulness and encourages listeners to consider the effects of simply taking a few breaths before beginning a difficult conversation. When we are in a highly stressed state, the part of our brain responsible for rational thinking is impaired and may impact how we respond to conflict. Changing the rhythm of your breath can signal relaxation and help you refocus. We then discuss common types of difficult conversations and tips on how to respond through a four-step process.

| 25 Jun 2023 | Maintaining Brave Spaces Through Boundaries | Season 3 | Ep. 7 | 00:43:17 | |
SUMMARY The episode defines boundaries, discusses why they are important to implement in our work and personal lives and explores the impacts of not having boundaries in place. We unpack why it can be so difficult to articulate and stick to our boundaries and share pesonal examples throughout the episode. We delve into how self-esteem, imposter syndrome and confidence can relate to boundaries. Then some tips and tricks are shared to help you think about your soft and hard boundaries, as well as your values and the need to acknowledge and let go of guilt. Lastly, we discuss the need to set a boundary for ourselves, not around what someone else will or will not do. We wrap up by challenging our listeners to identify one action they can take in the next week to establish or improve a boundary. Woman Up! Ignite the Leader in You Cohort 7 Visit our website | |||

| 23 Feb 2024 | Managing the Process of Change Season 4 | Ep. 2 | 00:46:42 | |
SUMMARY In this episode, we break down the change management process into its key phases and explore real-world examples to illustrate each phase and its significance. We also introduce various change management models and frameworks (e.g., ADKAR, Kotter's 8-Step Model) and discuss the pros and cons of different approaches. We reflect on the development of our change management model and talk about the importance of simplicity. Sinogap Solutions Change Management Model has 3 stages: 1) current state (what is and isn’t working), roadmap (how do we engage people and processes to move towards the desired future state), and future state (where do we want or need to be/go). We also share the importance of crafting a vision statement to help articulate the need for change and desired outcome to inform and build awareness in others: “Because of (issue/challenge/need) a (change initiative) is needed to see (desired outcome)”.

SUMMARY We had our conversation in October, but many of the concepts we discuss are especially relevant to what we are experiencing today as we are now in the second phase of closures and restrictions. Our conversation went beyond what safety is, we discussed…

| 16 Feb 2021 | Ep. 16 Finding Your Purpose | 00:54:45 | |
SUMMARY Although many people say they want to be happy and live a meaningful life, evidence shows us this is not the reality for many of us. That is why my campaign, Leading with Heart – Ignite Your Inner Purpose, is focused on helping others develop a clear vision of their authentic self through the discovery of their purpose. So, when I interviewed Julian, I knew our conversation would not only ring true to me, but to many others as well.

SUMMARY In the past, I have openly shared my struggles as a new entrepreneur and how important it has been to develop my resiliency. That is why I was so excited to have Christina on my podcast. Christina has a unique take on how to develop resiliency in self and others – through escape rooms. Christina quickly discovered that the skills necessary to work through an escape room translated well into being successful in life and becoming better human beings. We talked about what an escapelete is and how someone can use escape rooms to develop a grit and growth mindset. If you are seeking support in shifting how you perceive and experience life’s challenges, you have to listen to this week’s Tackle Tuesday.

| 16 Mar 2021 | Ep. 18: Replaceable | 00:46:34 | |
SUMMARY From my experience, I have witnessed organizational cultures degenerate to toxic levels because when the CEO left, they took their workplace culture with them. They didn’t think about or plan for a successor, which left the organization exposed to incompetent leadership. Succession planning doesn’t have to be a complex and multi-layered process. Even the simplest design can have a positive return for a company. This week’s Tackle Tuesday episode focuses on just that!

Our conversation had lots of eye-opening moments for me, and I have no doubt it will be the same for you.

| 08 Jun 2021 | Farewell to Season 1! | 00:05:53 | |
I remember when I decided to launch my podcast. I wasn’t sure what I was doing or if anyone would actually listen to it. Over time I not only got the hang of it, but I also discovered I had a true passion for interviewing thought leaders and experts in the field of leadership and organizational learning. When it came to selecting content for the show, I reached out to others to ask what they wanted to learn more about. So, it goes without saying that as my team and I develop our Season 2 schedule, we would love to learn more about what is meaningful and relevant to you. What are pressing issues you are dealing with in your organization that you need support with? Are there influential leaders you think we should interview?

| 26 Oct 2021 | Woman Up! | Season 2 | Ep. 2 | 00:43:23 | |
SUMMARY In this month’s episode of Tackle Tuesday, I discuss some of the challenges I faced as a female leader in a male dominated industry and how that led me to designing the Woman Up! program. I also discuss the confidence gap and imposter syndrome theories and why I believe these theories create more challenges for women seeking entry into leadership positions. I have experienced lack of confidence throughout the years, even with the launching of Woman Up, but my stepson recently reminded me how important it is to be a role-model and woman up myself. So that is what I am doing! I hope you enjoy this month’s episode and the personal stories I share.
