Leaders need to be professional. This helps them to establish trust, credibility and a strong reputation in business. But what does “professionalism” mean when to comes to leadership. Am I talking about outfit or appearance? Not in this episode. In this episode, when I refer to professionalism in leadership, I’m talking about honesty, respect, accountability, communication and more. I’m talking about basic human traits that help you better interact with other people. You might ask yourself, “Well if they’re basic, don’t I already know about them?”. Maybe. But chances are you need a reminder or a different perspective to really cement those principles in your mind and help you become a better leader. If that’s what you’re interested in, then listen to this episode.

| 31 Jul 2022 | Sound More Decisive When You Speak (Do THIS!) [078] | 00:18:37 | |
Being indecisive or sounding indecisive when you speak is a common hurdle for many emerging leaders. Most of the time, it’s because you’re waiting for approval, permission or you’re fearful of saying the wrong thing. But when you sound indecisive when you speak, especially at work, it makes you look like you lack confidence in yourself - which in turn makes people question your capability at work. Sounding decisive when you speak is an important skill you must develop, and in this episode, you will learn how. I share with you the one major shift you need to make in your communication to sound more decisive (and this shift is extremely easy!). Then, I share with you two case studies so you can see the indecisive communication in action, understand what is wrong with it, and learn how to change it. You’ll learn what you should say instead to sound more decisive. By the end of this episode, you will have a number of communication tools and sentences that you can use to sound more decisive at work, and ultimately, boost the level of confidence you convey to others.

| 30 Sep 2022 | Why Your Team Doesn’t Respect You (and what to do about it) [079] | 00:14:10 | |
As a leader, how can you get your team to respect you? This is a common question that many leaders ask when they begin with a new team or begin a leadership position for the very first time. Why is this important? If your team don’t respect you, they won’t follow you. If they don’t follow you, you can’t make the impact you want as a leader. An incredible amount of your job as a leader requires the support and power of the people in your team. I bet you thought it was the other way around! To some extent it is. But you rely on your team for so much. If they don’t respect you, they won’t be there to support and help you achieve your goals. This episode will share five reasons why your team doesn’t respect you, and I also share strategies to help you overcome this lack of respect. Listen in on the podcast platform of your choice! I hope you enjoy this episode. Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Learning & Development Video Courses!

| 31 Oct 2022 | 5 Myths About Leadership That Are Holding You Back [080] | 00:18:56 | |
Over my time as a leadership coach, I’ve heard from many emerging leaders what appear (to them) to be very valid reasons as to why they’re not ready for leadership. They might say, “I don’t know all I need to know yet”, “I’m not extroverted enough”, or “I don’t have the title of a leader”. These are all myths, or mis-truths, about leadership that WILL hold you back. They keep you playing small. They make you believe that you’re not capable enough to be a leader. The reality is, anyone can be a leader. But in order to get there, you must overcome these mental hurdles that are in your way. So in this episode, I delve deep into five common myths that could be holding you back from a leadership position. I also share simple strategies to help you get out of these blocks.

| 30 Nov 2022 | How to Articulate Complicated Thoughts Clearly [081] | 00:19:06 | |
One of the ways in which we can distinguish average leaders from great leaders is their ability to communicate. Their ability to explain complicated topics in a clear and articulate way. You might think that people who speak in an articulate way, were born like that. But as you’ll discover in this episode, it’s more likely that they’ve been trained - trained to speak in a way that is articulate and eloquent. Personally, it has been my lifelong mission to be more articulate when I speak. And through this journey, I’ve discovered a 3-step process that has helped me immensely to improve my communication. It’s a process that anybody can put into action, even you. It’s based on the concept that “our speech is a reflection of our thinking”. This means that in order for us to speak clearly, we need to ensure our thoughts are clear and structured first. Once your thoughts are clear in your mind, it will be much easier for you to communicate those thoughts in a clear and articulate way. If you’ve ever felt that you get your thoughts muddled, you don’t make sense when you speak, or you can’t express what is on your mind in a clear way, then this episode is for you! Discover my 3-step process to articulating your thoughts well in this episode. Resources that I mentioned in this episode:

| 31 Dec 2022 | Build Credibility at Work: 3 Powerful Tactics! [082] | 00:13:34 | |
Building credibility in the workplace is something all emerging leaders should be concerned with. When you are known as a credible professional, people respect you more. They are eager to hear your ideas and opinions in meetings. And they will often come to you for advice. Whereas leaders who don’t have credibility, or have very little credibility in the workplace, can’t have as much impact because people won’t believe that they’re truly capable. They will question your ideas and they might immediately dismiss them without consideration. Credibility in the workplace might seem difficult or even a little cryptic to build. But in reality, it’s through a series of very easy steps that you can build credibility. It’s something any emerging leader is capable of, even you! And in this episode, I reveal three powerful ways you can build credibility at work. When you start to implement these tactics this year at work, I know you will see and feel that everything you do and say at work has more impact. You will become a credible professional. And you might even see results such as promotions, pay rise or higher level projects. Listen to this episode and start your year off with the attention and success you deserve.

When you want to improve your speaking, it’s important to expand your vocabulary. When you expand your vocabulary, you elevate your mental dictionary and give yourself the chance to use words that are more descriptive, precise and articulate. But learning new words to expand your vocabulary isn’t just a matter of picking up a dictionary. It requires a more thoughtful process of finding the right vocabulary, recording it, memorising it and using it. When each of these steps are performed in the right way, it will definitely help you to commit new words to your mental dictionary so you can recall them at a later time and improve your speaking.

| 08 Oct 2024 | Master These 7 People Skills to Become a Great Leader [093] | 00:29:20 | |
In this episode, I share 7 people skills you need to become a great manager or leader. Aspiring managers or leaders who show a high level of technical skill are often seen as competent enough to get promoted into senior levels. However, what often happens with these types of skill-based promotions is that while the individual has the technical skills necessary for the job, they often lack the people skills they need to manage and lead well. And this can lead them to underperform in their new position or for their boss to question whether they’re the right person for the job. I created this episode to help you avoid this dilemma.

| 24 Feb 2020 | [001] How the Leadership Pod can Help You as an Emerging Leader | 00:17:05 | |
Keeping your head down and doing a good job at work is no longer enough to get noticed and promoted. This is a roadblock that prevents many emerging leaders from climbing up and rising to the level of success they desire. You put in a tonne of work improving your technical skill and you probably work longer hours than others in the office, only to discover that people with less technical skill than you or less prestigious qualifications than you, get promoted instead of you! In this episode, I discuss how the world of work has changed and what emerging leaders need to do so they can be noticed and promoted. I also discuss what this podcast, The Leadership Pod, is about, what topics you can look forward to in future episodes, and a unique style of episode I will bring in once a month. You’ll also find out more about me, my background and how I help my clients now in my business, Executive Impressions.

| 24 Feb 2020 | [002] Why You Need to Think About Leadership Development Early in Your Career | 00:24:17 | |
Many emerging leaders don’t think about their leadership development until something dramatic has happened to them in their career. Maybe they’ve been overlooked for a promotion or perhaps they don’t receive the high-level projects they need to prove themselves. These critical events push people to start thinking about at their leadership development. Have you experienced critical events like these? When you’re early in your career, things go smoothly for you. You don’t have much responsibility and most of your effort goes toward learning the job. But at some stage, you might reach a breaking point. You might start to notice obstacles or blocks appearing in your career journey. It’s at this point, you’re likely to understand how important leadership development is in your career and wished you’d invested in it earlier. In this episode, I go into five reasons why you need to think about leadership development early in your career so you can be ready before a leadership opportunity lands in your lap.

| 08 Mar 2020 | [004] Q&A Episode - How Can I Get Noticed and Rewarded for the Great Work That I Do? | 00:26:47 | |
This is the first Q&A Episode for The Leadership Pod. The question for this episode is, “How Can I Get Noticed and Rewarded for the Great Work That I Do?”. This question came to me from one of my Udemy students. Being overlooked, feeling under-appreciated, working harder and longer than everybody else but getting no reward for it, is a common issue for many emerging leaders. So I knew that this would be the perfect issue to talk about in the first Q&A episode. In this episode, I first take a deeper look at this common issue for emerging leaders, then give some solutions you can try, and then talk about what you can expect to happen when you solve this issue at work. I hope this episode is going to be helpful for you. If you've ever felt overlooked for the hard work that you do in the office, you'll get a lot out of this episode! In this episode, I discuss:

| 29 Mar 2020 | [007] Top Soft Skills for Future Leaders | 00:35:01 | |
Many new managers aren’t equipped with the soft skills they need to lead a team. They’re usually promoted based on the level of technical skill they have, or the number of years of experiences they have. They’re thrown into the role of a leader, but they don’t know anything about how to lead a team. They have good technical skills, but they don’t have good people management skill. This is where the breakdown occurs. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode, I talk you through the top 5 soft skills that you need to know about if you want to succeed as a new leader.

How can you say “no” to others with confidence? Why is saying “no” difficult? Saying “no” to others can be incredibly difficult for emerging leaders and managers. You might be a “people-pleaser”. You might feel guilty whenever you say “no”. Or you might be fearful of hurting or of being challenged. These are normal fears.

In order to do this, you need to learn how to say “no” when you need to.

Do you want to find new clients at networking events? Have you tried networking to land new clients but haven’t been successful? Many emerging leaders who are required to find new clients for their own business, or do business development for their employer, approach networking events the wrong way.

| 18 Oct 2020 | [036] Why Disagreeing Makes You Look Like a Leader | 00:21:07 | |
What are the benefits of disagreeing? Why do you need to disagree as a leader? Many people avoid disagreeing. It can be daunting, especially if you’re disagreeing with somebody more powerful than you. However, in leadership, it’s critical that you develop the skill to disagree when you need to and want to. Holding back from disagreeing can lead to many negative repercussions in leadership. The main one being, you can let bad ideas stay in the conversation, driving your team’s growth in the wrong direction, which in turn, damages your reputation as a leader. In this episode, I share my thoughts on why it can be hard to disagree and then I continue on with three reasons as to why you should disagree when you’re a leader. In “Why Disagreeing Makes You Look Like a Leader”, you will learn:

| 25 Oct 2020 | [37] How to Disagree Assertively With Someone at Work | 00:25:55 | |
Learning how to disagree assertively with someone at work is a key skill that emerging leaders need to master. As you climb higher in the corporate world, you need to make your opinion known. You need to look like an independent thinker if you want to establish the reputation as a leader. And disagreeing with people at work when you need to or want to is a great way to do this. However, disagreeing doesn’t come naturally to many people. If you’re more of a passive communicator, you’re likely to use a lot of indirect language when you disagree, causing your disagreement to sound weak. If you’re more of an aggressive communicator, your disagreements can sound too direct and overpowering. There is a middle ground that is disagreeing assertively. This allows you to get your point across with confidence and conviction, while at the same time, maintaining a positive working relationship with the other person. In this episode, How to Disagree Assertively With Someone at Work, I guide you through the 5-step strategy that will help you disagree assertively. I teach you the foundational concepts behind this strategy and give you example sentences to use in your next disagreement. You will learn:

| 15 Nov 2020 | [040] Your Professional Image When You Work From Home | 00:25:27 | |
How to maintain a professional image when you work from home. This is a question many emerging leaders are asking themselves in 2020. When you work from home, it’s tempting to opt for comfortable clothing such as activewear, loungewear or pyjamas. However, these outfit choices can have an impact on your level of productivity and confidence when you work from home. A 2020 study by CouponFollow with 1,000 remote workers found that 80% of people who dress more formally felt more productive throughout the day. Personally, I’ve found when I lift my level of formality in my WFH outfits, I immediately feel more confident and I’m more productive in my work. In this episode of The Leadership Pod, I talk more about this issue and I share with you some ideas on what you can wear when you work from home. You will learn:

| 07 Feb 2021 | [051] What Happens When You Start to Set Boundaries? | 00:13:20 | |
A common question when people start to set boundaries is: what happens when you set boundaries? How will other people react? Will they become aggressive with you? How should I respond? All of these questions are normal when you start to set boundaries. There are two difficulties you’re up against when you set boundaries. First, you have to work up the courage to set boundaries with the other person. Second, you have to be prepared to protect those boundaries once you’ve set them. It’s the “protection” aspect I address in this podcast episode. Protecting your boundaries once you’ve set them is incredibly important. People will try to push your boundaries. They will try to get you to change your mind and do what they want you to do. As a leader, it’s very important that you are strong enough to protect your boundaries and not give in to other people’s pressure. Setting boundaries in your professional or personal life can be challenging, but not impossible. I hope this podcast episode will give you the confidence to protect your boundaries once you’ve set them. In this episode, you will learn:

| 14 Feb 2021 | [052] Q&A Can You Stop People Communicating Aggressively? | 00:12:48 | |
Can you stop people communicating aggressively with you? This was a question I received from one of my video course students. You may have come across this situation yourself. Perhaps you’ve asked yourself, “how to deal with aggressive communicators” or “how to stop people communicating aggressively”. Dealing with people who communicate aggressively with you is challenging, especially if you’re coming from a passive style of communication. Rather than changing the other person’s communication style (which is near impossible), a better strategy is to use assertive communication to guide them to communicate with you the way you want. Assertive communication is the best style of communication to use in both your personal and business life. It helps you set boundaries and communicate more openly and honestly to people around you. When you master assertive communication, you feel more empowered and in control of your life, and you can stop those aggressive communicators! In this podcast episode, I answer the question, “Can you stop people communicating aggressively with you?”. You will learn:

Do you want to learn the top business etiquette tips for the workplace in 2021? Business etiquette is an integral part of a well-functioning office. Since Covid-19 and the related events of 2020, many of the traditional “rules” of business etiquette have changed. As many businesses return to the office in 2021, there will be a lot of confusion around the etiquette of interacting with your colleagues and coworkers. You may be unsure whether you can or should shake hands. You may find that people are more stressed and communicate with you in an aggressive way. How do you deal with that? And then there is your professional outfit and how do you transition away from the more casual, work from home outfits. All of these topics and more I talk about in this week’s podcast episode and related YouTube video below. In this podcast episode (and related YouTube video below), you will learn about:

| 21 Mar 2021 | [056] Q&A: How Can I End a Conversation Gracefully at a Networking Event | 00:20:37 | |
How to end a conversation at a networking event. Ending conversations at networking events is challenging for many emerging leaders. You don’t want to sound impolite. You don’t want to be rude or offend your conversation partner. But at the same time, you don’t want to be stuck with a rambler or in a pointless, boring conversation. Ending conversations is challenging but it’s not impossible. For leaders, it’s incredibly important that you’re able to end conversations when you need to. Your time is precious. You need to make sure that the time you spend networking is with people who matter for your career or business. In addition, being able to confidently end conversations makes you look like a leader. It shows that you’re taking control of the conversation and taking control of your time. When I started networking, I didn’t know how to end conversations gracefully. I thought it was rude and impolite so I would just let the other person talk. I ended up wasting a lot of time at networking events, not meeting people I wanted to meet and missing out on business opportunities. Since then I’ve learned how to end conversations gracefully at networking events and I’ve built the courage to do so. And in this podcast episode and related YouTube video, I share my strategies with you. If you want to know how to end conversations at networking events, listen to this episode below to get my eight strategies you can follow. I share both nonverbal and verbal cues you can use to indicate you’re ending the conversation. I also share many sentence examples that you can say to your conversation partner to end the conversation gracefully.

| 28 Mar 2021 | [057] How to Speak Like a Leader at Work | 00:19:08 | |
How to speak like a leader at work. As you advance into leadership, you’ll be required to use a different style of communication in the workplace. You will need to move away from the style of communication you used early on in your career and adopt a more assertive and confident style of communication. Speaking like a leader and sounding like a leader in workplace conversations is critical if you want to advance into a leadership position. You must know how to delegate to your team confidently and effectively. You will need to know how to share your opinions with conviction. And you will also need to learn to be okay with disagreeing, and disagree assertively. Whether it’s delegating, sharing your opinions or disagreeing, these are not communication styles that people commonly use when they are entry level in their career. However as you advance into leadership, these communication techniques are what will make you stand out, get noticed and get promoted. In this podcast episode and related YouTube vide (below), I delve into these three communication techniques to help you speak like a leader at work. If you’re an emerging leader and you feel your communication needs improving because people don’t listen to you at work, you get overlooked in meetings, or you don’t have the impact you want, then this episode is definitely for you.

| 09 May 2021 | [063] Why You Need to Have Difficult Conversations | 00:16:03 | |
Why do you need to have difficult conversations? Many people shy away from challenging or difficult conversations. They avoid them or make excuses as to why they don’t need to have that difficult conversation. Instead, they may try to leave “clues” in the hope the other person will pick up on those clues and change their behaviour. This rarely works. Difficult conversations are a necessary part of your personal and professional life. As a leader, rather than avoiding them, you need to tackle them head on. When you do, you feel empowered. Because you’re no longer taking a passive approach to life allowing a difficult situation to continue. You’re dealing with it in an assertive way. There are many reasons as to why you need to have difficult conversations. In this episode, I talk about the top 3 reasons that push me to have difficult conversations when I need to. You will learn about:
If you’ve ever had difficulty addressing problems in your work life or personal life and you want reasons as to why difficult conversations are important, this episode is for you.

| 16 May 2021 | [064] How to Deal With a Coworker Who Wants to Be Your Best Friend | 00:23:48 | |
How do you deal with a coworker who wants to be your best friend? How do you set boundaries with a colleague in the workplace who wants to be your best friend? The reality is, coworkers are not your friends. I know it sounds harsh. But you shouldn’t be “best friends” with your coworkers in the workplace. When you are best friends with your coworkers it muddies your professional relationship with them and can sometimes damage your reputation too. Being best friends with your coworkers can:
There are probably more reasons as to why you shouldn’t be best friends with your coworkers, but these are three that I touch on in this week’s podcast episode. Of course, it’s important to maintain a positive working relationship with all of your coworkers. And I encourage you to do that. But sometimes the relationship gets too intense. Sometimes it becomes problematic for you. It can begin to distract you from your work and damage your reputation around the office. I know you’ve worked hard to get where you are in your career. To avoid these negative consequences, I’ve outlined 5 ways you can deal with a coworker who wants to be your friend in this week’s podcast episode and YouTube video. These strategies are practical and will definitely help you establish a professional relationship with people.

| 23 May 2021 | [065] Q&A: How to Start a New Role as a Leader When Your Team Is Still Working Remotely | 00:22:50 | |
Starting a New Role as a Leader When Your Team Is Working Remotely is a challenge for many leaders in 2020 and 2021. You cannot see your team members face to face. You cannot get to know them the way you usually would in the office. And you cannot get to know others leaders inside your organisation as easily as you normally would. How do you build relationships with your team when they’re working remotely? How do you build key relationships with other leaders when everyone is working from home? These are key questions that many ambitious emerging leaders want to know the answer to and I address them in this week’s podcast episode and YouTube video. Starting any new leadership role is challenging. But when you cannot meet and interact with people in-person, it makes it a whole lot harder.

How can you build your personal brand when working remotely? Building your personal brand while working remotely or working from home might be more challenging, but not impossible. Over 2020 and 2021, many emerging leaders have been forced to build their personal brand, or leadership brand, without meeting people in-person. What’s important to focus on when you can’t interact with people in-person is your online, social media, phone, and email presence. Basically think of any way that you interact or communicate with other people while working remotely and that is what you need to focus on when building your personal brand remotely. I delve into how to build your personal brand when working remotely and share concrete steps you can take in the podcast episode and YouTube video below. You will learn about:

| 31 Aug 2021 | [067] How to Be Assertive On-the-Spot | 00:23:17 | |
How can you be assertive on-the-spot? Being assertive when you need to and on-the-spot can be challenging, especially if you’re coming from a more passive style of communication. It can be really difficult to think of how to respond assertively to a negative comment, in the moment. I don’t know if this happens to you but sometimes when I’m in front of a stressful conversation, a conflict or a rude comment, I freeze. I can’t think of anything to say on-the-spot. I start mumbling. I get anxious. And I don’t know how to respond to this person - until 20 minutes later! Then I think of what I “should have said” or “could have said” to that person. This delayed response time isn’t helpful when you want to be assertive on-the-spot. In this podcast episode, I share with you five techniques to help you be assertive in the moment. These are techniques that have helped me as a recovering passive communicator and they have helped thousands of my students in my Assertive Communication Skills Masterclass too.
