WALL14: How Can You Inspire Change In Your Business? Two By Tuesday With Leanne Hughes Leanne Hughes' Work And Live Large podcast

39:41

My guest is Suzanne Rose and she is a Sergeant of the Queensland Police Service, having joined in 1998. She was poached by a spotter in recent years, and landed the perfect role for her personality, running professional development workshops for police training facilitators. This includes her favourite signature three-day facilitation skills workshop - 'Facilitate with Flair'. Watch our conversation on YouTube . Her role has led her to study the craft of facilitation beyond her organisation, and to learn what is best practice based on research from around the world, including studies from the fields of neuroscience and educational psychology. We talk more about her Facilitate with Flair experience and how she navigates the mindset of "doing things differently" when working in an organisation which is hierarchical, and where things are done a certain way. Suzanne is committed to transforming aspects of police organisational culture around training. She hopes to reduce the mortality rate with the cause of death being PowerPoint, and actively inspires facilitators to be brave enough to try more engaging and fun ways to deliver their sessions - even the heavy, dry and serious policing topics. Suzanne is a full-time working mum who lives in Brisbane on acreage in koala habitat, with her husband and their two young daughters, a Labrador, pet chicken, and an abundance of wallabies, possums, rainbow lorikeets and kookaburras around their property. She spends any spare time making fun memories with her girls, and can't wait to take them on adventures through far-away lands abroad where nothing is taken for granted.

2 years之前41:46

41:46

Good leaders are made; they are not born. What does it take to be one? Watch our conversation on YouTube! Leadership is a very critical role in any organization, and oftentimes the success or failure of one depends largely on the kind of leadership that it has. This is why it is essential that leaders in the modern marketplace be equipped with good and effective coaching skills to develop people and lead more effectively. The popular rhetoric related to coaching tries to teach leaders to be executive coaches; in contrast to that, our guest today believes that coaching is an essential skill that you can bring in handy at any given time. Clifford Morgan promotes enhanced leadership by teaching leaders essential coaching skills that will help them develop their people every single day and therefore become more effective as leaders. He is an organizational psychologist and leadership expert who served for more than fifteen years in the Royal Australian Air Force. As a coach, Clifford has worked with CEOs, Military Officers, Government Executives, and business and community leaders across a wide variety of industries. Earlier his month, he published his newest book “ The Coaching Leader ”. I met Clifford in Brisbane, but I really didn’t have an idea about his backstory until I have read it in his book. But today, he’ll share that story with us as well as some few snippets of what his new book, “ The Coaching Leader ”, contains. A lot of community and business leaders out there really has huge potentials. If they could have the right training to acquire the proper coaching skill set that they need, they could unlock their full potential and become even more effective in their organizations. Tune in as Clifford dives into the details today. In this conversation, you’ll hear Clifford discuss: His experience in Iraq and how it shaped his perspective on work and life His new book, “ The Coaching Leader ” The importance of having and creating fun at work Having clarity in your message Click here for show notes and to subscribe to Leanne Hughes' Work and Live Large podcast.

WALL49: The paid subscriptions I'm stopping, starting and continuing in 2023 (Two by Tuesday) 13:28

When you think about paid subscriptions, it's really a question around what does your future hold? Today on the show it's not really a question I'm exploring, but I'm sharing something behind the scenes of what paid subscriptions I'm m stopping, continuing or starting, as a result of a recent subscription audit I ran on myself. With the SaaS (Software as a Service) f business model, we get sucked into paying a monthly fee. And then I don't know about you, but sometimes then I look at my bank account or read my email and the subscription is ticked over again and I think, am I actually using this? I think December is a great time of the year to re-evaluate what you're paying for and make a decision on whether you keep it, or it goes. So I think as a good exercise, it's definitely worth going through that. Enjoy the listen! - Leanne I'd love to see you in California in Feb 2023!

WALL48: Don’t walk, RUN (and why tradies make the best leaders) with Tim Guinea 59:06

59:06

How do we become the effective leader that this world truly needs? What traits do we have to embody in order to pave the way toward positive change? Putting ourselves on the receiving end of our own actions helps us rethink the way we’re doing things. We got to be able to take a risk, and not be afraid of it. As our guest today says, if you believe you can do the job, knock your socks off and go for it! Today’s guest is all-round legend Tim Guinea. He is a family man and the Founder and Managing Director of Autonomy & Asset Management Group. With more than 15 years’ experience across the mining and resources industry, he is an experienced professional with specialist knowledge across all areas of Asset Management. Tim has worked for, and with, world class mining houses and service providers including Anglo American, Fortescue, Downer EDI and Thiess, starting his career as a Drill Fitter in exploration, to leading teams of professionals to deliver world class outcomes safely, efficiently and on-time across multiple states. He is known for his leadership style and operational expertise, which has seen him improve culture and ultimately the business' performance. Outside of business, Tim loves to spend quality time with his family and has 3 children, soon to be 4 early next year. He loves all things outdoors, especially sport, and since retiring from Rugby League has found a passion in Triathlons. I met Tim when I was still working at my old company, Thiess; however, I didn’t know about his upbringing on a farm, especially on how that dramatically impacted his work ethic and attitude. So tune in and grab your pen, folks, for in this episode, it’ll all make sense. In this conversation, you’ll hear Tim discuss: Skills shortage in Australia and what Tim and his company are thinking about in terms of doing differently when it comes to attracting people How Tim’s farming upbringing helped nurture his resilience as an apprentice, a tradie, supervisor, and now a business owner What it felt like becoming a 28-year-old first-time supervisor and leading a crew that were mostly older than him (some double his age) Why tradies make great leaders (transferable skills of communicating, seeing the bigger picture, common sense, and pragmatism) His breathing technique I'd love to see you in California in Feb 2023!

WALL46: How to be Yourself and Professional at the Same Time with Mel Kettle 37:43

2 years之前37:43

37:43

When is it okay for us to call it quits and stop pushing through? How can we embody the real essence of professionalism as we set the boundaries we need as we live? Watch our conversation on YouTube! Have you ever sacrificed your precious “me time” to do work for your clients and/or attend a meeting for a job you don’t really love? More often than not, we tend to say yes to literally everything as we dive into the depths of doing business. Just because we fear what might happen if we refuse, we even sometimes end up losing ourselves. But as people say, there’s always a time for us to push through and for us to fail fast. It’s of utmost importance that we work on being self-aware so we can work and live large, especially around the things that are really important to us. After all, being a professional isn’t limited to being dressed like a professional. You can still reach great heights, wearing just a simple shirt and pants, as long as you’re in alignment with what you truly want in life. Mel Kettle is an internationally recognized thought leader on fully connected leaderships and communication. Her clients include leaders, teams, and organizations that want to achieve real connection and sustained engagement. She is the host of the “This Connected Life” podcast and the author of two books, “The Social Association” published in 2018, and “Fully Connected: Focusing on how great leaders prioritize themselves, reclaim their energy, and find joy”. Mel is a good friend of mine; I was at her book launch recently in Brisbane, and it was such a great and beautiful night, hearing her talk about boundaries and other related things. I am certain that this episode will be a value-rich experiment between the thoughts we have in mind, so make sure to sit back and relax as we learn more from the ever-so-receptive Mel. In this conversation, you’ll hear Mel discuss: What it takes to leap into an experiment to back yourself and your decisions How that relates to the self-awareness that you have The story behind her decision to move to the Sunshine Coast and leave the city of Brisbane during COVID, and why she’s so happy that she did it Things about boundaries, especially when it triggers work-life balance concerns The theme around professionalism in work context and how that plays out Conversation moments: (00:00:03) Episode snippet + intro (00:00:58) Introducing and welcoming today’s guest, Mel Kettle (00:03:09) The story behind Mel’s guesting act for today’s podcast (00:04:40) Should I push through or should I fail fast and move on? (00:07:36) Being connected vs. being fully connected (00:08:31) The boundaries Mel has in her business (00:15:06) What drove her to move from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast (00:21:13) We fear that things will fail, but what if it doesn’t?

WALL44: Why You Must Read Becoming Myself by Irvin D Yalom 17:35

It is just so amazing, having read a book that’s written in such a beautiful and easy way, that it has made me want to end my day early so I can spend time in bed, reading it page by page. Recently, I’ve purchased Irvin D. Yalom’s book “ Becoming Myself: A Psychiatrist’s Memoir ” after hearing about it from a friend. It’s such a book rich in value where he shared his reflections on life and development. As I read, these then led me to think as well, reflecting on the origin of my own self and the meaning of the life I’ve been living. Not only is this of great help to us as human beings, but also, there’s a lot to learn if you’re working in a group setting. From existentialism to isolation, meaninglessness, mortality, and freedom, Irvin has got it all covered, resulting in this masterpiece. So I hope you join me today, even though this episode is completely new and unique. Because here is where I’ll speak to share how this book helped me see life from a better perspective, mirroring my work and live large statement. In this conversation, you’ll hear me discuss: Who Irvin D. Yalom is What his book “ Becoming Myself: A Psychiatrist’s Memoir ” is all about The four givens of the human conditions Which parts of the book left the biggest impact/s on me Conversation moments: (00:00:00) Episode intro (00:00:18) Irvin D. Yalom, his book, and how I got myself a copy (00:02:58) The connection Irvin’s thought process has with the podcast (00:04:27) Short biography of Irvin D. Yalom (00:05:58) Highlight #1: The power of group dynamics (00:08:14) Highlight #2: Irvin’s insight on how each individual has a different inner world (00:10:59) Highlight #3: Irvin writing a summary of a previous meeting then giving that to the group the day before the next meeting (00:13:24) Highlight #4: “The volume of your background music will obscure the true chords of the analysis” (00:14:08) Highlight #5: Alan Willis and his dog, Monty Grab a copy of Irvin D.

More often than not, as we get sort of blinded by flashy opportunities and shiny objects, we fail to allow ourselves to have that time and space to rethink our career steps. Watch our conversation on YouTube! My guest today, John McKendry and I met through a gig we worked on together a couple of years ago, coaching pharmaceutical leaders back in 2020. He has these spaces in his career where he took some time to evaluate what he wanted to do next – and that is the exact reason why I brought him onto the show.

WALL40: Solving the Part-time Puzzle with Belinda Morgan 35:45

2 years之前35:45

35:45

How do we open that conversation around the benefits of working part-time in a world where hustle culture remains king in most lands? Watch our conversation on YouTube! The biggest assumption people have when it comes to part-time work in senior roles is that they cannot do it, and even if they can, they just shouldn’t. Overwork is being glorified and people think everyone should literally work hard, as if the whole place would fall apart if someone starts working part-time. But today’s guest has seen it firsthand, how highly damaging it is to people’s well-being, productivity, and results when only the business’ profit is the one being prioritized. So in this episode, we hope you join us as we dive into the benefits of a work that’s both flexible and fulfilling, giving you autonomy and freedom while taking action on your purpose in life. Belinda Morgan is the author of the book, “ Solving the Part-time Puzzle: How to Decrease Your Hours, Increase Your Impact, and Thrive in Your Part-time Role ”. She is a leadership and flexible work coach for professionals who know there is more to work and life but aren’t sure how to get the balance right. It has always been important to Belinda to do interesting and meaningful work, and to do it with a degree of freedom. Her current goal is to help other leaders find their perfect combination of freedom and fulfillment, as she’s already seen and experienced it first hand how big of a positive difference it is when you find work that is both flexible and fulfilling. In this conversation, you’ll hear Belinda discuss: How to ask or pitch the idea of working part-time The benefit for business if you are working part-time, especially the societal benefit of having more freedom in life Why Belinda and I love autonomy and freedom as part of our day How she had her concept of a book and got it out to market very quickly Conversation moments: (00:00:03) Episode snippet + intro (00:00:54) Introducing today’s guest, Belinda Morgan (00:03:30) The journey it took her to be where she is today (00:07:07) “Why not?
