How often do you feel and experience unbridled joy?

Everyday, every week, rarely, never.

Whatever measure speaks to you, joy is something we can unlock. And it is the question of how that Saj Shah and I address in this conversation.

Saj Shah is a force of nature whose recent Ted Talk was the most watched talk worldwide for the month of March. His book Joynetix: Unlock Your Joy Potential is a must read. And Saj just happens to be one of my closest friends.
Saj talks about moving from the STORM of life - where overwhelm, stress, exhaustion, fear make life like a battleground – to the Playground – where there is deep love, connection, fun, laughter and fulfilment.
Our promise to you is that in listening to this conversation you will be more present to joy.

How do you lead with authenticity in both your professional and day to day life?

This question could not be more pertinent right now during a period of unprecedented upheaval in the workforce. Countless people are leaving their jobs because they don't experience the kind of leadership that inspires, supports and gives people space to grow. The impact of the Great Resignation is expanding not decreasing.

And work is just one part of life, despite the constant blurring during the pandemic of the boundaries between work and home, the personal and the professional.

Unless, however, we all learn to lead with authenticity then we will continue to experience the negative impact in personal and professional lives.

In this conversation, I had the pleasure of working with Neelu Kaur, a Corporate Facilitator, Leadership & NLP Coach, and Stress Management Specialist. We offer a context that creates an opportunity for you to bring authenticity to your life – both professional and personal.

This is about throwing away preconceptions of what leadership looks like where they exist as limitations. It's an invitation to be open and curious, and question not just what you know but how you go about your work. We bring innovation to this conversation by taking familiar ideas like a 'beginner's mindset' but exploring them in a context which transcends the norm.

This is for you if you want to learn and explore the subtle art of effective leadership as a context not just for your job but your life. If you would like to explore this as an individual or organisation then you can book a consultation here.

About Host:

What would it be like if you had freedom from anxiety as opposed to just seeking to manage anxiety?

When I interview leaders around this it is not in the realm of possibility for them. In fact many equate freedom from anxiety as simply being able to manage it better.

The hold of anxiety is so pervasive, that when I ask ‘Will you always have anxiety?’ the answers are either an emphatic ‘yes’ or ‘I hope not’.
There is such a high level of resignation that this is how life will always be and you just have to make the best of it.
And I get it!
That was exactly how I saw things up till just under 5 years ago.

I believed having anxiety was my lot in life and I just had to make the best of it.

The impact for me was crippling, and the cost was extreme. From the outside it looked like I was ‘making it’ but eventually for me everyday became a struggle.
Having discovered the peace of mind that freedom from anxiety created it is my mission to create freedom from anxiety for as many people as possible.
In this episode I challenge the societal understanding of anxiety and share why this reductionist approach is killing any opportunity for people to live a life of aliveness, joy and peace of mind.
I share why our understanding of anxiety is conceptual and not experiential. So long as it remains conceptual, anxiety will expand as a problem in society.
You will hear me share about the work I have done to reverse engineer anxiety. This comes from experience, coaching, neuroscience, cutting edge research on anxiety, and working with leaders who have shaped the entire transformation industry.
