S2E10: Redefining The CEO-Chief Empathy Officer

As a working parent do you feel pressured into making choices between career trajectory and family? Do you sometimes feel invisible or disengaged when you arrive home after a busy work day?  In this episode, we’ll be exploring how we awaken parenthood as a busy executive. We’ll again be touching on work/life integration… reviewing the importance of partnership and support, whilst also highlighting the essential role organizations play in creating a haven for working parents. We’ll also discuss how to create and make the most of family time… as well as how to purposefully connect and engage with our children, as busy executives, and how to sustain engagement as children hit their teenage years. Thanks For Listening.

How well do you know yourself as a leader? Are you ready to lead and empower others in a team environment? In this episode, we’ll be exploring how we awaken team leadership in others, as well as how we might branch out and lead others in a team as an aspiring leader… We will also discuss what expectations we might set for ourselves and how to create and maintain that team ethic. Thanks For Listening.

Back in Season 2, we dipped our toes into entrepreneurship… reviewing a little of the reprogramming that is often required to enable that sapling entrepreneur to emerge… In this episode, we’ll be taking that a step further and we'll turn the lens onto how we lead ourselves as an entrepreneur and how as a budding entrepreneur we turn a sapling into a mature oak of a boss as we self-govern our entrepreneurial journey.  Journey with me as we discover together some of the necessary aspects that will DRIVE OUR PASSION and manifest OUR BIG WHY. Thanks for Listening.

As we begin Season 3, in our first episode, we will begin the journey into how to initiate that starting point of leadership within ourselves… what steps one can take… as well as areas to embrace within that internal leadership journey, whilst also discussing ways in which to empower our leadership story… Let’s enjoy this journey together as we explore what is a reconnection with our authentic inner self, whilst awakening the leader within. Thanks for Listening.

Do we embody empathy in our leadership? If not... What's blocking that shift? Do we advocate and nurture an empathetic culture within our organizations and homes? Let's journey together as we delve deeper into empathy and its value within the workplace, home, and within not only our leadership repertoire but within all our relationships and interactions. Thanks for Listening.  

When you conduct your strategic planning… do you incorporate social or environmental objectives into your company’s agenda? Do you create roles in your business that coordinate social enterprise or sustainability projects and initiatives? When you consider social enterprise… how do those objectives align with your existing organizational culture? Let's journey together and discover how to Walk the Walk, whether as a Social Enterprise or as part of a CSR Programme initiative within your company, authentically and purposefully committing to our Internal, as well as Wider External Community Members... Thanks for Listening.

Do you remember a time where you were totally fearless? That sense of boundless adventure, where anything and everything is possible? What happened between then and now? Many of you may say that you grew up... that the realities of the world took over... Are there certain beliefs that presently hold you back? that prevent you reaching beyond what is comfortable... and living a fulfilled and satisfying life? Let's journey together into what Limiting Beliefs are... how we can recognize them, and most importantly how we can push beyond them, breaking our inner belief barriers... towards a more fulfilled and intentional life of purpose. Thanks for Listening.

We are all consumers in some shape or form... as such, whether consciously or not, we will ask ourselves questions about what we purchase. Is it a TRUSTED BRAND? Is it a RELEVANT BRAND? Is it a RECOGNIZABLE BRAND? Is it MY PREFERRED BRAND? Yet branding... especially now... transcends product endorsements and flashy sales techniques...  ARE YOU YOUR PREFERRED BRAND? Do you WALK THE TALK OF YOUR BRANDING NARRATIVE? Keep listening as we deepen our awareness and discuss not only our business branding journey, but most importantly our personal branding journey... where our authentic self is called upon to step forward and take a bold stand.

Does entrepreneurship excite or scare you? Do you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur? If not, can that narrative be changed? Can we unlearn, and then learn what it takes, and in essence reprogram ourselves into becoming a model entrepreneur? Can we make those necessary adjustments in our subconscious mind that will permit us to move forward, to leap in when the entrepreneurial opportunity arises? These are areas we will explore fully, and hopefully emerge the other side perhaps inspired to address that nagging idea that is tugging at us from the far reaches of our mind. Thanks for Listening.

As a leader, do you seek to move your leadership and professional, as well as often personal interactions, away from being perceived as controlling or authoritative activities and engagements... towards a more synergistic relationship? Do you seek greater synergy at home in your family and community-based relationships?  Continue listening, as we journey together into Servant Leadership, and discover the many answers it can provide us in our own personal and leadership journeys. Thanks for Listening.
