Redefining Success

Julie explores how the combination of restraint and transparency fosters trust, builds influence, and drives sustainable success in leadership. She talks about how true strength lies not in the ability to use force, but in the choice to lead with integrity and openness. The discussion highlights the importance of transparent communication, accountability, and the creation of a culture that welcomes feedback and collaboration.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Restraint and Transparency Build Trust: Leaders who practice restraint by avoiding the use of force and embrace transparency in their communication foster trust within their teams, which is essential for successful leadership. Influence Over Authority: Transparent leaders who openly share their goals and challenges inspire loyalty and collaboration, encouraging team members to align with the leader's vision willingly rather than through coercion. Accountability is Key: Resisting the urge to impose outcomes reflects a commitment to accountability. Transparent leaders take responsibility for their actions, which enhances their credibility and respect among team members. Encouragement of Open Dialogue: A culture of transparency allows for open feedback and the sharing of diverse opinions, leading to constructive problem-solving and innovation, as all voices are valued and heard. Strength in Ethical Leadership: Combining restraint with transparency not only demonstrates strength of character and integrity but also creates a culture of accountability and collaboration, which are vital for achieving sustainable success. BEST MOMENTS "Leadership is not about having the strength to use force, it is about the strength not to." "Transparency builds trust. Leaders who resist the urge to use force and instead choose transparency demonstrate integrity." "Transparency encourages open dialogue. Transparent leaders create a culture where feedback, ideas, and dissenting opinions are welcomed." "Restraint shows strength of character, while transparency demonstrates integrity and a commitment to shared values." "Success becomes a shared effort when all voices are heard."

Julie embarks on a profound exploration of the question "Who am I?" delving into the layers of identity that extend beyond superficial labels such as names, jobs, and relationships. The discussion emphasises the importance of authenticity, integrity, and self-inquiry as essential tools in the journey of self-discovery. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their core values, beliefs, and the interconnectedness of their existence, while recognising that identity is not static but an evolving dance of becoming.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Exploration of Identity: The question "Who am I?" goes beyond superficial labels such as name, job, or relationship status. It invites a deeper exploration of core values, beliefs, and passions that truly define an individual. Authenticity and Integrity: Authenticity involves understanding and embracing one's true nature, aligning actions with values and beliefs. It is essential to incorporate integrity into authenticity, ensuring that one's true self reflects moral truths. Self-Inquiry as a Tool: Engaging in self-inquiry through profound questions about joy, core values, and desired impact can clarify one's understanding of identity. This process is about ongoing dialogue rather than seeking definitive answers. Spiritual Dimension: The journey of self-discovery includes transcending the ego, recognising that our spirit is part of a larger interconnected consciousness. This perspective emphasises the importance of understanding our place within the broader context of life. Embracing Change: Identity is not static; it is an evolving process. Embracing change and remaining open to new experiences and perspectives is crucial for personal growth. The journey of self-discovery is lifelong, marked by moments of clarity and confusion that contribute to our understanding of self. BEST MOMENTS "The question who am I serves as the bedrock of our very existence... an invitation to delve deep into the maze of your consciousness." "To be authentic is to understand and embrace your true nature, with all its strengths and vulnerabilities." "Authenticity has recently become a buzzword... It is a call to live with integrity-led authenticity, where your outer life reflects your inner truth." "The journey of self-discovery is therefore never complete. It is a lifelong quest marked by moments of clarity and confusion." "In the search for the true you, the journey is as important as the destination."

Julie explores the multifaceted nature of success, challenging the conventional view that equates it solely with financial wealth. She emphasises that success is a personal journey, unique to each individual, and encourages listeners to reflect on their own definitions of success. Julie introduces the triad of true success—health, relationships, and money—highlighting the importance of balance among these elements. She discusses the societal pressures that often lead people to prioritise the hustle over their well-being and relationships, urging listeners to create a vision for their lives that aligns with their true desires.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal Definition of Success: Success is unique to each individual, and it's essential to define what it means to you personally rather than chasing someone else's dream. The Triad of True Success: True wealth encompasses three pillars: health, relationships, and money. Balancing these elements is crucial for achieving genuine success. Challenging Societal Norms: Society often glorifies the hustle and grind mentality, but prioritizing money over health and relationships can lead to an unfulfilling life. Reflect on what truly matters to you. Proactive Steps to Redefine Success: To redefine success on your terms, create a clear vision of what a successful life looks like, audit where you spend your time and energy, and invest in all three pillars of success. Self-Relationship Importance: The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. Cultivating self-love and self-respect is vital for overall happiness and success. BEST MOMENTS "Success is often painted with one brush, usually green and covered in dollar signs. But here's the truth. Success isn't just money, and wealth isn't just financial."  "If you don't define it for yourself, you might end up chasing someone else's dream."  "The quality of your relationships can make or break your happiness and your success."  "Wealth without health or meaningful relationships is an empty achievement."  "Success is about finding harmony between your ambitions, your well-being, and your relationships." 

In this special relaunch - Success Suite - Julie returns to talk about the importance of building a strong foundation for achieving success. Rather than rushing into multiple tasks or goals, listeners are encouraged to focus on mastering the fundamentals.  Julie highlights the significance of intentional actions, quality over quantity, and the value of feedback in evaluating progress. By slowing down and reflecting on each step, individuals can align their efforts with their true objectives, ultimately leading to greater confidence and resilience.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on Fundamentals: Building a strong foundation is essential for long-term success. Prioritising core principles allows for intentional actions that align with true objectives. Quality Over Quantity: A few well-executed tasks are more effective than many scattered ones. Concentrating on quality leads to tangible and meaningful results. Reflect and Analyse: Before diving into new opportunities, take time to reflect on what needs to be done and how it aligns with your goals. This practice improves clarity and helps avoid costly mistakes. Establish a Feedback Loop: Seek external perspectives through mentors, trusted friends, or journaling to evaluate progress. This feedback is crucial for identifying areas for improvement and fostering growth. Commit to Intentional Action: Focus on doing things right before taking on more tasks. Each small, correct step contributes to building momentum, resilience, and a sense of purpose in the journey toward success. BEST MOMENTS "Building a strong foundation is everything. Imagine your core principles and approach as the base of your journey towards success." "When you prioritise your core principles, you're not just going through the motions. You're doing the right things, the right way." "A few well-executed tasks are more effective than a high number of scattered ones." "Every small correct step adds up, propelling you forward with momentum, resilience and a sense of purpose." "Choose one core task or goal you're working on and slow down your approach. Pay attention to each step."

Julie reflects on the profound impact of death, grief, and the loss of purpose. Drawing from personal experiences, particularly the death of their mother in 2018, she shares her journey of navigating grief and the subsequent loss of direction, paying particular attention to the importance of discussing death and the inevitability of losing loved ones, urging listeners to consider their purpose beyond familial connections.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Death and grief are inevitable parts of life, and it is important to acknowledge and talk about them. We the need to have conversations about death and prepare ourselves for the loss of loved ones. Having a sense of purpose is crucial for navigating through grief and difficult times. There is value to be found in finding a purpose that is greater than oneself and provides a sense of direction and meaning. Aimlessness and anxiety are interconnected. When one is aimless and unsure of which direction to go, it creates inner anxiety. This anxiety can lead to feelings of depression, stress, and a lack of positive emotions. Having a goal or purpose produces positive emotions and rewards. When one has a clear goal and takes steps towards achieving it, the brain releases dopamine, which creates positive emotions and strengthens the neural circuits associated with motivation and progress. BEST MOMENTS "Grief is a thing that we suffer from. Grief is an emotion. It will affect all of us very differently, of course it will, because we are all unique beings."  "So what happened? The relationship broke down. So not only did I lose mum, I also lost the purpose that I had with my partner. So all of a sudden, I had no future."  "Your brain is set up to produce positive emotion. And if you're aimless and you haven't got the goal, what are you going to reward yourself with? So the emotion of positivity decreases because you've got no goal."  "Find a purpose that is greater than yourself. It is greater than the person you are. It is greater than your partner, greater than your child, greater than your parent. Find a purpose that is bigger than all of those things combined."

Julie discusses the importance of effective communication and participative management in business relationships, sharing shares insights from her experience working in a participatively managed consultancy business and highlighting the benefits of this approach, such as diverse skill sets, enhanced creativity, and increased ownership and accountability.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Participative management and leadership structures require agreed sets of rules and regulations to effectively operate. Without clear communication and a shared vision, relationships can break down and negatively impact the business. In a participative management structure, everyone has equal power and authority. Decision-making is a collaborative process, and all members of the team contribute to the decision-making process. The agreed rules and boundaries within a participative management structure cover various aspects such as performance management, absence, expenses, salaries, rewards, decision-making processes, conflict management, attendance, and roles and responsibilities. Participative management structures offer benefits such as diverse skill sets, enhanced creativity and innovation, ownership and accountability, and the opportunity to challenge the status quo and think differently. BEST MOMENTS "Business relationships and relationships break down. It doesn't mean they break down because people are not good people. They break down because the communication and the vision, the objective has lost sight."  "When you operate participatively, it means that everybody has equal power. And when you do that, you have to have agreed sets of rules and regulations of how you operate."  "Everything worked because the 14 people made really solid sound decisions to do whatever it was that was required to do. And nothing went ahead without those 14 people agreeing, which when you think about that is stunning."  "Communication, communication, communication, and creating the culture that allows you to challenge, support, be proactive, adopt change, be flexible, you know, really working towards collaborative, participatively managed and led, respectful working environment. And that's the key to success."  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Life-Changing Magic of Setting Goals book by Julie Hogbin   The Authorities - Julie Hogbin: Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field book by Julie Hogbin, Raymond Aaron, Marci Shimoff, Dr John GrayStress The Reality by Julie Hogbin https://www.facebook.com/JulieHogbin2 https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousLeadership/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliehogbin/ https://twitter.com/JulieHogbin https://www.instagram.com/juliehogbin/ https://www.pinterest.co.uk/julieahogbin https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCne4bj3FIabagif_N7maTA I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

Julie reflects on the importance of listening and shares personal experiences of interrupting others during conversations, looking at different types and levels of listening, emphasising the need for active and deep listening to truly understand and connect with others.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Listening is a crucial skill for conscious leaders and effective communication. It allows us to understand the needs and perspectives of others, facilitate collaboration, and challenge the status quo. There are different types and levels of listening, including cosmetic listening (superficial), conversational listening (grasping basic points), active listening (fully engaged), and deep listening (profound understanding of both verbal and non-verbal cues). Interrupting others during conversations can be a result of impatience, excitement, lack of active listening skills, the desire to be in control or dominant, competitiveness, cultural norms, lack of awareness, anxiety, or the intention to help. Developing self-awareness and creating a supportive environment are important steps in improving listening skills. Giving full attention, seeking clarification, suspending judgment, and providing feedback (with permission) are key practices for effective listening. BEST MOMENTS "I have found myself twice this week interrupting people that are talking and wanting to get my point of view across before they had finished, which I have to admit is really unlike me." "In my world, they were too elaborate in their description of what they were talking about, which in my world was un-required."  "When we are in conflict, our communication style for most of us changes… I just wanted to stop him, stop him talking to get my point of view across because I knew the answer."  "If people are doing that to us, let's us not do that to them… How do you feel when people don't listen to you? It's not a good feeling, is it?"

Julie explores the concept of reprogramming the mind for success and creating wealth beyond money. She emphasises the importance of choosing to see the good in every situation and turning experiences into positive learning opportunities. Julie discusses the collaboration between the conscious and unconscious minds and how habits are formed both intentionally and unintentionally, and provides insights on how to reprogram the unconscious mind to achieve desired transformations and outlines the steps of reflection, commitment, and resolve.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important to reprogram your mind to create a successful mindset that supports and challenges you to implement changes. This involves choosing to see the good in everything that happens and turning experiences into positive learning opportunities. Unconscious mind for success: The unconscious mind plays a significant role in decision-making and habit formation. By consciously mapping your decisions and consistently choosing the new way, you can reprogram your unconscious mind to support your desired changes and goals. Commitment and consistency: Creating new habits and reprogramming your unconscious mind requires commitment and consistency. Research suggests that new habits take between 16 and 254 days to embed, with an average of 66 days. Making your repeated processes align with your desired outcomes is crucial for long-term success. Resolve and trust: Navigating conflicting options and making informed decisions requires resolve and trust in your intuition and the wisdom you've gained. It's about remaining adaptable, resilient, and committed to the path that aligns with your values and long-term goals. BEST MOMENTS "Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life." - Dolly Parton "Choose to see the good in everything that happens to you." "Reprogramming your unconscious is creating new habits." "Your unconscious is always in play and, believe it or not, in charge of what you do and how you do it." "Once you reprogram your unconscious to the new way, the new you, and your designed future, you create true personal power and place yourself on the road to reaching your goals."

Julie explores the wisdom of Greek philosopher Socrates. She delves into three key areas: leadership, personal development, and change, and reflects on Socrates' quote, "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle," emphasising the importance of compassion and understanding towards others.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Be kind and compassionate towards others, as everyone is fighting their own battles. We never truly know what someone else is going through, so it's important to approach others with empathy and understanding. True learning and growth come from within. While others can provide information and insights, it is up to individuals to think critically and apply that knowledge in their own lives. Teaching can only make someone think, but it is their choice to take action and make changes. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can open doors, reduce biases, and increase wisdom. Investing in personal development and gaining knowledge can unlock hidden potential and empower individuals to make positive changes in their lives. To build a good reputation, strive to be the person you desire to appear. Your reputation is based on what others say about you when you're not around. By embodying the qualities and values you want to be known for, you can create a positive reputation and attract opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."  "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think." "There is only one good knowledge and one evil ignorance."  "The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear."  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Life-Changing Magic of Setting Goals book by Julie Hogbin   The Authorities - Julie Hogbin: Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field book by Julie Hogbin, Raymond Aaron, Marci Shimoff, Dr John GrayStress The Reality by Julie Hogbin ABOUT THE HOSTJulie HogbinI started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years.

Julie explores the wisdom of ancient Greek philosopher Plato by examining his quotes on leadership, change, and personal development. Julie delves into the concept of power and how individuals can use it effectively or abuse it within their leadership roles.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The measure of a person is determined by how they use their power in leadership. Power can be expressed in various ways, such as positional power or personal influence, and it is important to consider how one utilises their power to achieve positive results. Refusing to participate in politics can result in being governed by inferior individuals. This quote highlights the importance of actively engaging in political processes, whether it be in government, organisations, or relationships, to ensure that one's voice is heard and their interests are represented. The first and greatest victory in personal development is to conquer oneself. This quote emphasises the importance of self-awareness, self-improvement, and challenging one's own ego. It encourages individuals to reflect on their values, goals, and past experiences to shape their present and future selves. Knowledge acquired under compulsion does not hold a strong grip on the mind. This quote suggests that learning and retaining information is more effective when it aligns with one's interests and motivations. It highlights the importance of finding personal relevance and connections to what is being learned in order to enhance memory and understanding. BEST MOMENTS "The measure of a man is what he does with power."  "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."  "The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself."  "Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind."  "You should not honor men more than truth."  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Life-Changing Magic of Setting Goals book by Julie Hogbin    The Authorities - Julie Hogbin: Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field book by Julie Hogbin, Raymond Aaron, Marci Shimoff, Dr John Gray Stress The Reality by Julie Hogbin https://www.facebook.com/JulieHogbin2 https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousLeadership/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliehogbin/ https://twitter.com/JulieHogbin https://www.instagram.com/juliehogbin/ https://www.pinterest.co.uk/julieahogbin https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCne4bj3FIabagif_N7maTA I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.
