We are joined by Claire Sarafilovic, Regional Director at Faithful & Gould. She is also a crucial member of their ED&I (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) team. We talk about the societal pivot we are in and the work still to be done to create diverse workforces. Claire is a pragmatic soul, and talks about measures within F&G which we hope will inspire more organisations to integrate ED&I fully into their cultures, hiring policies and objectives. We learn: Honouring ED&I ways of working is integral to a humans sense of belonging to a culture.  The key to unlocking ED&I is facing the challenging conversations Claire's 'how to' guide to doing ED&I well!

Sara Smeaton returns to the Coach Approach, to talk 'The Great Resignation' - no, not the one you're thinking of - the one we've seen for years in our clients: What are we resigned to in our lives? What are we tolerating? How can we resign from our 'should's'? What boundaries need to be drawn and defended?  She also has the secret weapon questions to ask yourself to unearth what you really want in life - but you'll have to listen to discover what they are! We discuss how do we hold on to the things we want to change and Sara tells us that you can’t cut and run without a direction.

We kick Season 5 off with a celebration of ADHD. We wanted to understand more about this neurodiversity; with so many of our friends being diagnosed in their 30's and 40's, we were aware of what a life changing pivot this news can be.  We speak to Jesse J Anderson, an ADHD'er with a generous and informative story to tell about his experience of this pivot in his life. Diagnosed at the age of 36, he now shares his findings of the way his brain works with the world with his ever increasing TikTok, Insta and Twitter audiences. He is also writing a book with the ADHD community called 'Refocus'.  We learned: 1. 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder' is a highly paradoxical name:  your attention is actually on overload - you see and hear everything intensely. You are not decificent in attention!  hyperactivity is the myth of the naughty boy throwing chairs in the primary school. Actually ADHD'ers are prone to hyperFOCUS when they are interested in something.  2. Because of missed diagnosis ADHD'ers are prone to  addiction, due to a misfiring of their dopamine levels.  unemployment, because their interest levels are not sustain sufficiently.  3. Given the right tasks and opportunity ADHD'ers can be the most productive people on the planet.  We've never asked this so deliberately before but - PLEASE listen to this episode - you are VERY likely have close colleagues and friends who have ADHD, and it can be the super power they never knew they had. Spread the word. Celebrate neurodiversity. And marvel at Jesse's wonderful demeanour.  You can find Jesse J Anderson here: Twitter,  Insta, TikTok Free resources on ADHD and contribute to his book 'Refocus' here People he mentions here: Melissa Orlov: 'ADHD in Marriage' Dr William Dodson You can get hold of us at Pivot Points here: Instagram: @pivotpointscoaching LinkedIn: Pivot Points Coaching Twitter: @PivotPoints1 Email: [email protected] Cast & Crew Gabi Miller: www.gabriellamillercoach.com // insta: @gabriellamiller.coach Amelia Saberwal: www.kinestheticacoaching.com // insta: @kinesthetica_coaching Rob Sell - Editor / Life saver - Torch & Compass Rachel Lepley, Limitless You - Social Media management & brand design. insta: rachellepley_/

Noa Tishby is an Israeli actor (imdb), author, producer (of HBO's 'In Treatment') and activist. She joins us today to discuss her book ‘Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth’ which was released this year (2021) and really does what it says in the title. With her sassy, no bullshit tone of voice she combines her personal history with the history of Israel. She expertly and factually navigates an unbiased account of where the state of Israel sits both historically and today. Balancing heart and head in equal measure. We learned soooo much from the book and from speaking with Noa. So many ‘aha’ moments it’s impossible to count. Whatever your political leaning, as long as you're into equality and peace, this book and interview are for you.

As the working world returns to their offices, this week's guest gives us the inside story of what this global pivot means for this community.  Neil Usher is head of Workplace Strategy & Change Management for GoSpace. He's written two books on workplace and its challenges in today's culture.  We discuss: What's been gained by working from home and, the lesser known, things that have been lost. How organisations must return with a focus on the triple bottom line: the needs of their people, the organisation and the planet.  At any time, in business working hours, offices are only 50% occupied - a global average. The waste of space has significant impact on the environment.  How organisations need to adopt an experimental approach to their people's return.  Get in touch and follow Neil here: LinkedIn - here Twitter - here Blog - Workplace Insight GoSpace - here See his books here - Elemental Workplace & Elemental Change You can get hold of us at Pivot Points here: Instagram: @pivotpointscoaching LinkedIn: Pivot Points Coaching Twitter: @PivotPoints1 Email: [email protected] Cast & Crew Gabi Miller: www.gabriellamillercoach.com // insta: @gabriellamiller.coach Amelia Saberwal: www.kinestheticacoaching.com // insta: @kinesthetica_coaching Rob Sell - Editor / Life saver - Torch & Compass Rachel Lepley, Limitless You - Social Media management & brand design. insta: rachellepley_/ Alexandra Kolubayev (also known as Alix Kol) - Pivot Points Jingle
