Episode 31: Chapter 7 - Run a Tight Ship (How to be Organised and Efficient)

In this episode, I dive into Chapter 7 of my bestselling book  Inner Brilliance, Outer Shine: 10 Antidotes to Imposter Syndrome, Workaholism & Stress. I share practical strategies for running a tight ship in both your work and personal life. I open up about my own journey with boundaries, time management, and the lessons I’ve learned from clients and personal experience. If you’re ready to stop overworking, reclaim your time, and shine brighter, this episode is for you. Key Topics Covered: • Why Boundaries Matter: I share how setting boundaries has helped me (and my clients) avoid burnout and reclaim joy in work and life. • Parkinson’s Law: I explain how work expands to fill the time we give it, and why limiting our "thinking time" to four hours a day can boost creativity and effectiveness. • Production Line Analogy: I use my experience in manufacturing to illustrate how we can manage our workload, avoid bottlenecks, and prevent overwhelm. • Saying No (Without Guilt): I talk about the importance of saying no, even when it feels uncomfortable. • Time and People Boundaries: I reflect on how I’ve learned to protect my time from "time stealers" and set healthy boundaries with people who drain my energy. • Delegation and Letting Go of Perfectionism: I discuss how perfectionism and the need to please can lead to overwork, and how I’ve helped clients (and myself) delegate and trust others. • Owning Your Space: I share stories about how body language, mindset, and language can help us project confidence and claim our space, at work and beyond. • Recognising When You’ve Used Up Your ‘Help Quota’: I talk about the importance of fair exchange in relationships and knowing when to step back from giving too much.

Purpose Driven Leadership

I love new beginnings. The chance to reflect & protect what’s been brilliant to date. Then project & create expectations about what will be brilliant in the future. The topic of yesterday’s first session: the power of purpose driven leadership. It’s that spark that makes you leap out of bed and how we make a difference to others’ lives. It’s the kind of leadership that doesn’t require prompting, it naturally attracts like-minded people who want to follow your example. It’s the activities you don’t have to be asked to perform, which give you zest and vigour. Isn’t it great when you stumble upon this? Equally isn’t it great when you actively seek & find it ✨ Everyone benefits. That’s why I was doing a spontaneous finger dance 🤣…it’s the start of a team’s adventure. #NextLevelLeadershipProgramme #LeadershipDevelopment #leadershipcoach #OptimisingYourBrilliance

Can you have success without stress?

Who has seen the movie ‘Click’? Adam Sandler is a stressed out workaholic, pursuing partnership. It’s one of my favourite films, not just because he’s being a funny goofball, but because of the underlying psychological message his movies often have. It’s a great reality check. In his pursuit of promotion he misses out on some key life events. At the end of his life he has many regrets about putting success and work first whilst also damaging his health, happiness and relationships. As a recovered workaholic, the subject resonated and is the topic of today’s video. How striving to prove our worth through our work, we can can contaminate our judgment and happiness.

The harsh truth about managing stress

The harsh truth about managing stress… What do people like me tell you what to do to manage stress? In this video I explain: ➡️ Why this advice doesn’t work ➡️ What unconscious fears stop us from tackling stress properly, so that we don’t have to use sticking plaster strategies. ➡️How the real key lies in transforming our ‘autopilot’ — the unconscious mind, which runs our lives. ➡️How much of our fear and stress is dictated by this unconscious mind (up to 99%). 💡 And how in just 7 minutes, you can begin updating your autopilot, leading to automatic behaviour changes. Imagine saying "no" effortlessly, avoiding procrastination, and feeling calm and confident in your skin—without months of therapy, hypnotherapy or coaching! Join me in my upcoming free Master Class where I’ll dive deeper into this transformative strategy that has helped executives over the last decade. 👉 🔗 webinarkit.com/...58704b8d8c8ad39c5a72 . . . . . #StressManagement #Burnout #MentalHealth #Leadership #Resilience
