Today marks the final entry in our 4-episode arc on burnout, stress, and anxiety in the workplace. And I couldn’t have picked a better guest to round off that mini series than the self-described ‘Chief Burnout Officer’, Michael Levitt. Michael is a recognized global thought leader on burnout and workplace culture, his expertise in these areas stems from his extensive background in HR leadership and executive coaching. As a Certified NLP and CBT Therapist, Michael brings a unique perspective to the episode! We chat about our respective burnout experiences, Michael has some great tips on burnout recovery, and we also discuss the role of leadership in this area, how and why knowing yourself can make a big difference, and the role of simple daily practices like getting the small tasks done, prioritisation or self-compassion in preventing stress and burnout.

As he's currently leading his own company, despite having retired three times, it's probably fair to say my guest this week - Dr Frank Douglas isn't very good at retirement! But, as we talk about at the beginning of this episode, as long as you're doing meaningful work, feel like you're having an impact, and/or enjoy what you do: why stop? We talk about stress and anxiety at work, how this ultimately can result in burnout, and why issues like discrimination, bullying, and toxic cultures are often the unreported causes behind these increasingly common experiences. We discuss how and why key leadership practices like empathy, empowerment, leading by example, and accountability are the solution.

What's the best way to create a culture of autonomy, empowerment, and independence among the people that you lead? My guest today is Marcus Aurelius Higgs. He is a communication coach who works with parents of pre-teen age kids. He helps to help them to show up better, maintain a meaningful relationship with their children and this may sound like a bit of a departure from the topic of leadership... BUT if you think about those three words - autonomy, empowerment, independence - and the underlying importance of communication and relationships, suddenly the connection is more obvious!We'll be covering a lot of deep topics in this episode, and some surprising but enjoyable tangents! Marcus has also been a teacher, an author, and has lived and worked in several countries, bringing a uniquely earned perspective on the big questions of leadership. His love of words and launguage are on clear display throughout and I especially enjoyed picking apart the meaning of the word integrity together!Thanks for listening to this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

Do you often have disagreements at work or with friends?Have you put much thought into the way leaders and colleagues should disagree, or how to do so without disrespecting each other?Central to today's episode is an idea that is too easily forgotten in the heat of the moment with all of the modern context and stresses: it’s ok to disagree with someone. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean animosity, disrespect isn’t necessary to explain an opposing view. And perhaps most importantly, the role of conflict or disagreement isn't necessarily about bringing the other person to 'your side' or persuading them they are wrong.This question is pivotal to effective leadership, great leaders recognise the value in opposing views, see the benefits of healthy confrontation, and are active in the way they encourage and develop these things within their teams. My guest today is Philip Blackett, a consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with big companies including FedEx, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America. Philip has authored several books, including "Disagree without Disrespect: How to Respectfully Debate with Those who Think, Believe, and Vote Differently From You" which is incredibly relevant!Thanks for listening to this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.

Can you think of a better person to talk to about teamwork, high performance, or leadership than a former olympic athlete? Especially one from a team-based sport? No? Well, you're in luck then. Because today I’m chatting to Olympian and Coach, Joey Lye, about confidence, high performance, how to adapt and thrive, and her experiences of teamwork, leadership and crisis on the world’s stage as a competitor at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 - a.k.a. the ‘Covid Games’. We cover several of the big topics of leadership and high-performing teams this week, including managing imposter syndrome, building confidence, and adjusting to the unexpected (by learning to adapt and thrive!).Sports aren't usually my thing, as many of you know, but that doesn't mean I don't recognise the value and lessons to be learnt from awesome people like Joey; it was a great conversation and you'll find loads of useful leadership tips in this episode.Thanks for listening to this episode of Leading with integrity: Leadership talk.
