Description

Do you possess the key to unlock YOUR mind..? If not, then you're in luck. Because this week I'm joined by Matt Sturgess, the Mindlocksmith. We'll be discussing all kinds of mind and leadership related topics from the impact of stress on creativity and productivity, the importance of understanding the mind, how to manage anxiety and build resilience. Matt shares his journey from engineer to leader to coach, his experiences along the way and what he's learned about mental health, gratitude, and the challenges of imposter syndrome. We also talk about trust in leadership, the necessity of a positive workplace culture, the value of mistakes, workplace dynamics, and the importance of addressing toxic individuals. And much more besides, drawing from both of our personal experiences and insights.
