Be someone who listens and you will be heard. It's a simple motto and it's what we explore in this episode. Often when we try to bond with people our heads are so swamped with our own agenda we're not really in listening mode. Yet we know how fundamentally empowering and valuing it is when we ourselves are heard and listened to. We explore the power of this form of listening and some tips on how to calm your inner toe tapping urge to break the silence, build bonds and emotional capital with

Why your name matters

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/09/29

Dale Carnegie said “A person’s name is, to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” Names matter. The sound of your name cuts through any background noise, we’re conditioned from birth to hear it above anything else. It makes us unique, special and said in the right tone, valued. Remember someone’s name and you’re indicating their importance to you. Get it wrong and don’t get it at all and you’re instantly in the space of indicating someone’s lack of importance. In this

The Power of Connective Energy

2022/09/22

Hey welcome back to Season 3 of the Thriving Leader. This season with 13 episodes was researched and recorded over the summer of 2022 to be released during the autumn / fall of 22. Connective Energy is the third part of the energy leader model. Like the other quadrants it's an important one and it represents out ability to get more things done by combining our energy with the resources of others who often will give this up voluntarily. It's a real skill particularly if youve been used to having

Getting messy with creativity

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/08/02

Many of us tend to think in a linear fashion or were raised on project management principles of define scope, develop, execute etc. and yet the creatives and inventors that we most admire rarely worked in that way. The challenge with a linear process is that it is inherently reductive - the goal is to tightly define an objective and then strip back extraneous detail until something definite is delivered even if it's not really what people want or isn't useful because the need has moved on.

Overcome your creative fears

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/07/26

If you allow this to happen - you are the greatest barrier to your own creative talents. All to often our concerns and hang ups that we're not as good as others, that people will laugh at us, that we're not worthy, qualified or smart enough to contribute means we stay silent. When we stay silent we not only deprive the world of the good that's in our thoughts, but because ideas spark off other ideas, we're holding back the creativity of others. Time to get over ourselves, overcome our creative fears

You don't have to be the lone creator

2022/07/16

Often we feel intimidated by creativity - the blank sheet of paper, the pressure to come up with something new. But this is really pressure we needlessy put on ourselves. Most of the world's best inventions came from additive thinking, recognising something out there already and improving upon it. In this podcast episode I give you a couple of ways to bring additive thinking into your team, harnessing the vast range of knowledge and skills at your fingertips I bet you never even knew you had

Channel your inner child

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/06/21

when we were around five years of age we were awesome questioners. If we wanted to understand something we just made the ask, why, but why and but why. And then as we move into school and start being told there are facts, unquestionable facts we acquire a sense that our role is to absorb and accept realities presented by others. And then we transition into the workplace complete with an ego to be bruised that has built its sense of pride on what it knows, not what it doesn't know. And that stops

Seven ways to reawaken your creativity

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/06/14

Beliefs are powerful things, they build through our childhood, reinforced in adulthood to the point where we can't remember why we see the world a certain way - why for example we are not creative. In this episode I'm opening up the notion that creativity can take many forms and that often people are creative in one dimension e.g. outside work but not creative inside work. This gives seven ideas for bringing more creativity into the culture of your organisation

Safety First

2022/06/08

“If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less”, General Eric Schineski. Often when faced with the task of creativity it feels better to stay as we are in the safe harbour. In reality out on the high seas are people who had the courage to set sail and they're not waiting for you. In this episode we look at the cost of a safety first principle and challenge why we see creativity as risky. And Ian adds his own thoughts on innovation in food and beverage offerings in airports and

Waiting for Your Eureka Moment

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/06/07

At school we were all told the story of Isaac Newton. He sat one day under the shade of an apple tree and at one point the apple fell on his head and he more or less instantly discovered and was able to identify that the moon isn’t falling to the earth and the earth isn’t falling into the sun and in short articulate the theory of gravity that rests with us today. Marvellously convenient, except of course it’s not true – a grain of truth with an awful lot of embellishment. The thing is Eureka myth

Ideation is part of but not the start of the creative process.Your job as leader is to observe, wonder and question why and what if.Organisational surveys repeatedly show most workers believe their bosses tap into less than 50% of their available skills.In this episode we look at how you as a leader can demonstrate and help others to ask the right questions in the right way, to notice difference in the world around and bring instant creativity to your organisation

Creativity Powers Innovation

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/05/24

Many organisations strive to be more innovative but they miss the point that innovation stems from creativity. Without creativity in an organisation's culture set up and DNA, innovation will not only struggle to emerge but you'll miss the bigger benefits on offer. Not everything that can benefit your organisation stems from bringing the world something it has never seen before. The starting point is curiosity to notice the world around you - that's the seedcorn of creativity and from there

The graveyard of great ideas

2022/05/10

If you're a parent you'll probably remember being advised to let your children grow in their way but be careful of comparing them with others.Yet it was so tempting to do look over the fence and then feel regretful for doing so. If you're leading a company it's equally easy to peer over the fence and be beguiled by innovation theatre or to find comparisons with companies that are not like you and you'll never be like them. Both send our creativity and ideas to an early grave, both stifle the air

Bearly scratching

Creativity is sometimes tricky and the environment around us matters. Sometimes we're in a white room of silence unable to even find the will to make a mark and sometimes things are so crazy it's hard to hear our selves think above the noise. When we're trying to be creative often we feel like we're waiting for the thunderbolt to strike but in this episode I'm introducing you the incremental creativity through a process called scratching. It's about adding progressive stimuli and components and as

The mythology of creativity

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/04/27

Many of us grow to believe that some are born creative and others are not. As far back as the ancient Greeks came the notion that some people are selected for creativity and others exist solely to admire the great works. In today's episode we're up for a bit of myth busting and look at the ideal conditions that as leaders you need to create and foster if you want to see creativity at work which ultimately will lead to the innovation you desire. Creativity lies in every one of us, and the conditions

It's season 2 and we're shifting gear into looking at Creative energy.

Instant energy fixes, assumptions and interpretations

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/02/15

In this episode we follow on from exploring limiting beliefs to look at the power of assumptions and interpretations. We live in a world with imperfect data, so when we're faced with a scenario and we don't know all the facts, enter onto the stage assumptions and interpretations to come to the rescue and fill in the blanks. Sometimes we're right but often of course we take unconnected events from the past and use those as examples to fill in the blanks. Sometimes this creates paralysis where we're

Instant energy fixes, limiting beliefs

2022/02/08

In the last two episodes of season 1 of the energy leader podcast we'll look at some quick energy fixes for you the person and if you're a leader of people for your team as well. Our brains are cognitive misers. They are very good at learning patterns and then repeating behaviour when the same event occurs without asking your permission. Most of the time this is helpful because it frees us to think of other things, but sometimes, the routines and scripts the brain learns from early experiences

The ten minute brain boost

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/02/01

In a previous episode we looked at the concept of the 50 minute meeting. Neuroscience shows that brains are not geared to concentrating for long periods of time and the 50 minute meeting is often enough for optimal focus. Assuming you've mastered the 50 minute meeting, that gives you ten minutes every hour. This episode explores choices for you in using your ten minutes between those that create the illusion of productivity and those that ultimately give our brains the boost they need to power us on

Irresistibly bad productivity strategies

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/01/25

In experiment after experiment scientists have proven that being productive, creative, accurate and producing consistently good results comes from harnessing good energy. Yet our workplaces and working lives are filled with energy sources that whilst giving us a quick jolt to keep us going, ultimately are not sustainable and create unwelcome side effects. In this episode I look at the work of Tony Schwartz and the concept of good energy sources and bad energy sources, why we feel drawn towards bad
