Kerryn Vaughan - Exploring emotions

Get Off The Bench Podcast ·

2024/02/29

Emotional Intelligence can be quite an elusive thing. We all think we have it, many don’t, and some excel at it. But what does it really mean? In this episode I discuss how we all have emotions, they are all positive even thought they don’t always feel that way, and that we always have a choice about how we respond. I talk about how suppressing emotions can make you sick and you will always have leakage, often at the most inconvenient time, and how reacting can create very damaging outcomes. There

Up until 2003, I was a lazy Buddhist and a Trauma/ ICU/ ER Nurse who inconsistently meditated, read the occasional self help book, and was too overworked to recognize or remember my gifts.I was a single Mom, exhausted, and not seeking anything remotely resembling the metaphysical except maybe a good night's sleep with a prophetic dream.Abruptly, on a random Tuesday, everything changed.In October 2003 I found out my closest friend at work was murdering people.

Kerryn Vaughan - The importance of time out

Get Off The Bench Podcast ·

2024/02/08

Time out is critical. It’s way too easy to hustle and grind and think we have to live up to the expectations of other people. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can succeed and achieve amazing things, even if you take the time to rejuvenate and take care of yourself. It’s that old oxygen mask analogy in play here. Put yours on first or you won’t be able to help anybody else.

Kerryn Vaughan - Rethinking Rats

Get Off The Bench Podcast ·

2024/01/25

Let’s rethink rats. There are still around 110 million active landmines around the world, and detecting and destroying them is not a cheap or easy process, partly due to the weight and inefficiency of humans. Rats on the other hand, are extremely efficient at detecting landmines and other explosives and are being used around the world to help return land to local communities. The organisation leading the way with rats is APOPO. Not only can the rats detect TNT, they are also used to detect

Kindness, gratitude, simplicity and community are four words that easily come to mind when thinking about Cambodia. During a recent trip to deliver an accelerate version of my Confident Leaders Program, so many other things became apparent about the privileged way we live in developed countries. As well as how impactful it can be when you bring your whole self to work and truly invest in loving those around you.

Anishinaabe, Music composer, Multi-MusicianGrowing up in a musical household, Jaimi was singing before she was talking; and it was only a matter of time before she picked up an instrument of her own. At the age of four, her father brought home a mini keyboard, and she immediately started training her ear and taught herself how to play. When she was 12, Jaimi had asked to learn how to play guitar as well. As she grew older, she taught herself how to play more instruments, and write music.One late

Get Off The Bench Podcast ·

2023/12/21

Let’s slow down a little over this holiday break and consider the things and people we have around us to be grateful for. It’s a stressful time and people do and say some pretty ordinary things due to these conditions. We don’t have to push and shove and place huge expectations on each other. We can choose to slow down, reflect, and extend love and compassion to ourselves and those around us.

2023/11/09

In this episode, kindness is the focus. I always wonder why we need specific International Days for particular things, and wonder why we can’t be decent human beings every day of the year. Despite my personal thoughts, November 13th is International Kindness Day, and that should extend to self, others, animals and the planet. By the way, kindness has scientifically proven health benefits, so why wouldn’t be practise it?

In this episode I ponder the answer to the question “What question would you like to ask a time traveller from 200 years in the future?”. Firstly, I’d be surprised that humans still exist at that time! But I’d be curious about what solutions humans found to resolve problems. I’d also want to know what I could do better today to contribute to a better world in the future.

Kerryn Vaughan - Debunking overnight success

Get Off The Bench Podcast ·

2023/10/12

In this episode I chat about the myth that is overnight success. If we were to imagine success as an iceberg, on the top we would see all the accolades, awards, and maybe even what we imagine that person has regarding finances. But we don’t see the stuff beneath the surface that has to happen first. The sacrifice, the tears, the rejection, and so on. We often feel the need to criticise the success of others, but perhaps before we do, we should reframe our thoughts and admire them for their
