Episode 19: Why breaking free of stress & struggle is a powerful act of leadership

Episode 21: Dealing with uncertainty

Uncertainty is increasing. Rapid changes at various levels in the big picture have an impact on our daily lives, our systems, organisations, teams and and individuals also in the workplace. This episode looks into why it is becoming more important to deal with uncertainty and difficult situations at work, what we can do about it and how we can nourish trust, confidence and agency within ourselves and others. As usual I give examples from my own experience of working in European policy and cooperation in Brussels and with universities across Europe as leadership and team coach, moderator, facilitator and EU policy and foresight professional. If you wish to strengthen your inner leadership to better deal with uncertainty in a professional context, have a look at my 1-1 coaching "Leading from within".

You can also book me as facilitator for your strategy workshop with your university or association board or leadership team, or as speaker for your event on leadership and foresight in the context of European cooperation, higher education, research and universities.

Episode 20: The importance of the space in between

In this episode I share why I believe it is important to give ourselves some space in between two things, two jobs, two projects, two activities, two meetings, or simply the time to take a conscious breath before moving forward. I share my own recent experience with consciously taking a step back from a routine that I had developed in my work, when I noticed that it doesn't fit my current business phase anymore. I also explain how cultivating that space in between can help you in developing your own inner leadership and put you back into the driving seat of choice and decision-making, rather than being driven by external developments. If you are curious to explore the relational space in between you and a current professional challenge you are phasing and see how you can use this to develop your capacity to lead from within, have a look at my three months 1-1 coaching "Leading from within" [https://www.co-insight-coaching.com/copy-of-what-i-offer/] #innerleadership #professionaldevelopment #leadingfromwithin #selfleadership #trust #intuition
