Find Your Tribe with Tanya Abbey

Season 1 - That's a Wrap

Season 1......It's a wrap! 30 episodes talking Life, Love and Leadership with our amazing guests.  In this episode I share what I've learnt along the way. There's been lots, too many to share here but these are just some of the highlights.  Firstly, LIFE.... - The power of mental strength and perseverance with Ben Cox (epo 17) and his amazing personal story which resonated with so many listeners.  - Our conditioning and the choice to strip back who you are and unlearn the labels you've given to yourself - Anoushka Dowling (epo 19)  Next,  LOVE...  This season I set out to find my Big Love. It didn't happen but I've had plenty of first dates, a classic 3 month situationship and plenty in-between. I may not have found my Big Love but I've discovered loads about myself and what I'm looking for (and what I'm not!)  Some words of advice from my guests.... - Be yourself and find someone who matches your energy - Beck Davis (epo 8) This one might be a little tough for me to do, Beck!  - If someone doesn't love you for who you are, every single last bit of you, they're not for you - Meagan King (epo 26)  - Be clear about what you want and don't compromise - Tara Lucke (epo 12) Finally, LEADERSHIP  - Recruit based on cultural fit and alignment - look for passion - Caralee Fontenele (epo 2)  - Lead through compassionate conversations that start with empathic listening - Travis Schultz (epo 4)  - Find your tribe and the power of surrounding yourself with inspiring, supportive allies - Tanya Abby (epo 28)  - Let's bring sexy back to the law by inspiring our people, turning them on with purpose and giving them the space they need to do their best work - Lauren Dare (epo 6)  A huge thank you to all my guests this season and I'll be back in your ears for season 2 very soon.  Happy listening and THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY Midja x ...........

The Honeymoon Period

We all know that feeling when you first meet someone, that new relationship feeling, the honeymoon period, limerence. This honeymoon stage of course happens in our love lives, but it also happens in our professional relationships. So often I talk to leaders who fail to set up expectations with new team members, don't give the necessary feedback, and overlook behavioural or performance issues. In this episode I share my tops tips on how to navigate the honeymoon period to set up the relationship for success. Happy listening and THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY Midja x .................
