The Parenting Podcast: Growing and Learning Together

Leadership: How to have that tricky conversation as a manager

I see very good practitioners, in any field, not just education being promoted to management positions and then quickly falling flat on their face! The all singing, all dancing management position you've wanted for so long is all very well, but what training have you had to actually deal with the people? Especially when the going gets tough?!  In this episode, I share with you how to navigate those tough conversations, the ones that make you go weak at the knees, the one where your mouth goes dry and you just want to run a mile!  Dealing with potential conflict or confrontation is a real challenge and none of us want to feel out of control, under pressure and experience feelings of failure. I'll help you feel a little more confident and resilient and show you a few tips and tricks on how to handle these situations.  Your team will thank you for it and you will feel so much better.  If you find this episode helpful, please kindly give this podcast a review and tell friends and family so we can help more parents feel good about parenting.

Leadership: The Know, Like and Trust Factor

I love this topic!  If you are someone who has just started in a leadership role, leading and managing people is absolutely key to the success of your nursery.  When your team know you, when they like you, and when they trust you....you're in!  This takes time and when it happens, it is utterly beautiful, the team are in flow, parents are happy and children thrive.  In this episode I love getting into the nitty gritty of what I mean about Know, Like and Trust and I hope it helps you to make long lasting relationships with your team.  If you find this episode helpful, please kindly give this podcast a review and tell friends and family so we can help more parents feel good about parenting.

Leadership: Leading your team as if you are The Captain of Your Ship

In this episode I share with you 3 of my top skills you can learn to be a great leader.  Being Captain of your Ship is a game changer with no need for authoritarian, top down management (I can't even call that leadership!). It just doesn't work, people don't want that in the way they work any more.  Being with your team, knowing your role, knowing that you are there as their safe harbour and anchor should they need you is a delight in leadership.  And wait for the bit about how it feels when your team start working for you - such a sweet spot and you know you're doing well as a leader when you get to this point.  Enjoy and if you'd like to find out how we can work together to learn these skills, you know where to find me.  If you find this episode helpful, please kindly give this podcast a review and tell friends and family so we can help more parents feel good about parenting.

Leadership: The Gift of Time

In this episode, I hope I can give you some inspiration to understand that giving yourself the gift of TIME is so essential, whether you're a Nursery Manager, Nursery Owner (any leader in fact) or a parent.  You cannot give 100% of your energy, focus and give it your full attention, if you don't make time for yourself first. You cannot lead a team or a family on 40% for very long that's for sure, without the B word happening, and we do not want to be burnt out (sorry, said it). No-one benefits from you then! Give your team more time, give your family more time by giving yourself more time first.  I cannot recommend it enough.  If you find this episode helpful, please kindly give this podcast a review and tell friends and family so we can help more parents feel good about parenting.

Helping your child deal with disappointment and rejection

These big emotions  and feelings are horrendous to deal with don't you think?   They come to all of us through out our lives and being emotional intelligent is absolute key when it comes to navigate, manage and move through them, without allowing them to take over.  It's such a good idea to teach our children about these big emotions from an early age. In this episode, I share how I supported a mum through a time when her child came out of school disappointed, and rather than just dismissing and glazing over how he felt, how it is better to feel into that with him, teach him how to articulate the feelings he is experiencing and  share ways in which he can accept and manage them.  It was pretty powerful.  I hope it helps and you enjoy my thoughts.  If you find this episode helpful, please kindly give this podcast a review and tell friends and family so we can help more parents feel good about parenting.
