Academic Authenticity with Anna

Allow yourself a do-over with regard to a recent situation that left you feeling dissatisfied or deregulated. Can you become curious towards this situation? Allow yourself to learn and grow via do-overs. Support yourself in being here and real, and to free up to show up with grace, confidence and joy.

In passing the fear zone to get to the growth zone, you may bump into the Subjective Overachiever… This episode will help raise your awareness to this particular kind of self-defeating dynamics.

Under stress, you may regress to the Defensive Pessimist. Get interested in this character. Do not ignore it, but turn towards non-judgmentally. Listen to this episode.

Reaching our highest potential requires raising our awareness to our special blend of self-defeating dynamics. After all: stepping into the growth zone (learning) requires passing the fear zone (unproductive convictions). Freeing up does not mean getting rid of these unfortunate behaviors, however. Quite the contrary. It involves recognizing, integrating and transforming them. Find out which of the Big Five you know intimately yourself, and start attending to them skillfully!

Are you wearing a fitting jacket to work? Or are you still in student-mode: taking exams rather than being in an adventurous, exploraritive mode? If you'd love some pointers in showing up unapologetic and non-judgmental: this episode is for you.

Freeing up is all about having choice, seeing options, knowing how to respond instead of react. Why would you want to look at your shadow in the process? Find out… and free up and get access to your unclaimed valuables and.. er… okay… your enexamined shame as well. Still: ‘we can find the best in us in what is bad in us.' Listen to this!

Stopping something that is not working is not always easy. Especially in collaborating. Knowing how to relate to unfinished business is a game changer. Enhancing a relaxed “life position”, that's what it is about. Listen and level up with me!

If you knew what perfectionism is in its core, you would never allow the Perfectionist behind your steering wheel during your creative processes of thinking and writing... And, no worries: we all have our specific preferences in self-defeating dynamics. Is this one your favorites? Listen and find out why you'll think twice next time you'd like to get it all done perfectly...

Are you in... academia, or of... academia? Listen to this, find out why the distinction is important, and help create brave learning environments by helping yourself first. This time I am inviting you to become brutally honest about your daily behavior. What is your ‘Second Quadrant Stuff', and how are you attending to it?

Take some time to slow down and dismiss yourself from your daily life in order to attend to whatever needs you to be in deep thinking and deep writing mode.

Get in touch with yourself. Non-judgmentally check-in with yourself. Take note of your body, feelings and needs. A wonderful manner of becoming emotionally literate.

With this episode you are invited to allow for the idea that you may be caging yourself with convictions... If you're totally honest with yourself, what is it that is keeping you out of flow? What is keeping you from following exactly that which brings you pleasure in your academic roles? Contraintuitively, you're not requested to step out of your cage as quickly as possible. Quite the opposite actually. In order to become articulate about your personal Terms & Conditions for optimal working conditions, let's start with what is keeping you from getting real about them up til now. Listen to this episode and let's figure out how to start working from your sweetspot, step by step.

What is the higher aim of investing in personal development as academic? Well... it's about moving beyond your ready-aim-shoot mode, and transitioning to a more relaxed observe... choose... act... mode. It's about slowing down to the extent that you'll raise your awareness to the idiosyncratic manner in which you sabotage yourself. Is that ‘fun, yet profound'? Listen, and find out for yourself.
