    We are beginning this year with a bang! diving straight head-on with insightful and provocative sessions with our Thought Leaders! We are starting off with our first session with Anna Caplice - International Rugby Player. Anna is currently a back-row player for Harlequins in the UK but also plays for the Irish national team. Anna has 14 caps for Ireland and hopefully has many more to come. Juggling her time between playing rugby and teaching, Anna is a leader in women's rugby. In this session, we discussed building mental resilience and overcoming challenges, which is more pertinent now more than ever. As an athlete, Anna has had to overcome mental and physical challenges and still manages to come out on top. Besides topics surrounding mental resilience, we also hope to just talked about the women's rugby game in general and female athleticism. Session hosted and moderated by Hannah Sheehy.

    Some of you guys know that in the last two years I have started to explore a journey in meditation. This was initiated by a meeting with Fr Laurence Freeman.   Fr Laurence's non-denominational approach to meditation has garnered him many admirers particularly within the financial community. He has promoted the concept of contemplative leadership in business. In fact he has designed a programme on meditation which is thought on the MBA course at Georgetown University.   I was very grateful that when I asked Fr Laurence to do a webinar, he agreed.    The session went off brilliantly and the Video version - which includes a meditation practice can be found at    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDQg1NVUmbI&list=PL5uP_RVj9F9VRFcnXdrEYiXc0aYCkb2Gg   Please share with whoever you may think would find this interesting and please subscribe to our YouTube channel

    Learnings - My Reflection on Jake's Life Hacks

    Play Episode Listen Later May 7, 2020 3:42


    Guys This is a very short catch up podcast. I just wanted to share with you some things I learnt over the last 2 weeks working with Jake Aliker.  I wanted to share my personal favourite take aways and life hacks. First and foremost ‘there is NO substitute for work and preparation' Whether you have prepared or not, there are some things you can do last minute to boost your performance before a meeting, exam or even a dinner party. 1) 40 mins hard exercise 1hr before you are ‘on' helps recall 2) A shot of expresso followed by 20min nap/meditation makes u sharp - the coffee will jolt you at the 20 min mark 3) 5 mins Box Breathing reduces anxiety and makes u sharp - better than the cold shower alternative On a ‘self' level we all have an inner voice, an ego, which was formed when we were 7-9 years old. It talks to us and persuaded us to act in ‘less mature ways', identify this voice and reduce its power. Make it speak in different ways. It will give you back control. This is only 10pc of what I learnt from Jake. It's what I took from our discussions. But there are many more. I can (and have) act on the above personally and has been a revelation. I am looking to make incremental changes and the above are easy to adopt. I recommend to listen to the previous podcasts with Jake and Box Breathing and watch the recording of our live webinar at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoa0R4_cCWs&t=142s Keep an eye out for our upcoming courses with Jake by signing up for our news letter at www.innerleadership.global or email me at podcast@innerleadership.global

    Inner Leadership is a joint project initiated by two people: Kathy Lim Sheehy and Chade-Meng Tan, with the vision of bringing mindfulness and meditation to modern leaders in Asia. ‍ Through open dialogues, presentations and conversations about mindfulness and meditation, we hope to cultivate enlightened leaders who perceive leadership in terms of other people rather than themselves, encouraging them to focus on their responsibility to others rather than on exercising personal power, and enriching their work and relationships in the process. A core way we hope to do so is by educating people about “selfless attention”, which enables one to focus on others rather than one's own ego, and allows for a clearer perception of the world around oneself. This summit marks the beginning of our journey to bring mindfulness to leaders all across Asia. We've invited thought leaders such as Barry Kerzin, Barbara Fredrickson, Daniel Cordaro, Ng Kok Song, and Greg and Crystal Lim-Lange to share their personal journeys in relation to mindfulness, and the philosophies that make them effective in their work and everyday lives.
