“Sustainability” has been a corporate buzzword for years. But corporations that embrace sustainability and make positive, lasting impacts on our world need sustainable leaders. With a critical eye on organizations to contribute to sustainability goals going forward, being a sustainable leader is no longer a trendy social media strategy-it's a must. In this episode of Wired to Win, Fernanda tells us everything we need to know about the future of leadership and teaches us how to embrace sustainability to improve our organizations, communities and lives.For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcastMasterclassWatch our free masterclass Websitehttps://rewiredglobal.comSocialL...

We've been told all our lives to follow our passions. But what if that was the wrong advice? In this episode of Wired to Win, Fernanda proposes an alternative: purpose. Purposeful, sustainable leaders derive meaning and fulfillment from living their core values instead of chasing passion. Purposeful leaders experience effective results that benefit not only their organizations and careers, but their happiness. By identifying our core values, we can uncover purpose that shapes our lives, decisions, and impacts. And by using the power of neuroplasticity, we can change and shape our core beliefs to curate the life we want. For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcast Watch our free masterclass: https://go.rewiredglobal.com/masterclass Visit our website: https://rewiredglobal.com/

Anyone in the top levels of a corporation has experienced their share of development opportunities: trainings, continuing education, corporate universities, online cohorts- you name it, we've seen it. In fact, the leadership development industry is a multi-billion-dollar-a-year machine. Why, then, are the returns on such development efforts so minimal? Allow me to introduce you to the leadership gap. In this episode of Wired to Win, I'll tell you exactly why most development efforts fail, what needs to change, and how to get started.For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcastWatch our free masterclass: https://rewiredg.com/watchVisit our website: https://rewiredglobal.com/Connect on Linkedin: https://rewiredg.com/linkedinConnect on Instagram: https://rewiredg.com/instagram

How much unseen work do you do entirely in your mind each day? At the intersection of emotional and cognitive labor is the mental load, an invisible effort that women carry the brunt of.

It's lonely at the top. But does it have to be? In this week's episode, Fernanda looks at loneliness in the C-suite.

In this episode of the Wired to Win podcast, Fernanda teaches listeners how to shave ten hours off their work week.

We've talked about burnout before, but on this episode of the Wired to Win podcast, Fernanda digs deeper into why burnout affects one group of workers in particular. Often stereotyped as lazy and entitled, millennials are the first generation in modern history to be worse off than their parents. Millennials have been dealt a challenging hand-economic instability, a housing crisis, education debt, and the disappearance of perks like pensions. These hardships, combined with other emotional factors, have placed millennials in a prime position for burnout. But does it have to be that way?For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcastWatch our free masterclass: https://rewiredg.com/watchVisit our website: https://rewiredglobal.com/Connect on Linkedin: https://rewiredg.com/linkedinConnect on Instagram: https://rewiredg.com/instagram

Women in the C-suite and other top-level positions hear the phrase “having it all” frequently. But what does “having it all” mean? And do we really want to have it all? In this episode, Fernanda breaks down the history of this cliché and examines its unique ties to feminism. She also tells us why “having it all” is false and teaches us how to change our brains to reclaim our “all.”For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcastWatch our free masterclass: https://rewiredg.com/watchVisit our website: https://rewiredglobal.com/Connect on Linkedin: https://rewiredg.com/linkedinConnect on Instagram: https://rewiredg.com/instagram

Today we're diving into the idea of work-life balance. Being an Executive, a c-suite professional evokes images of corner offices, multiple-digit salaries and big responsibilities. It also implies the ability to work under pressure and to perform constantly, especially when the stakes are high you're expected to deliver better results year after year, beating the competition while managing huge uncertainty and risk. This is the life of any entrepreneur too. There's no rest or “getting a break” for someone at this level.The question is, HOW do we CHANGE the way we work and lead ourselves and others so that we can reach our goals without sacrifice?For more information and show notes, go to:https://rewiredglobal.com/podcastWatch our free masterclass: https://rewiredg.com/watchVisit our website: https://rewiredglobal.com/Connect on Linkedin: https://rewiredg.com/linkedinConnect on Instagram: https://rewiredg.com/instagram

In this episode, we are exploring the sacrifices of the executive woman. You are probably familiar with that feeling of “something's got to give” that forces you to make difficult sacrifices in the name of career success. You've probably also had moments where you questioned your path and wondered if it's all worth it. You're not alone, and I'm here to teach you a new way to thrive without making those sacrifices. Yes, it is possible to have it all!

#027 - Today, we are talking about how to prevent burnout at work, the real cause of burnout and how to prevent it at work and in your life.  Burnout is something avoidable and no, it's not about working less or decreasing your workload…and NO, it's not about having more work-life balance.  In this episode, you will learn how to prevent burnout at work. My goal is for you to understand why you always have a choice, you get to choose if you want a life of flow and freedom or if you want to stay stuck and frustrated in burnout and feeling overwhelmed.

#026 - In today's episode, we are talking about how to stop settling for less in your career, workplace, and your life. There is a huge cost of settling for less. With the professional women that we work with, we go deep into how they are being in the world, and why thinking the way they do and understanding the world in a certain way, creates the same patterns and outcomes year in and year out…which results in them feeling frustrated, stuck and like they are living beneath their potential. If you are a high achiever, knowing you have more capacity and living beneath your potential is the worst thing, but unless you change, nothing in your life will change. In this episode, you will learn how to stop settling for less. My goal is for you to understand why you always have a choice. You always get to decide if you want to go after your dreams or to settle. You get to decide if you want to live in victimhood or to create a new way of living and leading.

#025 - In today's episode, we're talking about how great leaders have difficult conversations. I want to continue the discussion around racism, privilege, and adding the layer of having hard conversations, especially as a leader. This is the thing, in order to be heard, in order to get through to another person, we MUST be able to communicate effectively in such a way that the other person, or group of people, can hear what it is that we have to say and, by doing so change their own beliefs around something. When we disagree, the only way to bridge that gap is by understanding and learning how to communicate effectively. If you have felt confused or lost not knowing what to say or do, now is the time to be rigorous with your own bias, your own false assumptions, your own limitations, now is the time to learn how great leaders have difficult conversations.

#024 - In today's episode, I dive deep into why we must speak up as leaders. This episode was hard to create. I'm not gonna lie to you, the honest truth is that I've been at a loss for words. Just like most people around the world, I've been utterly devastated by the murder of George Floyd. I've also been painfully aware of the fact that I'm a white privileged woman, hyper-educated, and immensely biased due to my own mental constructs trying to speak about racism and privilege without sounding like a total tool. I firmly do believe that my role is not to lead this discussion in any way or to see myself as a spokesperson for people of color. So what I've been struggling with is to find a way of contributing to a discussion that matters without taking away from those who need to be heard. My goal is for you to understand why we must speak up as leaders, I want to invite you to step up your game as a leader, as a professional, as an entrepreneur or as someone with a voice of reason, demanding action and accountability and using the power you hold to.

#023 - Today's episode is part 2 of a 2 part series where I talk about what successful leaders do differently and why it's crucial to understand how the two archetypes of LEADERSHIP work.

#022 - Today's episode is part 1 of a 2 part series on the two archetypes of LEADERSHIP, and I dive deep into what successful leaders do differently. I share the metaphor of the dog mind and the lion mind. I first heard about the concept of the dog mind and the lion mind from the Mind Body Awareness Project. This metaphor is incredibly powerful because it shows you that you can have two states of mind, two states of consciousness. This metaphor hit me hard. Mainly because I identified strongly with the dog mind. Even though I was highly successful working in the financial markets, managing a billion-dollar portfolio, I realized that I had been ruled by my dog mind most of my life. The dog mind and the lion mind represent the journey from unconscious to conscious. In this episode, you will finally understand the mindset difference between the dog mind and the lion mind and what successful leaders do differently.

#021 - Today, I don't want to talk about the economy or how to recession-proof your business or your career but I want to talk about, what I believe is the most important thing to recession-proof.

My goal is for you to understand that you need to make your mindset and mental game a priority and that now more than ever, you must learn how to recession-proof your mindset.

#020 - In today's episode, I talk about why choosing who you want to become in the face of adversity is so important.

I believe, firmly that we're always being leaders, we're either leading ourselves or we are leading people around us. This is not business as usual and that's why it's so important that you understanding why leadership in the face of crisis not only will define our future but will also define who you are as a person.

This is an episode you will not want to miss if you are truly open to grow and want to have a better understanding of why you feel stuck and why you can't achieve what you set out to do.

We are going to dive deep into why it's not possible to create lasting change by avoiding the problem that triggers you.

#014 - Today I am speaking about how to stop feeling powerless and become the hero of your own life. Do you ever feel powerless or out of control in certain situations and you just feel like giving up? In this episode, you will learn how to rise from victimhood and step into the hero so you can take full responsibility for your life. I love this quote from Steve Chandler, he writes: ”Victims and pessimists hate to be fixed, hate to be corrected, and even hate to be taught things. Because their whole position is defensive”. This quote describes the core of victimhood. Victims are always defensive and arguing for their limitations. They are operating from a place of defensiveness and justifying why they are, not where they want to be. I believe that every single one of us wants to be our own HERO.

#009 - In today's episode, we are talking about why planning is not the key to your success and I will share why I don't believe in planning. With planning I mean the kind of planning that is all perfectly laid out, with steps and action items and that supposedly will lead you to an outcome. I know all goal-setting experts and authorities tell you, you have to PLAN. Fail to plan, plan to fail - or whatever it is they say. Right? You don't only need a strategy, but you also need a planner to plot down your plan. I know you're a high achiever and you have bigger things you want to create and accomplish. You have dreams you only have and the truth is that Planning is not what will get you to your dream, to your goal to your ultimate vision. Once you understand why planning is not the key to your success, you will be open to seeing opportunities every day.

It turns out that we don't only carry a lot of thoughts around our identity, but we also, by having a certain identity, we also have a certain level of standards. Sometimes we are not very aware of what we stand for, sometimes we are super clear about it…regardless it's a reflection of our identity.

#006 - Today we are having a conversation about why having it your way is the problem. The goal of this episode is for you to see that there are no problems. Let me say that again, you don't have a problem, but that you actually ARE the problem. You see wanting life to be a specific way or wanting a person to behave a certain way is the real problem. What if it is YOU, the state of mind that you're operating from, that is the cause of every problem in your life?
