Tiger Therapy

Dr. Ellen Langer is a legend in the field of psychology. And a legend at Harvard University. She's the longest-serving professor of psychology at Harvard. She was also the first woman to ever be tenured in psychology at the university. Her 40+ year career has earned her the nicknames “the mother of mindfulness” and “the mother of positive psychology.”Until starting Tiger Therapy, I always thought self-doubt was an enemy to be vanquished. But Dr. Langer is another academic who has shared that self-doubt is important. In fact, she says, if you don't feel self-doubt, you might be being mindless. Research shows that most of us are mindless most of the time, but Dr. Langer believes that if we can work towards being more mindful it will help us tremendously in almost every facet of life. Her groundbreaking research has found that we can quite literally think ourselves younger, healthier and better - as well as totally changing our relationship with self-doubt. (By the way - mindfulness is NOT to be mistaken for mediation.)This episode is full of the most mind-blowing studies, experiments and stories that have the power to change how you think about how you think. Thank you Dr. Langer for coming on Tiger Therapy!______---- Taking a short (baby related!) break ----This is the last episode in Tiger Therapy Season 4. There have been 34 episodes so far with absolutely brilliant guests - I can't thank them enough for sharing their wisdom and stories about times where self-doubt and limiting beliefs got in the way. And thank you so much to everyone who's been listening along. I'm going on maternity leave, but Tiger Therapy will be back in early 2025. I can't wait!______Dr. Ellen Langer's latest book The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health. ______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Ellen Langer | @ellenjlanger Hosted on Acast.

How do you think you'd handle it if you failed at the one thing you're supposed to be best at, on live TV, with the whole world watching? Lindsey Jacobellis is the most successful female snowboarder of all time.She is a two-time Olympic Gold medalist, an Olympic Silver medalist, a 31x World Cup Gold Medalist and a 6x World Champion.Despite so much success, something happened in her early career that's followed her ever since - a split-second mistake made at her first ever Olympics when she was just 20 years old. This defining moment led to public ridicule, a media circus and even hate mail. It's something that (understandably) shook her confidence and left her full of self-doubt. She's had to actively fight to not let it define her. I'm so excited to have her on Tiger Therapy to share her story and share what she learned with you. Thank you Lindsey!_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall @Lindseyjacobellis Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Me: "Does anyone ever bother lying to you?"Chase Hughes: "You'd be surprised."I was genuinely so excited to speak to Chase Hughes, until about an hour before our interview when my excitement turned to nerves...I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I love the idea that someone can look at my face and know exactly what I'm thinking - which is precisely what Chase can do, being the no.1 behaviour and body language expert in the world. Chase is a neuroscientist, military veteran, bestselling author and star of YouTube's The Behaviour Panel (which if you haven't ever seen - I highly recommend). He used to train CIA operatives on how to negotiate, interrogate, and read people for extreme persuasion. He now teaches the same skills to business people. He will be the first to tell you that getting a handle on your own mind is key to doing this well. If you feel self-doubt, your confidence is shaky or if you feel fear - this will show on your face.Chase has spent over 20 years (and millions of US government money) to develop how best to train someone as quickly as possible how to master their mind and get over limiting beliefs - and he tells us how to do it in this episode of Tiger Therapy. His advice is extraordinary (and something people normally pay him thousands for).Thanks so much Chase for the fascinating conversation - I have a feeling this will be an episode I'll want to listen to again and again! _______Learn more about Chase via his website here._______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall @chasehughesofficial Hosted on Acast.

Very few people's lives are destined to be made into a movie… but I would put money on this real-life rags to riches story finding its way to Hollywood soon enough. From growing up in the slums in the Philippines… to Harvard, Wall Street, Microsoft and now the first female president of Utah Valley University, Astrid Tuminez has lived and worked all over the world, speaks multiple languages and is all in all an extraordinary person.She says “Nobody can stop you from dreaming about where you want to be, and what you want to do with your life.”In this week's episode Astrid and I discuss the power of the mind, magical thinking, overcoming self-doubt and feeling like an outsider. After our recording I decided she was probably the most impressive person I've ever spoken to. She's the epitome of if you can dream it, you can do it.

Have you ever come across someone's work and just thought ‘yes'!This is how I felt when I discovered Tara Mohr. When I started reading her work, I couldn't stop.Tara is an expert on women's leadership and wellbeing. She's the bestselling author of Playing Big - Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to Speak Up, Create, and Lead, named a "Best Book of the Year" by Apple's iBooks.It's the 10 year anniversary of Playing Big this year. Over the past 10 years she's gained a lot of fans, and has been featured in places like New York Times, Harvard Business Review and the Today Show.

I thought I knew a fair bit about imposter syndrome until I spoke to this week's guest, Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin.Lisa is a psychologist and imposter syndrome expert, with two bestselling books to her name (co-written with her husband, Dr. Richard Orbé-Austin). She earned her PhD in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University, she has contributed to academic journals with her research on imposter syndrome, and her views are regularly sought by the media - she has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, NBC News, and in outlets such as Forbes, Huffington Post and Business Insider.If you've ever thought to yourself “I'm not good enough”, “Don't mess up or everyone will think you suck” or ““Everything I've ever achieved was through luck,” then this conversation is for you.Lisa takes us through the research, debunks and clarifies common imposter syndrome myths, and (crucially!) explains how you can start getting past feeling this way.I LOVED this conversation - thanks so much Lisa for coming on Tiger Therapy!_______Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin's books:Own Your Greatness: Overcome Imposter Syndrome, Beat Self-Doubt, and Succeed in Life Your Unstoppable Greatness: Break Free from Imposter Syndrome, Cultivate Your Agency, and Achieve Your Ultimate Career Goals_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Dr. Lisa Orbé-Austin | @drorbeaustin Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever felt like you're trying to “keep it together” at work? Showing emotions in the office is often seen as taboo. It's “unprofessional.” But… sleep is the only thing we do in our lives more than work. Isn't it a shame that we spend so much of our lives pretending? 60% of people are emotionally detached at work. 19% of people are miserable. What gives?This week's Tiger Therapy guest is Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu, GM at Longchamp, and author of Emotional Inclusion: A Humanizing Revolution at Work. Mollie argues that ‘Emotional Inclusion' (a term she coined) is what's missing from our workplaces. If we focused more on being emotionally inclusive, she argues, it would have a transformative impact on employee wellness and productivity. Thank you Mollie for coming on Tiger Therapy!

“We are all stuck in a web. Every one of us is conditioned and caught up in a system that we cannot see.” I first learned about Elise in early 2020 when The Goop Lab came out on Netflix. There she was, side-by-side with Gwyneth Paltrow, discussing innovative health experiments they would all be trying as part of the show. I remember thinking “Chief Content Officer at Goop… what a cool job.” Fast forward and I've now been following Elise for a few years, I've seen her transition from Goop to being an incredible podcaster and author - FIVE of her books have been New York Times bestsellers.So now I think she has an even cooler job.Her latest book - ‘On Our Best Behavior: The Price Women Pay to Be Good', an analysis of how history and culture have shaped how women see themselves, was an instant NYT bestseller. As Tiger Therapy is all about the ways we hold ourselves back - through self-doubt and limiting beliefs, so much of the book struck a chord. When you listen you'll understand why. By the way, this conversation isn't just for women. I truly encourage everyone to listen as it will really make you think about how our upbringing and society systems condition us all. Thank you so much Elise for coming on Tiger Therapy. _______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Elise Loehnen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A good friend of mine has worked in a particular sector for most of her career. From the outside she's one of those people who's life looks perfect. But more recently over a series of honest talks, she's confided in me that she hates her job. Has done for years. Naturally I've asked, “why don't you do something else?” She explained that there were a couple of big things keeping her stuck. Firstly, she doesn't know what she wants to do instead. (Kind of a problem).The other big thing is that she's overwhelmed with self-doubt at the idea of making a big change. She's been doing what she's been doing for so long, that at least she knows she's good at it. It feels terrifying to walk away from.This week on Tiger Therapy, I'm speaking to world authority on career transitions, who has been named one of the most influential business thinkers in the world.Herminia Ibarra is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School. She also spent years teaching at INSEAD and Harvard Business School. Her career has been spent researching leadership, women's advancement, and career transitions. Her latest book Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, explores why so many people get stuck, why career-pivots feel so hard, and what to do about it.If you've ever dreamed of starting again - this one's for you.

Kute Blackson says he can read your mind just by looking at your life. Our beliefs, he says, become our reality. If you're intrigued by the power of the mind, the law of attraction, manifesting, transformational coaching and want to learn how to break free from conditioning, then I'm excited for you to tune in for this conversation with Kute, the transformational teacher that Inc.

If you knew what to say and how to act in every scenario - how would this make a difference to how confident you feel?If you knew you could always make a good first impression, would you doubt yourself less, would you feel braver to put yourself out there and try new things?

“It's how we respond to change that separates winners from losers.”Jim Keyes' ability to adapt to change is what's seen him through not one, but two Fortune 500 CEO tenures - the first at 7-Eleven, where he successfully restructured and led the company to be the behemoth it is today. The second, at Blockbuster, which… well…. we all think we know what happened here, right? He's now authored a book "Education is Freedom" where he delves into the power of building knowledge and lifelong learning, and how this serves us as individuals but also a society as a whole. In this episode of Tiger Therapy, we cover: Why the Blockbuster story we think we know isn't what really happened What growing up in poverty taught James about the power of mindset The advice James would have given himself as a 20 year old Jim's trick for avoiding self-doubt and imposter syndrome How knowledge is everything - and especially crucial in times of change, crisis and fearThank you SO MUCH Jim for coming on Tiger Therapy, I loved our conversation and resonate so much with what you say!_______Education is Freedom is out now, order here.

For many of us, annual leave is the highlight of our year - the chance to get away from our normal lives and escape to somewhere new and exciting. Ash Bhardwaj has managed to make getting away his career.

Until recently, Rob Pierre was CEO of Jellyfish, the major digital media agency he co-founded over 18 years ago - a role which made him one of the UK's most successful media leaders. In 2021 he was voted Media Week's Media Leader of the Year to recognise his achievements. Now, having stepped down, we reflect on life without the CEO title, leadership, confidence and his tool for avoiding self doubt. If you've listened to Tiger Therapy before, you'll know that at the end of each episode, I ask guests to nominate something they think is brilliant to come on the podcast. Joanna Flint, Chief Commercial Officer at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, suggested Rob. Here's what she said about him: “What I love about Rob is his storytelling, his authenticity and his belief. He's a really interesting individual with a global perspective to talk about how to build an incredibly successful business through grit, determination, and being a really good man.”We couldn't agree more.

We're back for Season 3 of Tiger Therapy!!! I am beyond excited for the conversations and speakers we're bringing to you over the next few weeks.______How does a psychotherapist handle grief, anxiety and self doubt? After a series of family tragedies, psychotherapist Amy Morin started studying what it is that makes someone mentally strong. She turned this research into blog post entitled '13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do,' which she expected only a handful of people would read.Much to her surprise, it went viral (as in, 50 million people viral!)This set Amy down the path of bestselling author and worldwide authority on mental strength. She's since sold over a million copies of her books, and they've been translated into 40 languages.In this conversation Amy and I (naturally) discussed mental strength, and of course I wanted to get her expert psychotherapist take on self doubt, limiting beliefs, and her advice for all of us. I found this conversation incredibly useful and Amy shared some brilliant tools to try - thank you so much Amy for coming on Tiger Therapy!_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Amy Morin Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever made your boss cry?I can now add this to my list of (questionable) accomplishments…Here is a very special BONUS episode of Tiger Therapy - featuring Tigerhall CEO Nellie Wartoft!In this conversation we cover - Actionable steps for finding intrinsic self confidence;Nellie's analysis on what's holding people back in life;Why self doubt is so prevalent and can be so damaging - and what needs to change; Nellie's story of doing everything everyone told her NOT to do;Why our education leads to toxic workplaces; Being mistreated as a woman in tech (Nellie's experience is not what you think)Why too many CEO's have the wrong priorities; There's also a brilliant pep talk from Nellie at the end, that I have a feeling I'll be listening to on repeat; …And a whole lot more!Thanks so much Chief Tiger for letting me ask you all my nosy questions. (Also, it's usually me crying in front of you, so I'm glad to even out the scales a little.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A story about this episode - months ago, when I first explained the concept of Tiger Therapy to Tigerhall CEO Nellie Wartoft, almost the first thing out her mouth was “you have to speak to Rick Harshman.”Originally from the US, Richard “Rick” Harshman has had a string of major leadership roles in tech across Asia Pacific and Japan. Most recently he was President and SVP at UiPath, prior to this, MD at Google Cloud and Head of ASEAN at Amazon Web Services (AWS).What struck me about this, is I would never have picked someone with his profile for a conversation about self doubt. (Putting my hand up here to own my bias.) Nellie knew something I didn't - that Rick is incredibly reflective, self aware and has a very nuanced and considered attitude to self doubt.We cover family, culture, burnout, imposter syndrome, leadership during Covid - and much more. Thanks so much Rick for coming on Tiger Therapy. I loved our conversation!_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Richard Harshman Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever had an ice bath, then it's probably because Wim Hof has turned them from something niche into a global phenomenon. Not only does Wim regularly submerge himself in icy water, he ran an half marathon above the arctic circle barefoot, scaled Mount Everest in a pair of shorts, ran across the Namibian desert without any water. He in fact holds 26 world records - each sounding more superhuman than the last. “Doing these things has earned me the nickname ‘the iceman' but I am no superhero.” he says. “I am no genetic freak. I'm not a guru. I do not mention my accomplishments to boast, but as a reminder that there is so much more we are capable of.” In this episode of Tiger Therapy, Wim explains how he is just as prone as anyone to self doubt and limiting beliefs, but he's learned tools to master his body and his mind - tools that anyone can learn.I LOVED this conversation with Wim - I found him so charming and full of life, and I was genuinely touched by how he really cares about helping people.

When Nick Gray first moved to New York City he went to a bunch of networking events, failed to make meaningful connections, and always left feeling like a loser. Eventually realising he was not the problem - it was the events, he decided to start hosting his own. This led him to writing his book ‘The Two Hour Cocktail Party', and now helps people around the world take networking into their own hands. In this episode of Tiger Therapy, we discuss how to host the ultimate networking party, how to get past feeling “cringe” when promoting your brand on social media, and Nick's entrepreneur journey - prior to The Two Hour Cocktail Party he built and sold 2 multi-million dollar companies, including Museum Hack, that was listed as one of Inc. 5000's fastest growing companies in America.Thanks Nick for coming on Tiger Therapy!_______Resources from Nick:How to Host an Event: Parties & NetworkingWhere to Throw a Party?

I don't know about you, but whenever I've tried something new in life and it hasn't gone well, the little voice inside my head that whispers “you're not good enough” gets much louder. Failure can be painful and can be an incredibly strong fuel to our self-doubt.I am BEYOND excited to introduce this weeks Tiger Therapy episode with Amy Edmondson!!!Amy Edmondson is very modest, so allow me to blow her trumpet for her - she is a ROCKSTAR in academic circles. She is Professor of Leadership and Management at Harvard Business School, Thinkers50 #1 Ranked Thinker in the World and an award winning author. 'Psychological safety' - the term she coined in the 90's is what truly put her name on the map. This term has become widely used in discussions about company culture and good leadership. In her Tiger Therapy episode, Amy talks about her new book ‘Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well, where she outlines her research into failure. Spoiler: the popular Silicon Valley-style narrative of the benefits of failure isn't quite right.She also opens up about how her own failures caused her profound self doubt and made her question everything.Thank you Amy for the brilliant conversation!_______Social media: Pippa Woodhead | @pippa.woodheadTigerhall Amy Edmondson Hosted on Acast.

We're back with Season 2 of Tiger Therapy!!!What's it like growing up in one of the most famous families in the world? How does this shape your sense of self worth, and the pressure you put on yourself to have an extraordinary career?I'm beyond excited to be kicking off S2 with a conversation with the amazing Dr. Timothy Shriver, disability rights activist and Chairman of Special Olympics. You may well already know who Tim is - he's a disability rights activist, and Chairman of Special Olympics. Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.And if you recognise the name “Shriver” beyond Tim - then that may well be because of Tim's family. While nobody wants to be defined by one's relatives, it's fair to say his family have shaped the world as we know it today - and have also shaped Tim's life work.His mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founded Special Olympics, and also happened to be sister to former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. His father Sargent Shriver, founded the Peace Corps. I'm so grateful to Tim for opening up with me and sharing what he's learned about self doubt, why the comparison game is dangerous, and the life lessons and unexpected meaning he's found from working with those with intellectual disabilities._______Social media: @pippa.woodhead@tigerhall@timothyshriver@specialolympics Hosted on Acast.

While most of us are focusing on making one career work, this weeks episode is with someone who has totally dominated two completely different industries.When Lesley Paterson, 5x World Champion professional triathlete retired from sports, she was asked “What's next?” She replied she was moving around the world from Scotland to Los Angeles to write a screenplay and win an Oscar.If anyone doubted her, they might have felt justified as the years went by. It took 16 years for Lesley's screenplay, an adaptation of “All Quiet on the Western Front"; to get made - it was eventually picked up by Netflix. Lesley not only succeeded in her goal to win an Oscar, she won four. And seven Bafta's too. What an extraordinary story of the power of perseverance and believing in yourself.Lesley also has an amazing technique to overcome self doubt - which I'll defiantly be trying!_____Social media:@pippa.woodheadTigerhall@lesleydoestri Hosted on Acast.

“When I was growing up, I was heavily influenced by my circumstances at the time. I didn't come from a rich family. I didn't feel smart. I had never seen a woman do the things I do now.”Aisha Bowe's growth story is nothing short of extraordinary. From believing she was “dumb” and bad at math whilst at school, an inspirational teacher changed the course of her life, leading her to study aerospace engineering - ultimately landing her at NASA as a bona fide rocket scientist. After NASA, she founded STEMBoard— recognized by Inc.5000 as one of the fastest-growing companies in America. Not bad for someone who regularly suffers from self doubt and imposter syndrome.Thank you Aisha for coming on Tiger Therapy - we're so inspired by you!_____Social media:Social media:@pippa.woodhead@tigerhall@aishabowe Hosted on Acast.

Do you ever doubt yourself or lack confidence? If so, you're definitely going to want to listen to this - it might just change your mind about everything. Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, is an organizational psychologist who studies (among other things) confidence. Where he's different from a lot of literature you may have read on the topic, is he isn't trying to increase our confidence - rather, the opposite. If you want to listen to something who will make you feel your lack of confidence is a secret superpower - this is for you!Tomas has also written several books - the two most relevant for this topic are 'Confidence: How Much You Really Need and How to Get It' and 'Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders.' His latest book, 'I, Human: AI, Automation, and the Quest to Reclaim What Makes Us Unique', is out now._____Social media:@pippa.woodhead@tigerhall@drtomaschamorro Hosted on Acast.
