Podcasts about bkindred

Today's guest came into my world towards the end of last year when I was blessed to meet her at The Singularity U conference in Sydney. Her name is Penny Locaso and when we started working together - I knew that the right person had entered my life at exactly the right time.At that time, on a personal level I was working around the clock and I was struggling to balance the long list of priorities that came with being an entrepreneur, along with being a relatively new mum, a fionsai, daughter and friend. In many ways I had never been more ‘successful’ in the traditional sense of the world - but in other ways I was tired and feeling pretty overwhelmed.I want to use a galloping horse here as a metaphor. Let's call this galloping horse quote unquote ‘busy’. While dismounting from a standing horse is easy getting off a galloping one feels dangerous and scary. It is a landing that is undeniably going to hurt. Sometimes it feels easier just to hang on for dear life….but that choice is stressful. I know that feeling! And while I leave you pondering the galloping horse - lets add some context. I am on the galloping horse and covid 19 hits. It's a crisis yes - but it is also the one thing that makes that horse come to a halt. Finally I can get off the horse.I use this busy horse metaphor today because if you are like me….you may not want to get back on that galloping horse without any breaks. And definitely not with the same speed or in the same way.For me - I want to use this time to adapt and to build the foundations of what happiness is in my world and then I will be ready to ride again. But this time on a horse where I feel safe. This is the exact reason why I knew Penny Locaso was the person I wanted to get some advice from on what that horse looks like. After all it's not often we get the chance to choose again.Voted one of the most influential female entrepreneurs in Australia Penny is the world’s first Happiness Hacker, on a mission to teach 10 million humans, by 2025, how to intentionally adapt in order to future-proof happiness.Penny Locaso is the Founder of BKindred and the creator of The Intentional Adaptability Quotient.

Since its inception, Penny has grown BKindred from a one-woman show to a tribe of unlike minds, entrepreneurs, pioneers, researchers and visionaries who deliver a selection of keynote presentations, workshops and long term training programs within corporate and educational organisations.Alongside Penny's entrepreneurial endeavours, she is a faculty member at the esteemed Singularity University.

Certainly the world will be a different place after COVID-19, but there are ways we can design positive outcomes for the future, not just for ourselves but for future generations to come.  This is the first episode of the (Re)Design Your Life series which will explore how the lives of individuals across the globe are getting on, how their lives have changed, what their coping mechanisms are and insights into what the future holds for us.  In this episode, Vince chats with Penny Locaso about how her role as a ‘Happiness Hacker' has prepared her for the COVID-19 experience. Penny left a successful 16-year corporate career, relocated her family from Perth to Melbourne, left an 18-year relationship and started her own purpose-driven company with the sole intent of positively impacting the lives of others. She's quite used to drastic life changes. “Focus on what you can control, not what you can't”, she says. “You can't control the situation, but you can always control how you respond to a situation”, she says, “which will impact your mindset. Accept the things you can't change and ask yourself, ‘how am I going to make sure each day is the best day it can be?'” A well of sound advice and positive guidance, Penny also shares how she's adapted her business, BKindred, to virtual working, and how the current need for human connection is actually helping to level the professional playing field.

For episode 56 of Offline, host Alison Rice sits down with Happiness Hacker and founder of BKindred, Penny Locaso. The pair met as speakers on Pink Hope’s Women Who Lead panel in 2019, and quickly bonded over their shared mission to help people connect with what really matters.The advice Penny generously shares in this episode will help you face your fears and step into your future. She’s been voted one of the most influential female entrepreneurs in Australia and is currently writing her first book. But before that, she was working as a senior executive with a salary into the hundreds of thousands and like so many women before her, put her career before her own happiness.Penny seemingly had it all. The corporate role and salary, the house, the cars and the holidays. And then one day, she got up and walked away from it all. Why? Because she realised she wasn’t Being, she was just doing. So instead, she chose happiness. Both for herself, and hopefully by 2025, 10 million other people.BKindred is the world’s first educational program and measurement tool designed to humanise the future through the amplification of the Intentional Adaptability Quotient.

It was exciting sitting down with Penny Locaso again, if you've been listening to our podcasts for a while, you'll remember we talked to her at _southstart last year. Penny founded Bkindred and calls herself a "happiness hacker". She teaches people how to slow down, think more, and make decisions to adapt, coining the term Intentional Adaptability Quotient (IAQ) - a means of measuring how skilled someone is at making an intentional change in a complex environment that's evolving at speed. We dove into the theme of penny's talk at _southstart, discussing the busy epidemic. How as a society, people are forced to cram as much stuff into their day as possible leading to bad mental health, especially anxiety. Penny spills some of her hacks for productivity and managing her work into a small portion of her day. This is an inspiring conversation that challenges people to think differently, enjoy!
