The conversation does not shy away from the real-world hurdles faced by psychologists entering the consulting field, emphasizing the need for psychological safety to foster innovation.Unleash your entrepreneurial spirit by exploring the intersection of personality traits and successful business practices.

Welcome to another exciting episode of "On the Brink with Andi Simon!" In this episode, we are thrilled to have John M. Fisher, an extraordinary management development and soft skill trainer who also holds the title of chartered psychologist. His expertise in understanding and navigating change is unparalleled, making him a valuable resource for our discussion today. As a corporate anthropologist, I always look for individuals who genuinely grasp the challenges of embracing change and making it a friend rather than a foe. John Fisher is one such individual who has dedicated his career to helping people navigate the complexities of personal and professional transformation. John's unique approach, which is centered around maximizing personal understanding, has proven to be highly effective in helping individuals adapt to new demands in their business environments and personal lives. One of the most impactful tools John has developed is the Change Curve, a robust model that illustrates the stages people must go through to let go of the past and envision a new future. This model is instrumental in helping individuals and organizations understand the emotional and psychological journey involved in change, providing a clear pathway to move forward.   From Observation to Innovation, CEO | Corporate Anthropologist | Author Simonassociates.net Info@simonassociates.net @simonandi LinkedIn

Last episode we ended by talking with Bec about how cybercriminals leverage the fight-or-flight response and get you to do things you wouldn't normally do, like share bank details, through amygdala hijacking. Bec concluded the episode by giving us some great advice on how we can retrain ourselves NOT to be so reactive and hopefully, stop ourselves from doing something rash.In this episode, Awareness ≠ Behavioural Change - Rethinking Cybersecurity Training, we're going to build upon what Bec discussed last week, a cyber psychology 101 if you will, and see how we practically apply key psychological concepts like cognitive agility, convergent and divergent thinking and meta-cognitive skills to things like tabletop exercises and security awareness training. Key Takeaways:Embrace Cognitive Agility: The world is too complex for a one-size-fits-all approach. Learn when to adapt and think critically in the face of unexpected situations.Awareness does not equal change in behaviour: One size doesn't fit all, and quantitative is usually valued over qualitative, which needs to change.Leverage Divergent and Convergent Thinking: Don't just train for specific scenarios. Develop the flexibility to both explore diverse solutions and converge on the best course of action when the time comes.Build Diverse Teams: Groupthink can be your worst enemy in a crisis. Foster diverse perspectives within your team to avoid this critical blindspot.Make Reflective Learning a Priority: Learn from every experience, good or bad. Debrief after incidents and ask: What went well? What didn't? How can we improve?Focus on Impact Skills, Not Just Technical Knowledge: Decision-making, communication, and collaboration are the foundational skills needed to navigate complex cyber threats.We hope you enjoyed this episode - See you next time, keep secure, and don't forget to ask yourself, ‘Am I the compromising position here?'

Welcome to Compromising Positions! The tech podcast that asks non-cybersecurity professionals what we in the industry can do to make their lives easier and help make our organisations more prepared to face ever-changing human-centric cyber threats! This week we are joined by Bec McKeown, a chartered psychologist with extensive experience in carrying out applied research for organisations including the UK Ministry of Defence and the founder and director of Mind Science, an independent organisation that works with cybersecurity professionalsIn this episode, Hands Off My Amygdala! The Psychology Behind Cybersecurity, we are going to hear about Bec's varied and interesting career in advising people in highly stressful situations to be reflective and not reactive, and how they cannot only learn from their actions but become masters of them. This episode is a smorgasbord of psychological concepts that will make you think twice about how you normally run your security awareness programme and but also your tabletop exercise too. And crucially, learn why people act the way they do during an actual cybersecurity incident. Key Takeaways:The curse of knowledge: Understanding what it's like to not understand cybersecurity from a technical perspective can be an advantage in helping you communicate better. By putting yourself in the shoes of the listener, you can convey complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand and relatableZero trust: While zero trust may make sense from a technical standpoint, it can lead to frustration and workarounds when it hinders employees. Theory Y suggests that people given more agency and autonomy are likely to work well, if not harder, than when constantly surveilled.Just culture: Accepting that mistakes will be made and analysing the steps that lead to that mistake happening with a view of learning how to avoid it without blame can improve the learning culture. Most people don't come to work to be malicious, if a mistake happens it is due to other factors like stress or bad processes.Microlearning: Nobody wants to sit in training for three hours! Microlearning helps by breaking up information into bite-sized chunks that are easy to digest. It's also important to account for different learning styles and provide information in various formats.Amygdala hijacking: Cybercriminals leverage amygdala hijacking, which occurs when the amygdala activates the fight-or-flight response when there is no serious threat to a person's safety. It's essential to recognize the contextual cue that led you to act that way and develop strategies to deal with it before it happens.Links to everything we discussed in this episode can be found in the show notes and if you liked the show, please do leave us a review.

In this episode I have the privilege of talking to the gorgeous author Suzy Greaves about the vital skill of self-care and its foundational place in managing our wellbeing. Inner and outer care, self-respect, self-talk, boundaries and empowerment are just some of the topics we touch upon in this episode as Suzy shares her passion, compassion and wisdom.  Suzy is a mother of two, an author, Chartered Psychologist and Coach. She specialises in self-care, helping people manage their stress, emotions, and energetic bank balance. It was her life experience of motherhood colliding with the terminal illness of her father that sparked her passion for self-care which she now teaches to her clients, young and old, to cope during periods of stress, loss and change and to boost their resilience in the face of future challenges. Suzy is the Psychology Expert for wellbeing brand Neom Organics and is a founding member of the ‘Nourish' app. She figure-skated her way through her childhood, growing up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and now makes her home in the hills of Hertfordshire, UK. Her first book ‘The Self-Care Revolution' published by Aster came out in 2017, 'Stand Tall Like a Mountain: Mindfulness & Self-Care for Children and Parents' and 'The Little Book of Self-Care' came out in 2019. ‘Self-Care for Tough Times' and her first children's book ‘This Book Will (Help) Make You Happy' were published in 2021. Her first journal And Breathe,  Sit to Get Fit and her new deck of cards, “The Little Box of Self-Care” came out in 2022. Rest to Reset is hot off the press now, just in time to shake off the winter blues and boost the rebirth of Spring.   Join Suzy's Wellbeing Community at: Instagram: www.instagram.com/suzyreading/  Facebook: www.facebook.com/SuzyReadingPsychologyAndYoga/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SuzyReading   www.suzyreading.co.uk Grab a cuppa and let's chat.  Love kate x

This week I'm delighted to speak to Cailie McGuire and Dr Daniel Brown about thriving in sport. Cailie is in her final year of her PhD at Queen's University. Her research interest is in sport psychology, specifically team dynamics: looking at how teammates interact with one another and how that influences individual and collective outcomes.

Dan is a senior lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at the University of Portsmouth and leads the undergraduate programme in Sport and Exercise Psychology there. He is a Chartered Psychologist of the British Psychological Society and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Cailie and Dan have written a paper along with Dr Desmond McEwan, Dr Rachel Arnold and Dr Luc Martin and led by Cailie entitled “Thriving together: conceptual and methodological considerations for examining thriving in interdependent sport”. Cailie and Dan take us through the paper and what it means in practice for coaches.

In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Prof Marc Jones, Dr Carla Meijen and Dr Martin Turner. We discuss The Theory of Challenge and Threat States in Athletes (TCTSA) which provides a psychophysiological framework for how athletes anticipate motivated performance situations. Marc led the original research, along with Carla, in 2009 proposing this theory. Marc, Carla and Martin have conducted many years of research on Challenge and Threat states within a number of competitive environments, including sporting environments. Marc is a Professor of Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University. He is interested in stress, health and performance and particularly how people perform under pressure. Marc is a registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist and a Chartered Psychologist. Carla is a registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist and Associate Professor in Applied Psychology at St Mary's University, London where she also leads the MSc in applied Sport Psychology. Carla's research focuses predominantly on the psychological demands of endurance performance, stress in sport and Challenge and Threat states. Martin is a Reader in Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University specialising in stress and emotion in performance situations. Martin is particularly interested in the psychophysiological reactions to pressured performance and how research can be used to help individuals reach their potential.
