Podcast appearances and mentions of chris barez brown

A few days ago, a colleague recommended I connect with Chris Barez-Brown.I listened to one of his talks on resilience — and a lightbulb went on.For the past 10 years, I've worked closely with leaders — many of whom attended boarding school. Over time, I've noticed a consistent pattern:Dissociation.Rather than feeling what's happening in the body, many retreat into their heads. Emotions are shut down. Sensations ignored. Connection severed.This is one of the key issues we work on because if we are dissociated we don't lead very well. Dissociation means a lack of emotional intelligence so we struggle to empathise with those we lead. Our communication is poor because it lacks vulnerability and honestyPeople model our actions - if we are pushing through burnout - they will follow.That's when the penny dropped.Because I realised — many organisations are teaching this.They're calling it resilience, but it's not.What's often sold as “resilience” is actually:Numbing your emotionsPushing through exhaustionTolerating dysfunctionIgnoring your burnoutThis isn't strength. It's dissociation.Real resilience, according to leading researchers, looks very different:Acknowledging stress — and honouring itFeeling your emotions — without being overwhelmedRest — knowing when and how to recoverCommunity — staying connected to yourself and othersPsychological safety — feeling free to be you, not just a performerIf we don't shift how we define resilience, the consequences are clear:More burnoutEmployees feeling broken for not being able to “push through”Cultures where emotion is pathologised rather than heldA leadership style rooted in blame, not responsibilityIt's time to reframe resilience — not as stoicism, but as compassion in action.Because when leaders model true resilience, workplaces heal. And when workplaces heal, people thrive.#LeadershipDevelopment #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmotionalIntelligence #ResilientLeadership #CorporateCulture #PsychologicalSafety #AuthenticLeadership #BurnoutRecovery #CompassionateLeadership #TheCompassionateExecutive--- Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems.

Chris Barez-Brown began in the army and took a big u-turn into brand management and subsequently innovation and leadership development. Sensing there was so much pain in people, so much more potential and connectedness, Chris went about deepening his workshops into spirituality and fulfillment, and runs programs called “Upping your Elvis” and, newly, a social enterprise called Talk it Out which has been proven to help reduce stress levels and increase self-awareness - if anything it instantly highlights how rarely we go deep when talking to people - hopes, dreams, the things that trouble us. Chris’s passion is to help people become more energetic and collaborative and his training, including meditation, allows people to get their energy right and bring their talents and sense of flow to the fore. It’s a lovely end of year chat to pave the way for deeper connection to ourselves and others in 2020. I hope you enjoy it, Alexx x

In today’s episode of the One Year No Beer podcast, Chris Barez-Brown joins the show. Chris is the founder of Upping Your Elvis, a movement designed to bring more energy into the workplace and to help individuals level up their performance in business and in life. Chris is a speaker, the author of four books, and a regular writer for publications like GQ Magazine and the Harvard Business Review.  Chris started out his adult life in the army, but says that his military career didn’t last long because he quickly realized that he was more of a lover than a fighter. So, he went to college and earned a degree and started pursuing the things that he thought he was supposed to want – a job with an expense account, a car, a chance to climb the corporate ladder. And then he found that those things didn’t make him happy either, so he made a drastic change. Now, he says he’s on a mission to help others love their lives as much as he does.  “The important thing is it’s always all about making sure every individual has a bit more awareness, a bit more choice about how they show up.” Upping Your Elvis is about a belief that when you have the right energy, things go smoothly and life is fun and easy. And if you don’t have the right energy, the opposite happens. Chris says the first thing that’s important to do is make people aware of their own energy and help them understand how it works. Then they need to figure out the things that enhance and improve their energy – this can include anything from nutrition to exercise to time management. Finally, people have to learn how to prevent their energy from being depleted.  In today’s interview, Chris also talks about his own experience going alcohol-free. Chris says that he’s currently at around 100 days without alcohol. While he’s gone without alcohol for short periods before, Chris says that going alcohol free for an extended period is a different experience that’s had unexpected benefits. He also talks about the change in perspective that can be achieved by identifying and breaking a big habit, such as drinking alcohol. To hear more about Chris’s work and life, listen to today’s episode.  OYNB LINKS    OYNB Website: https://www.oneyearnobeer.com/  OYNB Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Oneyearnobeer/  OYNB Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/199505820380513/  OYNB Twitter: https://twitter.com/oynbuk/  OYNB Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneyearnobeer/  Email: info@oneyearnobeer.com  CHRIS BAREZ-BROWN’S LINKS Upping Your Elvis: https://www.uppingyourelvis.com/ Clear Your Head in Just 60 Minutes: https://www.uppingyourelvis.com/talk-it-out

Chris Barez-Brown joins me to dive into how you can get your energy right, so you can get your extraordinary on.   Chris is the author of several books including Free! Love Your Work Love Your Life, Wake Up!, and Shine, and is the founder of Upping Your Elvis, a company dedicated to helping organizations become more energetic and collaborative to bring their extraordinary talents to life.   Modern business and human beings clash. Chris explains why he believes humans aren’t designed for business, and why businesses need more Elvises (high energy mavericks that break the rules and get things done). He shares some indicators that you have the right level of energy in the room, and some real-world tactics to change energy physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and to create engaged energy — energy that's sustainable to allow people to do proper work. We also break down how to deal with people with negative energy, why being in nature can help elevate your energetic state, and the importance of trust and vulnerability in solving problems.   If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com   Mentioned in This Episode: IQE Pro Facilitator's Guide and Toolkit Chris Barez-Brown Upping Your Elvis Books by Chris Barez-Brown Switch, by Dan and Chip Heath

How busy are you? Do you wear your busyness as a badge of honor, always looking for ways to fill up the tiniest bit of room in your schedule? Chris Barez-Brown, author of Wake Up! believes that most people are so busy that they are on autopilot from the time they open their eyes in the morning to the time they close them at night.  Their brain is so used to their routines and patterns that they are not fully present in the moment. There is nothing wrong with filling your day with meaningful activities, but it's tough to make the conscious choice to pay attention to your world around you.  So how do you snap out of this autopilot mode even when you are doing things you enjoy like spending time with friends and family? Chris wrote Wake Up! For these exact reasons, and he lives for helping people become more happy in the world around him.  In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, Chris talks about writing his book, the concept of being on autopilot, and balancing the conscious & subconscious parts of our brain.
