Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You'll recognize yourself in these true-life stories of adversity, challenge, fear, discovery, adventure, expression, and more from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference their journeys have made. I'm your host, Diane Wyzga.  Welcome back to Part 2 of the podcast interview with my guest, Leanne Gordon, founder of the consulting practice Changing Futures, the author of the newly published book, Change Seekers - making a difference, and co-author of The Book of Java: Together We Write, who joined us from Perth, Australia. I invited Leanne to talk with us about the unexpected changes Life created for her as she changes futures for others, claiming her Page as a writer and author, challenging herself on a long distance trek, and walking her life with guidelines instead of rules. We were talking about Leanne's consulting practice, Changing Futures when I asked Leanne: “What's important to know about uncertainty and change in the workplace?” Let's hear what she has to say about this, writing and publishing a book, and so much more on all things Change.      Minutes     37:2200:00 to 2:12      Intro    2:12 to 8:28      Consulting Practice: Changing FuturesI understand that you help people and businesses navigate uncertainty, embed change into the way they work and live so that there are meaningful work cultures that can be created, work and workplaces can be made more human. What's important to know about uncertainty and change being embedded in the workplace?COVID has been a shock to the world in terms of work and its place in our livesThis is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who have lived and breathed the concept of workPre-COVID Leanne has always argued that uncertainty and change is part and parcel of who we areLeanne specializes in change as a result of her own entire working life (and personal life)Nothing is certain; life is not in our controlThe last 18 months has amplified the basic concept that the world and the world of work is uncertainLeanne would argue that there are some levels of certainty (the sun is expected to rise) but overall not in the way we can control it or know itCOVID has handed us layers of changePeople have told themselves this fairy tale and now are finding out that the story (we can control things) is wrongPeople really do need assistance to navigate their way through next and not feel the fearAny step we take to the new is feeling fearful, uncomfortableLeanne is abnormal in feeling comfortable with change spaceYou can control what you do, your actions, your questions; but not others or what might happen; otherwise, the anxiety and worry is wastedWait, be patient, see the lay of the land, and then decide how to move and changeIt's an interesting time to the extent of how we will do even the everyday thingsWhat we've taken for granted cannot be anymore - Leanne  recognizing the impact of all of that on people8:28 to 12:08     Meaningful Workplace CultureQ: Given all that you've mentioned, the fear uncertainty, COVID, because we have a chance to begin anew, what makes a meaningful workplace culture? And how does one create it?Creating it is creating it togetherMyth: some one person or senior team in an organization has the big idea and puts that out and people will follow suit is falseThe reality is that in all workplaces, over all time people have their own thoughts, their own ideas, so it must be created togetherThe culture the leaders are creating versus the culture they actually have in the organizationThe culture (what we do) is there already in our actions every dayThe way to create something different is to come together, collaborateWhat is meaningful? Meaningful is different for different peopleFundamentally we need to be working for a purposeWe need to be working for something that means something to us, that is allowing us to achieve, have a sense of achievement, being part of something, connectedness, collectiveOrganizations with success will see collaboration, flow, energy, excitement, satisfaction, and vision which make for meaning in our lives and in the workspaceThis is meaning in the workplaceOtherwise, people find meaning in other parts of their lives12:08 to 16:13     Change Seekers - making a differenceQ: So it's no accident that you recently published a book called Change Seekers - Making a Difference. If we were to look back on this conversation there is almost a yellow brick road leading through our conversation to this book. Would you tell us about what gave rise to the idea of a book like this? And what was it like to write it?For Leanne to let go of the idea that was THE BOOK and flipped to the idea that this would be A Book or the First BookNo longer necessary to take every single idea she ever had and put it in one placeThis doesn't need to be A Book for the AgesAll Leanne's expectations evaporated and began to write a bookLeanne has lots of ideas and many years and many books to be writtenLet's write the first one, see what's involved, and put it out into the worldWhether this first go is brilliant or not isn't the point; it is so exciting to have a published bookWriting the book was great to do it in communityA key to discover the joy of writing with others on similar missionLeanne's goal was to publish on time and it got done!Not the book Leanne envisioned as “the real book” but is a collection of her thoughts she hopes will resonate with others who are making things happen16:13 to 23:45     Change Seekers AttributesQ: You say, “If you are the type of person who has ideas for change, can see things differently and where improvements can be made, you are a change seeker. This book is for you.” Do change seekers have certain attributes? And, if so, what might those be?A change seeker does have certain attributesLeanne's book is a “find the others” bookChange seeker is much like Leanne was (prior to becoming a solopreneur) working within organization, knowing things could be better and wanting to do something to make changeIt's often a lonely place; feel like being the only one or one of a fewIf you are the one who says, What about this? Or what if we were to do that?  Have we thought about XLeanne's book speaks to those folks: question askers, why, when, how, always seeing things differently, curious, pulling ideas and thoughts from different directions, disciplines, synthesizing all of it to be betterChange Seekers seeing what is possible and what is differentIf you see yourself in these pages: Don't give up - there is hope - there is many a way of persisting, asking questions, making change in the workplaceA lasting legacy of change takes patience, calmness, persistence, a quiet confidence that you will get thereSome of Leanne's biggest satisfactions are being surprised that the “unchangeable” person changed!The acceptance of a different way, a better wayLeanne wrote her book to help give people confidenceQ: This book isn't a how-to or a self-help book. It is a find-yourself and find-the-others book. Which takes us right back to you sense of community which is where we were talking earlier on with the Akimbo and altMBA to Book of Java experiences. What do you hope will come about because your words are out in the world?  Leanne would like to know that her book helped one person to have the confidence to back themselves, to give themselves permission to do something they might have not done or held back  This book is a collection of little words that will stick forever; that would be happyWhat would make her ecstatic: the book becomes an opportunity to organize as change-seekers, find the others, provide community in the organizational lonely places, gain strength23:45 to 28:45     CAPE TO CAPE TREK: Zero2HeroQ: On this theme of “stronger together” you recently took part in a fund raiser to bring awareness to and support suicide prevention, mental health and well-being called The Cape to Cape Trek - Zero2Hero. As a walker I love the experience of walking, what was the experience of walking 135 KM (almost 85 miles) for you?Leanne is proponent of step out of comfort zone, take the first step, do something different no matter how small (walk a different pathway, wear a different color, etc. )Signing up for this Trek was a big jump out of comfort zoneLeanne had been unwell in 2018 and lost confidence in own physical capabilities; was concerned could not do the distance  Leanne knew she would enjoy the purposeful-ness and community and for a causeSigned up and then Life got in the way of trainingLeanne was concerned about being able to finish because she didn't train as she had plannedThen away we went!The fear dissipated as soon as Leanne began walking; she had more strength, capability and resilience than she had given herself credit forThe story Leanne told herself was no trueFully enjoyed the experience of being away, out in nature the entire day daylight to darkClimbed hills and sandy dunes and moreDay-by-day proving to yourself that when you want to do something you can and you shouldPhysical challenge, mental challenge - you can do it - because you can and you should28:45 to 32:39     Living  Life With Guidelines  Instead of RulesQ: As we sit here today how has walking Life with guidelines vs rules shifted your world view?For Leanne definitely connects the dots looking back on themLeanne thought she was more rule-based than actually isCarried her Inner Rebel and Inner Questioner along the way Questioned: is it a hard and fast rule? Is it somebody else's story, made up rule?In a very compliant and traditional way has followed rules but more of a confident question-er, curious, what if, how comeConstant questioning is the way Leanne roles  Leanne having children saw her qualities in them and thought Ah ha! That's what other people see in meLeanne decided that it's okay to take a left turn here and it will work outYou don't 'feel lost' is the keyI think I'm headed North and since I want to go North I'll be okay with the overviewWe'll get thereHost: There's a great deal of confidence in your statement: Somehow or other we will get there whether we're being flown or flying ourselves  32:39 to 37:22     LegacyQ: One last question of you: What would you like to see happen in the world as a result of your work as we sit here today?We have work spaces that respect and treat everybody as humans and in Leanne's lifetime  Would like to know many people are change-seekers to whom Leanne can pass along her batons, knowing her work will continueIf we come back to this: work is a human endeavor and we are all about humans doing that work it will be a better place for all of usAll about the humans, about the humans, no ‘bots.Before I say thank you to you, Leanne I want to mention that all social media links and connections to Leanne Gordon and her work Changing Futures, as well as her book, Change Seekers - making a difference, and a link to Zero2Hero if you're interested in donating to the 2022 trek will be posted in the Episode Notes.

In this episode, Antonio talks with Leanne Dumeny, an MD PhD student working in genetics and genomics. For Leanne, coming to UF opened doors to belonging through friends who shared her interests and mentors who helped her find her passion for research.

What kind of relationship does burnout have with resilience? In many aspects of my professional life, burnout comes up as a subject. And closely linked to that is resilience. In this episode, I talk about what is resilience and how we can be more resilient.   Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: The definitions of resilience What causes a lack of resilience The 9 causes of depression and anxiety The importance of sleep The sleep staircase How to develop better resilience What makes a resilient human being   Key Takeaways: Two official definitions of resilience: It is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. It is the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape or elasticity. For Leanne, resilience is the ability to recover from stresses and challenges, both anticipated and unanticipated. It's your fitness for the rigors of daily life. What causes a lack of resilience and depression and anxiety in society now is that we've become incredibly disconnected from important things. The 9 causes of depression and anxiety: Disconnection from meaningful work Disconnection from other people Disconnection from meaningful values Disconnection from childhood trauma Disconnection from status and respect Disconnection from the natural world Disconnection from a hopeful or secure future Changes in the genes Changes in the brain When you have a good foundation of sleep behind you, it's easier to go out and do the things that you want to do or need to do to stay resilient. It's a fact that 99.99% of people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep each night. Having a good social network, from a mental health perspective, is going to be critical for your resilience. If you have good levels of energy and you're clear on how you can pace or ration that energy out, that's going to be key for resilience.   Action Steps: Make sure you get enough sleep and have good quality sleep. Look after your mental health. Practice meditation. Incorporate lots of low-level movement throughout the day. Eat a diet that is personalised to you so you're not getting causes of inflammation through poor food choices. Make sure you've got really strong social connections. Maintain good energy levels Gets lots of access to natural light. Make sure you're not sitting for prolonged periods and that you're out and about more often. Make sure that you're regularly moving your body in the way it's designed to. Practice heartfulness. Get into your discomfort zone.   Leanne said: "I think resilience could also be defined as personal sustainability. To what degree have you got the tools that enable you to cope with the pressures of daily life, the rigors of daily life?"   "When you get yourself into your discomfort zone, remarkable things happen. You demonstrate to yourself what you can achieve, you push past all your barriers, you defy what other people think you can achieve as well. And you develop enormous amounts of energy and strength from that."   Thanks for listening!   If you're interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the  Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.   If you've enjoyed what you've heard on this episode and it's added value to you, share the episode with someone you think could benefit from it.

Leanne Brown is the creator of the viral sensation, Eat Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/Day. Originally created as a master’s thesis, Leanne found success with her book quite by accident. Throughout this chat with Aimee J., Leanne discusses her connection with food, the evolution of the book, and how she found her purpose. She also gives insight into maintaining focus on her purpose and why it’s important to continue to find ways of connecting with her audience. It’s clear Leanne has created something special. What’s even more clear is that Leanne is passionate about helping others and has truly made an impact. TWEET: Bringing everyone to the #kitchen #table, on this episode of #ChasingDreams Connecting with your path. As a child, Leanne loved all things creative, including (and perhaps especially) the fun dishes that came to life in the kitchen. Her connection with food was clear, but Leanne never wanted to pursue a career in culinary arts. Leanne’s creative leanings led her to earn her bachelor’s degree in art and go on to do work that she enjoyed right out of school. Once she discovered the food studies program at NYU, Leanne knew she’d found her calling. She attended NYU and passionately gained as much knowledge as she could. Leanne was drawn to cooking all along, and began watching YouTube videos to learn more about cooking. In sharing meals with her friends, she realized her main passion was pretty clear: Leanne loved sharing how to make food. For Leanne, it wasn’t just about cooking for friends, it was about teaching them to make the dishes. That’s where she found her path. The evolution of a book that would change lives. When the time came to write her master’s thesis, Leanne would end up with the book that would change everything. The book evolved from her master’s thesis and she immediately knew she had to find ways of sharing it with others. Her goal wasn’t to make money; it was to share it with people so she could make a real impact on their lives. Leanne decided to start a website and began sharing recipes there in the hopes that she could help people without a lot of money learn to eat well. The website would immediately garner a great deal of attention, eventually going viral after being shared on Reddit. All of a sudden, Leanne was an internet sensation. TWEET: Connecting with your true #path and staying the course, on this episode of #ChasingDreams Maintaining a focus on the original purpose. Once she realized her book truly mattered, Leanne decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign so she could get the book to the masses. She would hit her original goal of $10k in just a day and end up raising a total of $144k by the time the campaign ended. Leanne used the money to publish her book and ended up sharing it with non-profits at cost and even for free in some cases. From the start, she knew she wasn’t in this to make money - she was here to help people. Leanne stayed focused on reaching the masses and helping people overcome their fear of cooking. She started getting emails from people who shared how the book changed their life. According to Leanne, this is the greatest reward of all. The future of Good and Cheap. Over time, Leanne’s audience continued to grow. Today, she is sought out for public speaking engagements and workshops, something Leanne never imagined she’d enjoy, but it’s something she truly loves. She discusses why it’s so important to connect with people through workshops and events, and the rewards she feels as a result. Leanne gives insight into what she sees in the future and why her goal is to get people to understand that they deserve to eat good food. In closing, Leanne shares some advice for fellow dream chasers, including why it’s so important to share your dreams.
