This was, you know, I've just been putting the finishing touches to a book called the Insight Leader's Playbook, and I found myself finishing the book by making reference to what's a bit of a bugbear of mine.” (18.42)“The key is in the small steps that you can do for yourself, specifically outside of work. So it is about how you can do small things for yourself that help you to recharge, because the antidote to, you know, being overly stressed, being burnt out, isn't just taking a pause, taking a break.” (24.35) This is episode 68 of the Transforming Insight podcast. If you have the ambition to transform your Insight team and the role it plays in your organisation, please tune in to future episodes.

358 Inner Leaders No matter how much of a master we think we are at the things we do, we can always learn more. Whether that be in the form of learning a new hiking path, learning a new crochet stitch, or how to best use your behavior in the workplace to encourage others to thrive. In this episode Tanya Bugbee and Sarah Elkins discuss the importance of having a coach, and using the skills that connect us to others.    Highlights Sometimes it takes time for us to accept and share the important details of our lives. Practice and leaving reminders for yourself to work on the behavior you want to make an adjustment to.  We need someone pragmatic and straight to the point to coach us.   Quotes “It connects us, those stories. We make a connection when we share something vulnerable or whatever we're sharing. It's a way to connect and to bond and to understand.”  “We need to have strong inner leaders in our voices.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you are a coach, who are you reaching out to for coaching to make sure you are bringing your best to your clients? If you've considered hiring a coach, what are the outcomes you want as a result of working with them, because that can help inform which coach is going to be the best fit for you. Think about the people you admire and respect the most because of interactions with you and know that your best coach connection will be with somebody like that, someone you will listen to and feel confident and safe to be vulnerable with. I highly encourage you to consider hiring a coach especially if you're a business owner and you just need somebody with really good ideas, and good listening skills, that can help you and make sure that they are in your corner.

325 Writing Our Own Stories   Although hard work and dedication can get you quite far in life, it helps immeasurably to have someone at your back who believes in you and inspires you to strive towards your goals and future. Our stories, though valuable, do not define us and should be used as kindling for the fires of ambition.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Kïrsten Blake discuss the importance of how our stories shape our paths in life but most importantly how the people involved in our stories inspire and guide us to success.   Highlights Sometimes you need to trust people to know you and perceive you in their own unique way. The people who help you through your struggles help to define you and inspire you to grow and change, especially when dealing with an othering experience. We don't know where we are going until we look backwards.  We need to experience so many different things   Quotes “I think belonging is such an important aspect of my work, and so it's not surprising that that story was what came to mind the more I think about it because, I think it informs so much of what I do, who I became, what's important to me. I think also having a lot of compassion for little people, you know we don't tend to see them as little humans but they are. They're experiencing things, they're going through things, there's alot going on in their head, and I think as adults it's really important for us to remember that.” “It all makes sense when you look backwards, but when you're in it sometimes it doesn't.” “We have to be in it. And I think sometimes we avoid being in it because it can feel hard and not great, and I think we as humans want to feel good and happy and joyful. But a mantra I try to live by. I'm not always great at it, being a recovering perfectionist is “Life is in the messy.” and so we have to let things be messy sometimes in order to get to that point where we are able to look backwards.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What stories can you look back on as early as 6, 7, 8, years old that might inform what you're doing today? Might help you uncover a pattern, or a reason about how you feel the way you do about something, or the passion you have for something else. I am so curious, please send me a message. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Kïrsten Kïrsten Blake is a certified Narrative Coach, facilitator, speaker, and creator & founder of Chapter BE.

In this episode, we discuss Vengeance Is Mine by Marie NDiaye, translated from the French by Jordan Stump. Highlights:

316 Community In The Age of Social Media   Want to join this year's NLV Conference? Register here!   Throughout our careers we will all need to make decisions to benefit ourselves and others by being a good leader and building up our teammates. In the age of social media and technology it is easy to focus on progress and monetization over the health of your community and your team. It is vital to your growth as a person and a business owner to choose community and growth for the betterment of your business, your community, and your team. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and the equally accomplished Eric Elkins discuss the importance of community and teamwork in our current age, how taking the time to listen to others and hold yourself and them accountable can lead to growth and change in the world around you. Eric also shares the skill of storytelling and brings awareness, compassion, and mindfulness to the conversation.    Highlights Sometimes you shouldn't care what people think, especially if it's something that makes you happy. Oftentimes growing means change, don't be afraid to spread your wings. Community builds each other up, don't be afraid to accept help and help others. Turn conversations that are hard into something positive for you in the long run. Value your team, without them you and your business can't grow or make meaningful connections.    Quotes “We could build a sense of community by building a sense of place.” “For me it's always about connecting people so that they can be more successful and be happier and do what they need to do.” “I often say when you get a negative comment or a negative review: Your response has two audiences and two functions, the first audience is the person who wrote the comment, the negative comment or the negative review, and the first thing you need to do there is deescalate and hopefully get that conversation offline or into a private venue so that you can work through the situation and solve the problem. But that second audience is everybody else who's watching what you're gonna do, and so that's why it's always important to respond, take responsibility, and then to actively in that response move that conversation elsewhere.” “We all go to work. We all have to deal with the vagaries of the workplace, and the slog that is even a job that we love, and the one thing that keeps us coming back day after day is the connection we have to the people there.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, It's time to hold up that mirror in front of yourself, what behavior are you continuing in your management or your conversations within your community and the people who care about you that maybe you didn't like when other people did those behaviors towards you. I know it's hard to be a manager, especially if you're new to that, so make sure that you're paying attention to what you didn't like in your experience with managers and not continuing those behaviors with your people. Listeners, I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Eric  Eric Elkins is a strategist, author, professional speaker, and CEO of WideFoc.us Social Media (http://www.widefoc.us/), a Denver-based agency he founded in 2007.

313 Rediscovering Yourself   Change is a fundamental law of nature, nothing stays the same forever. This is especially true when it comes to people, we are never the same even from moment to moment, we are allowed and expected to change, to grow, to become a version of ourselves that we can be proud of. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Michelle Cooper discuss growth, change, and the pains that come with it. Michelle brings warmth, empathy, and a depth of emotion that will make you laugh, maybe cry, but certainly bring you some hope and determination for the new year.    Highlights Sometimes all you need to do is learn the rules because you already have the skills. Acknowledging the other people who help shape your story. Sometimes finding your voice and your purpose can cause friction in your life, but it is your responsibility to work together and remedy the strife.   Quotes “To me whether it's a partner or a friend or a family member, it doesn't really matter. If they can't support something that's really important to you then they shouldn't be in your energy.” “You've got to have some data, you've got to go with your gut, and you have to come from an empowered place, not a victim, not a limited mindset, not survival. So how do we change that?”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What about this conversation really resonated with you? Was it this idea of finding community somehow in your late thirties? Was it about knowing that sometimes you need to have those hard conversations to give your partner a chance to change and to grow with you rather than leaving them behind? What will you do in 2024 cause it's early still, to make a decision about something that maybe you committed to without fully being committed to it but you're afraid to let it go? And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Michelle Michelle Cooper is a Business Mentor, Author, Podcast Host, and International Speaker.

289 Fear Is A Liar   Doubt, fear, and feeling awkward is a normal human experience, although it is important to celebrate the great and amazing things you do and are capable of, it is just as important to acknowledge that we all have limitations and we all feel fear in trying the new or the not quite perfected. It is only through facing and accepting that fear and persevering onward that we can continue to grow into our ideal selves. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Tammy Hader discuss how fear influences our decision and the importance of overcoming that fear in order to succeed in life and grow as an individual by confronting your fears and inner monologue in order to become the best version of yourself. Highlights Sometimes our fears motivate us, but we have to remember we'll only be scared in the moment and nothing will ever be as bad as our fear convinces us it will be. Perspectives shift and change as we grow and that is okay.  It's okay to occasionally have doubts but never let them consume you. It's okay for behaviors you are trying to teach yourself to feel awkward and unnatural at first, but eventually they will come naturally.   Quotes “It's only going to be scary while I'm surrounded by things I don't see, and once I'm on top of that fear everything will be fine.” “What I've kind of figured out through this whole process is that you can take that regret and if you just own it and learn from it, then it kind of turns it into something a lot more special, and meaningful, and at times maybe even something beautiful, and it gives you something you can bond with each other over.” “I'm just an average person which is kind of the point, I'm one of the millions of average people out there that could change the world just by being a little kinder everyday. You know it's really us worker bees that can do that, it's not the grand viral gestures that can make the biggest most sustainable difference.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Time to look in the mirror. It's time to look up, and do that thing that's uncomfortable for you, model what you want to see in the world remember that when you put something out there whether it's on social media or in person, you are sending signals about what kind of person you are, whether you're a loving and kind person or whether you're a person who's judgmental and hateful. So pay attention because this is your legacy. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Tammy Tammy Hader possesses no official, academic writer's pedigree.

285 Bloom Where You're Planted   When we are first starting out in our careers it can feel like we're lost and in a rut, constantly fighting the tide as we try to sail the seas of life. However, much like the humble dandelion, it's through this resilience and persistence that we can grow in whatever environment we find ourselves in. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Nathalie Lussier discuss the importance of thriving and trying new things that can bring us joy and fulfillment, even if they are new and strange. Because it is only when we make the attempt that we will learn more about ourselves and the strength within us.   Highlights Sometimes scrapping ideas is the first step in the right direction. Resilience can keep you afloat through all of life's turbulence. Growing and working hard over time on your passions, even if they're new to you.   Quotes “Bloom where you're planted.” “I think it's when people were sharing about it with their friends. The sort of word of mouth effect, because that was like obviously I can like what we created and think it's cool, but if other people aren't seeing the value and aren't sharing it with their friends because they think it's awesome and they need to try it, then I don't know if we created anything great. So for me that was the big thing.” “I feel like sometimes these situations open us up for better things even though it doesn't feel like it in the moment.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I started this question for you about ten or fifteen minutes into the conversation with Nathalie: What can you take on? What can you think about in terms of problem solving where you are now? What is something that you could do, maybe as a side hustle, maybe into the future as you get more experience and build the portfolio of trying it where you are now, being somebody who blooms where they're planted, what problem can you solve? I'll be curious to find out, please comment or send me an email, let me know what you thought of this episode. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Nathalie Nathalie Lussier is an award-winning entrepreneur who has been making websites since she was 12 years old.

283 Cultivating Your Ideal Environment    Creativity and problem solving often go hand in hand usually in very unexpected ways, however when given the chance to bend and try things in new and unexpected ways without judging yourself or your abilities you may just find that these two vital skills can shape your strength and identity going forward. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Dr. Cyndi Burnett discuss the importance of creativity and education and how these two things can shape our identities and images of authenticity going forward.   Highlights Sometimes you need to do things differently than you normally would in order to connect with your audience. You have to work with people who are different from you, you do not want to be stuck in an echochamber. Everyone is creative in their own way.   Quotes “That's what teaching is, it's all problem solving. So if you think about creativity as problem solving and not just arts and crafts and who has a nice door, then you'll understand that all of you in this classroom are creative, otherwise you wouldn't survive as a teacher.” “Sometimes it's hard to stop and say; okay hey we made it through this week, let's celebrate that! Just finding those small things that we can celebrate in both our personal and professional lives can really help with the overall wellbeing that we're moving forward through something.” “I give them a baby plant with a letter that says; This plant represents your wellbeing. If you can't keep it alive you're not doing something for yourself. And so if it dies you need to really stop and reflect on what you're doing wrong that you can't even keep this plant alive, ‘cause it only takes a little bit of watering once a week. If you can't do that you're not taking care of yourself.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What if you took this challenge from Cyndi and the next time you found yourself judging yourself for something you do or don't do or something you're afraid to do or something you have an idea about and you “Should” all over yourself about, I should be happy, or I should be okay with this without implementing this new idea I have. The next time you do that, really question where that came from and just as importantly, if not more importantly, find somebody who will support your idea or who will challenge you to think about your idea and how you can actually implement it. Find the people in your life, your community, that when you say “I have this crazy idea,” they say, “Awesome, how can I help?” And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Cyndi Dr. Cyndi Burnett is the Director of Possibilities for Creativity and Education, and the co-founder of the Creative Thinking Network for Educators.  Her mission is to empower educators to infuse creative thinking into the classroom.  She taught deliberate creativity and creative problem solving for 20 years at the Center for Applied Imagination at SUNY Buffalo State University.  She is also the co-host of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

277 Stretch and Grow   Throughout life we are met with adversity, stagnation, and breaking points that make us contemplate what the next step in our journey should be. Sometimes that step is unsure and frightening, oftentimes we can't even see where we are going, but if you keep moving and allow yourself room to bend, you will come to a better place.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Mark Reid discuss the importance of allowing oneself to stretch and try something new in order to grow and find peace and fulfillment in life.    Highlights Sometimes you need to make a change in order to find your calling. Even if it's a gradual change. We have to have a breaking point so that we make a significant change in our lives. Live your life the way you want to on your own terms.    Quotes “Sometimes you have to have a step back so that you can take two steps forward and realize ‘oh, I know I don't want to do that, and so I'm really grateful for what I'm doing now.'” “I think travel and education are the two most important things you can do in your life.”    Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What is one small thing that you would like to change about you, about what you do, about who you are, about how you react? Are you defensive and you want to change that? What is it that you want to change? It's up to you. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Mark Mark Reid is host of the Zen Sammich podcast and a maker of traditional handmade Japanese paper, called washi, where he lives in Yamaguchi, Japan.

EPISODE Episode 12 TITLE How To Navigate Challenges in Relationships GUEST Solo episode—Patricia Young EPISODE OVERVIEW Navigating conflict and having competing needs in relationships can be difficult.  How do we evaluate if our friendships are meeting our needs? I provide criteria that may be helpful when evaluating relationships and compatibility.  What do we do when there is a stressor in a relationship, and it causes a breakdown in the relationship? We aren’t often taught how to choose relationships; what to do when our needs aren’t getting met, and as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), we tend to be loyal (sometimes to a fault), and we feel guilty renegotiating relationships, or leaving relationships when they don’t work for us anymore.  I provide information to Dr. Elaine Aron’s website if you’re curious to see if you’re a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).  BIO Patricia Young, LCSW is a therapist in San Diego who is in private practice, and sees clients who live in California via online therapy.  Patricia works primarily with Highly Sensitive People (HSP) helping them understand their HSPness, and to turn their perceived shortcomings into superpowers.  Patricia is passionate about providing education to help HSPs and non-HSPs understand and truly appreciate all the gifts we have to offer.  HIGHLIGHTS Sometimes relationships work until there is a stressor, and the relationship (or the skills that one or both of the individuals have) cannot tolerate the stressor, and this can cause a relationship to decline or end Values to check for in relationships Depth of processing Similar interests Does the person have the capacity to manage intense feelings? What is their emotional literacy (emotional intelligence) are they able to identify their feelings Are they introspective Do they have insight Into their own behavior Into their triggers Can they handle when there is conflict Can they handle when there are competing needs How vulnerable are they willing to be How much time do they want to spend together in the relationship How available are they Are they dependable Can you count on them when you need them   LINKS Dr. Elaine Aron’s website— https://hsperson.com/   HSP Self-test-- https://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-test/ HSP Child self-test-- https://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-child-test/   To write a review in itunes: click on this link https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-sensitive/id1440433481?mt=2 select “view in itunes” chose “open in itunes” choose “ratings and reviews” click to rate the number of starts click “write a review”     Website--www.patriciayounglcsw.com Podcast--www.unapologeticallysensitive.com Facebook--https://www.facebook.com/Patricia-Young-LCSW-162005091044090/ Facebook group Unapologetically Sensitive-- https://www.facebook.com/groups/2099705880047619/ Instagram--https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticallysensitive/ Youtube--https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber e-mail—unapologeticallysensitive@gmail.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive MUSIC—Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com Youtube--https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOE6fodj7RBdO3Iw0NrAllg/videos?view_as=subscriber e-mail--info@unapologeticallysensitive.com Show hashtag--#unapologeticallysensitive MUSIC—Gravel Dance by Andy Robinson www.andyrobinson.com  

“Blame has never led to a productive or constructive resolution to a problem.” (click to tweet) We can feel negative emotions coursing through our veins. Anger, fear, sadness—when we find ourselves in these emotional states, our body is overtaken by a very distinct wavelength of feeling. There is no denying it. So our minds start to believe that there’s actual reason to be mad, scared, and sad. However, if we take a step back and assess our reality through direct observation, we can see the truth. For today’s episode, I brought on the expert for this direct observation model: Dr. Timothy Hayes. Timothy J. Hayes, Psy.D., is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. With over thirty years of successful experience doing therapy with individuals and families, Dr. Hayes integrates mind/body energy techniques into a client-friendly model. This model is based on the observation that people possess within themselves all the resources necessary to deal effectively with a wide variety of problems and challenges they may be facing. Hayes has become widely known for his successes in relieving the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Download this episode today to hear all of learn how to reframe your mind. “We’ve been taught to believe our anger means we’re right.” (click to tweet) Highlights Sometimes you just need to look at your challenges from a different angle.   Be aware of when you generate perspective from a place of anger or fear. It doesn’t magic wand, just commitment to using the tools. Understand that everything you do, you have good reasons for doing them. Question everything you think you know, and step into the moment with direct observation. Use breath exercises to train your body that situations aren’t life-threatening. You can’t control the emotions and reactions of anyone but yourself. Use tools by stepping outside your conscious, logical mind. You’re not afraid of the unknown, you’re afraid of the negatives you project into the unknown. “The answer to your problem is not in the conscious, logical realm.” (click to tweet)   References Get Your Copy of the Results Journal Search Inside Yourself Dr. Timothy Hayes - C & H Counseling Services
