On this episode I interview Todd Brown; co-founder of Next Action Associates and pioneer of the Getting things done methodology created by David Allen. In a nutshell (Todd's words) they are helping people be as productive as they can be and focused on the right things. Todd says; it's not just about being busy. They want to help people at the same time to lower their stress levels. Background Todd discovered the work of David Allen when he was starting a new job; watching a seminar of his whilst he was waiting for his computer and work-space to be set up. However, whilst it was an epiphany moment, a lot of what David was talking about resonated with Todd. Things like; how do I keep my head clear so I can focus on whatever I choose to focus on. Over the coming months Todd started to implement some of the tools and ideas from the Getting things done methodology before deciding to set up Next Action Associates. At Next Action Associates We have a definition of work; "work is anything in your life that isn't the way you want it to be" Essentially this is the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be. Things are coming at us faster than ever before and we are always available. We all need strategies to be able to deal with what's coming at us each day. The 'commitments' as Todd and initial David Allen refers to them as. It hasn't always been the case in Todd's career but the work he is doing now (and has been doing over the last 10 years) is what considers to be 'important work'. Openness to being a beginner Many of us are afraid of being a beginner. There's a great quote from Sting; "I'm never afraid of being a beginner." We don't all have the luxury of doing what we love all of the time, but as we go through life it's important that we pay attention to whether or not what we are doing is aligned to our deeper purpose. The Getting things done methodology allows you to get into a state of flow and optimise each part of the process; capture, clarify, organise, reflect and engage. Todd's thoughts on work-life balance. "If we felt like we were always in balance, life would probably get a bit dull. A very important part of life is getting out of control, getting out of balance."

Welcome back to the second part of this episode where I interview Katy Murray & Fiona Smith from Catalyst Collective; the co-founders of a global network of world changing women with a focus on changing the dialogue. They came together and founded Catalyst Collective just over 12 months ago and provide a community and resources, including on-line programmes and face to face coaching. Both have 20 years' experience in organisational consulting and leadership development and focus now on sharing that expertise (wisdom) with women leaders, and consulting with organisations that want to make a difference around inclusion. In part 2 Katy & Fiona share their insight and research into the gender pay gap, shifting the focus of discussion and how do we re-define leadership. They truly are two minds working in collaboration; looking to address the balance of leadership. We delve into comparison in the workplace and competition, discussing organisations and experiences where sharing isn't encouraged. They deliberately choose to work with an abundance mindset for themselves at Catalyst Collective; supporting and encouraging one another and creating together. Curiosity and boldness they hold one another's back rather than holding one another back. They've developed a partnership and sense of accountability which drives everything they're doing. If you're working on diversity and inclusion, or if you want to be part of creating a more inclusive culture in your business or company, you can sign up here to join Catalyst Collective's change catalyst community. You will receive regular curated research, strategies and practical wisdom, for free, every month.  In addition you'll also receive your own copy of Catalyst Collective Gender Pay Report - what next?
