Ian Cartwright thrives on maintaining headspace through disciplined organization, both physically and mentally. Drawing inspiration from his training routine, he likens his approach to rowing—focusing on executing every stroke perfectly rather than worrying about the outcome. For Ian, success in sales, much like athletic performance, comes from controlling the controllables: dedicating time to preparation, fitness, and structure. By keeping his environment and routines in order, Ian believes the desired results will naturally follow.Joining me is Ian, a New Zealand-based sales coach, speaker, and author of "The Six Fundamentals of Sales Know How To." Known for his clear, actionable advice, Ian shares how structured fitness routines can sharpen mental resilience, increase motivation, and help you achieve that all-important sense of accomplishment—even in the face of sales' toughest challenges. From 5:15 a.m. gym sessions to mastering the art of "keeping the water up," Ian reveals the habits that fuel his energy and productivity, both in his business and his life as a masters rower. Whether you're a road warrior battling travel temptations or simply searching for ways to boost your daily focus, this episode is packed with practical tips and real-world wisdom to help you bring your A game—physically and professionally. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Career benefits of a morning gym routine [04:16] Ian's fitness and hydration habits [08:22] Prioritize your health because it's constant [10:53] Three key essentials for wellbeing: Exercise three times a week, find quiet time for reflection, and maintain proper nutrition [11:08] Fresh air and quiet space allow you to collate your thoughts [13:01] Improve creativity and professional performance by getting fitter and altering your relationship with alcohol Fitness as Mental Fitness Ian Cartwright emphasizes that fitness isn't just about looking good—it's about sharpening your mental edge. He likens sales to rowing, an activity he's passionate about: "You can't control the outcome, but you can try and execute 200 perfect strokes." In both sales and sport, discipline over your activities—preparation, practice, routines—matters more than fixating on results. He recommends: Early Morning Workouts Whether at home or traveling, Ian makes it a point to visit a gym; this consistency sets the tone for his entire day. Hydration Keeping the water up—especially in a profession built on back-to-back meetings and endless coffee—is vital. Dehydration quickly leads to mental fog, sapping focus and productivity. Rowing (Erging) As a master rower, Ian includes long sessions on the rowing machine. This routine not only works the body but also provides extended periods for thinking and processing, combining physical exertion with creative reflection. Well-Being in High-Pressure Sales Sales can be a grind. Targets are moving, deals take time, and rejection is part of the territory. That's why Ian sees fitness as an essential part of resilience. Physical health helps salespeople bounce back, stay persistent, and "top up their tank"—staying sharp and ready for opportunities. He draws clear parallels between celebrating small gains in fitness (lifting an extra kilo, running a little further) and maintaining consistent sales activities. Both reinforce confidence and momentum. Common Challenges—and How to Overcome Them Travel, social gatherings, and high-pressure environments often undermine healthy habits. Ian humorously refers to these hazards as "buffets, booze, and bum warming," highlighting the sedentary and indulgent lifestyle that salespeople can fall into. His antidote is kindness and realism. Don't set yourself up to fail; start with attainable routines—three workouts a week, daily hydration, and making time for fresh air and reflection. Don't compare yourself to others; focus instead on what you can control. Recognizing Burnout and Countering the "Fog" Fatigue and burnout manifest as mental fog and unproductive days. The key, says Ian, is knowing your own rhythms and triggers: "If you know your own rhythm, then you can set yourself up better for success." If you miss a session or slip up, avoid self-criticism—just get back on track the next day. Sales isn't just a numbers game—it's a human endeavor. Prioritizing physical health, nurturing routines, and cultivating a resilient mindset transforms how you show up, both for your clients and for yourself. So lace up your trainers, fill up your water bottle, and invest in your most important sales asset—yourself. Resources & People Mentioned Admiral William H.

Catriona Boffard is a clinical sexologist, psychotherapist, and sexuality researcher who hosts the podcast Asking for a Friend. She's completing her doctorate in psychotherapy and works with people facing challenges in their sexual experiences, particularly women dealing with sexual pain. I reached out to her because sexuality is such an important part of being alive, and as a therapist, I see it as a significant aspect of someone's life force. It tells us so much about who we are and what we desire. Catriona explains that sexual health is just another pillar of our wellbeing, yet it's often excluded from healthcare conversations. Clinicians don't feel comfortable talking about sex because of their own shame, so clients don't think they can bring it up. She works with people experiencing difficulties like vaginismus and anorgasmia, and the number one intervention is giving people permission. Permission to not want something, permission to want something, permission to realize there's nothing wrong with them. The factors contributing to sexual difficulties are multifactorial: strict religious or cultural messages, trauma, negative sexual experiences, relationship dynamics, parenting stress, medications, neurodiversity, and education. South Africa has a risk and safety-focused sex education curriculum rather than pleasure and consent-focused, which leaves huge gaps. We talk about how sex is the most vulnerable space we can step into with another person. Good sex isn't about how many orgasms you have or how often you do it. Research on magnificent sex shows people talk about being present, transcendence, and expert communication. Catriona introduces the four C's of sex: connection, creativity, curiosity, and compassion. We discuss how porn is acting, how Gen Z has more terms and fluidity but still struggles with shame, and how heterosexual women find sex far more satisfying in midlife when they stop caring what their bodies look like. The cultural and social scripts we inherit get in the way of our bodies' natural wisdom about pleasure and connection.

Becoming Your Best Self with Beth Young: Small Steps to Big ChangeIn this inspiring episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I sit down with Beth Young — keynote speaker, health and wellness coach, founder of The Great Calm, and recipient of the Houston Women in Excellence Award — to talk about how to become your best self through small, consistent changes.Beth's life is a testament to the power of intentional living. Raised in a home surrounded by smoking and drinking, she made a bold decision early on: “That's not how I want to live.” That choice, rooted in self-awareness, would go on to serve her through some of life's toughest challenges — including surviving a brain tumor and a traumatic brain injury from a devastating car accident. Her neurologist was amazed by her recovery, saying, “You're six months ahead of others with the same injury because you live your 5 pillars.”Beth shares her powerful 5 Pillars of Health:NutritionMovementRelationshipsQuality SleepMindfulnessThese pillars are simple, accessible, and profoundly effective — especially when practiced consistently. “It's not rocket science,” Beth explains. “We just do the basics, and we do them consistently.”We also dive into:A unique breathing technique that can prevent anxiety attacksThe importance of “starting small” when making life changesWhy movement-based meditations, like tai chi, are perfect for those who struggle with traditional meditationHow “walkie talkies” — walking with a friend — can enhance both physical and emotional wellnessOne of my favorite takeaways from our conversation: “Did you know you cannot have an anxiety attack if you're getting enough oxygen to your brain? So I'm going to show you this really cool, unique way to breathe...”This episode is a beautiful reminder that becoming your best self doesn't require perfection — just consistent, mindful effort.Connect with Beth Young:
In previous episodes, we've discussed how stereotypical gay culture has idolized youth, beauty, and sex. This fixation has led some gay men to equate midlife with “aging out” of the community, often resulting in internalized shame and a complicated relationship with aging.In this episode, Hunter Flournoy, a licensed therapist, coach, breathworker, healer, and spiritual guide, joins us to talk about how gay men can confront ageism and create more fulfilling, authentic lives in midlife and beyond.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 60.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Elliott Higgins, director of Health and Well-Being for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Together they explore the development of the Well-Being Influencers Survey for Health Care (WISH)—a validated, non-proprietary tool that measures the organizational conditions shaping clinician well-being. Dr. Higgins discusses how WISH shifts the focus from individual burnout to systemic factors such as transparency, fairness, and psychological safety, offering leaders actionable insights to drive meaningful change. The conversation highlights how data-driven, collaborative research can reframe accountability, empower departments to tailor interventions, and move the national dialogue from burnout awareness toward system-level solutions that enhance both workforce and patient care.

In this episode of HR Insights: The Podcast, our CEO Stuart Elliott sits down with Thierry Moschetti, Managing Partner at the Resilience Institute, to unpack the findings of the Global HR Resilience Report 2025, the first global diagnostic snapshot of how HR professionals are really doing.Together, they explore what resilience truly means in the HR context and how the profession is holding up amidst constant transformation, complexity, and pressure. With only 32% of HR professionals categorised as resilient and just 1% thriving, the results of the report are a wake-up call. “Bounce”, the ability to recover from stress, emerged as the weakest of the three resilience categories, highlighting just how much HR is being stretched.In this conversation, Thierry shares practical insights and draws on the Resilience Institute's work with organisations like Google, Shell, and PwC. He and Stuart dive into why self-awareness isn't enough, the warning signs HR teams need to recognise, and how leaders can build more sustainable ways to perform under pressure.Key Timestamps 02:58 - Introduction to Thierry Moschetti and Resilience Institute17:10 - What is the global resilience survey and why did we run it?21.50 - Key findings: The resilience spiral26.28 - Unpacking the key findings31:30 - Are HR leaders unsupported?33.30 - The vulnerabilities of HR37.00 - What needs to change?42:26 - Gender gaps in resilience47.40 - Age gaps in resilience52.40 - Aiding burnout56.40 - Advice for leaders wanting to strengthen their HR teams resilienceYou can listen to and download HR Insights from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and other popular podcast apps.

In this episode, Dr. Laura explores one of the eight personas a toxic boss can inhabit: the gaslighter. A gaslighting boss tends to be very covert in manipulative behavior. She defines gaslighting as manipulating another person into doubting their own perceptions, experiences, and understanding of events. Navigating a gaslighting boss erodes self-confidence and depletes energy as all time is spent trying to deliver to expectations that keep shifting. Dr. Laura explains how to identify one of these types of toxic bosses and how to survive their subtle tactics.Gaslighting leaves us feeling exhausted and stressed. We doubt our own understanding and memory. We become increasingly dependent on validation from the gaslighter to verify what they tell us they said, instead of what we heard. And all this strain can spill over into our personal lives as well. Some steps can be taken to protect our recollection of facts, however, and Dr. Laura offers practical advice on documenting what we observe and are instructed to do. With every talk and video she shares about toxic bosses, she's reaching out to those of us doubting ourselves and suffering to say that our mental health matters and that there is a way out.“When you are gaslit, it can really erode your confidence, and it can make you feel like you're almost losing your mind. So again, it's very important to seek a trusted therapist that you can talk through this with and work on recovery strategies. And in my upcoming book, I Wish I'd Quit Sooner, I do have a whole chapter all about the recovery process, because it is a form of trauma. When we work for a gaslighter and many other types of toxic bosses, it is trauma that we go through, and we need to recover our physical, emotional, and mental health after this experience.” - Dr. LauraAbout Dr. Laura:Dr. Laura Hambley Lovett is a work and career psychologist and thought leader on the evolution of work. She has always been fascinated by how work intersects with life and loves to use her expertise to improve organizations and help people thrive. Her passion for taking creative ideas and launching them into successful business strategies led her to start three counselling psychology practices (Calgary Career Counselling, Canada Career Counselling, and Synthesis Psychology), as well as six different business brands offering organizational assessment and consulting services.Dr. Laura is honoured to have been selected as a Woman of Distinction in Canada in 2014 and received a Canadian Woman of Inspiration Award as a Global Influencer in 2018.

Gina shares how the company is reimagining its HR operating model by combining AI innovation with deep cultural roots, creating what she calls “human–AI power couples.”She discusses how SAP's transition from role-based to skills-based talent management is changing everything, from recruiting and learning to performance and mobility. Gina reveals how SAP defined a company-wide skills taxonomy of 800+ evolving capabilities, built adaptive learning journeys, and encourages employees to invest 15% of their time in continuous learning.With her authentic energy, Gina explains how culture, curiosity, and speed are fueling SAP's AI-first strategy, and why the future of HR depends on embracing technology without losing humanity.

When the structure, pace, and purpose of humanitarian life suddenly fall away, what fills the space that's left?In this Embodying Change special, host Melissa Pitotti brings together Jennifer Lentfer and Hasangani (Hasi) Edema-Reynolds to explore the eight themes that come up again and again in peer support groups for humanitarians navigating change: identity, commitment, rhythm, balance, boundaries, resonance, joy, and connection.Through storytelling and deep reflection, they trace a path from loss to renewal, asking what it means to stay true to your purpose while rebuilding your life beyond your job title.

What can insights from the psychology of technology teach us about wisdom in the age of AI? In this special follow-up episode, Igor and Charles are joined by Steve Rathje to explore how classic ideas like the Turing Test hold up now that AI can talk compellingly about human wisdom. Steve unpacks what today's generative models are actually capable of, Igor is intrigued by how quickly the line between human and machine reasoning seems to be blurring, and Charles realises that telling human insight from machine insight isn't nearly as straightforward as he'd hoped. The trio also reveal the results of our listener poll — who sounded the wisest, and was the audience able to spot the AI? Welcome to Episode 67. Special Guest: Steve Rathje.
Send us a textFrom the Vault; This week I am joined by the wondeful Danika Sanchez as we talk about all things to do with looking after your baby in the best way possible.Danika is the owner of "Baby Step Concierge Nursing", in itself a fascinating idea already. She holds a BSN in nursing, an RNC for NICU, and is certified in neonatal touch and massage. We are talking about some of the big things that parents should really know about taking care of a baby but probably don't.Did you know that it's really important to feed your baby through out the night and that a baby shouldn't sleep all the way through the night?Why babies don't like fast movements and loud noises.The right way to swaddle might not be to wrap the baby like a burrito.You can NOT spoil your baby by holding them too much!Why bath time can be difficult for babies and how to make it easier.A different way to change the baby's diaper that's kinder on your little one.How crazy it is that we have so many ante-natal classes and very few post-partum services when it would make soo much sense for baby's and parent's health and wellbeing.And soo much more, it's simply crazy how much evidence based information she shares in the hour she spent talking to me.I also have to say I think her idea of a post-partum concierge service is really clever and provides a services that I think a lof of parents could benefit from. I hope it catches on and, as always, I hope this sort of thing becomes available through your insurance or national health system.Check out the Babystepsnursing.com website for more resources and, if you're lucky enough to live in California, to get in touch.Just a reminder that HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Tell us about your Adventure!Caregiving for our spouse, aging parents, or even our own children is a HUGE part of retirement that many people don't think about when planning for retirement, but very often can define our retirement. Caring for others is often a deeply fulfilling journey, yet it can come with significant challenges. Many caregivers frequently find themselves feeling overwhelmed and neglecting their own needs while they focus on those they care for. This is where self-care becomes essential. Mike Collins, a noted advocate for caregiver wellness, has developed a helpful framework called the Five H's: Heart, Head, Health, Home, and Hands. In this post, we will explore each of these components and how they can empower caregivers to maintain their balance and well-being.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Eric Mosley, Founder, CEO, and Board Member at Workhuman to discuss how AI and recognition are reshaping the workplace. Eric reveals how companies can unlock hidden talent and reduce bias by combining AI with the human data hidden inside recognition moments.He explains why 80–90% of AI projects fail, not because of the technology, but because companies lack meaningful data to train their systems. Recognition, he says, provides a treasure trove of insight into real performance, collaboration, and potential.From the emotional power of gratitude to the measurable ROI of recognition, Eric paints a vision of the future where AI doesn't replace humanity, it amplifies it.
What if we could bridge the divide between healthcare leaders who understand that team member safety and wellbeing is essential and those who view it as nice-to-have with a small shift in focus? That's what happens when Carlton Abner, DNP, RN, NBC-HWC, reframes wellbeing goals as protecting capacity – whether capacity to learn or teach, perform or recover, or empathize and connect. In this episode of Caring Greatly, Dr. Abner shares what it means to protect capacity for students at Kansas City University (KCU), including medical students. He shares how important capacity protection is for a generation of students who want to engage differently in their work, with a strong focus on passion and connection.Dr. Abner's 30+ years of healthcare and leadership experience began as an ER/trauma nurse with the Army where he led interprofessional teams within various healthcare settings around the world. Today he serves as the Vice Provost for Student Engagement and Wellbeing at KCU. In this role, he works to elevate and strengthen the overall culture of student engagement and comprehensive wellbeing strategies. Before joining KCU, Dr. Abner was the Dean and Lead Faculty for the Veterans Affairs Innovative Technology Advancement Lab at Cerner in Kansas City, Missouri. He recently retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Kansas Air National Guard, where he was one of only 89 Chief Nursing Executives nationwide, culminating a distinguished 25-year military career.Dr. Carlton Abner is a leader who cares greatly.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
