In this episode, Leah, a returning fav guest, joins the podcast to explore the vital topic of self-leadership in uncertain times. Nicky and Ness engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Leah about navigating change, embracing vulnerability, and making empowering choices amidst life's challenges.

Episode Highlights:

• Defining Your Leadership Identity: Leah emphasises the significance of knowing what you want to be known for, both personally and professionally. This self-awareness serves as a guiding light during challenging situations.
• Acknowledging Your Current State: The hosts discuss the importance of honesty with oneself. Leah encourages listeners to ask tough questions, such as "What's it like to be around me?" and explore their emotional vocabulary.
• The Drama Triangle vs. Empowerment Dynamic: Leah introduces two powerful models for understanding our responses to adversity. The Drama Triangle (victim, persecutor, rescuer) traps us in disempowerment, while The Empowerment Dynamic (creator, challenger, coach) empowers us to take responsibility for our responses.
• Choosing Your Response: Leah draws inspiration from Viktor Frankl's wisdom, reminding us that even in challenging situations, we retain the power to choose our responses. We reflect on the importance of this choice in personal growth.
• Balancing Vulnerability and Leadership: The conversation addresses the fear of vulnerability and the misconceptions about maintaining professionalism. Leah encourages authenticity while maintaining professional boundaries.
• Practical Steps for Self-Leadership: Leah provides actionable advice for stepping into self-leadership. She advises listeners to start with a small, manageable step to effect positive change in their lives.
