A good friend of mine has worked in a particular sector for most of her career.

From the outside she’s one of those people who’s life looks perfect. But more recently over a series of honest talks, she’s confided in me that she hates her job.

Has done for years.

Naturally I’ve asked, “why don’t you do something else?”

She explained that there were a couple of big things keeping her stuck. Firstly, she doesn’t know what she wants to do instead. (Kind of a problem).

The other big thing is that she’s overwhelmed with self-doubt at the idea of making a big change. She’s been doing what she’s been doing for so long, that at least she knows she’s good at it. It feels terrifying to walk away from.

This week on Tiger Therapy, I’m speaking to world authority on career transitions, who has been named one of the most influential business thinkers in the world.

Herminia Ibarra is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School. She also spent years teaching at INSEAD and Harvard Business School. Her career has been spent researching leadership, women’s advancement, and career transitions.

Her latest book Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, explores why so many people get stuck, why career-pivots feel so hard, and what to do about it.

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting again - this one’s for you.

Thanks so much, Herminia for coming on Tiger Therapy!

Kute Blackson says he can read your mind just by looking at your life. Our beliefs, he says, become our reality.

If you're intrigued by the power of the mind, the law of attraction, manifesting, transformational coaching and want to learn how to break free from conditioning, then I'm excited for you to tune in for this conversation with Kute, the transformational teacher that Inc. Magazine calls ‘The Mindfulness Guru Billionaires Go To For advice’.

Born in Ghana, West Africa, to a Ghanaian father and Japanese mother, Kute grew up in London and as a child was fascinated by spirituality and mysticism. He has spent the past several years of his life dedicated to helping people live lives of true purpose and break free from the beliefs that hold them back.

Big thanks to Kute for coming on Tiger Therapy!

If you knew what to say and how to act in every scenario - how would this make a difference to how confident you feel?

If you knew you could always make a good first impression, would you doubt yourself less, would you feel braver to put yourself out there and try new things?

Today I’m speaking to someone who always knows!

Sara Jane Ho is the most famous etiquette expert I can think of. She’s the founder of China’s first finishing school - Institute Sarita - which was recognised as one of the "World's Most Innovative 50 Companies" by Fast Company Magazine.

She’s the host of the Netflix show Mind Your Manners - which was nominated for an Emmy. Her new book Mind You Manners: How to Be Your Best Self in Any Situation is out now.

She says “People think of etiquette as stuffy old manners, but actually, etiquette changes with the times. I really see etiquette as the upmost form of wellness, it’s a way to promote healthy individual growth.”

Thank you Sara Jane for sharing your advice about how etiquette can be used to feel confident in oneself, as well as making those around us feel comfortable.
