Work Rhythm

Work Rhythm

I have working rhythm. It's more like a work/life ๐›๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐. As a business owner my work and life ebb and flow into each other to help me deliver for my clients. For me, the key to sustaining my working rhythm is to understand my energy. How do I work best, when do I work best, on what projects do I work best and with whom do I work best.

Emotions are contagious

Emotions are contagious

Your emotions are contagious. Your moods, your attitudes, your feelings, all leak out and infect the emotional state of those around you. In this interview excerpt on the fabulous 'The Get More Success Show with Warwick Merry CSP, I share more behind the research and behavioural mechanics of emotional contagion.





Why women aren't heard as leaders in the workplace

Why women aren't heard as leaders in the workplace

In mixed gender meetings, women are more likely to be talked over, interrupted and ignored than men. 

This is not necessarily because men don't believe women have value, but because we have all been conditioned to hear men and women differently.

Traditional stereotyping dictates that men are the leaders and women are the supporters. And so when it comes to how we listen, we give men more airtime and women less so.

When I was interviewed by the lovely Shar Moore for YMAG, I discussed several reasons why women aren't heard as equally as men, including:

  • second-generation bias (inherited structural bias)

  • being a minority in a majority environment (less women than men in leadership)

  • social backlash (why common career advice for women doesn't always work)

What have you noticed in your workplace?
