In episode 9 we dig into the adaptability paradox where change and fear battle for supremacy. The overuse of metaphors is exceptional with lovers, divorces, magnets, compasses and north stars amongst the excessive comparisons we make about insight, resilience and being adaptable in a chaotic emotional landscape. Sarah admits she is jealous of a chair and Nicky admits to having a well earned COVID tantrum. This and so much more including a zen moment at the end.

With Nicky back, the conversation takes a few twists and turns as we unpack the trend for 'lived experience' as incidental learning that boosts structured training, how mind potentialities are the way we think and not a weakness and why Nicky got told she has a saggy pelvis. We encourage the idea of why you need to 'wilfully put yourself though shit' to become a better leader and poke fun at ourselves in the distraction.

While Nicky continues to look after her family, Sarah is solo at the mic! In an episode of discovering the top 10 difficult types of people we meet and manage in the workplace, Sarah talks about the signs and supports, actions and accountability you might use in working with disrupters of the unhelpful kind. The takeaway is to identify what trap type you might fall into. Are you a Huff 'n' Puffer? Or a Buddy? Perhaps you show signs of The Grudge Holder?

Knowing the signs and identifying the dangers can help your resolve the issues, support better outcomes and reduce the stress and conflicts that arise when we have difficult people in our teams.

Our guest, Nigel Sutton from NDS Productions, shares his very raw and personal story as he fought cancer and kept his consulting business afloat. He shares his story on fear, fearlessness, vulnerability and what he learnt as a business owner and a man through his journey. We talk on the work identity that defines us, the attachment to our businesses and the need to develop better future business models to manage the unexpected and yet very real health risks of being human. Sarah shares her distraction that involves rock stars and documentaries that remind us all to have purpose and passion in life, and Nicky shares how  the unexpected shook off her false imposter moment and reminded her to listen to her value compass.
