  • Practising resilience, empathy and civility
    Oct 16 2024

    How do you practise resilience in the face of personal and professional stress? How do you make sure you are being as kind as possible to yourself and others?


    In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, Claire and Helen discuss how life's unexpected difficulties often demand resilience, and how that's sometimes easier said than done, even when we’re teaching it to others.


    They also delve into the topic of civility - why it's important and how it can save lives.

  • Humanising rules, Christian Hunt
    Oct 2 2024

    How many times have you whizzed through an online training course at work, only to instantly forget everything it was supposed to be teaching you? How many times have you been tested on a company policy that has next to no impact on your day-to-day role?


    In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire and Helen meet Christian Hunt, a man who is on a mission to change all of that.


    Through his company Human Risk Ltd he is trying to make the workplace a little more human, and help employees thrive.


    Part of that is removing unnecessary training, which he says can have a really detrimental effect on the employee-employer relationship, and could be counter-productive when it comes to compliance.


    Check out Christian's book Humanizing Rules.

  • 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go! Jodi Goldman
    Sep 18 2024

    "If you avoid doing something you're afraid of, you're telling your unconscious that it's dangerous, which then creates a pattern of fear."


    In this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, co-hosts and sisters Claire and Helen meet Jodi Goldman, a personal impact specialist who packs a punch.


    Jodi is all about helping women "own the room with magnetic confidence, assertive communication skills and a powerful personal brand".


    She discusses the power of the five second rule, why she believes it's important to recognise men and women as equal but different, and the role how we dress can play in how we perceive ourselves.


    5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - let's go!


    How to Thrive events:

    Jodi is appearing at the Thrive Legal Community Meet-up in London on September 26th. Click here to become a Thrive Legal Community Member and attend the event.
