    When I was sent a book called The Emotional Overdraft I instinctively knew that this was a topic that was going to resonate with me personally and you as listeners to this podcast. An emotional overdraft is when you as a leader habitually overcome your employer’s challenges at the cost of our own physical and mental health. Sound familiar? I am seeing this happening a LOT at the moment with the women within my Women Leading community so I was excited to dive into the topic with the book’s author Andy Brown. We discussed: The cost of going too deep into your emotional overdraftHow to start paying it backWhat behaviours or drivers create our emotional overdraftThe role of management skills and influencing in changing a culture which relies on people being emotionally overdrawnHow to approach urgency and filling short term gaps more strategicallyHow the emotional overdraft shows up outside of work My name’s Carla Miller, leadership coach, author and trainer.

    Ep 165 – A new perspective on winning with Cath Bishop
    2024/07/01
    Many workplaces are dominated by short term thinking, intense pressure to produce immediate results and a focus on growth at all costs. Sound familiar? This short term focus often leads to poor decision making, poor long term performance and risks employee burnout. In today’s episode my guest Cath Bishop makes a powerful case for implementing what she calls Long Win Thinking. Cath knows a bit about winning as a three time Olympian with a silver medal and a fascinating career in diplomacy within conflict zones! We discuss: Why workplaces benefit from focusing on the Long Win How Cath’s mindset around winning shifted across her 3 Olympic Games and how she felt at the start line of her medal-winning Olympic race What insights Cath has taken from her diplomatic experience into leadership coaching How early in life we start thinking winning is important Separating performance from results and winning Cath’s 3 C model for implementing long win thinking in your team I found this episode really timely as I reflect on the impact I want to make through my work and what success means to me. I hope it brings you some insights both personally and also as you think about how to create high performance in your team.
