My guest on the podcast today is Dr Amy Silver, a psychologist, speaker, author and media commentator on the management of our emotions for high performance. We’re discussing the role fear plays in our lives and how you can change your relationship with fear to stop playing a small game.

Amy’s newest best selling book ‘The Loudest Guest: How to control and change your relationship with fear’ provides six essential steps to calm your fear so you can stay in control and live your best life.

Amy has spent 3 decades as a psychologist developing content on how fear restricts us and safety expands us. She has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Masters in Forensic Psychiatry, Masters in Performance, Bachelor with Honours in Psychology and further therapeutic training in cognitive therapies such as Cognitive Analytic Therapy, Compassion Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What led Amy to specialising in fear and its impact on people.
• How fear limits us and prevents us from taking action.
• How to negotiate with fear and choose to live.
• Moving through courage despite or alongside the fear.
• Tips to reframe, move through and make fear work for us.
• Amy makes it count by making her relationship with fear deliberate.

I’m so grateful to have Amy on the show today to share her expertise and I know you’ll feel motivated and confident to take control and create a new relationship with your fear.

Joining me on the podcast today is Preeti Inchody, Managing Director in the Sydney office of a global consulting firm, Ankura. Specialising in mergers, acquisitions and strategic advice, Preeti’s work has helped transition iconic Australian brands such as Napoleon Perdis, Surfstitch and Pierlite to support their growth at crucial junctures in their journey.

Raised in Mumbai, India, Preeti’s search for her professional calling led her to pursue business school in Spain and eventually immigrate to Australia. After finding her step in the industry after a long 10 years, she is now a champion for mental health, equality, and helping other qualified immigrants to have meaningful careers and contribute to our society.

In this episode we spoke about:

• The courage it took for Preeti to step outside her comfort zone and move away from her culture
• Her beliefs, skills and strategies around building resilience
• The importance of taking personal responsibility
• The long game strategy and how it has helped her not give up when challenges arise
• Reaching out for help and being open to advice

There is so much to learn from Preeti’s story. She is a role model to many and I know you’ll get so much out of the episode as we explore her resilience, intentionality and the power of the long game.

I’m super excited to have you join me here for the first episode of Leading You.

As I mentioned last year I had a little secret and this was it - a new name! This new name encompasses everything that the podcast has become. It feels so aligned with the conversations I’ve been having and will be having with all the incredible guests I have lined up for you this year.

I dig deep with my guests, uncovering their road maps for success, how they’ve remained anchored through challenge and disruption, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile.

In this first episode of Leading You, I share with you why self-leadership is so important to your success now and into the future. First and foremost, you cannot lead others until you are a leader of self. But one of the hardest things to do is to lead yourself. You need to take responsibility for your language, biases and mindset - that can be really confronting.

I discuss how self-leadership is also a critical skill to have to be equipped for the future of work. I explain recent research undertaken by McKinsey Global Institute, that outlines the high-level skills that will become increasingly important as automation, AI and robotics take hold. These include:

• Cognitive (critical thinking and mental flexibility)
• Interpersonal (relationships and teamwork)
• Self-leadership (self-awareness and self-management)
• Digital (fluency and systems thinking)

I also clarify why self-leadership is not self-absorbed. Your self-leadership is the basis for all your actions. If you know what you stand for, what your values are and what the legacy you then you are equipped for success.

It is so vital to invest time into leading you. I leave you with three easy questions that give you a great checkpoint to reflect on your leadership each and every day.
