Welcome to the 5 Day Life, Leadership and Purpose Challenge with me, Ann Collins and the first of five sessions where we're taking a close look at purpose.
Read MoreThis is our final episode of our very special Inner Voice series and we're looking at how to leverage our purpose to calm the chatter! This has not only implications for our wellbeing but also for our ability to implement our goals and formulate a vision of our future that is expansive and allows us to be the best version of ourselves.
Read MoreThe triad of feelings, thoughts and action and their interaction is a key part of coaching and in this episode, I look at why focussing on the thoughts, by harnessing the inner voice, is such an important part of the "growth" process that will ultimately allow us to transform.
Read MoreWe explore how to actually change the message we are hearing, how to retrain our inner voice in order to ensure that it is truly serving us. How? By using our inner voice!
Read MoreWe know the harmful effects on our mind, body and relationships of chronic stress and whilst a noisy negative inner voice isn't the cause, it's often present. If we can learn to turn it down and therefore reduce it's power, it can help in our management of our moods and stress.
The case for caring about how we use, listen to and train our inner voice is clear! It is fundamental to the way we experience our lives on a personal and professional level.
Join me for this series of episodes during the summer where I will be exploring in more detail what the research into the inner voice could mean for us in our personal and professional lives and what we can do very practically to harness and train it to serve us.
It was great to catch up with a fellow expat on this Leaders Who Love What They Do Podcast with Linda Mueller. Linda fully understands the opportunities and the challenges that expat partners encounter while living abroad often because their spouse is in a leadership role and she is passionate about supporting those who are on a similar journey.
It was such a pleasure to have Rebecca Le Brocq on the Leaders Who Love What They Do podcast: a very experienced, passionate and inspiring leader in the world of music education and the arts in the UK.
In this episode, Barry shares how he brings his sense of adventure and the wisdom of being a white water rafting guide into his leadership role in business: how he helps teams to work better together and use the power of joint adventure. He also talked to me about his mission to help young people to discover rafting and "use their voice to take a stand and make an impact" in their lives.
Read MoreThis is for successful senior leaders who know they can do more, they want to do more, but they're maybe fearful of rocking what is essentially a comfortable boat.... but that nagging feeling of knowing they can do more is becoming more prominent. Time is precious and you know that the time is now to invest in yourself, your career and the contribution you want to make and finally put yourself at the top of the to-do list.

Read MoreAnn shares four simple and yet transformative ways to keep the daily habits that help to keep us going in the mix when we most need them.
