I have spoken about journaling before on this podcast… I am big supporter of this daily activity because that was the first activity I have introduced in my life when I started my journey to regain power and self-confidence in myself.

Do you listen to respond or do you listen to understand? This question inspired by the book of Steven Covey is something I ask myself often. It takes time and commitment to become a better listener and, as you improve the skill, your efforts will be rewarded. As you become a more effective listener you might be surprised to find people will seek you out more to share their thoughts and feelings! You’ll also notice you’re involved in less conflicts and get recognised more often as a honest and trustworthy person. Attentive listening is a unique skill that people respect and admire.

Judging ourselves and others can be exhausting and why do we do that? As a human instinct it serves us but now always as an evolved species.
In many cultures, we are tought to believe that rationality is what we should tap into when we are making decisions about anything that is of high importance: like business decision, but even when it comes to choose what to eat for lunch.

Tune in into today's episode where I talk about what is behind this natural behaviour and how we can free ourselves from it with awareness and understanding.
There's not a real way to multitask. We can't do two things at once, so multitasking really means we keep shifting from one activity to another. What this doesn't take into account is how long it takes us to shift. We are much better working on one thing to completion and then starting the next thing.
Motivation vs. Inspiration: sometimes we mix up these two terms while they are very complementary and different from each other. Motivation comes from an external pull factor; inspiration comes from within, a force within you. In business, we want them both. And personally, we want to be aware of what drives us for any given objective. Join this conversation...
In a world where so much is out of our control, commiting to a practice that works for us is a way to establish and remind ourselves of our own power and responsibility over how we show up in the world.
