Have you ever found yourself struggling to stick with new #habits? 🌟 Recently, I decided to dive into James Clear's book "Atomic Habits" to see how I could make small yet impactful changes in my daily routine. As a digital marketer passionate about writing, I often juggle various tasks and projects. I realized I needed more structure to boost my productivity and personal well-being. I started by making a 1% improvement in my morning routine, just dedicating a few extra minutes to brainstorm creative ideas. It was incredible how such a tiny change could spark my creativity and set a positive tone for the day. 🎧 This podcast episode helped me understand the art of habit-building: https://lnkd.in/dRYzkdJu What small change are you making to enhance your routine?

Podcast Review! 😋 🎧 This week, my lovely friend and colleague Paloma recommended to the Accelio team Simon Sinek's podcast episode guest-starring Brené Brown and Adam Grant.    As a big fan of all three authors, I loved hearing them talk about some of my favorite topics: anthropology, business and life strategy, and emotional intelligence. The key theme throughout the chat was also the title of the episode, “Thinking About Thinking,” which involved understanding how metacognition can empower individuals to reflect and improve. 🌟      What isn't mentioned in the podcast is the fierce rivalry between Grant and Sinek. Despite writing in the same space, they choose to collaborate rather than compete, showcasing the power of an abundant approach. 🤝      Key takeaways: 1. 🧠 There’s a difference between situational awareness and self-awareness. Often, situational awareness comes first. As Brené calls out, "Values aren’t situational, but the expression of them is."  2. 💡 Memorising information is one thing, but being deeply thoughtful with memory is a superpower (e.g., remembering facts vs. remembering names).  3. 🤲 The ability to self-criticise allows leaders to be more approachable and trustworthy. One study highlighted that when leaders self-critique out loud, it boosts psychological safety for their teams.      If you’d like to listen to it, you can find part one here: https://lnkd.in/gZTCua7X and part two which was released yesterday: https://lnkd.in/gjcXWc9c   Thanks so much, Paloma, for the recommendation! 🌟 #learning #podcasts #business #psychology #adamgrant #brenebrown #simonsinek

Listen to Simon Sinek on "Finding Mastery" with Michael Gervais! Check out the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gqbdzJ7G I’ll admit, I wasn’t always a Simon Sinek fan. My first encounter with his work was a talk where he contrasted Apple with other device makers, claiming that the difference was Apple had a clear “Why.” It struck me as cute and clever, but not particularly life-changing or useful for guiding a business. At a former company, our leader gave each manager a copy of "Start With Why" and organized a meeting to discuss it. It seemed to me at the time that we were creating meaningless TV shows just to earn our salaries and make money for the owners. I saw no deeper “Why” other than keeping the company afloat for our own benefit. This lack of purpose seemed glaringly obvious in that awkward meeting. Consequently, I dismissed "Start With Why" and Simon Sinek, never even considering his subsequent books. However, I frequently listen to the "Finding Mastery" podcast with Michael Gervais, the longtime performance psychologist of the Seattle Seahawks. His conversations with elite thinkers and athletes are a significant source of inspiration for me. When Simon Sinek appeared on the "Finding Mastery," the interaction between him and Michael was extraordinary. Although I haven't read Sinek’s most recent book, "The Infinite Game," the framework he discussed resonated with me. Perhaps it was because of the sports parallels, a world I was deeply involved in during my youth and later as a coach. The concept of a "Just Cause" as an inspiring future clarified the idea of the “Why” as the core beliefs from which the "Just Cause" is born. Now, I see how I can use both the concepts of “Why” and “Just Cause” in my life, relationships, and business ventures. I highly recommend this podcast episode. I haven’t read "The Infinite Game" yet, but it’s definitely on my list.
