Season 4 of the Power Up Podcast is loading.....and will be coming to you in July.  So whilst we are putting the final touches to the next powerful episodes, we wanted to re-share some of the most popular episodes from each season. The first of these is on Tackling Imposter Syndrome! Do you sometimes feel a sinking sensation when entering a meeting, comparing yourself to others, and fearing exposure of your limitations? You're not alone. These feelings can affect anyone, especially as you rise in seniority. High expectations from others and yourself amplify these feelings. The good news is that it is a natural experience for many, and in this episode from Season 1, we share practical strategies to help you both understand imposter syndrome and overcome it! Tune in to gain insights and conquer those doubts! https://lnkd.in/eWCeKcbr #ImposterSyndrome #Leadership #SelfImprovement #CareerGrowth

People pleasing develop as coping and survival behaviors. And if they stem form early childhood the people pleasing part of us can feel like it's just us. But it's only one part of who we are. And when it's goes into overdrive it can be hard to take care of ourselves, because we're so busy taking care of others. In this episode of the AYWW podcast I share a personal story about working with that part of me when it feels it needs to take over — especially when it doesn't need to. #peoplepleasers #peoplepleasing #highlysensitive #highlysensitivepeople #HSPs

If you want to be an impactful leader, you NEED to hear this. How you show up each day affects everyone around you. That’s why prioritizing your own well-being isn’t just important—it’s essential. In today’s episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I’m tackling a surprising addiction that’s quietly draining your energy, especially as a leader or boss… It’s your addiction to busyness and stress. Listen now! 🎧 “The Real Reason You’re Exhausted: How To Gain Control of Your Time & Your Life.” https://lnkd.in/eCf2RcW9 #melrobbins #melrobbinspodcast #goodleadership #howtobealeader #addictiontostress

I never tire of reminding both new and established leaders about the essential airplane mask metaphor: you must put on your own mask before assisting others. If you're not prioritizing your own well-being, stress and fatigue can take a toll—not just on you, but also on your team and the organization as a whole. Prioritizing self-care is a critical component of effective leadership. When we take the time to recharge, we can lead with greater clarity and energy, ultimately benefiting everyone around us. #wellbeingatwork #leadership

This is spot on. And I love the weather analogy (as many of you know my husband, Matthew Mascolo, is a weather fanatic lol ☀️🌦️❄️). Even though weather is out of our control, I love the idea that we, as leaders, have the choice to set the tone, and we should lead by example. Our attitudes and energy have an impact on others. It doesn't mean we have to be sunshine all the time (impossible!), but we should be aware and mindful of how our behavior influences those around us. By being authentic and positive, we can create a more supportive and productive environment for everyone. #internalcomms #internalcommunications #beagoodleader #leadership #manager

☀️ "Leaders bring the weather" This sentence had me stop what I was doing. I’ve always been a huge fan of Mel Robbins, and this part of her podcast beautifully captures the transformative impact that great leadership can have—not just on teams but on entire work cultures. As professionals, we each have a role to play in shaping positive work cultures, whether as leaders or team members. Reflecting on this, I’m reminded of the importance of cultivating environments where transparency, trust, and support are at the core of what we do. 🫶 What are some ways you’ve seen or practiced leadership that makes a difference? Let's bring out the sun, I'd love to hear your thoughts! #leadership #thoughtleadership #management #inspiration

Leaders - this is a great analogy for how you are impacting others when you are stuck in your stress and busyness. 💡 Connecting in with yourself, do the work on yourself first and then you'll be able to have a positive impact on others! Taking this into my day today, what about you? #Destress #Leadership #DoYouFirst

Given the role that Leaders play in their organisation, their verbal and non-verbal language and behaviour is like the weather, it has the power to raise everyone up or bring everybody down. Brilliant analogy from Mel Robbins The aim is to stay grounded to ensure self-awareness and to respond thoughtfully to life's ups and downs. How do you stay grounded?
