To leading the future,
In this deeply personal solo episode of the Limitless Leaders Podcast, I thought I'd share my story of what has happened this year and my massive journey of healing. This episode is not just about my story, but about finding strength in adversity and the importance of mindset in navigating life’s unexpected turns.
I've had a lot of people ask me ‘What happened?', ‘How am I still working?', ‘How am I staying so optimistic?' and so much more.
Join me as I answer those questions and as we explore the gifts and lessons I've learned and the importance of mindset in overcoming life's toughest challenges. I open up about the fears, struggles, and triumphs I've experienced, and how I've managed to stay grounded through gratitude and purpose.

Key Take Aways:
From navigating the emotional and physical toll of chemotherapy to finding strength in gratitude, normalcy, and the support of loved ones, I hope this episode offers powerful insights for anyone going through adversity.

In this episode, we speak with Nina Mapson-Bone, Managing Director of Beaumont People, about meaningful work. We explore the definition of meaningful work and its impact during the pandemic. Meaningful work is subjective and varies for each individual, and we discuss the definition of meaningful work, which had not been extensively researched in Australia. Academics have developed a definition that takes into account factors such as personal goals, values, motivations, and societal context.

Key Take Aways:
We discuss the fact that meaningful work is an ongoing journey rather than a quick fix.

In this solo episode, I talk about the importance of self-leadership and how it can transform our lives and careers. As leaders, we often neglect ourselves as we juggle work, life, and everything else happening in the world. Unfortunately, this has led to Australia having the highest reported rate of burnout globally. It’s time to prioritise our wellbeing, integrate balance into our lives, and focus on people over progress.
Key Take Aways:
We discuss key strategies for self-care, setting boundaries, gratitude, delegation, and embracing challenges as opportunities. Remember to spend time in nature and prioritise self-care to grow and better serve others.

Key Take Aways:
Many have experienced burnout and exhaustion because we were used to the culture of prioritizing results, sales, and targets. People come in last. The thing is, organizations can only be sustainable when leaders treat themselves and other people well. Now, we know that burnout is not an acceptable prize for success. If we want high-performing teams, the health and wellbeing of their people must come first.

[8:42] Renee: “I always say leverage strengths in a team and you'll have a dream team. Don't give people the things that don't light them up, because they'll do it. They'll comply, but they won't commit. Whereas, you know, if you're complimenting each other and leveraging the things you love doing, it doesn't feel like work. “
[33:37] Matt: “You have a lot of people that micromanage people. It's the fastest way you're gonna lose people. Yeah. Um, and that's cause they're doing it from their head.”
[33:45] Matt: “If you want that collaboration to really work, you've gotta have trust, but you've also gotta believe that those people are gonna do what they say they're gonna do.”
[36:13] Renee: “Curiosity leads to creativity and the byproduct of creativity together is collaboration. “
[48:48] Matt: “Have a real look not at what you do, but who you are and the people that you surround yourself.”

43: Coaching and feedback to connect and empowerStudies have shown that regular feedback and coaching reduce turnover in companies, and their staff are more engaged when they receive regular feedback. It is estimated that coaching can increase overall business performance by 70%, team effectiveness by 51%, and 72% of people coached regularly have improved their communication skills.
Coaching helps us think for ourselves. And if you are a leader, it gives more time back to you. You'll often find that the more you ask questions of your team, the more they'll find answers on their own.
It is important to ask questions, not to give answers. This enables you as a leader, to empower others and get the time back to do the things that matter.
The following tips and strategies will help you coach effectively:
1. Let go of the need to add value * Empower others to think for themselves * Check on how they came up with the solution before jumping in and providing the answer
2. Identify your team's strengths and maximize them * Find out what your members are good at and enjoy doing and take advantage of that when you are delegating * This will enhance the diversity of the group and raise efficiency as a whole
3. Establish rapport * Rapport equals influence and connection – build it. * Understand people at a deep level. By having a more meaningful relationship with your team, you are building a platform to accelerate it.
4. Your coaching session shouldn't be about you; it should be about them * You may ask what they would like to discuss or focus on when you catch up * Ask questions such as, “Why is that important?” What makes it challenging? What are the opportunities with that? Is that something you've done before? Is there anything else you can do? * Conduct Stay Interviews. You can ask questions like “Why are you staying?” What motivates you to stay? Can you tell me what your purpose is here? Is there anything you need more of? Are there any things you need less of?
By coaching and giving your team feedback, you are helping them improve their skills and help them achieve professional and personal goals.
Don't wait until the end of a quarter or a month to celebrate wins, do so every day. Celebrate the individual and collective successes of your team members, and share best practices as a team. Create that healthy environment where your team can give and receive feedback regularly.
42: The Importance of Connection & Spirituality to becoming a Healthy CEO of your Life
Joining Renée on today’s episode is Shaun Tucker who believes that our body is the physical expression of WHO WE ARE. Learning to express our body through movement is just as important as knowing who we are.
Shaun Tucker's life purpose is to Create and Enrich All-beings to be the custodians of their Health and Wellness, so they live as the CEO of their life.
At Healthy CEOs, they believe that there are four pillars to Health. Mindset, Nutrition, Lifestyle and Movement. Wellness is the integration of those four aspects that also connects the Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual beings that we are. Before you can change any of the four pillar – you need to shift your energy. Your energy is the ground zero and foundation of who you are, and is the compass to long lasting change.
Here are three reasons you should listen to the full episode:
