Conscious Leadership with Alex Podcast

62. Episode - The Circular Economy and Circularity – What Businesses Need to Know

The Circular Economy and Circularity – What Businesses Need to Know

I would love to bring more clarity and create "ease" in the space of circularity and net zero with my expert guests, Kim Horwood, environmental scientist, the circular economy expert and Chris Trowbridge, the supply chain expert.

Today major focus and goal of this session is to bring clarity and ease in leader's lives. Bring understanding about the topic of net zero and circularity. We understand how today's pressure and uncertainty are influencing people and leaders in daily operations and this way we would like to release this pressure, stress and make it easier for them.

That's why we decided to cover the basic premise of what the circular economy is. Kim will go more into depth on circularity and provide an example of it is practice, in a context for all to understand. We will dive into simple steps that can be taken by leaders without feeling overwhelmed.

If you have any questions in this area please contact Kim or Chris by using their website or LinkedIn.

61. Episode - From fear and doubts to courage and success #leader #success

We all are feeling fear, doubts and sometimes exhaustion and frustration.

But you are not your emotions.

You can change your emotions in that second when you feel this resistance.

Why is that so important to move from fear to courage? To move from self-doubts to confidence?

Well, I will mention a few benefits of moving towards passion, courage and inspiration!

#1 benefit is that you will then become a great trusted, influential, inspirational leader and the list is going on....you will...

- Improve self-esteem and confidence.

- Create better relationships and communication.

- Increase resilience and ability to handle stress.

- Strong ability to pursue personal goals and dreams.

- More fulfilling life experiences.

- Increased respect from others.

- Improved decision making.

- Better mental and physical health.

- Ability to stand up for oneself and others and being authentic.

- Setting a positive example for others.

wow I think we can continue in this list. Would you agree?

What a feeling of power and inspiration, right?

But how we can change it? How we can be more passionate, feeling empowered and courageous?

1. Recognise that all what you experience is your belief and your perception. 

2. Bring awareness into your triggers (thoughts)

3. Bring awareness and feel the emotions and behaviours caused by those triggers

4. Release

5. Replace

I am so excited to hear about you and see your power and strengths to move towards happiness, passion and empowerment.

I am looking forward to talking to you

60. Episode - How to become more self-aware and emotionally fit leader #leadership #growth #inspiringleadership

Welcome to amazing 2023.

Theme of the year is gratitude, generosity and growth. 

Why is that?

First of all being grateful creates higher vibration and positive emotions and energy. We want to work and think from that state to improve our intellect and intuition.

I decided to share something from very beginning of my personal growth journey.

Three states to understand while moving to emotional fitness and conscious living.

1. Unconscious - is the first step and majority of people stay in this natural unhealthy state for the rest of their lives. At this state you believe you are not in control and your emotions are in control instead. Hormones are triggered, leading too often to stress response (reaction). This brings a state of imbalance in the brain. Impulses of fear and anger are weakening the highest centres of decision making. Destructive behaviours are learned and this is creating unhealthy and negative emotional habits.

2. Awareness - in this state the person is able to say "I'm feeling X(anger, frustration, love etc)!" Which is the first step to bring "X" into balance. The higher brain offers judgement , putting emotions into perspective. Memory tells the person how this emotions worked or didn't in the past and what they caused. You are reaching the first step of detachment here. 

3. Self-awareness - If you are self-aware you become unique, smarter and more respected. I am feeling "X", turns into questions: "What is the trigger of this emotion? What does that mean? Where is this taking me? Is this serving me or not? Is this emotions helping me to achieve what I want resourceful and sustainable way?"

Self-aware questions are the keys that make consciousness expand and when that happens, the possibilities are infinite.

I ma looking forward to hearing from you

With love

59. Episode - Leadership & Supply chain. #Circularity with Chris Trowbridge #supplychain

"The key think to positive change is to make conscious decisions and choices." Chris Trowbridge

I am so grateful and excited to having conversation with Chris Trowbridge "supply chain person" Chris describes himself as the “Supply Chain Person” and is working with his business partner Kim Horwood the “Environmental Person” to bring change to the world through supply chain, and are helping companies strategically shift to more circular and sustainable supply chains, or greening the supply chain as they like to say.

ECO Circular Sustainable Supply Chain assists companies unlock their supply chains, design out waste and pollution and meet their commitments aligned to their ESG Frameworks, while enhancing supply chain performance.

There is more to say but let's start with their project: ECO stands for Educate / Consult / Operate, which is our systematic approach in engaging with businesses through to operational execution. I am coming from different perspectives, from p[perspective of leadership and it's impact on behavioural and thinking change which has to happen first in my opinion. We need to change as individuals because we co-create production by our behaviour.

We are creators of our own market and what companies offer to us. Please submit your questions for Chris and I for the next episodes about leadership and behavioural change, circularity and supply chain. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

58. Episode - Be Do Have thinking pattern for happiness #conscious #leadership

Welcome to your 2023. I wish you all an amazing, successful year full of joy, happiness, adventure and clarity.

Did you notice that most of the time people say: “I will be happy when I will get new job” or "I will be happy when I'l have more money or more time."

And so on...

I would love to challenge this type of thinking.

I have found it is the other way around.

We use the model of thinking "Be Do Have"

 

To feel fulfilled, successful and happy you must embody “BEING” with all virtues, values, beliefs and attitudes of someone who already has what you want.

Think about who you want to be first. Who do you want to model?

How do you want to feel?

How do you want to act?

What standards do you need to have?

What mindset do you need to develop?

What virtues do you need to develop and demonstrate?

What values do you need to demonstrate and live?

What beliefs do you need to shift?

Everything starts with our thinking and that creates the way of being.

If you think you need to make money or have more time to be happy, you are wrong.

Happiness comes from inside. It is your choice. You choose to be happy or you choose to be unhappy.

You can be happy in any given moment of your life.

All you need to do is to embody the state of "being" you wish to feel, experience or have.

Think about a few questions and write down who you want to be or become this year.

Contemplate on those questions below:

1. What would I want to experience in life, if money and time were not an issue?

2. How do I want to grow?

3, What do I want to contribute to this world?

4. Who am I? Who am I here?

5. What does a successful life look like for me?

 

Enjoy your growth and learning.

I am looking forward to seeing you soon at:

56. Episode #leadership - Focus on more being less doing

I am always very excited when I have the opportunity to speak about being and coming back to our tru self. 

We developed identities and masks we think are serving us but later on in life, we realise they actually not serving us and they do actually the opposite. 

To live by expectations of others and live by the program we created sometime in the past could create a lot of mixed feelings and unfulfillment.

We can feel loneliness, anger, frustrations and feeling lost or sometime even paralysed.

When we start to look deeper into those feelings we realise it was all created in our mind. The way we decided to think and the way we decided to be perceived shaped our inner world and our behaviours.

As a leader or business owner we need to start our own journey of self-discovery and awareness and understand why we do what we do. Understanding who we truly are when we are not a parent, a boss, an owner, a founder, a mentor or a wife or a husband will change the way you experience the world.

When you become that pure expression of yourself and come back to joyful and loving "you" again you realise that it's so easy to inspire people, motivate them or positively impact other people lives and careers.

Being "authentic you" will help you to feel more confident and calm. Being and feeling calm will help you to lead people the way they feel more understood, heard and seen and also happier and inspired.

Understanding yourself and others is the key to success.

I am so grateful for this podcast and conversation with Suhani Vaidya on this topic.

55. Episode - The way you do small things is the way you do all things #leadership #connection

Leadership is influence.

We are all influencing people around us at every moment. We all are influencer without even thinking about that.

Do you feel the massive responsibility of leadership and how important is to be a leader and great human being all the time? How important is to focus on your behaviour and emotional state that is going to be a positive example for all around you?

Can you create a little smile on your face when see someone around?

Can you call someone or write a comment about their strengths and acknowledge them for things you love about them?

Can we bring more love and attention to each other at this moment and forward?

I am so excited to see and feel more love my friends.

We all need love and connection. That is our core human need.

Enjoy your day

54. Episode - Trust and Engagement#engagement #collaboration #trust

I decided to continue on our last week topic about engagement and how to motivate people.

All what I would like to say is, it all starts with you.

It starts with a leader and their confidence and inner trust. Trust and authentic leadership starts from within.

In the workplace, people can't do their best work if they doubt their leaders, themselves, or others' intentions or capabilities, the direction or viability of the organisation.

Most importantly, if they doubt their own ability to keep up with the demands placed on them or they doubt their importance and contribution it can have massive impact on their behaviour and performance.

The old approach of leadership doesn't work anymore and from long-term perspective it is not going to sustain growth and innovation. 

The new approach of leadership especially in a space of engagement and motivation is coming from understanding others and understanding their thinking and behaviours on a deeper level.

Where do we start when we want to build this level of understanding?

With ourselves.

53. Episode -Leadership and how to approach and think about disengagement #thinking

Thank you for tuning into our new episode.

Today I would like to share the topic of "disengagement" from my perspective and experience as an employee.

We know the trend of disengagement is increasing and we can find thousands of articles and research about millions of people who are not going above and beyond at work and just meeting their job description and it could get worse. This is a problem because most jobs today require some level of extra effort to collaborate with coworkers and meet team and customer needs.

I am talking about new level of leadership moving from "doing, controlling, commanding or tasking" to inspiring, trusting, and influencing positive way. This change and hunger for the great high-performing culture requires shifting in leadership skills focusing on mindset shift, thinking, feeling and behaving in alignment with psychological safety and mental agility.

Create a great culture requires real deep people and social skills. Understanding people is the key to success. How to understand people better? Ask them the right questions, learn active listening to get into their mind and patterns with presence and good intention.

Enjoy
