Recently I had the pleasure of being a guest on Dr. Greg Ketchum’s “Coach on Demand” podcast.

Dubbed the “Frasier of the Cubicles” by the San Francisco Chronicle, Dr. Greg is a former clinical psychologist-turned executive coach and radio talk show host.  A unique mix of psychology and coaching expertise gives Dr. Greg a great understanding of people and what it takes for career success. Combined with his keen insight into today’s workplace, and infused with his trademark quick wit, Dr. Greg challenges his listeners and clients to reach for career success on their own terms—and to have a good time doing it.  I had a blast in our visit, where we talked about how uncertainty has always been a part of our world. But with Covid 19 and all the disruptions, it has caused uncertainty is now a permanent, unrelenting worldwide fixture rather than something that happens in response to a particular crisis and then recedes. Despite how much we may dislike uncertainty, learning how to not only accept but truly embrace it and the new possibilities it brings is one of those fundamental leadership skills for our time.

Recently I was a guest on Dr. Nancy O’Reilly’s podcast Smart, Amazing Conversations with Dr. Nancy, where we discussed how leaders can develop a possibilities mindset in times of unrelenting uncertainty. Dr. Nancy O’Reilly is the founder of Women Connect4Good foundation and is a trailblazer for women’s empowerment and supporting women in the pursuit of leadership.

Like me, she is an endurance athlete who appreciates that the business world of today requires the same resiliency skills as those of an endurance athlete. During our conversational, yet informative conversation, I felt like turning the tables and asking her about her personal leadership journey (note for one of my 2022 podcasts).

We enjoyed discussing how we really never know what today – or tomorrow – will bring. And the more you’re responsible for, the more stress can result. As women leaders, we need to acknowledge this, prepare ourselves for whatever curveball is coming our way and support other women in doing the same.

Thank you Dr. Nancy for the opportunity!

Recently I was a guest on Zoë Routh’s podcast People Stuff: Dealing with the Tough Stuff in Leadership. Zoë is THE number one leadership guru in Australia. She’s an award-winning leadership expert, speaker, and author of People Stuff (see below) as well as a multi-talented, non-nonsense host and producer.

I really appreciated her approach to preparing and conducting the interview and enjoyed being a guest on her show. Our conversation served as a good reminder that “Leadership Stuff” is the same down under as it is here.
