In today's episode we discuss the high cost of avoidance when it comes to addressing poor performance in various areas of life and the negative impact that underperformers can have on teams, decreasing overall productivity and morale.
Prepare to dive deep in this heart-to-heart episode of The Spitfire Podcast, where our fearless host Lauren LeMunyan gets real about the nitty-gritty of vulnerability and rejection. In a candid recount of a recent coach meet and greet event, Lauren peels back the layers of her own vulnerability. Imagine standing in a room filled with top-tier coaches, their resumes shining brighter than the chandelier overhead. That's where Lauren found herself, grappling with a wave of inadequacy.
We've all heard about burnout. The World Health Organization defines burnout as an occupational phenomenon “conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.” But do you know the first sign of burnout? In today's video Lauren sheds light on an often ignored and sometimes praised signal of burnout. Can you notice it in yourself or others?
We've all had a lot going on. Some days felt like they lasted an eternity, but now it feels like we're losing summer. But before we cry ourselves to sleep longing for sunshine, let’s talk about vacation.
Today we’re talking about taking a vacation and coming back rested and recharged. I cannot tell you how many of my clients do not know how to do this.
Confession: I suck at self-care.
Confession: I am nasty when I don't take care of myself.
Confession: I need help taking care of myself.
Ever notice how what we do best for other's we suck at doing for ourselves? Even coaches aren't immune - we're human too!
Hear what Lauren's doing about it and what you can do to get real about your self-care.
What role does isolation play in your mental health and self-care strategy?
Business owners and entrepreneurs are notorious for locking themselves away and keeping their head down all in the name of success. People may offer help, but only they know how to do it "right".
Isolation is no joke and has real impacts on your perspective with reality. In just a few hours of being alone, your sense of time, space and self-worth are dramatically impacted.
Community, as the antithesis of isolation, creates a strong foundation of accountability, support and vulnerability.
Our guest this week, is someone who posted an extremely powerful message about this very topic and I had to sit down with her to talk about her own journey with isolation, community and mental health.
