The COVID pandemic and daily life in general, has put a stress on everyone, regardless of their job title. CEOs and other leaders are no exception. I speak with the author of 'The Broken CEO: How to be the Leader You Always Wanted to Be', Chris Pearse. During our chat, Chris touches on: 1. Defines what a leader is...and isn't, 2. The difference between stress and strain, 3. How meditation helps everyone (even if only for 5min a day), 4. Rest - and what rest really means (It's more than what you might think), 5. What's wrong with the phrase ‘work-life balance’, 6. How can a leader can increase their Influence (no matter where you are in your organization), 7. Coaching (not telling), 8. CEOs supporting employees (inverting the hierarchal pyramid), and 9. Upside down Leadership. A great chat with allot of insights from Chris. You don't need to be a CEO to adapt allot of what Chris has to say. Listen in and let your inner leader loose. Enjoy!
Preparing for the Unexpected is about how people, organizations and communities plan, prepare, test, communicate and respond to sudden unplanned events such as natural and manmade disasters and crises. The show is for everyone who wants an understanding of how plans are created for individuals, organizations and communities and for anyone who wants to know what they can do in their own lives to help protect themselves from unexpected events. There is a myth that disasters happen to others but in reality, they happen to everyone. It's just a matter of when and how well-prepared you are. The greater the level of awareness, communication and knowledge, the quicker one bounces back from adversity. The overall aim of Preparing for the Unexpected is to reduce the suffering, effects and impacts caused as a result of disasters and unexpected life events by increasing knowledge and awareness of Operational Resilience, Business Contingency, Disaster Planning, Crisis Management, and related activities.
