Thriving Matters Podcast

Change up Your Future

Jerome Lamarque is all about MOJO and believes its the the choices we make, not chance, that determines our destination.

 

Jerome helps Dads in Business get the equilibrium right between home life and business success- something he didn't have as a young man himself.

 

The last 15 years has been the most fantastic roller coaster educational ride for Jerome, his journey from student to business coach in the science behind goal setting and achieving has taught him so much that he now works with Dad's in their 'masculine energy' to change up their future.

 

Listen on as we delve into how Jerome brings together today's men in a supportive community that honours respectful masculine energy for strong relationships. We talk about keeping your goals simple, with intent and mission, to create the ecosystem of 'grown-up behaviours' for nurturing thriving relationships in life and work.

 

This quote by Elbert Hubbard, a philosopher and writer, sums it up nicely:

“Many people fail in life, not for the lack of abilities, brain or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal.”

Every Second is Precious - Catalyst for Good

This amazing journey of thriving in life work that Sahan shares in this conversation will resonate with many, especially as it's a search for inner wealth and community contribution.

 

Sahan left a highly successful corporate career to pursue some deeply personal questions that shifted his mental focus from 'I to we'. "If I was to die tomorrow, would I have any regrets?' and "What can I do that would be of service?"

 

Sahan shares his fears during the first 18 months after leaving his corporate role, then his focus on sharing his expertise in resilience, emotional intelligence and mindfulness with prisoners in Sri Lanka with the audacious goal of transforming 1 billion lives through Emotional Intelligence.

EiSHT 'listening to give' life skills.

What a ride over the last 12 months! Caroline O'Connor is a 'Can Do Gal' who made a huge career change just as Covid 19 hit Ireland in March 2020.

 

In our conversation we talk about her thriving skills in navigating the set up a new business from scratch, leaving her successful job, taking on post school education, being a parent to her two teenage daughters and adapting to four lockdowns!

 

Listen in as Caroline illustrates how she has put into action, a safe mental health well-being program for youth that has a strong emotional intelligence foundation.

Making Everything Achievable!

In this episode with Kaye-Maree Dunn, we explore her thriving environment for Life and business within her Maori heritage of 'making everything achievable'. Kaye-Maree shares her journey of being an entrepreneur after many years in government and corporate. She cares deeply about people and their livelihood, community building and cultural heritage.

 

Thriving in life and work isn't always easy and Kaye-Maree is open about her vulnerability and openness to challenging how she leads and lives, and how putting in place systems and processes has been lifegiving for her personally as well as for her team members. We talk 'imposter syndrome', 'levelling up' and 'digging deep' and recognising 'blind spots'.

With a passion for clear communication, nurturing community relationships, self-directed growth and sustainable wellbeing - Kaye-Maree brings heart and mind together to create a legacy that benefits many.

 

"What Can I Learn from You?"

Our conversation today was richly cultural bringing education, community and student voice together so well. Thriving as an educational leader in New Zealand is deeply respectful of Maori traditions, honouring the heritage and nurturing a presence that younger generations can make sense of and learn from. Simon shared his recent welcoming and commissioning ceremony, the stunning Maori bone necklace and cape, gifts he received that were personally made for him. The strength of community care for each other between students, families, teachers and elders is evident. Listen on as Simon shares his 'thriving' rituals that have successfully helped him in balancing work and home life as well as his firm philosophy that the voice of youth should be encouraged and we should get out of their way. 'Show faith in your young people - they have more capacity to change the world than we ever did.'

True Leadership Has No Gender

I was keen to connect with Sarah on the release of her recently published book 'Gender Dimensions in Leadership - Reflections, Perceptions and Perspectives on Inclusivity.' It has been written for executives, coaches, anyone in a leadership role.

 

Our conversation focused on the premise, backed up by substantial data and research that true leadership has no gender. That equality matters to us all.

 

Understanding dynamics of inclusivity, equality and diversity is essential in the field of management & leadership. Sarah Drijfhout shares her ideas that will enable us to discover options and opportunities that we could not have imagined with traditional thinking and approaches.

 

I hope you enjoy our conversation- you can hear and feel the passion Sarah has for her work and her belief that we all can make a difference to leadership needed right now and for an uncertain future.
