Understanding Your Gamer

7/12/2020

 
Leigh has been there and done that - she has seen herself as highly successful online but been unemployed and on benefits in real life. Her advice is - "When someone who games, talks to someone who doesn't game, you may as well be talking Japanese because if you don't know the lingo, then a lot of miscommunication can happen....You don't have to like gaming, but if you like or love the person who is gaming, then understanding what they are saying does help :-)

Finding Your Voice

5/30/2020

 
Young people have much to say but how do they find an outlet for that expression without being intimidated by doing something new or meeting new people? Meet Eloise who started to see the benefits of the Social Justice team in year 9 at school and now sees it as part of who she is and her purpose in life. It wasn't always easy but it was worth every step and she is still just at the beginning!

Losing your job without losing yourself

4/26/2020

 
Are you a professional who has lost their job, working from home, concerned about the constant changes in legislation and business advice and found their sense of self spinning like a top? My guests today are three women who offer a very sensitive perspective of finding the new opportunities in amongst the unsettlement of Covid-19 Lockdown. They have an 'I will do whatever it takes' attitude, but that does not mean they did not have to dig deep and remember their foundations and values in order to live that without adding to their stress.

The confusion and unease around initial changes to work practices meant these women had to address the stress and reassess how to make decisions. There are also some amazing insights for raising girls in the future - if we can show our girls that you are who you are in your essence and that can't be defined or boxed (by a profession or a title) they are then prepared for everything that comes.

Criticism in Families

4/10/2020

 
Parents can be full of helpful advice, yet it can get heard by adolescents as criticism. Listen to Gabe, Annette and Lucy for some insights into how we develop the way we hear words and how intention and reception can be very different. This two part series is an incredible opportunity to consider the impact of the way we communicate in relationships, in our families. Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill consider what criticism looks, sounds and feels like and how that plays out for children, teens and adults alike.

Self-Care in Health-Care

4/2/2020

 
Our nurses around the world are on the front line in a workplace we have, perhaps, taken for granted for too long. We applaud them, sometimes in the streets, recently openly around the globe. Yet, have we trained them to be able to self-care to the level that is needed to be able to sustain the level of work that is now called for to keep them healthy and well in times of long hours and high stress at work? Listen to two nurses, Shushila and Bianca, who have walked this path, burnt out and then re-trained themselves to be able to share a different way of supporting themselves to support others. Joining them are two mental health care workers Gabrielle Caplice and Annette Baker who are the support service for a number of front-line nurses and speak from what many of the nurses they support have shared with them, and have offered to be shared with many more, so we can support each other more truly. 
We can only truly honour our nurses
​by encouraging them to honour themselves first.  

The Honest Truth

12/2/2018

Truth and honesty are foundational tenets of most school and workplace mission statements, but I would ask, how can we consider what the truth is if we don't first know how to be honest with ourselves or others? Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill unravel why we may not want to be honest but why it is a matter of future health and wellbeing.
This is the last post for the year - see you in 2019 - don't forget to listen back to some of the other 2018 shows and share away!
A lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Are We Underestimating The Heart?

10/28/2018

The Scourge of Shame

10/14/2018

 
How much does shame influence the decisions we make and the behaviours we have taken as our normal? Jean Gamble talks us through shame and regret and teases out the different types of shame - toxic, functional and vicarious shame. What if there is a way to re-frame our thinking? Get snug as a bug in a rug and perhaps a pen and paper - you may want to take notes!

Writing Magic - Writing with Confidence

9/23/2018

 
Do we consider that we can all write? Good speakers rarely consider those skills can be transferred to the page, and therefore there is an element of mastery that is needed that goes way beyond the need to be the best. My guests in the studio are Lydia Hamilton and Mandy Newman, the wonders behind Literary Giants a project with a mission to improve the quality and standard of writing around the world. This show will be relevant for teachers, parents and students themselves. How willing are we to be the change we want to see in our expression and equipping our next generation to be critical thinkers?
