The Chief Psychology Officer

Ever feel like your brain is stuck on autopilot, falling prey to biases and inefficiencies? Dulcie Swanston and Dr Iain Price join us again, offering enlightening insights into the art of personal effectiveness and the power of neuroplasticity. Through their dynamic exchange, they unveil approaches to work smarter, transforming "imposter syndrome" into manageable "imposter moments," and fostering stronger professional and personal relationships. Their strategies aren't just about productivity; they're about nurturing a reflective mind and using social connections to reshape perceptions of ourselves and our capabilities.
We all grapple with self-doubt and the inner critic, but it's how we turn these experiences into actionable wisdom that counts. This episode takes you through a journey of understanding imposter thinking and provides practical applications to use this awareness in your everyday life. You'll grasp the concept of the 'Sphere of Influence' and how it can streamline your focus on what truly matters. And as we discuss the liberating effects of sorting concerns into areas of control, influence, and acceptance, you'll learn to manage pressure with grace and self-compassion.
But that's not all; we also unlock the secrets of maintaining a childlike imagination in the face of life's complexities. Discover how simple breathing techniques can ignite your cognitive functions, unleash creativity, and propel your personal growth. Guests Dulcie and Iain share personal anecdotes and professional insights that underscore the transformational effects of mindfulness and self-compassion.
