"Purpose in Perth" is a chance to shine a spotlight on the people and organisations out there clearly on a mission to do good and make a change, to spread the impact of the work they do.

Today’s guest is the CEO of nature play. Kelsie Prabawa-Sear. An NFP on a mission to support the mental and physical health of WA kids by growing their connection to nature and community through outdoor play. Child-led play in the outdoors and all the sensory wonder that nature brings.

As a parent of three wonderful growing humans, Kelsie also understands the challenges of parenthood and the important role that we have as advocates for our kids’ childhoods. Its her view that we all have a responsibility to ensure that our kids not only get time in nature as little ones, but also get a future with nature.

I recorded this episode at the end of 2023 and the purpose in Perth podcast series is kicking off now in feb so you’ll hear us chat about that.

We talked about childhood, parenting, mindset and limiting beliefs where nature play came from and how you can get involved.

For high performing CEOs, leaders, business owners and entrepreneurs who doubt their own abilities and worthiness despite their achievements.

Delegation is a funny one.

Most leaders I speak to know they need to do it. They're run off their feet with multiple priorities. Juggling many balls. Exhausted and scattered.

They know that delegation would help them. They know that it would mean...

• achieving more and doing less
• empowering their team and seeing them learn and grow
• seeing their business thrive
• less stress, more time for value-adding activities

Yet... something seems to get in the way. What stops them from delegating?

Tune into this episode to discover:

• The biggest blocks to WHY we don't delegate (even though we know we should) and how to move through them
• The mindset, psychology and beliefs that will support you in letting go of control
• The process for HOW to delegate effectively
• The long term costs of not letting go of work

After just returning from a 3 day retreat down in Dwellingup forest, I just had to share my experience with you!

It was just so deeply nourishing, and I walked away truly filled up, lit up and grounded.

A common running theme behind a heap of my coaching converstaions with business owners lately is how do I create a more passive style business - one that is not completely dependent on me? 

Many are at a point that they're thinking about retiring one day - maybe 5 or 10 years time. And they want to get started on getting things set up NOW, so that they can take a guilt-free holiday, travel the world, and leave a legacy and business that lasts and continues to help people into the future.

I share a sparkling client case study about a client who is now at a point that they can still turn over 8 figures and serve their clients while going on multiple holidays a year, sail around the WA coast, and go on meditation retreats, personal development conferences and hike around Asia. 

In this ep, learn:

• The mindset and belief system that will support you in this space
• The piece that often gets in the way of any 'exit planning'
• The no. 1 skill you need to build to empower your team and build their confidence
• The specific strategies I implemented with this client to help the owner step back

Oh lordy, am I excited to introduce you to this week's guest - Cat Skreiner, Human Design Expert.

Human Design is a little like a personality test on steroids. It uses your birth date and location as the expression of your soul and energetic blueprint, combining psychology and spirituality - a mash up of the Eastern and Western systems... astrology, neuroscience, quantum physics, energetics... all the things!!

It guides you towards living you a roadmap to connect your purpose and energy to what lights you up.

You wouldn't grow a little human without a clear genetic code right?

So why grow a business without one?

Your business DNA is your vision, purpose, mission, values and behaviours.

Its the energetic blueprint of your business, the unique essence that makes your business what it is, its putting into words and expressing the heart, the soul, the lifeblood that runs through and fuels your business.

And it informs EVERYTHING in your business - your hiring, your strategic plan, your goals, your team culture, your service offerings, your marketing... all the things! 

With it, you are rock solid on who you are, where you're going and you grow with intention, gusto and confidence.

Without it, you might see some growth at first, but it will be all over the place. And you'll likely waste precious time on hiring the wrong team members that will then stagnate your growth and suck up your precious time that you could have spent growing your mission.

In this ep, you'll learn the difference between purpose, vision, mission, values and behaviours, why you need them and what they inform without your business.

Hiring a new team member? Perhaps doing your FIRST EVER interview and have no idea what to ask?

Well, from someone who has spent the last 12+ years in the HR, recruitment and leadership development world then let me introduce you to my 7 fave interview questions - not only are they fun and unique, they are also very powerful in extracting the type of information you'll want to know about your newest team member.

There's no doubt about it - most leaders will easily admit to avoiding having to give feedback, particularly the empathic ones!

Done well, the learner takes a step forward and performance improves. Done poorly (or avoided altogether) and the reverse happens.

So how do we give feedback in a way that INSPIRES and motivates higher performance, rather than de-motivates?

A team of psychologists from Stanford, Yale, Columbia, and elsewhere recently set out to explore that question.

OMG I just LOVED this episode with my Accountant (and friend) Diana Todd where we talked wealth creation, human design, living your best life, childhood conditioning around money, money manifestation tips and amplifying your impact.

Diana Todd is an incredible registered tax agent and the founder of Balance Tax Accountants, an online accounting firm specialising in creative industries and small businesses. They are magical at taking the stress out of tax through systems and education, empowering small business owners to get control of their business finances.

In this episode we covered so much juicy stuff...

• Diana's journey into finance and WHY she does what she does
• How you can learn to trust yourself to hold more money and expand into how much you can hold
• Diana's tips for adding more flow, fire, fun and intention towards your money
• How to let go of your past conditioning about money and unravel the layers towards YOUR truth

This was such a delight for me to record - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

That age old question... am I doing what I'm MEANT to be doing?

When we're not in alignment with our true purpose, we know it. 

We come home exhausted, we feel out of sorts. We're drained and often don't feel lit up or inspired by life or work. Often our 'egos' are running the show - forcing us forward from a place of "how we can impress someone or look good" rather than being run by something from deep within.

When we ARE in alignment with our true purpose and taking action from that place, its a completely different experience. Energy ignits, things flow. We feel inspired and lit up and motivated to make an impact. 

After a decade in the 'purpose space', these are the 10 signs I've found that you've found your purpose work - enjoy and let me know how many feel true for you!

You've got a brand that attracts your ideal customer - but do you have one that speaks to your ideal candidate?

Right now, for the first time in many years, we're seeing a big rate of job hopping, switching and salary negotiations - in what is often referred to as an "Employee's Market'. Where employees are really getting the pick of the bunch and holding alot of power. They can afford to be picky and it means that businesses are finding they really need a strong value proposition to clearly articulate why a candidate should join them.

Q to you: Why should an A grade candidate choose to work with you over someone else? What is the value you offer to a new candidate?

This is called your EVP: Employer Value Proposition.

And now, more than ever, your EVP needs to include flexible options. The latest research shows 35% of Aussies would change jobs or take a pay cut if they got to work from home 2-3 days a week. So if you want to attract good people, you'll need to factor in flexibility. Because there's no doubt about it - work is only going to get more flexible, progressive and technology-focused and businesses will need to keep up if they want to attract good people.

Tune into this podcast episode to discover:

• How to unpack and articulate your employer brand and EVP
• The latest research on workplace flexibility 
• How to build your workplace flexibility strategy
• Free/low cost employee benefits ideas and how to choose

“Profit is like oxygen. You need it to survive, but if you think that oxygen is the purpose of your life then you’re missing something” - Peter Drucker

How the world has changed...

People are looking for more than just money as a reward for what they do.

How people look for work and what they look for is changing

Millennials are 80% more attracted to purpose-driven companies

Purpose driven companies enjoy remarkably more growth, greater profits, better loyalty, better retention and greater personal fulfilment in their work

Despite this, few companies are reaching for the benefits of purpose!

After attending Dr Joe Dispenza's 7 day Advanced Workshop Retreat in London, I've had lots of questions about the experience.

This podcast sums up around 10-15% of it. I have to admit, it just scratches the surface of what we all experienced, which was hard to put into words. It was a BIG week, 14 hour days, intense learning and lots of practical meditation and breathwork training.

The role of CEO is the most powerful, exciting, impactful and influential role in a business. 

What the CEO controls accounts for more than 45% of a company’s performance (more in small businesses!). Which also means that serving as a CEO can be all-consuming, lonely, and insanely stressful.

80% of your experience and success as a CEO comes down to mindset.

After partnering with 7 and 8 figure CEOs of small businesses for over a decade now, there are certain patterns in their mindset that I've noticed. Certain beliefs holding them back and getting in the way of them reaching their next level.

Tune into this episode to learn:

• The 3 biggest mindset blockers for 7 and 8 figure CEOs that I've witnessed over the last decade
• What the new, successful beliefs looks like and what's required to make these shifts
• Where you need to be prioritising your time as a CEO of a 7 or 8 figure business
• Why you need to uplevel your beliefs to uplevel your business
• The biggest unconscious belief that could be holding back your business growth without you realising it

The cost of replacing a good team member is estimated to cost between 16% and 213% of their annual salary. This means an $80k team member is likely to cost your business between $40k and $150k depending on their role responsibility.

This starts to make sense when you take into account the costs around:

• recruitment (ads, assessment costs, recruitment time)
• onboarding time
• training (in-house and external courses)
• lost time on productivity
• impact on morale 
• impact on other team members who have to pick up the slack
• impact on customers/clients 
• lost knowledge that leaves with them

Not to mention how heart broken you can feel after pouring time and energy into an awesome new team member, only to see them leave without any warning! One that you imagined staying with you forever! OK, maybe not forever but a few years at least!

So why do people leave?

And why do others stay?

It all comes down to, of course... human psychology!

Tune into this podcast to discover:

• Why people go and how you can help them to stay
• The universal human needs of every team member to hold onto your good ones
• The one thing you need to track to improve your retention today

And it all comes down to understanding how an introvert's brain works...

In simple terms, their brains and processing style is different to extraverts - so, to get the best out of them, we need to work WITH their brains and natural incredible styles.

Tune into this episode to learn:

• 6 powerful tips to harness the voice of your introverts and build their confidence
• What NOT to do with an introvert in a meeting
• The undervalued benefits that introverts play in teams
• Which online tools can support you in accessing their voices
• How extraverts can sometimes be part of the problem (!)
• 1 incredibly powerful practical strategy for building introvert's confidence DURING group meetings
• What an "Ambivert" is and 6 signs you are one!

As a self-confessed recovering people pleaser, this is a topic close to my heart and one which I know A LOT about.

This if for you if you're...

• Tired of saying YES to social events you don't want to go to
• Done with saying YES to extra work when you're already burnt out
• Done with putting off the 'hard conversations' you know you need to 
• Done with putting everyone else's needs before your own, leaving you drained, depleted and running on empty
• Ready to learn how to speak up for yourself and your own truth
• Embody the most confident, empowered version of you

People pleasing plays a part in MANY areas of our lives. At work, at home, in our friendships, with our health.

It runs deep too with this people pleasing style of behaviour often being rewarded and encouraged from care-givers early on in life.

Tune into this powerful episode and you'll walk away with an awakening on;

• What people pleasing REALLY means and how its damaging your relationships
• What happens when you choose 'harmony over truth' (Type 9's out there I'm looking at you!)
• How to have difficult conversations and assertively communicate your truth
• The mindset shift required to fill up your own cup AND someone else's

Did you have an easy or hard childhood?

How much did it impact who you are today?

The jury's still out in exactly how much nurture vs nature plays a part in forming our personalities but regardless - there's no doubt that how we were raised, who we were surrounded by and the messages we learnt as kids has shaped us in great ways.

In this episode, I introduce you to Enneagram - a personality profiling tool that goes deep to reveal your unconscious motivators in life, your fears, needs and... blind spots!

I'm so obsessed with this tool that I wanted to create a FREE 3 minute leadership version specifically for small business owners, team leaders, entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches and CEOs. 

This episode is for you if you're ready to BREAK FREE from the rat race and create a business and light that deeply fulfils and lights you up!

I walk you through what the "Alignment Method" (AM) is and how you can make it work for you to create a fulfilling business, career and life that feels aligned to the vision and purpose you're here for in this world.

The AM provides clarity when you’ve got a big, tricky decision to make. It helps keep you on track with what matters most and moves you closer towards the direction of what’s most ‘aligned’ i.e. with your vision/purpose and values.

It serves in helping to remove the distractions that can come from the ‘ego’ and re-align you to be led with your higher purpose/vision. The beauty of this, is that it will ultimately support you in building a business (and life) that is your own - one that is unique to you and therefore one intrinsically FEELS good, fulfills you and lights you up. (rather than one that might look good on the outside but leave you burnt you out or feeling empty on the inside).

Does this sound like you?

• You're a leader of a small business and still feel like you're in 'recovery mode' after the stress of Covid
• You've had some BIG decisions to make over the last couple of years and you feel like its pulled you a bit off track
• You've had moments of losing your spark and passion for your business
• You're wearing all the hats and have been feeling a bit scattered in trying to keep on top of everything
• Some days you wonder whether this business thing is all worth it

If so, this episode is here to reconnect you with what matters most, provide the framework for reconnecting with your spark and guide you back on track with your most inspired, lit up life.

In this ep, you'll learn:

• What happens when you don't make 'aligned' decisions in business (i.e. decisions from 'ego')
• What 'ego-led' decision making can looks like
• The core principles you need to move through the AM for yourself
• How to create your own decision making framework to guide any big decision or life change that's thrown your way
• The formula for living and leading a life that feels good, authentic and fulfilling 

Enjoy!

Meet Wild Feminine Cycle Coach and recently International Coach of the Year, Charlotte Pointeaux. Also my Accountability Buddy in our first mastermind with Ellie Swift! We hit it off from the get go, sharing our fears and dreams and found we had so much in common.

I was breastfeeding my 5 month old baby girl at the time we met and hence was deeply in my 'feminine' yet was still working in a business and working in a way that felt very masculine - relying on pushing, striving and hustling to get things done.

Charlotte (who has 3 kids might I add!) got me started in understanding how to work with both my feminine and masculine in a powerful way. She taught me about the lunar and menstrual cycles and how they play a part in achieving our dreams and more.

As a driven, high achiever, I’d loved the idea of harnessing the power of my cycles to achieve AND rest more. And the moment I realised that I don’t have to be “on” all the time - that I can have moments where I give myself permission to go hard and then other times where I can rest, bath and meditate - I was in LOVE!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to get started with menstrual and moon cycle tracking (for beginners!)
• How to achieve AND rest more by harnessing the power of your cycles
• How to move through ‘imposter syndrome’ in leadership and expand into your next level self
• How women can work with their 28 day cycle in a 24 hour (“man’s”) world
• How to harness your superpowers, be more of yourself and welcome your inner introvert and extravert
