Mind over Matters

Episode 12 - Managing the uncomfortable

From her research, Dee Coxon discovered that there was a huge disconnect between menopause training for women and menopause training for managers.

And because they are two entirely different things, being managed as one, this is where the problem was found to exist. This means that in a workplace environment, managers are just as unsupported as those they are required to support. The result being a lose-lose situation and one that Dee was determined to remedy.

This will be the focus of our podcast discussion today.

Episode 3 - Change Your Mindset, Help your Clients

Imagine that you are giving a party.  You want your guests to be comfortable, to have fun, to have good food and drink, and to have great conversations.

If you see someone standing on their own without anything in their hands, you would offer them a drink, introduce them to someone they might find interesting, and make sure that they understand where the food can be found.  That way the guest can go about their business of enjoying themselves.

This mindset, of being the host of an event, is what helps Julia in all of her businesses.

Darren and I will be riffing as I ask him a few questions and I interject with my own somewhat limited take on things.
