This episode was prompted by a request from one of the members of my Women Leading community who asked how she could build more personal resilience around the impact of decisions she was making at work and be a little more āTeflon coatedā.
Perhaps you relate ā you need to make tough decisions as a leader but you take things to heart, you care about people and their wellbeing and sometimes the decisions you make can have significant impact on others.
Or perhaps you are the person who is implementing the decisions that others have made and cascading unwelcome news or making unpopular changes. You may be involved in a restructure for example or taking a team member through performance management.
Now, I didnāt want to call this āhow to care less as a leaderā because I donāt think that those of us who care a lot would embrace the idea of caring less. Caring, having empathy, being conscious of the impact of our decisions on people - these are all wonderful traits for a leader to have and may well be a huge strength of yours as a leader.
However, if caring has no boundaries around it then you could be heading towards sleepless nights, self-doubt and possibly even burnout.
In this episode Iām going to explore 3 insights and 3 tools and techniques to help you if you are someone who cares too much as a leader.

When I was sent a book called The Emotional Overdraft I instinctively knew that this was a topic that was going to resonate with me personally and you as listeners to this podcast.
An emotional overdraft is when you as a leader habitually overcome your employerās challenges at the cost of our own physical and mental health. Sound familiar?
I am seeing this happening a LOT at the moment with the women within my Women Leading community so I was excited to dive into the topic with the bookās author Andy Brown.
We discussed:
The cost of going too deep into your emotional overdraft How to start paying it back What behaviours or drivers create our emotional overdraft The role of management skills and influencing in changing a culture which relies on people being emotionally overdrawn How to approach urgency and filling short term gaps more strategically How the emotional overdraft shows up outside of workMy nameās Carla Miller, leadership coach, author and trainer.

Many workplaces are dominated by short term thinking, intense pressure to produce immediate results and a focus on growth at all costs. Sound familiar? This short term focus often leads to poor decision making, poor long term performance and risks employee burnout.
In todayās episode my guest Cath Bishop makes a powerful case for implementing what she calls Long Win Thinking. Cath knows a bit about winning as a three time Olympian with a silver medal and a fascinating career in diplomacy within conflict zones!
We discuss:
Why workplaces benefit from focusing on the Long Win
How Cathās mindset around winning shifted across her 3 Olympic Games and how she felt at the start line of her medal-winning Olympic race
What insights Cath has taken from her diplomatic experience into leadership coaching
How early in life we start thinking winning is important
Separating performance from results and winning
Cathās 3 C model for implementing long win thinking in your team

If youāve noticed unhelpful patterns of behaviours playing out in your team or if youāve got a tense relationship with a colleague then this weekās episode can provide insight into whatās causing those patterns.
My guest, leadership coach and podcast host Rebekah Whitaker shares why we get pulled into the ādrama triangleā and what we can learn from Transactional Analysis to understand ourselves and our relationships with others better.
Transactional Analysis is new to me so it was really interesting to understand the ādrama triangleā and reflect on how it plays out in the workplace and the role we can play as leaders in creating more positive behaviours and relationships.
In this episode Rebekah provides an introduction to this concept and Iām delighted that sheās running a workshop within Women Leading this autumn to bring the next level of insights into how leaders can reduce drama within their teams.
This is the Influence & Impact podcast for women leaders, helping you confidently navigate the ups and downs of leadership and feel less alone on your journey as a leader.

As leaders weād all like to have happy teams but how do we create the right environment to achieve that? I interview Richard Clarke, creator of the popular Happy Teams substack newsletter, about his experience building a company centred on team happiness and the work he does helping companies create happier teams.
We discussā¦
What makes people happy at work The 5 factors that influence team happiness Who is responsible for your teamās happinessRichard Clarke is the founder and ex-CEO of Secret Source, an IT company based in Spain. In 2014 he had a theory, if he set up a company whose main KPIs were team and client happiness then the team would collaborate better, be more aligned with their clients and perform better and all the traditional measures of success, profit, revenue, growth would naturally follow. For 10 years Richard studied the science of happiness in the workplace and applied it in his company. In 2022, with almost 50 employees Richard handed over the role of CEO and he now dedicates his life to sharing his knowledge. He writes, speaks and teaches leaders and organisations how to use the science of happiness and wellbeing to build better teams.
