Self safety - Building Confidence - Ep 106

Creating safety within ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do.
When panic, anxiety, stress or catastrophising hit us our brain goes into fight, flight or freeze to protect us.
If we can show our brain that it is physically safe then, we can turn our logical brain back on to keep moving through the challenge we are facing.

Getting things in writing - Building Confidence - Ep 103

When we are not being treated well at work its important that we have our own back and cover ourselves, getting things in writing allows us to have in writing different arrangements, agreements and directions. This is important if we are in a situation when someone is trying to twist our words or to make us be seen in a bad light with no evidence. In this episode, I go through different scenarios when this would be useful and how to go about it.
