What’s Your Work?

22-11-2021 • 1 hr 9 mins

"Is this point of view serving me?"

Alex is back to catch us up on the fallout from her previous podcast, while Nana reflects at the end of his time with the team. Alex shares what she has noticed after starting the conversation with herself of where she is going, her deeper connection to her process, and her relationship with accountability - as well as how her mindsets around all these topics, and how they affect her outcomes. Then Nana reflects on how his confidence has grown over the last six months, how his mindset has shifted during that process, and discovering new abilities that he didn’t know he had. Together, Alex and Nana offer a brilliant example of self-reflection, with bravery and honesty, and unearth some real gold about the perspectives we form on ourselves - and how we can choose to look at ourselves anew.
