#182: Neila Steele | Shifting gears in times of uncertainty

Listen on iTunes

Mindset matters in times of uncertainty. In this podcast, Neila Steele will share several mindfulness tips and strategies to help reset and reframe our mindset in difficult times.

Through a variety of tasks and activities, listeners will explore the impact that mindset has on personal and professional performance and the importance of creating a more empowering personal narrative. Today’s podcast is an opportunity to learn how to better deal with the anxiety and stress many people are experiencing due to the uncertainty we face.

Neila Steele graduated from the University of Windsor in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree which led her to accept a position working in the orthopedic ward of a private hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She had the opportunity to take time away from nursing to travel and work in Hiroshima, Japan in 1997. Many doors continued to open for Neila which resulted in her finding her place in the international schooling system as a school nurse and ESL teacher. She worked at the Hiroshima International School until 2007 before moving on to fully authorized IB schools in Baku, Azerbaijan, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Nanjing, China and currently Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.

Neila is a certified English language teacher and has additional elementary teaching qualifications through the University of Southern Queensland in Australia. She has been a certified yoga instructor since 2005 having completed an intense teacher training program in Ubud, Bali. Her path in yoga eventually led her to finding and connecting with the art of mindfulness which she now integrates into many aspects of her personal and professional life.

Neila continues to bring mindfulness to the teaching faculty and the students at Gardens Elementary School in Saudi Arabia. Her goal is to continue to share the positive effects of mindfulness through presenting, speaking, and running workshops around the world. Neila and her husband Andy are the hosts of the podcast called 4 X Mindfulness.

#181: Dale Sidebottom | Can lemons really be turned into lemonade?

Listen on iTunes

Listen on Spotify

To make lemonade out of lemons is to take something that is not so great and turn it into something useful. A prevalent phrase is as follows: “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

Let’s be honest we have all heard this phrase a lot over the years, but what does it really mean? When the cards are stacked against you, what will you do? Sit back and let life suck you up, or get on the front foot and find new ways to bring joy and happiness to the world?

These are two questions that Dale was handed a couple of weeks ago like the rest of the world. Coronavirus is a once in a lifetime tragedy. Join Dale today for a solo podcast as he talks through how he has been able to shift his mindset and make everything that is happening in the world a positive for himself and the people he cares about. This is an excellent flow on from Thursday’s podcast with Sam Moinet.

Listen on iTunes

Listen on Spotify

Today’s guest, Scott Miller, came highly recommended from a good friend and two time veteran of the podcast Andy Vasily. Whenever Andy messages, emails or calls, I listen and like also, he has not let me down. Scott lays it all on the line today’s as nothing is off the table in what can be described as open, honest and raw.

In 2019 at 44 years of age, Scott decided to change one thing about his life… Everything! Not because he didn’t already have a good life and a ton to be grateful for, but because Scott knew he wanted more.

Scott realised he wanted to help people in a way that genuinely made their lives better. And from there, I Coach Connect was created. So after 15 years an Actor, Acting Coach and Leader in Corporate Hospitality. Scott left his job and everything he had ever felt comfortable with and started training to be a Transitional Life Coach.

Below are the best channels to find out more about Scott and reach out and thank him for being on today’s podcast.

#179: Sam Moinet | The power of serving others

Listen on iTunes

Listen on Spotify

Let’s be honest, times are tough, and it can either bring the best or worst out in most people. Today I have the absolute pleasure of sharing Sam Moinet with you all. I don’t want to give away this compelling episode in the notes, but I will say this. If things are not going well at the moment and you are struggling, this episode is for you as Sam and myself lay it all on the table in one of the most open, raw and vulnerable podcasts to date.

Sam is a teacher, speaker and student life coach. He aims to revolutionise emotional support for young people and create lasting change for future generations. Sam solves problems for students by using simple and useful coaching tools and strategies to help students; dream about their future success, believe in themselves and who they are and to achieve in vital aspects of their lives.

Sams journey to Student Breakthrough has been incredibly insightful. From teaching history in the UK for five years, he found that so many students failed to achieve the grades they wanted, lacked self-confidence and were not motivated to achieve their very best. Having all of that experience working with students, Sam started to realise that he wanted to have a more significant impact working with young people to support them in becoming more happy and prosperous. Sam realised that there is more to education than just data, tests and results. He really wanted to help and inspire students to achieve greatness in every corner of their lives.

#177: Sharan Velauthan | Kindness is free & extremely contagious

Listen on iTunes

Listen on Spotify

Just over a month ago, I had the pleasure of sitting in the front row at TEDx Docklands and watching Sharan speak for the first time. To put it simply, I was blown away by the confidence, maturity and kind nature of this superstar. The first thing I said after his talk was that, “I have to have you on the Energetic Radio podcast because you are simply incredible Sharan”.

Sharan Velauthan is a 26-year-old Sri Lankan studying a full-time Masters at RMIT University graduating this May 2020! Sharan grew up with a single mum and kindness and empathy was engrained in him from a young age. After coming to Australia, Sharan has volunteered at the Red Cross, an Ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation of Australia, a workshop facilitator, content creator and strategist, but mainly a Mental Health Advocate using social media to spread a positive message. And, a very humbled and grateful TEDx Speaker!

Sharan’s main aim is to help other people to the best of my capability. In hopes that it causes a ripple effect of kindness.

Dr Tom Nehmy is a Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Healthy Minds. Over the years, Tom has had more than 25,000 people attended his workshops, training programs, invited addresses, and conference presentations across Australia and overseas. Tom has co-authored ten scholarly articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals and was awarded the 2015 Flinders University Vice-Chancellor’s Prize for Doctoral Thesis Excellence. His new book Apples for the Mind is out now.

Tom has a deep and an abiding sense of purpose in his work. For as long as he can remember, we have been so preoccupied with remediating problems that we have not turned our attention to prevention nearly enough. We brush our teeth to stop decay, we bend our knees to lift heavy objects and spare our back, we eat a balanced diet to have a healthy body – but what do we do to establish and maintain excellent mental health? I’m excited that to have Tom on the show today so we can dive deeper into the fantastic work he is doing around the globe.

Growing up all I personally craved was being included and having great friends in my life. Today’s guest has a strong passion for inclusion and removing attitudinal barriers. Maggie Fay is an educator in Ontario, Canada, where she teaches students with Autism and Developmental Disabilities.

Before Maggie became an educator, she started her career in the field of disabilities as a support worker, educational assistant and running a government funding program for adults with disabilities. When Maggie teaches, she thinks about her own boys and how they would want a teacher to respond to them, acknowledge them and treat them.

This year Maggies received the Award of Excellence and was truly honoured to be recognized for my dedication and a strong belief in equity and inclusion.

As well as this, Maggie is a best selling author and all-round superstar.
