The Super Fantastic Leadership Show

This week’s show explores a question that can be a real game changer in our day-to-day lives. It has everything to do with the way we relate to thoughts and more so, the stream of thoughts that can create a full-blown story in our minds. And, if you’ve been paying attention, you can begin to see that these stories are often filled with the doom and gloom version that lead us into a great more deal...

This week Marta and Daphne are at it again with another great question: when was the last time you failed? While this doesn’t seem like a very savory topic to discuss, the question is loaded with a lot of learning. After all, isn’t that what “failing” is all about? Can we learn if we don’t fail? And, given that, is there really such a thing as failure to begin with? If we haven’t ever failed, does...

We explore one of Daphne’s favorite questions to ask her clients…and also to reflect on herself. When we feel like we’re just surviving, life isn’t very fun. But, how do we ensure we can keep thriving at work and at life when we’re so busy and have so many things we’re responsible for? Well, not too worry because Daphne and Marta have some answers! And more great news! Daphne’s new book, Waking Up...

This week’s episode was born from the stuff of life; in particular Daphne’s life when her significant other required an unplanned surgery. Of course, that was one of those big moments when life decided all other things we would be paused to allow her to take care of a person in need. But there are those other times in life when we need to hit pause too and hopefully, we know how to do that skillfu...

This week we are talking about how we make changes in our leadership and our lives. Have you noticed that most of the time we make changes from a place of finding our current reality totally unbearable? And we only focus on that which we don’t already have or what we think we need? Yes, this is an age-old pattern for most of us. But, what would happen if we came to change from first being grateful...

This week we sit in another relevant question for all of you great leaders at work and in life: How do you do goals? This is a question that is all about the many ways we can relate to goals. Sometimes we have a very healthy relationship to them but more times than not, not so healthy. If you’ve felt like you were sacrificing life and limb to achieve a goal or completely avoiding setting any at al...

This week’s show begins a new era for the podcast. We are stepping into the world of questions as a new energy and way of being on the show. You’ll notice some changes but what remains the same is our commitment to making your leadership, and your life, all that it can be. This week we ask an important question about delegating: What is your team learning when you delegate to them? This is a quest...

Ah, career development. Nothing could sound more dry and uninspiring. It can feel like something we “have to do” and remind us of the next series of meetings we’ll be pulled into that opens with the cheesiest of cheesy ice breakers. Well, this weeks show is going to change all of that. It turns out that developing ourselves is the key to having a long and and enjoyable career and it’s what keeps u...

It’s an age-old issue that many of us can complain about all too often; we’re all really busy. While we don’t ascribe to falling into that mantra too often, there certainly can be those moments when we do actually have a lot of things to get completed, all of which can feel like they have the same impending due date. It’s in those moments that we can really start to freak out and feel overwhelmed....

This week we are asking you to answer a question: How productive do you feel when you’re sleep deprived, hungover and totally exhausted? Probably not very productive at all. In this week’s show, we have a lively conversation about the many ways that we are energy machines that require the restoration of our fuel every day. Not just once a year on vacation. We also make the point that trying to onl...

This week we talk all about saying “thank you” and expressing gratitude. It’s such a simple concept yet, it is also filled with nuances. What stops us from being grateful and expressing gratitude? Could there be a time when saying thank you might not be the best idea? In this week’s show we answer all of your questions and more and give you some really great actionable tips about the ways you can...

This week we talk about why we need to keep ourselves as present as we can even when we are working to achieve a goal sometime in the future. As it turns out, we are only ever here right now. What’s really true is that how present we are right now drives the quality of the actions we take. This has a great deal to do with how we achieve our goals or not. Another key part of this week’s conversatio...

This week is all about getting ourselves to see how we can stop working so hard. We start off by wondering how we came up with the phrase “hard work” in the first place. Why does work need to be hard? We don’t know either. Of course, if you’re doing anything you don’t want to do it will feel hard. And this is sometimes what is at the root of the issue. We also explore how to make the shift around...

In this week’s show we are talking about the “C” word-Change. And we’re revealing the big secret about managing change. You should know going in that we don’t really manage it though. It’s happening whether we like it or not. That’s actually the first step in experiencing less difficulty with change. Change is reality. Nothing is permanent and that’s what this show is all about. How do we relate t...

In this week’s show, Daphne really gets on her soapbox with Marta as she talks about one of her least favorite questions asked to teams by their managers. As with most things, the question is well-intended and meant to be supportive. However, what usually happens in the response sounds a lot like crickets. Listen in  this week! Oh, and let us know if there are any ways that we can support you...

This week we answer a question that everyone wonders about: does mindfulness at work actually work? Well, we first need to understand a few things. First, what do we mean by mindfulness? Are we just talking about meditation? The answer to that question is no. And then, does mindfulness work for every person and if so, what are we using it for? We dive into the nuances of mindfulness and meditation...

If you’ve ever wondered how to really get your stress under control, this week’s show is for you. We’re back this week to support your leadership with some of the key tips and tricks to working with this thing we call “stress”. Here’s one tip we’ll give you right off the bat; not all stress is bad and what really matters isn’t the stress itself. It’s how we relate to it that really makes the diffe...

In this week’s show, Daphne and Marta discuss the common challenges with meditation and how to overcome them. More and more people are coming to the practice of meditation and mindfulness as a way to manage stress and calm the mind that seems to chatter at us reliably.

On this week’s show we talk about how to really say no. The good news is that you can do it without all of the guilt and concern of letting people down.

In this week’s show we talk all about an age old complaint; I’m too busy! It is has been around since the dawn of time.

On the show this week, we’re asking a pretty powerful question: Are you a joyful leader? It’s different than asking if you’re a happy one.
