Join us - Seasons Leadership Co-Founder Susan Ireland and Communications and Marketing Leader for Seasons Leadership Lauren Penning - for this inspiring discussion with Andreea Niculescu and Laura Swapp of one and three (and our 50th episode!).
 
Show notes:
Get ready to challenge the status quo and bring a dose of joy to your world as the dynamic duo behind one and three talk about the last 18 months since they were featured on Season 3 of the Seasons Leadership Podcast. Our conversation traverses through the seasons of life, embracing the cyclical nature and inherent changes that come with leadership and parenthood. We explore the potential of simple, profound actions that can create ripples of positivity, and the transformative impact of practices like meditation on our lives and leadership styles.

Have you ever contemplated the power of your intuition and personal values while making critical decisions in your leadership journey? We address this compelling aspect with Laura and Andreea, discussing the often undervalued power of intuition, its historical gender association, and how to harness it to your advantage. We then navigate towards understanding the magical blend of data and intuition in decision making, offering invaluable insights to help you develop your intuition and uphold your personal values.

We further delve into the process of building trust and transparency, emphasizing the importance of cultivating values and intuition from an early age. But it's not all theory and no action; we examine the idea of taking on challenges for 90 days to catalyze personal development. Finally, we underscore the strength of being present in every moment to bring a spark of joy to others. We end the discussion sharing what we are going to let go of this fall (unfortunately Andreea exists the conversation early due to technology difficulties)!

About Laura and Andreea: Together, Laura and Andreea are one and three. They believe there is one unassailable truth: we are interconnected–with each other and with the planet.

Fall reflections are running through my mind

Fall means running Cross Country. This sport has shaped so many of my fall seasons of life. First as a student athlete and now as a coach. This sport, which is all about racing across varied terrain, takes on an almost mythical quality for me and I suspect many other runners that are drawn to this open-air competition.

Reboot your recharge routine

Debbie's previous blog "recharge your leadership batteries" offers some timely insights to help you reboot your own practice of "me time." She shares this important reminder that inspires me to take time for myself, "by taking time off not only was I benefiting, but I was giving someone else the opportunity to stretch and grow and show themselves and others what they could do."
