The ‘Catching the Octopus‘ podcast has been created as a platform to help leaders, business owners and achievers tap into the inner secrets to success. It aims to showcase not only successful strategies and mindset that lead to shifting from good to great, but also how influential our own inner connections are at propelling us there. Strategies and mindset give us clarity on what to do in order to achieve, but it is who we become that elevates us to the highest possible level. Although this is not a wellbeing podcast, it will touch on aspects of how success is not always just pushing forward, but also how it relies strongly on reflection inward. It will be reframing success and achievement to become more than just a desired shift from surviving to thriving and will focus on how we can develop a business, career or life that is flourishing in all aspects.

E88 – Women, Leadership, and the Power of Self-Awareness with Rosalind Cardinal A life-changing cancer diagnosis gave Rosalind Cardinal the opportunity to reassess everything—her career, her purpose, and the impact she wanted to have. Through six months of brutal treatment, she built a bucket list, and at the top of it was starting her own business. Now, she helps women navigate leadership, career transitions, and breaking through the invisible barriers that hold them back. With insights from a focus group of over 500 women worldwide, she has explored why many female leaders feel stuck at the glass ceiling—sometimes questioning if they even want to break through it. She sheds light on the unconscious biases in recruitment, the hidden gaps in research that overlook female perspectives, and the cultural norms that shape how women are perceived in leadership compared to men. In this episode, we delve into bias, culture, and the power of curiosity-driven self-awareness. We discuss how leaders can create thinking space, shift their internal monologue, and harness practical strategies like mindfulness, scents, and music to manage stress and overwhelm. Plus, we explore how the words we tell ourselves can shape our reality and why gratitude and emotional curiosity are key to effective leadership.

E83 - Conscious Leadership: Giving, Growing, Living, Loving, and Leading with Jem Fuller Jem Fuller is a Public Speaker, Coach and Author specialising in Conscious Communication and Leadership. In this episode Jem shares his values of giving, growing, living and loving and how they set the foundation for conscious leadership that gets results. Some leaders focus on their primary responsibility being the results they get for the organisation, but great leaders shift their primary responsibility to providing an environment that it is conducive to people and teams flourishing which in turn creates better results for the organisation. Jem also discussed with us his view of Practical Spirituality in Leadership, and that it really is the essence of the question: “How do we show up every day?”. Jem defines Practical as applicable, implementable, easy to get your head around and do and something that is effective. Something practical gets results. And he defines Spirituality as encompassing anything that we can experience without explanation. In other words, we can’t explain it but we can experience it. Leading a group of people that are all working together to achieve a common goal that is focussed on how they can get better at collaboration, communication and human centric led work, that is spiritual.

E79 – Intuitive Decision Making with Rachel Strivelli Rachel Strivelli is a Growth Coach, Intuitive, & Author. In this episode we discuss curiosity, self enquiry, growth, creativity, connecting to intuition and decision making. Rachel explains how the intuitive mind has always been with us and that we have had to train the logical mind through our interactions with the world around us. Over time we can lose the connection with the intuitive mind, however we have the ability to continue to develop our intuitive mind just as much as we do with the logical mind. We cover a few different techniques for decision making using intuitive guidance that anyone can use regardless of the strength of your intuitive connection. Rachel also explains how the intuitive mind is connected to the faster processing parts of your brain while the reasoning and logical processing coming from the slower parts of the brain and that connecting the two leads to creative and effective decision making.
