In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

In this episode of the Effective Challenge podcast, I take a look at a topic that impacts everyone - The quality of our relationships.

I draw upon Dr Stephen Covey's metaphor of an emotional bank account to represent our investments or withdrawals when interacting with others.

There are six areas discussed:

Understanding the individuals
Attending to the little things
Keeping commitments
Clarifying expectations
Demonstrating personal integrity
Apologising when we make a withdrawal

Stay tuned to the end of the podcast when I share my personal build upon the terrific work of Stephen Covey.

ECP089 PRIME | The Energy one 30:59

منذ 3 أيام30:59

30:59

In this final episode of the PRIME model deep dive series, we’re exploring the vital role of Energy . While it’s the last element of the model, it’s certainly not the least. Energy is something we all need and often crave more of. It’s influenced by a range of factors—some within our control and others not so much—but we often have more influence than we think. This episode focuses on three powerful areas that shape our energy: the people we interact with, our environment, and how we manage our time. Each has a direct impact on our resilience and performance, offering opportunities for positive change. We’ll also dive into the fascinating science behind how our interactions affect us, highlighting the powerful role of neurochemicals and neurotransmitters. Whether it’s the energising boost of dopamine, oxytocin, or serotonin from uplifting connections, or the draining effects of excess cortisol and adrenaline from stressful encounters, these chemical reactions can significantly influence how we feel and perform. This episode unpacks how to manage those energy dynamics—minimising sappers, maximising givers, and creating an environment and schedule that truly support your results and wellbeing.…

ECP088 Prime | the Mind One 33:51

منذ 10 أيام33:51

33:51

In this episode of The Effective Challenge Podcast , we explore four key areas that can help improve your mental resilience. First, we look at being more mindful—beyond meditation. While meditation works for some, mindfulness is ultimately about paying attention on purpose. I share practical ways to bring more awareness into daily life, from single-tasking to noticing the small details in your environment. We also discuss how mindfulness creates space between stimulus and response, helping to reduce stress and bring clarity to your thinking. Next, we cover the importance of interrupting unhelpful thoughts, recognising that while negative thinking is natural, it doesn’t have to dictate our actions. I share techniques like naming thought patterns, using pattern disruptors, and asking better questions to shift perspective. We also dive into the power of having a supportive network—why the right people can help regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and provide accountability. Finally, we explore the benefits of downloading your thoughts, whether through freewriting, structured journalling, or simply getting things out of your head to create clarity. If you’re looking to build mental resilience, this episode offers practical steps to get started. Please share thoughts, comments and any questions - damian@effectivechallenge.com…

In this first episode in a series of five this covers the Effective Challenge PRIME model. We dive deep into how prioritising physical well-being can enhance resilience and overall performance. While exercise is part of the equation, this episode goes beyond that—exploring how breathwork, addressing chronic health concerns, and making small, sustainable changes can lead to significant benefits. The modern world presents unique challenges our ancestors didn’t face—sedentary jobs, increased screen time, and a convenience-driven lifestyle. We break down how these factors impact our health and discuss practical ways to counteract them. We explore the immediate and long-term benefits of physical activity, from stress reduction and better sleep to disease prevention and longevity. With NHS and Harvard-backed insights, we outline how simple daily changes—walking more, improving posture, strength training, and even adjusting our breathing—can make a profound impact. Whether you’re new to fitness or looking for ways to incorporate movement into a busy life, this episode offers practical, science-backed strategies to help you take control of your physical health.

In this episode, I explore how to manage the competing demands and thoughts that can often clutter our minds. With the world increasingly valuing busyness, it’s crucial to develop techniques to externalise and organise our thinking to make better decisions and reduce unnecessary stress. Key topics covered include: * The myth of fully controlling your thoughts and why managing them is more realistic * Techniques for externalising thoughts: writing, talking, and mind mapping * How expressing thoughts can reveal patterns and connections * Practical examples to help clear your mind and bring clarity * Why our modern environment overwhelms our evolved mental capacity Remember, managing your thinking isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating the space to move forward effectively.

ECP081 Behind the Glory: Learning from Lifetime Achievement 25:47

منذ 10 weeks25:47

25:47

Welcome back to the Effective Challenge Podcast. It’s brilliant to have you with me for Episode 81 . A special shout-out to everyone who reached out after last week’s episode—your messages were truly energising, and it’s great to be back delivering insights to help you with your version of the Effective Challenge. The What This episode draws inspiration from Sir Mark Cavendish , the cycling legend recently awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. But this isn’t just about cycling. It’s about the valuable lessons we can all take from Cavendish’s incredible career—his wins, his setbacks, and his unwavering determination to keep going. The So What Cavendish’s story is full of lessons that apply far beyond sport: Failure doesn’t define you : Early setbacks in his career didn’t stop him; they refined him. Cavendish’s struggles to pass the British Cycling Academy test are a reminder that failure is not the end—it’s a chance to grow and prove what you’re truly capable of. Resilience is key : Mark’s journey to securing the record-breaking 35 Tour de France stage wins is filled with challenges. His ability to persevere teaches us that success often demands grit and consistency. Beyond the highlights : Behind the glory lies discipline, setbacks, and an supportive team. Cavendish’s story challenges us to see the bigger picture and apply these lessons to our own lives and work. The Now What So, how can you use this in your own life? Reflect on your setbacks : Are you letting 'failures' define you, or are you using them as fuel to improve? Build your resilience : Progress isn’t linear—stay committed to your goals, even when the path gets tough. Look beyond the headlines : Remember that greatness is often built in the unseen, unglamorous moments of hard work. Take a moment to consider where you can apply these principles in your current challenges, whether in your personal life, work, or goals. 🎙 Tune In If you’re ready to be inspired and take action, hit play now and let’s dive into the lessons from one of Britain’s greatest sportspeople. 🗣 Join the Conversation What did you take from Cavendish’s story?

ECP080 Why I Took a 10-Month Break (And How It Can Help Your Christmas) 19:04

منذ 11 weeks19:04

19:04

So, what’s been going on between Episode 79 and now? A whole 10-month gap —that’s a lot of time, right? Well, in this return episode, I’m diving into why I’ve been away for so long, and trust me, there’s more to it than just life getting in the way. 😅 But as I reflect on the break, I also want to connect it to something that’s really top of mind this time of year: the holidays . In this episode, we’re talking about rules and routines —specifically, how the ones we create (or inherit) can either help or hinder our experience. The holidays are full of unspoken “rules” and expectations, and these can sometimes lead to stress or frustration if we’re not mindful of them. But here’s the thing: once we become aware of the routines and habits that guide our everyday lives, we can start to assess which ones are actually working for us—and which ones are getting in the way. By making small changes, we can set ourselves up for a much more fulfilling end to the year, particularly as we approach Christmas. 🎄 I’ll also walk you through a simple framework to help you assess what you’re doing, figure out what’s working, and make adjustments to ensure your holiday season is aligned with what you truly want. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Got feedback or questions? Drop me a message at damian@effectivechallenge.com . I’m so happy to be back and can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode. Catch you in the show! ✨…

ECP078 The 7 mistakes around procrastination (and what to do about them in 2024) 27:15

منذ 1 year27:15

27:15

The episode revolves around the pervasive issue of procrastination and strategies to address it. Procrastination, identified as a rising trend globally, prompts an exploration of common mistakes associated with it. One such mistake is the confusion over its definition, often intertwined with perfectionism, self-worth challenges, and indecision. Clarity in diagnosis is emphasised for you to achieve effective treatment. Another critical distinction is made between real and fake procrastination, emphasising the need for recognising prioritisation challenges versus genuine lack of time. The podcast also delves into the psychological aspect, highlighting our bias toward short-term gains over long-term benefits and the importance of decoding the information embedded in our feelings. The subsequent sections dissect additional mistakes, such as attempting to overcome your procrastination by sheer willpower, which is deemed unsustainable. Instead, you are encouraged to create supportive environments and systems. The challenge of dealing with tasks you dislike or feel compelled to do is addressed by shifting mindsets to find ways to make them more energising. External factors, such as your fear of others' opinions upon completion, are explored, with an emphasis on reframing perspectives and handling feedback constructively. The discussion concludes by spotlighting insufficient clarity as a common reason for your procrastination and suggests breaking tasks into manageable actions and seeking external assistance for defining the work.…
