The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Ever felt like you’re all talk — and no action?! Today, I’m sharing the REAL reason you’re struggling to take action and get the results you’re after...
I don’t know how it happened, but we’re officially HALF-WAY through 2024!
July also marks the start of a brand new financial year here in Australia. A time where leaders are starting to look ahead at their business strategies and professional goals for the next 12 months.
And I’m noticing a lot of individuals talking about the goals they’re yet to reach -- or strategies they still need to put in place.
As a high-performer, when you’re NOT achieving the outcomes you desire, it’s natural to ask: What do I need to DO about this?
But 80% of the time what you’re doing (or not doing) isn’t the issue. You see, the reason you’re not creating momentum is internal. It begins with your mind.
Finding it tough to take action?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the five main roadblocks which keep high-achievers stuck in inaction.
You'll learn:

2:37: The biggest fear which holds people back from taking action and achieving the results they want
3:59: Why waiting until you ‘become’ more confident is actually keeping you stuck -- and the one thing you MUST do to beat self-doubt
5:28: How to overcome overwhelm and take action towards your goals when you struggle to find the time
7:23: Why working hard won’t always get you results -- or even guarantee you’ll reach your goals
8:19: How trying to be ‘perfect’ stops you in your tracks and practical ways to work through it

Discover the EXACT mindset shifts you need to make so you get the results you want in your career, this year!

#34: 6 Ways To Drive Change & Help Women Succeed At Work 14:22

منذ 6 أيام14:22

14:22

134 years. That’s how long it will take to reach gender parity. So what’s holding women back at work? And more importantly -- what can we do about it? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today. I grew up in the ’80s -- the decade of big hair, power suits and Working Girl. A time when women were independent and ambitious. To me, women had ALWAYS been successful at work -- and anything I wanted to achieve in my career was possible. Yet when I entered the workforce (big hair still in tow!), I found workplaces built on traditional systems where men held the power. The corporate environments I worked in encouraged healthy competition and rewarded high performance. As I watched the women around me adapt to fit into these systems, I did the same. From my 20’s, the message was clear: To succeed as a woman, I had to be confident, competitive -- even aggressive. Fast forward two decades and workplaces have evolved. We’ve seen a shift towards equal pay, diversity and more women in leadership. After 17 years supporting people in their careers, I’m in awe of how far we’ve come. But progress isn’t happening fast enough. And I believe real action starts with YOU taking ownership of your career. In this episode I’m breaking down the biggest barriers women still face at work and how to move past them. Whether you’re navigating these challenges yourself or leading a team, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to create real change! You'll learn: Why flexible work can limit visibility and career progression -- and what to do about it The ONE thing you can control when balancing motherhood and your career How to position yourself so hiring managers see your potential -- not their assumptions The REAL reason women are still paid and promoted less -- and steps to change this How to reclaim your voice at the table and be heard with clarity and confidence Ways to create collaboration over competition -- and help leaders advocate for women at work So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!

#33: How To Stop Comparing Yourself To Others And Find Success Your Way 10:41

منذ 20 يومًا10:41

10:41

Have you ever caught yourself comparing your success to someone else’s? When I watched Demi Moore’s recent Golden Globe speech, it hit home. Comparison is something ALL ambitious leaders struggle with, no matter how successful or experienced you are. And today, we’re tackling it head-on. Picture this... You’re feeling on top of the world -- fulfilled by your work and completely satisfied with where you are in life. Then out of nowhere, it all comes crashing down. You’re scrolling LinkedIn and see a peer being featured in a major industry publication. Or a colleague lands the promotion you were hoping for -- taking on a bigger role, leading a high-profile project, or stepping into the C-suite. Suddenly, the confidence and excitement you had about your progress disappear. You start questioning yourself and doubting your abilities. What you’re experiencing is career ‘comparisonitis’. And you’re not alone. Comparison culture is everywhere -- especially in a world of social media and ‘perfect’ Instagram feeds. They say comparison is the thief of joy, but it’s also the thief of progress. It pulls you away from your own goals and often leads to inaction. Does it feel like everyone else is getting ahead -- faster than you? In today’s episode, I share five practical strategies to stop the cycle of comparison -- once and for all! You'll learn: The psychology behind comparison, WHY you fall into the trap and the first step to break free My personal experience with comparisonitis -- and two ways to transform it into fuel for success How to redefine success on YOUR own terms and train your brain to let go of career comparison for good The simple mindset shift to silence self-doubt and help you make a real impact So hit play NOW -- and let’s dive in!

#32: The Top 2025 Career & Leadership Trends -- And How To Stay Ahead 14:43

منذ 5 weeks14:43

14:43

February marks the REAL start of the year for many leaders, making it the perfect time to explore the key career and leadership trends defining 2025. Because here’s the thing -- the pace of change isn’t slowing down. We’re experiencing major global shifts -- economically, politically and socially -- which are reshaping the workplace in real time. So, let me ask you: Are you ready for what’s coming? In my recent conversations with senior leaders and executives, one challenge keeps surfacing… Many have been so focused on leading their teams and delivering results that they haven’t had time to think about their own career direction. One leader shared they’ve spent YEARS in reactive mode -- without intentionally planning where they want to go next. Now, they’re at a point where they know it’s time for a change, but they’re unsure what that looks like. Another executive put it perfectly when they said, “I’ve spent years setting career goals and developing plans for my team, but I’ve never actually done it for myself.” And this is something I see all the time. As an ambitious leader, it’s easy to focus on external priorities -- like leading your team or driving business outcomes -- while putting your own career on autopilot. But with so much change happening, taking ownership of your career and leadership development is more critical than ever. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the top 4 career and leadership trends for 2025 -- and how YOU can stay ahead. You'll learn: The ONE thing you must master to stay competitive and lead a high-impact team in the age of AI A game-changing shift top businesses are making -- and how YOU can use it to future-proof your career and team How to accelerate your career without burnout -- while developing an engaged, high-performing team Why building visibility as a leader is key to unlocking new opportunities for you AND your team No matter where you are in your career, these insights will help you stay ahead, lead with confidence and seize new opportunities in 2025.

#30: 5 Essential Steps To Clarify Your 2025 Vision & Start The Year Strong 12:35

منذ 9 weeks12:35

12:35

Do you know what you’re working towards in 2025? If not, you’re not alone. Many high performers I work with feel stuck, unsure of what they truly want and overwhelmed about where to start. So in today’s episode, we’re talking about how to clarify YOUR vision for the year ahead! As a child, I remember sitting on the living room floor with my sister, surrounded by stacks of my mum’s glossy magazines. Scissors in hand, we’d cut and paste (the old-fashioned way!) our favourite images onto paper. Without realising it, we were creating our own version of the modern day ‘vision board’. Now, I’m very practical and strategic when it comes to goal-setting. For a long time, I dismissed the whole concept of vision-boards as fluff and frankly, a bit ‘woo-woo’. But as a certified coach, I’ve learnt how powerful it is to create a clear vision -- albeit in my own structured, logical way! Yet so many of us dive into goal-setting without considering the big picture. This is like trying to plan a journey without a final destination point. Because if you don’t know WHAT you’re working towards, it’s impossible to figure out the right strategy to get there. In this episode, I share 5 practical tips to help you clarify your 2025 vision, set aligned goals and take action with confidence! You'll learn: 3 critical questions to identify what is and isn’t working, so you know EXACTLY where to focus The 2 essential elements to align your vision with what matters most and create a fulfilling, sustainable career Practical prompts to help you visualise your ideal 2025 What to do when your resolutions don’t stick -- PLUS specific examples of how my clients and I approach the year with intention How to transform your vision into a step-by-step plan and achieve your goals with clarity and confidence So hit play NOW -- and let’s make your 2025 vision a reality!

13:19

Do you struggle to stick to your New Year resolutions? Every January you look forward to a fresh start and set new goals for the year ahead. But studies show over 80% of resolutions fail by February. So today I’m revealing the REAL reasons why -- and how to overcome them. Goals ARE important because they give you something to strive for. Still, I don’t buy into the ‘new year, new you’ hype. It’s unreasonable to put yourself under pressure one time per year. I believe in having a clear vision, setting goals from there and creating a step-by-step plan to reach them -- ANY time of year. In this special episode, which originally aired in January 2024, you’ll find out how to stop breaking your resolutions. PLUS six simple shifts you can make to reach your big career goals in 2025! You'll learn: Why I stopped setting New Year resolutions -- and what I recommend instead The neuroscience behind goal-setting and how to use it to get the results you want in your career Practical strategies to reduce overwhelm and stay accountable to your goals -- even during tough times How to eliminate the ‘time excuse’ which stops you achieving your goals The importance of progress over outcomes So hit play on this episode now and let’s dive in!

#29: 2024 Reflections: My 4 Game-Changing Lessons -- And How They’ll Help YOU! 20:44

منذ 13 weeks20:44

20:44

How often do YOU pause and reflect? It wasn’t until I hit the point of burnout several years ago that I realised: I NEVER reflected on my career. As an Activator in the StrengthsFinder assessment, I’m a natural doer. Someone who dives into action, works hard and follow through -- traits I share with my high-achieving clients. Yet, this focus on 'doing': planning, strategising, ticking off to-do's -- often takes priority. This leaves little time to reflect on successes, learnings or celebrate progress TOWARD your goals. And this time of year, when you're tired or disappointed with your results, it’s easy to overlook what you HAVE achieved. Our brains fixate on the gaps, which is why reflection is essential. In this special episode, I’m sharing my 4 game-changing lessons (and honest confessions) for 2024. Listen in to find out what worked, what didn’t — and how these lessons can help YOU! Then, I’ll walk you through a simple end of year reflection to review YOUR year, career -- and what you want in the next one. You'll learn: The ONE secret to maintain momentum, build confidence and achieve results in your career -- even during tough times The key people you need in your network NOW -- and how collaboration can progress your career and unlock future opportunities Why prioritising YOUR time and energy is key to building better boundaries with others My struggles with overwork this year and how to build sustainable career success without burning out Why waiting for clarity holds you back -- and how taking action turns confusion into a fulfilling, sustainable career 4 powerful questions to reflect on your successes, learnings and set yourself up for a strong start in 2025! This episode is a perfect one to dive into over the holidays and a MUST listen to prepare for your best year yet. So grab a pen and paper -- and let’s dive in! Thanks for listening.

#28: How To Overcome Overwhelm: Beating My Battle With Burnout 13:55

منذ 15 weeks13:55

13:55

Several years ago I made an extreme and completely out of character decision... I closed my business for 2 months. To do -- absolutely nothing. I’d reached another cycle of complete burnout after YEARS of working 60+ hour weeks, late nights and weekends. After recognising the pattern of working myself to burnout -- both in my own business and back in my corporate career -- it was time to make significant changes. As a result, I created new habits, beliefs and behaviours which helped me beat the cycle of burnout -- once and for all. And this is exactly what I’m talking about on today’s podcast. Because one thing I’m noticing is that leaders are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted as we close out the year. Whether you’re overstretched at work from doing more, with less resources -- or busy balancing your career and personal commitments. So, instead of waiting until you hit the point of burnout like I did, what can you do NOW to overcome overwhelm? In today’s episode, I get real and share my own personal battle with burn-out. You'll learn: 3 simple steps to help you plan ahead and know EXACTLY where to focus The two essential elements to slow down during stressful periods, so you can speed up later Why prioritising YOUR time and energy is key to building better boundaries with others How cultivating this leadership skill creates space for strategic thinking, improved time management and a more sustainable workload The ONE shift you must make as a high-performer to feel more fulfilled at work and overcome overwhelm How to beat overwhelm when life feels out of control -- or throws unexpected challenges your way So hit play NOW and let’s dive in!

#25: How To Balance Daily Tasks & Reach Your Long-Term Career Goals 11:56

منذ 21 weeks11:56

11:56

Is your job getting in the way of the career you want? Today, I’m talking about a common theme which comes up in my coaching sessions: How to balance your long-term career goals with the demands of your current role. Like one client put it, it’s easy to get caught up in the ‘hamster wheel’ of daily tasks -- and forget to allocate time to your long-term priorities. ESPECIALLY when the pace of change in the past few years has forced us to focus on fighting fires and short-term strategy. As this client experienced, thinking short-term led them to put their employer first and completely neglect their own career goals and development. Had they not addressed this, it could have hindered their ability to reach their long-term goals and limited them to whatever path their organisation offered them. And what I’m noticing right now as we get towards the end of the year is that SO many people are confused about what they want next in their careers. But they’re also busy, exhausted and waiting until the new year (like everyone else) to figure it out. So what are some ways you can start to address this -- and set yourself up for success next year? In this episode, I’m sharing 5 strategies to balance your daily to-do list and long-term career goals, so you can take back control of your career! You'll learn: The danger of ticking ‘easy’ items off your to-do list -- and why understanding your priorities is the essential starting point What overwhelm is ACTUALLY trying to tell you and practical steps to get unstuck The REAL reason you keep procrastinating on your biggest priorities -- and what to do about it An often overlooked step which is CRITICAL to achieving your long-term career goals Tangible tips to help you accomplish your daily work tasks AND your big career ambitions So hit play on this episode NOW and let’s dive in!

Too many people stay stuck in a career or role which no longer serves them, out of fear they’ll end up in a worse situation. So what steps can you take when considering a change to confirm a potential employer is the right fit for YOU? Today’s episode was inspired by a question someone asked at a conference: “How do you ensure a potential employer’s values align to your own?” Before I answer it here, I want to address the REAL underlying issue at the root of this question: the fear of making the ‘wrong’ move. Digging deeper, I discovered this individual had a bad experience with management in a previous position. As a result, she was worried about making the ‘wrong’ choice in future. And it’s a common challenge many of my clients experience too... But here’s the truth: There’s no such thing as a ‘wrong’ decision -- because your knowledge, skills and experience ALWAYS go with you. However, there ARE strategies to reduce risk with your next career step. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the number one mindset shift and 3 practical strategies you can take to find the right fit -- and minimise risk with your move! You'll learn: How your fear of making the wrong choice keeps you stuck in an unfulfilling situation -- and a simple reframe to shift your mindset The most critical questions to ask throughout the interview process and BEFORE accepting a job to determine it’s the right fit for you My top tip to assess the values and leadership style of a hiring manager, so you can mitigate risk with your move A common pitfall to avoid when assessing company culture -- so you find a position which fits YOU So hit play on this episode NOW and let’s dive in!

#22: Are You Settling? How To Take Back Control Of Your Career Success 14:31

منذ 27 weeks14:31

14:31

Are you settling in your career? I recently saw an Instagram post talking about the ‘dream job’ being dead, which encouraged people to take a role which was ‘good enough’. One which funds your life OUTSIDE work. And I get why this advice may resonate in the current economic climate. I think it’s absolutely fundamental to make sure your financial needs are met, have a strategy and minimise risk with any move. But this DOESN’T mean you have to settle in your career. And this is exactly what I’m discussing on today’s podcast... As a high-performer, I KNOW your career is important to you and a big part of your identity. So though the concept of a ‘dream career’ may seem unrealistic -- I don’t agree that you have to ‘work to live’ or settle for a job which doesn’t challenge or fulfill you. Because here’s the truth... You spend a THIRD of your life at work and your career has a big impact on your quality of life. I believe it’s COMPLETELY possible to do the work which lights you up, make an impact AND get paid well for it. So HOW do you do this? In today’s episode, you’ll discover the 5 essential first steps to take back control of your career -- regardless of the economy, job market or your current life season. You'll learn: 3 common (and often surprising) ways high-achievers settle in their careers -- and what YOU can do about it The biggest mistake people make when managing their careers and how doing the opposite will get you back in control of your career EXACTLY what’s keeping you stuck in your career -- and my top tip to find clarity and take control of your direction The danger of waiting for a promotion or the market to improve and why starting NOW is key How to develop your current career – EVEN if you’re happy, don’t have time or aren’t looking to move roles right now Why having a plan is vital and practical steps you can take outside your day job to find fulfillment and set yourself up for future career success So hit play on this episode NOW and let’s dive in!

How do you stay authentic as a leader, while adjusting to various personality types in your team? It’s a question two past clients were pondering about leadership style.
