I’ve recently embarked on a small podcast adventure, with the aim to explore at least 10 new shows this month. I’m curious to learn more about podcasting, and broaden my horizons, and I am also keen to expand the types of podcasts I am listening to, all the while looking out for ideas and resources that I could use or share with colleagues and clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s been fun so far, to listen to something completely different as I walk the dogs or do incline intervals on the treadmill. If you are looking for inspiration and are curious to find out more, this post is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chose podcasts that I had never listened to before, and started with the most popular ones. I vaguely tried to choose episodes\/topics that seemed relevant to my current interests, but also added some that were completely unknown to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first group of podcasts I listened to are by or about the work of Bren\u00e9 Brown<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Bren\u00e9 Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. Bren\u00e9 is also a visiting professor in management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. She is the author of six #1 New York Times <\/em>best sellers and is the host of two award-winning Spotify podcasts, Unlocking Us<\/em> and Dare to Lead<\/em>.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/brenebrown.com\/media-kit\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n I keep coming across the Dare to Lead podcast<\/a>, most recently a couple of episodes about adopting a digital mindset, which I was curious about as it related to my interest in leading virtual teams. However, up to recently I hadn’t made the time to really explore the podcast itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I found particularly helpful is that you can search all of her podcasts<\/a> by topic, so you can focus on a particular topic like work culture, leadership or midlife, and easily access related resources and references. There is also a handy guide<\/a> for everyone who is just discovering Bren\u00e9 Brown<\/a>, so if you are new to her work, head straight there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I also explored a couple of podcasts new to me that explore this topic from different perspectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is an episode from May 2021 of the Podcast series Write your OWN story<\/em>, by Rebecca Fleetwood Hession, founder of the Badass Women’s Council, which is focused on Bren\u00e9 Brown<\/a>‘s concept of BRAVING from the book Dare to Lead. Looking at what it means to set boundaries, how to lead with reliability and integrity from a business perspective provided an interesting contrast to my usual education\/academic viewpoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dated March 2022, this episode of We Can Do Hard Things<\/em>, with hosts Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle features Bren\u00e9 Brown<\/a> as a guest and dives into a wide-ranging discussion about connection, fear, navigating personal and professional relationships and the book\/TV series Atlas of the Heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All the podcasts introduced me to new ideas for things to read, listen to and watch – so I headed to the library and got ordering. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve recently embarked on a small podcast adventure, with the aim to explore at least 10 new shows this month.
