In Season 2, we decided to tweak our approach. We understand that time is precious to some of our listeners and we feel you. With that in mind, we are going to create a short 5 mins podcast to give highlights of each episode.
In episode 1, we tapped into what it means to be present, living in the moment and connected it with multitasking and critical thinking! Being present is a way for you to absorb and experience whatever things are around you, for example, paying your full attention to people or surroundings in a new place or with a new work role, while Living in the moment is the ability to make decisions that come with certain risks for a benefit or to achieve something.
Here are a few highlights from our conversation:
You can be present with others, as well as with yourself. For example, try meditation or self-reflection, perhaps every morning one wishes to be present holistically with the environment, your mind and your body - to notice one’s feelings, thoughts, needs, to reflect what is lacking or what needs to be pursued.
Then we had a look into multitasking - if it is even possible, and what are the consequences and cost of multitasking, i.e., losing focus and concentration, more time required to perform certain tasks, lower efficiency, and productivity.
Next, we wanted to solve the mystery if one can practise critical thinking while being present? Is it possible to fully immerse into the present moment and analyse, complete and be critical about a certain task?
We deepen the conflict's context even more. Being present during a conflict situation is called sitting in the fire, as it is challenging and uncomfortable. Conflicts are situations in which most people would do everything that they can not to be present in the moment, to escape that moment.
We ended up sharing our key takeaways from this conversation. There are many beliefs around what is being in the moment and how it's not possible in many circumstances. And maybe it is possible at any given moment, it doesn’t mean it is always needed or is best for us. So, let’s always pick what serves us the most. At the end of the day, it is on us as individuals to be able to activate what is needed at a certain time, place and within a certain audience.
Thank you so much everyone for listening, we would love to hear from you. What is your view on being present? When do you like being present and when do you think it's a challenge for you?

S2 Ep 06: How to make others hear you.
Meetings can be difficult in both remote and face-to-face settings. From staying focused, being engaged, arranging your thoughts & reading people’s expressions to managing silent situations.
This episode was one of our favourite topics - communication and how to make others hear us. Although the conversation took a different direction than expected, our curiosity led us to focus on in-person and remote meetings.
Here are a few highlights from our latest episode:
We opened up this episode with a question ‘do other people listen to you?’ and ‘how often they don't?’
How can we hold onto others’ attention during meetings? Here Zuzanna shared about practising deep listening and the power of asking questions.
Almost all of us will experience “awkward silence” when the presenter asked for feedback or a question. How do we maintain our composure and confidence then?
Lastly, we shared and agreed that everyone in the organization or team, their voices and opinions matter and must be given a chance to be heard.
This episode left both of us with plenty of thoughts to reflect on. What is emerging for you from our discussion?

S2 Ep 05: Summary of avoiding remote burnout
This is a short 5mins summary for listeners who are on the go.
Remote work has certainly created opportunities for us, like allowing many workers to work from home and spend more quality time with family, and widening the talent pool for many employers.
However, remote working also exposes social risks. Workers are experiencing burnout and loneliness. In this episode 5, we reflected on remote burnout and shared a few tips on how to deal with it.
Here are a few highlights from our latest episode:
We reflected on how remote work or work from home had provided us with flexibility and empowerment. We are able to spend more family time while still keeping the same productivity output.
While some thrive and live their dream life, others realise that it is harder than ever for them to put a hard stop on working and that work-life balance has never been further away and eventually resulted in work burnout.
A few tips on dealing with remote burnout – scheduling intentional breaks to have coffee or go for a walk, pantry talk with colleagues virtually, listening to your body, & creating a culture of empathy.
Addressing remote burnout or achieving a healthy work-life environment should start with the leader.

This is a short 5mins summary for listeners who are on the go.
According to Maslow, if you want to get to the top of the pyramid and fulfil your full potential, you’ve got to build a solid base first. There are four building blocks, Physical Security, Emotional Security, Environment, & Mindset.
Self-control is one of the skills that overlap the building blocks and a skill that develops over time. Self-control refers to your ability to manage your behavior in order to achieve goals, improve positive outcomes, and avoid negative consequences.
