Ran out of room - there were a couple of "Wow...really??" moments: 1) is avoidance ever really a good strategy? Most IPs are successful- they rarely avoid...v interested in that. And 2) performative IP!!!! As someone who suffers (in every sense of that word) with IP that's made me sad and angry. But, as you say just another level of comparison at play..

Great episode Phil. The comparison angle is fascinating to me and will continue to think about that. Q: do you categorise self comparison, usually leading to false or overly high expectations in the same way as perfectionism? Where do these idealised versions of super-self come from? And I'd not thought about generalised anxiety and IP in this way before. So you've given me a lot to think about there - for me personally and for my clients.

Thank you Sharon. Thanks for taking the time to comment and to listen! Much appreciated

This was a very well timed podcast given the challenges many of us are faced with around Covid disrupting our personal and work lives. Phil provides a really useful framework with practical ideas to help regulate the emotions we feel. Loved the honesty and context with his reference to personal experiences to demonstrate as examples. Thoroughly enjoyed and found the podcast really helpful - highly recommend a listen. Thank you Phil.

A good and deep reflection and exploration. Thanks for interviewing Khurshed and Claire on this one.

This one has got me thinking about lots of things. A good deep reflection on how we are expected to show up at work with and for others. Really enjoyed the insights into 'near enemies' and it's one I need to think on further.

'It isn't shared enough'..Go Phil! Leadership in motion.

Good to hear from Peter, Jo and Babs. And lovely to hear back your spoken word poetry.
