Going a little out of your depth with Nikki Gatenby - The Potential for What? Podcast

The Potential for What? Podcast

In this podcast Jo Taylor MD of Let's Talk Talent and our guest Nikki Gatenby discuss how limiting beliefs can stop us from achieving our potential and how having someone to hold up a mirror and challenge these beliefs can help us to unlock our potential.

They also discuss how to coach someone to live in the present but focus on the future and how, during the pandemic, people have had to find new ways to be connected to get their energy.

Find out how Nikki took the leap from an international role in a London agency, to starting her own agency in Brighton focused on staff wellbeing. Through her hard work and dedication, she was able to turn the business into a global success, and was even voted one of the best places to work in the UK for eight years. She also talks about the moment she decided to write her book, 'Superengaged', and how it opened up a new world of possibilities for her, leading her to become a non-exec and help other agencies with their culture and growth.

In today’s episode we talk about:

• How Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) can help to unlock potential by challenging limiting beliefs and negative thoughts.
• How to build mental muscle by challenging our thinking and developing a new practice.
• Why it is important to have an inner mentor and practice the power of pause when responding to situations.
• CEOs and HR leaders should have conversations with their employees to encourage them to take ownership of their own career progression.
• How Nikki grew Propellernet into one of the best places to work in the UK and then wrote a book, Superengaged, to share her story.
