  • 014 – What’s your relationship to sensitivity?
    Sep 24 2024

    In this episode, we return to the topic of sensitivity and explore our relationship to sensitivity. We do this from two perspectives. Firstly, how we might align to the sensitivity scale ourselves, and secondly, to what extent sensitivity resonates with us.

    We cover:

    • A summary of what sensitivity is, so that we’re all on thesame page with this.
    • We then explore how sensitivity is a part of all of us.
    • And then we look at how sensitivity might resonate with uspersonally.

  • 011 - Sensitivity as your competitive advantage
    Sep 3 2024

    In this episode, we explore how sensitivity can become yourcompetitive advantage. There seems to be a misconception in business that sensitivity is a weakness, and that those of us who are sensitive need to toughen up to succeed professionally.

    Well, I disagree, and I don’t believe in approaches where wetry to be something we’re not. Instead, I’d like us to explore how we lean into sensitivity as a strength and for this to become our superpower.

    We cover:

    • The sensitive gifts & talents that set us apart
    • Why we may reject our sensitivity
    • How we can lean into our sensitivity as a strength
