"The vast majority of people just go through life kind of blindly stumbling along going, 'Yeah, this is fine,' without actually recognising whether they are OK or not."

ABOUT THE GUEST – DR LAURA SHALLCROSS

Laura Shallcross is a coach, trainer and speaker dedicated to helping senior leaders and high-performing women break the pattern of chronic perfectionist-driven over-delivery. Using a blend of professional executive coaching and therapeutic techniques, she unravels the deep-seated perfectionism habits that lead to burnout, so her clients can lead with authority and actually have the headspace to enjoy life.

Forget generic time-management strategies, Laura uses precise, subconscious tools to quiet the physical panic of saying 'no' so women can set firm boundaries, delegate to their teams and actually leave work at work.
