Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 23 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

P-Soupers - In this episode it's the second part of my chat with Tom Loncar who is an accredited coach, mentor and contributing writer on leadership to a variety of business and professional magazines, including The Psychologist, the official magazine of the British Psychological Society) Tom's people soup ingredients are curiosity, enthusiasm, and learning with a side order of building connections!

Tom discusses the concept of intellectual humility, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our incomplete knowledge and welcoming the possibility of being wrong. We explore the 'zombie quagmire,' feedback processes, and the challenges leaders face, such as executive absence, miscalibrated authenticity, and the aversion to delegation. The discussion also touches on psychological flexibility, the impact of multitasking in meetings, and creating an environment of psychological safety, particularly in cross-cultural teams.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.

I've just launched my open course "Your Blueprint for Well-Being, Action & Resilience."

It's bringing ACT in the workplace to the public through the training I developed with Dr Paul Flaxman. I've delivered it to thousands of adults in the workplace with exceptional feedback. It's for people who are interested in navigating their working live more effectively. It will folks consider what really matters and what might be getting in the way of them being the person they'd really like to be. If you're a P-Souper or have trained with me in the past, please think about passing on this opportunity to a friend, colleague or family member. The maximum size of the cohort is 12 people - first come, first served. All the details are via this link.

You can also sign up for a free one hour session which introduces the course here.
