Each week we explore Womanhood and Leadership with the goal to question the status quo and challenge our thinking so we celebrate every woman as a leader. Our episodes will interview leaders in the field, meet authors, explore books on the subject, hear inspiring stories, or talk with organizations leading the charge for women to lead. We’ll look at the different topics from different generational perspectives as my daughters, a Millennial and a Gen Z, will join me, a Boomer, from time to time. We hope to make you laugh and leave inspired as you hear our voices on this very important topic.

164. Rethinking Grit: Embracing the Quit with Nicole Trick Steinbach PART 2 of 2
Nicole Trick Steinbach (Millennial) returns to
discuss the book, Quit, The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away, by Annie Duke. Annie Duke is a former professional poker player and earned more than $4
million in tournament poker before retiring in 2021.
Nicole and I had so much fun talking and I wanted to
save every minute of our conversation, I decided to break the episode up into two parts.
This is Part 2 of 2. Below are the different topics we covered by part.
Part 1:
Grit vs Quit
Intersectional Identity & Staying Too Long
Nicole’s “Time to Leave” Scale
Risk & Expected Value
Whispers, Missals, & Bricks
The “At the Moment Manager”
Part 2:
Goals & Expected Outcomes
Stressing Less & “Sunday Scary”
A “Quit Coach” & 4 Steps to Quit Conversations
Kill Criteria & Cut Your Loss
Attachment to our Self Identity & “In Love with my own Self-Importance”
Battles Worth Having
The “Ant Story”
Mentioned in the Series:
Book: Quit, The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away
Ep. 6, Can’t We Ditch Performance Appraisals?
Ep. 115 Inside Out: Unveiling the Layers of the Internal Family System (IFS) with Uri Talmor
Related Episode:
Ep 113, Dare to be Brave: Conquer Failure &

https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/the-power-of-personal-brands-yo-cannys-insights/id1563427212?i=1000645010115
Here are three takeaways from the series:
1. In our culture we see grit as a virtue and quit as a vice. Per Annie Duke: “Success does not lie in
sticking to things. It lies in picking the right thing to stick to and quitting the rest.”
2. Any decision is made under some degree of uncertainty – we don’t have crystal balls and new
information will always reveal itself.
3. External validation increases the escalation of commitment. Fear of how others will view us if we
quit are usually overblown.

160. Ego and Emotions – The Basics: The Journey from Freud to Brené Brown
In our previous Ep 159 we spoke with Irene Sim about ego and the role it played in leadership. But I wanted to dig in a bit more about this and had what may be a basic question: what is the ego and what are current
thought leaders in the field saying? So I did some research and found some insights I thought you might find interesting.

159 Cultural Integration, Emotions and Ego: Irene Sim's Perspective on Leadership
Irene Sim joins us to discuss some topics I think you’ll find interesting like the power of emotions, new thinking habits, systemic bias and racism, and emotions and ego. Such good stuff!
Irene is the Managing Director of Coaching Alliance Group, an accredited Executive Leadership Coach, Mentor and Facilitator. Her career is amazing. She was the inaugural Chief of Staff at APEC and first Asian woman to be promoted to the Senior Executive Service of the Australian Treasury and the Australian Taxation Office. AND she was the first Asian woman that the Australian Treasury posted overseas diplomatically as the Minister-Counsellor to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Here are the topics we covered in the episode:
3:12 Power of emotions & leadership
7:33 New thinking habits
11:52 Bringing cultures together by
removing systemic bias/racism
21:44 The effect of emotions and ego
Here are the three takeaways:
1. Let's look at emotions look at comfortable or uncomfortable not good or bad. They can be our “north
star” guiding us to act in alignment with our deepest values and to be more resilient. Accept them, allow them and then do something constructive with
them.
2. Having an inclusive mindset is about being curious and move away from the assumption that the way I see the world is the only way to see the world.
3. One habit to break up the “all about me” and the disconnection from the other. We can look at an issue together, rather than making it personal by blaming
judging or defending against the other. This allows alignment.
More About Irene:
Irene coaches women at all stages of their journey to break free from societal biases to set their own
terms and to thrive as powerful and authentic leaders on their own terms. Irene also coaches entire organizations on how to provide allyship support to one
another, to remove systemic biases.
