Welcome to the show! This episode is a taken from a discussion during the weekly drop-in event streamed on LinkedIn and Facebook. I chatted with Paul Deitch and Mark (“Captain “) Whiskay, where we explore age, perspective, and the critical role of self-awareness in life and career. We discusses how age-based assumptions affect work dynamics, relationships, and self-perception. Paul highlights his insights on judgment, accountability, and the value of staying teachable, learned from his years of experience working with older clients. Meanwhile, Mark and I share anecdotes about generational differences, self-worth, and the pursuit of meaning beyond traditional career paths. Key points include: Beyond Age and Assumptions: Paul addresses age-related stereotypes and emphasises personal value over societal expectations. He stresses “emotional regulation” as a transformative skill. “Because I Said So” Syndrome: The three of us reflect on how this mindset limits curiosity and growth, both in the workplace and personal life. Accountability as Empowerment: We explore the concept of accountability, sometimes seen as “toxic” today, and reframe it as a key to self-growth and fulfilment. The ONE Thing: True personal and professional growth comes from self-awareness, breaking free of limiting beliefs, and understanding that age and experience are as much about mindset as they are about years.

In this episode, I had a great chat with mindset consultant Robert Latibodiere for a rich conversation about the often-overlooked power of small, consistent actions, or what Robert calls the “minutiae effect.” We explore why we struggle to make basic, positive changes, such as saving money or developing healthy routines, and how understanding human behaviour and brain science can help. Robert emphasises the importance of tackling mental barriers, finding a meaningful "why," and working incrementally toward improvement, rather than seeking sweeping transformations. Key Points: Beyond Titles and Perceptions: Robert resists labels, focusing instead on helping people understand the "why" behind their behaviours to make genuine progress. Small Habits with Big Impacts: The "minutiae effect" involves small, daily actions done well over time, which lead to substantial change. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Through personal stories, Robert discusses his journey with self-belief and the importance of developing confidence through competence. Mindset in Health and Longevity: Robert underscores how physical and mental health interconnect and how minor lifestyle adjustments can have long-term benefits. The ONE Thing: Real change isn’t found in overnight success but through consistent, often boring, micro-actions done over time. By focusing on the "minutiae," anyone can achieve meaningful growth and resilience.

1 to One Thing Podcast Show Notes – Episode: Procrastination & Taking Action In this episode, Steve takes a solo approach to discuss key lessons from both his guests and personal experiences. He shares insights on procrastination, especially “smart procrastination,” where learning becomes an excuse for avoiding action. Inspired by YouTuber Sam Matla, Steve reflects on the balance between preparation and execution. He emphasises that while learning is important, real growth happens when you step into the arena—whether it’s salsa dancing or building a business—and take imperfect action. Steve also highlights his love for reading and how this year’s top reads, including Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal and Think by Edward de Bono, have shaped his mindset. But reading isn’t enough; Steve reminds us that knowledge only becomes valuable when it’s put into practice. Main Takeaway: The real magic happens when you stop preparing and start doing. It’s not about perfection—it’s about showing up and learning through action.

Lydia shares her personal journey and how it led to the development of the FRAME Formula, a powerful tool to enhance communication within any team, be it at work or home. Lydia explains her background, working with teams of all kinds to improve communication and ensure team members feel valued. Personal Journey: Lydia's unique experience as a mother of quadruplets and another child led her to create the FRAME Formula after noticing communication breakdowns in her own family.

Application: The formula's impact was first seen within her family and then expanded to her husband’s workplace, demonstrating significant positive changes. Real-life Examples: Stories of how the FRAME Formula improved workplace dynamics, including transforming a "grumpy" employee into a happier, more effective manager.
