Episode 10 of our IoH I’m In Podcast is available for members today!
We’re always trying to think of interesting discussion topics and so Phil was delighted to get an opportunity to discuss something that has been on his mind for years. Can a mature mindset achieve the same results as pure experience?
To unpack this, Phil was once again joined by three superb humans from within the IoH membership. Our Youth Council member Marco Di Simone AIH, Rachel Webster MIH and Chris Wayne-Wills FIH.
As always, our guests gave us some brilliant reasons to say I’m in to the IoH including:-
- Getting some credentials early in career
- To take advantage of the many benefits that being a member brings
- Exchange of value and support through the membership
- The mentor me programme
- Networking
- To learn
- To give back
- Being part of a community
- To act as an ambassador for the institute
- To meet and discuss the future of the industry with peers
- how to be a better person at work and personally
Within the headline topic itself we got through a lot including:-
- Some situations can only be dealt with through experience but growth is only experienced when exposed to situations not dealt with before.
- Culture is key to ensure mature mindsets are given the opportunity to flourish
- Managing your reaction to being out of your comfort zone is the difference between success and failure
- Self-awareness is so important, asking for help when you are out of your depth and being comfortable with accountability
- Respecting people is a critical element of having a mature mindset as is being able to adapt to change
- A mature minded person will see change as an opportunity
- You must “Fake it until you make it” quoted from Richard Branson
- A small amount of fear can be a healthy thing for your mindset
- A strong mindset will help you prepare for all the experience you have yet to learn
- Failing is an essential part of developing a strong mindset
- Leadership has to build a platform that’s comfortable with failure
- Leading by example is part of the process to ensure teams develop their confidence in their role and the confidence in the team, especially when they are lacking experience.
- Developing your own tools to ensure your mind stays strong is important
A huge thank you to our guests for giving up their time and opinion.
Enjoy!
