3 AUG 2024 · Dr. Morgana McCabe Allan PhD. takes us on a journey through the realms of identity, reality, and entrepreneurship. With a PhD in the co-creation of identities, Dr. Morgana is uniquely positioned to guide entrepreneurs through the often tumultuous waters of self-discovery and self-love. Her insights are not just theoretical; they are deeply practical, offering a roadmap for building businesses that are not only successful but also authentically aligned with who we truly are.
She is the author of the book https://amzn.to/4ebRCrz.One of the central themes Dr. Morgana explores is the internal debate that many entrepreneurs face. This debate revolves around the tension between being true to oneself and succumbing to the pressures of external validation. In a world where the latest trends and industry standards often dictate our actions, it can be challenging to remain grounded in our own unique identities. Dr. Morgana emphasises that the key to overcoming this challenge lies in self-love and self-discovery.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the impact of patriarchal norms on both men and women. Dr. Morgana points out that we live in a culture that restricts the emotional range of men, allowing them to express only a limited set of emotions. This, in turn, makes the concept of self-love more foreign and difficult for many men. Women, on the other hand, often replicate masculine patterns in business, leading to feelings of imposter syndrome. Dr. Morgana advocates for a more inclusive approach that validates a broader range of emotions and experiences.
So how do we move towards authentic living and business practices? Dr. Morgana introduces the concept of ‘tree rings’—small, interconnected steps that extend our reality gradually. Instead of making a massive leap, she encourages taking small, manageable steps that foster a sense of safety and authenticity. This approach not only impacts how others perceive us but also how we perceive ourselves, reducing the risk of burnout and imposter syndrome.
Another crucial point Dr. Morgana makes is the importance of defining success on our own terms. She warns against the ‘shifting baseline’—the idea that societal standards of success are constantly moving, making it impossible to ever feel truly accomplished. By setting our own benchmarks and focusing on internal growth rather than external validation, we can create a more fulfilling and sustainable sense of success.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Morgana’s interdisciplinary approach shines through. She seamlessly integrates business, spiritual, and personal development, demonstrating that these aspects are not separate but deeply interconnected. Whether you’re just starting out or running a seven-figure business, her insights offer valuable guidance for anyone looking to build a life and business that are genuinely reflective of their true selves.
3 AUG 2024 · In the ever-evolving landscape of the modern workplace, understanding and managing organisational culture has never been more crucial.
Rachel Bennett, an HR and organisational development professional, joins us to explore the intriguing concept of ‘shadow cultures.’ Rachel, the founder of https://hr-fusion.co.uk/ and author of the book https://amzn.to/3KCmh3y provides a deep dive into these unseen dynamics that can significantly impact an organisation’s success.Shadow cultures, as Rachel describes, are the disconnects between what is said and what is actually done within an organisation.
 These hidden dynamics often manifest in various ways, from recruitment processes that don’t align with the actual work environment to management behaviours that contradict stated company values. Rachel explains that naming these shadow cultures makes them more tangible, allowing organisations to recognise and address them effectively.
One of the key points Rachel discusses is the role of leadership in shaping organisational culture. She emphasises that people often look to the executive and directors to set the tone. If there is a misalignment at the top, it can create a ripple effect throughout the organisation. Policies and procedures also play a critical role; they must be written in a way that supports the desired culture.
Rachel shares fascinating case studies, including a company that successfully transformed its culture by refurbishing its office space to foster collaboration and inclusivity. This contrasts sharply with organisations that have not recognised their shadow cultures, leading to toxic environments that derail projects and demoralise employees.
Generational differences in the workplace also come under the spotlight. Rachel points out that younger employees, like her 19-year-old son, often crave social interaction and mentorship, which can be challenging in a hybrid working model. Companies that understand and adapt to these needs are more likely to attract and retain top talent.
The latter part of Rachel’s book provides a six-stage tool for cultural transformation, offering a step-by-step approach to effecting change. This methodical process is designed to help organisations tackle shadow cultures incrementally, rather than attempting an overnight overhaul.
As the world of work continues to change, Rachel’s insights are invaluable for any organisation looking to stay ahead of the curve. By recognising and addressing shadow cultures, companies can create a more inclusive, collaborative, and ultimately successful workplace.
