With me on the podcast today is Louise Baxter. Louise has significant experience in senior roles in the commercial and NFP sectors and is described as an “inspiring and authentic leader”. She is Starlight's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director.

Louise is passionate about the creation of organisational purpose and believes this is key to delivering maximum impact through people. She practises positive leadership and has been successful in developing high-performing teams within a culture where change is embraced and innovation is embedded.

Louise has been acknowledged by CEO Magazine in 2016 as Australia’s NFP Executive of the Year and in 2019 Louise was listed in Pro Bono Australia’s Impact 25 which recognised the 25 most influential and inspirational people in Australia’s social sector, as nominated by their peers.

Louise makes it count by empowering her team to connect with organisational purpose and alignment and ensuring they identify with the wider impact.

Louise shares how a desire to be the best leader and coach, as well as a desire for new challenges led her to step into the role of CEO.

She discusses what can undermine teams and the importance of listening to feedback, which is part of the great culture she cultivates at Starlight.

Louise shares how she led her team to develop Starlight’s unique Shine Values, and how these ground and inspire the organisation in a really authentic way. She also reveals how positive psychology allows her team to achieve better outcomes, explains how it is not about toxic positivity, and what automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) are.

Louise shares the ways in which Starlight was match fit for COVID-19, how Louise embeds trust in Starlight’s culture and how managing and nurturing relationships is the most important thing you can do as a leader.

I could have spoken to Louise all day! This conversation was incredibly inspiring and generous - there are so many lessons for leaders, both emerging and career professionals. Enjoy!

Today I welcome Lison Mage onto the podcast - an author, corporate facilitator, and performance and mindset coach. Lison specialises in helping people to stop overthinking, and her new book Act Before You overThink helps people foster a growth mindset.

Overthinking is something a lot of us do, so I know there will be many keen listeners to today’s episode!

In our conversation, Lison shares how she journeyed from an engineer in France to working in software in Shanghai and then finally to Australia and her true vocation - empowering people and teams to perform at their full potential.

Lison is so passionate! She makes it count by helping people step into curiosity and audacity. Lison shares with us that in order to find what fulfils us, we have to be willing to experience new things. She helps people get unstuck and achieve what’s meaningful for them.

In our conversation, Lison reveals the six most common types of overthinking and her top three tips to stop overthinking.

We also learn how to make a hard choice without overthinking it, and the role that mindset shift and values-based approach play in helping us move from a difficult choice to an easy decision.

If you’re an overthinker, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it, allowing you to liberate your mind and step into your full potential.
