Meet Bryant. He’s just landed a new Senior Director role at a pharmaceutical company, but instead of feeling elated, he’s staring out the window, consumed by nerves and self-doubt. Over the past 5 years, Bryant has faced 3 layoffs, each one forcing him to ask hard questions: What went wrong? Was it office politics, bad luck, or something he’s missing? Now, as he prepares for his new role, Bryant reflects on his past and wonders how to avoid repeating the same mistakes. He’s determined to find a new path to success. Jay sits down with Dr. Clara Seeger to uncover how Bryant can tackle his emotional hurdles and emerge as a more balanced leader. Dr. Seeger, a specialist in mindfulness and executive coaching, offers invaluable insights on managing emotions and enhancing leadership skills. Tune in to discover the power of sustainable well-being, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices in improving leadership effectiveness and overall emotional health.

Oh, you did it again. Oh, you're going to do it again. You're going to fail.” — Jay Abbasi [29:05] “Compassion practice is really important in the sense of getting in touch with the moment of suffering that is experiencing and noticing the judgments, and normalizing that, accepting that this is a moment of suffering.” — Dr. Clara Seeger [50:19] “When we are angry, look at the anger. Don't look at the person who's triggered the anger because they're only triggering. Turn our awareness back onto ourselves and say, what's happening in my own mind?” — Dr. Clara Seeger [53:31] “Sustainable well-being is something that we cultivate from within, with practices such as gratitude, mindfulness, and compassion.” — Jay Abbasi [55:58] “Bringing 10 to 20% of your attention to yourself throughout the day helps cultivate self-awareness and makes it habitual.” — Jay Abbasi Our Guest Dr. Clara Seeger is a distinguished accredited coach, corporate facilitator, speaker, and author.
