In this moment, neuroscientist and bestselling author, Dr Tara Swart discusses the brain-body impacts of stress and the dangers of being around stressful people. While people think of stress as being solely a mental health problem, it can physical health impacts, the most obvious being an increase in belly fat. This fat is a result of the stress hormone cortisol, which because of evolution, tells your body to hold onto fat as a survival mechanism. Because of this, you can’t shift this belly weight with either diet or exercise, the only thing that will change it is addressing the stress that is causing the release of cortisol. Dr Swart also says that leaders who cannot handle their stress, who she calls, ‘leaky cortisol people’, can cause a trickle down effect in an organisation, causing stress and negative health impacts on the people below them.Listen to the full episode hereApple - https://g2ul0.app.link/BIZuIuDPwIbSpotify - https://g2ul0.app.link/NGE9aaHPwIbWatch the Episodes On Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosTara:Instagram: https://bit.ly/48hJ1k2Twitter: https://bit.ly/46gqYZI Learn more about your ad choices.

In this moment, behavioural expert and dating coach, Logan Ury discusses the 3 fundamental things to look for in a partner. Too often people have a rigid list of exact traits that they want in their future partner in relationship science this is called, ‘relationship shopping’. This is the idea of shopping for your partner like you would do with any product online. However, more often than not, people end up in a long term relationship with someone who has none of these traits. The reason for this is that while people may think they know what they want, they are wrong. Instead, Logan says you need to date like a scientist, experimenting and constantly changing your hypothesis of what you want in a partner. This can be achieved by using Logan’s 8 questions to ask yourself after a date, the focus of this is examining who are you around that person, and what side of you do they bring out, as this is who you will be for the rest of the relationship.Listen to the full episode hereApple - https://g2ul0.app.link/sXZ3OZpToHbSpotify - https://g2ul0.app.link/nAu4hnmToHbWatch the Episodes On Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosLogan:https://www.loganury.comhttps://www.instagram.com/loganury/?hl=en Learn more about your ad choices.

In this moment, bestselling author and business leadership speaker, Simon Sinek discusses quiet quitting and the importance of expectation management when it comes to work. Simon says that both employers and employees need to be more open and honest about what they want from their professional relationship. For instance, he says that Amazon is very open that it is a very tough and competitive culture, so people can choose whether they want to work in that sort of environment. Equally, employees need to be honest about how they want work to fit into their life, do they want an easy casual job or do they want to push hard and be ambitious. Simon believes we need to treat work like a conversation, previously it has been treated like a speech where workers were told what they were going to do, but now people can ask, why does work have to be that way?Listen to the full episode here - Apple- https://g2ul0.app.link/nv4jKFbt9HbSpotify-  https://g2ul0.app.link/hZEYgPgt9HbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosSimon: https://simonsinek.com Learn more about your ad choices.
