(249) Build Faff-Slaying Systems to Transform Your Effectiveness with Asmara Kazmi Asmara Kazmi, also known as the faff slayer, is a systems master that radically disrupts paradigms and transforms effectiveness and enables high performance in organisations and individuals! Such a wonderful conversation where we covered:  Radical regenerative systems The power of the energy matrix Shiny Object Syndrome  And so much more!  ABOUT Asmara Kazmi Asmara is Brooklyn-bred but Yorkshire-based, which means her hybridized vocabulary delights and confuses both sides of the Atlantic—just kidding, of course. Her background is in psychology, and she was going to go to medical school before realizing there is nothing about healthcare systems that espouses health for anyone—patient or practitioner. So, she decided to use her love of systems (which started from a fortuitous gift of red lipstick), interdisciplinary syntheses, and natural tech/organizational savviness to help folks live more impactful and joyous lives. A fun fact about Asmara: She does something new daily; it's how she lives her life (currently, she has a 720+ day streak going), a habit which also forms the heart of her first book, Paradigm Playground. CONNECT with Asmara Kazmi www.linkedin.com/in/asmara-kazmi www.theopsroom.co.uk (undergoing Doctor-Who style regeneration, ha)  VIDEO of this episode: YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/3e-s7egEYI8   ABOUT Katie Stoddart: Katie Stoddart is an award-winning, international, leadership & performance coach.
