105: Michelle Booth: Unmasking Success: True Happiness Beyond Societal Expectations
I’m so grateful to Michelle Booth, Head of Growth and Innovation at Lloyds Bank for her bravery in sharing her story of seemingly having it all yet feeling deeply unhappy and suicidal.
To discover what was important to her and not conforming to what society says you ‘should do and have’.
Michelle's story is a testament to the importance of authenticity and self-discovery in the pursuit of genuine fulfilment.
Key discussion points:
- Emotions are not a weakness; understanding and expressing them appropriately can strengthen leadership and team cohesion
- Concerns about the potential misuse of emotions to avoid critical feedback
- Acknowledging that Psychological safety is an input, not an output
- How stand-up comedy and a clowning course helped to overcome failure
- the essential components required to drive innovation and creativity within organisations
- The importance of giving and receiving feedback effectively - it's not the leader's job to manage people's feelings but to maintain a space where emotions and feedback can coexist
- The power of humour and resilience
- The illusion of certainty and embracing uncertainty as a catalyst for innovation and growth
