• Walk and Talk - Challenging self and assumptions

  Towards the end of last year, a few things happened that triggered my thinking around how we tend to make assumptions about others and about things around us. One of these things was the 'hell yes / f*ck no' mantra, which I believe may lead to losing opportunities that may intiially not seem like a 'hell yes', though may become one later. Thanks to Todd Kashdan, I have picked up five criteria, which I find useful when deciding what opportunities to pursue! Similarly, there have been a few things that triggered my strength of counterpoint, particularly around categories and fitting in. I would love to know your thoughts, what assumptions do you make? What categories do you put yourself in?

• Walk and Talk - An invitation to eavesdrop with Dan Weijers

  I recently had the pleasure of hosting Dan Weijer on my podcast, and it was a fabulous conversation. We delved into deep and thought-provoking topics, exploring philosophy, wellbeing, determinism, and free will. The discussion was both wide-ranging and profound, touching on questions that shape how we think about life. At the same time, we kept things engaging and practical, weaving in some fun practicalities that made the conversation both meaningful and enjoyable. It was a fascinating exchange, and I can’t wait for you to hear it!

• Walk and Talk - Reflections on death

  Death is a very interesting topic, especially when looking at it through a positive psychology lens.In 2024, there were a number of positive psychology researchers that passed away, including Felicia Huppert, Paul Wong, and Phil Zimbardo, and in this episode, I reflect on their lives, contributions and their deaths. I reflect on the impact of grief and loss, and how this can come in different ways at different times. Positive psychology looks at death acceptance, approach acceptance, escape acceptance.Acceptance of death is very important, how do we engage with death in a way that gives us a sense of meaning, purpose and legacy?

• Walk and Talk - In Conversation with Dr Robert Biswas-Diener

  It was wonderful to have Robert Biswas-Diener join me for another live ‘In Conversation’ with my Learn with Sue Community. This time we had the opportunity to hear from Robert on his newly launched book Radical Listening, co-authored with Christian van Nieuwerburgh. It was interesting to hear Robert’s thoughts on the important concepts such as intention when listening, and some of the motives we have when listening, whether internal or external, and some of the skills involved.  I really enjoyed our conversation, and I am delighted to share a snippet of it with you all!
