This episode was recorded just before my diagnosis and it is helping me get through my healing journey and with getting used to a new normal for life at the moment. No matter where you are or what you’re going through right now, this podcast is relevant for anyone going through change whether it’s in the workplace or life.

The roads you've travelled may influence you, but they don't have to define you. With self-control, you are in charge.

Dr. Jane Foster, our guest for this podcast episode, believes that we may be unable to control people and circumstances, but we can always learn to control how we respond to them.

Dr. Foster is the Founder and Director of Emotional Resilience Training. She's also an educator, researcher, presenter, and author of It's in Your Hands: Your Steering Wheel, Your Choice. She holds a PhD in Health and Education and is qualified in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, and Yoga.

Key Take Aways:

We delved into Dr. Foster's experience and how it motivated her to develop a universal language that replaces blame, judgment, and retaliation with responsibility, empathy, and compassion.

  • Taking responsibility positively impacts self-esteem and self-regulation
  • People who say or do hurtful things are the ones on a rough road.
  • Just because you are alone on your road doesn’t mean you are going in the wrong direction.
  • Proactive strategies to help build emotional resilience, manage daily stresses, successfully change perspectives and create new neural pathways
  • Using metaphors to gain objectivity
  • Introducing the steering wheel replaces blame with responsibility and control
  • Don't wish for smoother roads. Aim for greater skills to handle all conditions.
  • Empowering people with the tools and confidence to lead from within.
