​As a nonprofit leader, podcasts can be a fabulous asset to your growth and development. 

Do you listen to podcasts? I sure do. Podcasts are a great way to get updates, information, knowledge and often a good chuckle!

​I started my podcast, The Surviving to Thriving Podcast, in 2020. After 92 episodes, I took a summer break to rethink how to produce it best for you. I am working on a new 8-episode series to help you invest in your development. Stay tuned for a release date coming soon!

Podcasts can be an integral part of your leadership development

Listening to podcasts can be valuable for personal and professional growth and leadership development. Below are five podcasts I regularly listen to and a favourite episode from each.

​You'll notice that not all the podcasts are related to leadership. Listening to podcasts not directly related to leadership can offer tons of benefits for you. Here's why you might listen to them:

Why you need to listen to podcasts outside of the leadership genre

You might need to broaden your perspective

Many challenges you face in leadership are complex and multifaceted. Exploring different topics and interests can expand your perspective, which is crucial for effective leadership. It helps you see the bigger picture and can provide fresh approaches to problem-solving. 

If you are working through a problem and hit the PONDER part of the Inner Guidance Cycle, listening to something not directly to leadership may open you up to seeing new perspectives. ​

It could be time for a bit of stress relief and relaxation:

​Leaders often deal with a high level of responsibility. Podcasts unrelated to work can serve as a mental break, preventing burnout. Listening to podcasts about hobbies, mindfulness, or more fiction styles can help you unwind and reduce stress. 

Some say true crime podcasts do that for them. I am definitely not one of them!

Investing time into listening to podcasts can be a powerful means of self-improvement, offering a wealth of insights, motivation, and support for your leadership journey.

Some of my favourite podcasts episodes

The Science of Happiness

How Holding Yourself Can Reduce Stress

Re: Thinking with Adam Grant

Why Meetings Suck and How to Fix Them

Daring Greatly with Brene Brown

Lisa Lahey on Immunity to Change. This is a two-part episode
  • Part 1 
  • Part 2

How We Live Now with Kathrine May

​Dachner Kelter on awe, humility and purpose
Dachner is also the host of The Science of Happiness podcast I listed above.

Let me know which podcast you listen to and what you'd recommend for me. I'm always interested in expanding my podcast listening experience!

p.s. Part of inner work is expanding what you put into your inner sphere. Podcasts are a great way to "Do the inner work!"
