Back in episode 67 we spoke to Andrew Barnes, founder of the global not for profit movement, 4-day week. Andrew told us about the experiment he did at his financial services firm, Perpetual Guardian, where he paid his staff for 4 days but only required them to work 5. What he saw was a boost in productivity and less staff turnover (among many other benefits), all of which equate to more profits.  



Since then we’ve heard of lots of other businesses having a go. What may have seemed like a crazy, or too-good-to-be-true idea, or something that would only work for a minority, is gaining a lot of traction. 



We love the idea of the 4-day week and in today’s episode we share 2 examples of forward-thinking businesses who are putting the 4-day week into action! 



Tina McAulay, Principal Director of McAulay Legal shares the “what, why and how” of the 4-day week in her business: 



* The ‘What’ – Tina explains that she successfully trailed the experiment of working 4-days while paying full time employees a 5-day salary in April 2019 and since then has never looked back.  * The ‘Why’ – Wanting work to be flexible whist keeping staff happy and enabling the workplace to be a positive and enjoyable place.  * The ‘How’ – Tina has committed to shutting down her firm every Wednesday, meaning her staff can rest, wind down and feel refreshed for the rest of the week.  



Nikki Beaumont, founder and CEO of Beaumont People has recently started a 4-day week trial in her business. She shares a snippet about why she decided to trial the initiative and what she hopes to see.

Until next week, happy juggling! 

If you’re anything like us, you probably have an inner voice. One who isn’t always that supportive. In fact, they are often downright mean. 



Last year, a good friend of ours, Jennifer Harris, spoke about this during her presentation at The Retreat, Clarissa Rayward’s annual conference for lawyers. Whilst the talk was delivered to lawyers – it is definitely relevant to anyone who experiences an inner critic. 



Clarissa and Jen have generously allowed us to use some of the audio recording from Jen’s talk to share with you today. We are super excited to share Jen talking about her “C Game”. 



Jen is an incredible woman. She has been named Mentor of the Year on multiple occasions, is a Special Counsel working in a national law firm, and is deeply committed to her husband, twins and extended family. She has had more than her fair share of difficult times – yet she still gives so much to help others navigate their own challenges. 



In this presentation, Jen speaks about how so many of us spend way too much time on Criticising ourselves, Condemning ourselves and Comparing ourselves to others. 



She asks us to replace all these negative C’s with a much more powerful and positive C Game: 



* Be Curious – know and name your feelings and think about why you are feeling them. * Have Compassion – this is most important. Apply self compassion. * Be Courageous – just takes 20 seconds to be brave whether it’s to ask for something, have a difficult conversation or whatever. It becomes easier the more you do it. * Have Confidence – not ego. Back yourself and know that you are enough. Keep a scrapbook of the things you have done. * Create Community – we are all in this together. 



If you want to hear more amazing presentations like this, then grab your tickets now to the 2020 Retreat being held by Clarissa in November in Kingscliffe, NSW.
