Lieve Hendren on Finding More Joy, Flow, and Focus at Work","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2913,"description":"Early in her career, Lieve Hendren spent her days working with consulting executives in high-pressure environments and her nights performing as an opera singer. She began using the performance psychology techniques she learned onstage to help herself and her teams handle stressful meetings, improve their work, and perform at a higher level.\n\nBut that constant pressure eventually took a toll on her health. Her search for a more sustainable way to perform became the foundation for her book, The Joyful Flow Formula: Quickly Access Brain States for Peak Performance and Eliminate Needless Work Stress.\n\nIn this conversation, Lieve shares practical ways to access flow, from visualizing a meeting before you walk into the room to intentionally creating more joy in tasks you’ve been avoiding. We also talk about leading clients through stressful situations, regulating your own energy, and why a calm, confident leader can completely change the tone of a difficult conversation.\n\nWe also get into doom scrolling, procrastination, and how to make challenging work feel more rewarding. Lieve even coaches me through my ongoing struggle with answering the important emails sitting in my red-star folder.\n\nLieve is a high-performance and workflow coach who helps professionals reduce stress and access creative flow. She has worked with more than 340 leaders and organizations, helped scale a startup from two to 28 employees before its acquisition, and is studying the neuroscience of mental health at King’s College London.\n\nLieve’s work is an important reminder that doing your best work does not have to mean pushing harder or working longer. When you learn how to manage your attention, energy, and environment, you can create better work while experiencing more joy in the process.\n\nFind this episode for free on your favorite podcast player.\n\n\nTune into this episode to hear:\nHow Lieve brought performance psychology techniques from the opera stage into high-pressure consulting environments...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BVd2gXa8nu7ENnIYI3dJBLFfLeOiM5AlwwL60YS5Ugw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMmZl/MmM1Y2FhY2NiZTY2/YTAzMGY4Y2ZkNDJj/NzkyNy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
