Kim-Adele Platts
Making Conversations about Leadership Count!
Kim-Adele Platts champions the human spirit, putting confidence, kindness and humanity back into leadership.
In this conversation, Kim-Adele and Wendy talk about why we are so quick to encourage other people and so slow to encourage ourselves. Kim-Adele shares the “Primark brush off”, the habit of batting away a compliment the moment it arrives, and why accepting one is not egotistical. They talk about putting life on hold for the perfect moment, why every interview leaves you one step closer, imposter syndrome, and how long it can take to realise we are perfectly imperfect.
Kim-Adele’s conversation that counted came when she became a mum in her forties, and realised she had been carrying every mistake she had ever made. It changed how she thinks about being kind to yourself.
They finish on choosing a coach, and why the first conversation has to be about whether you can trust them.
“At our simplest, human beings want to be listened to, they want to be understood and they want to be respected.”
