Zora Lazarov: Exploring psychological unsafety

Zora speaks with us about her ‘jump’ from working for a number of high end organisations…Including Apple, Deloitte, Ericsson, Ikea and Syngenta to name a few…as a psychologist, senior people partner numerous leadership teams…to becoming a ‘mumpreneur’ who works with mindset and behaviour disruption.

Through this work Zora crafts really concrete and tangible journeys for leaders to evolve not only their career, but also the evolution of their overall wellbeing.

We cover a lot  in this conversation and I cannot wait for you to tune in.

Zora brings us so much wisdom from her insights in the arenas of neurodiversity, behaviour change, disruption, psychological unsafety, and our day to day choices.

 

Power Takeaways:

• 20 years in corporate human resources.

• Being a mumpreneur in ‘growth phase’.

• Exploring how Zora’s ADHD has played out in her life.

• Emotional regulation and impulse control. Thanking ADHD for giving Zora the courage to jump out of Apple.

• Relating impulsive decisions to buying dogs and houses (and whirlpools!) 

• When male executives are given the space and opportunity to take off the harness

• We often see the ‘A’ in the alpha male as one thing…very quickly it can turn to Anxiety or Apathy.

• To help ‘armour down’ and to offer powerful tools for these leaders so that they have choice over their behaviour again.

• What does it mean to have psychological unsafety?

• Exploring what “beautiful mess” means to Zora.

• Connecting this framework to parenting her two children.

• Planting the seeds of her business in the garden of growth…and we have to be ok with our garden looking like a beautiful mess of a garden.
