Ep 81: Isolation at the Top, The 3 Crucial Support Categories & Thriving as a Non-Exec Chairman

Isolation at the Top, The 3 Crucial Support Categories & Thriving as a Non-Exec ChairmanWith the right kinds of support and input, NECs can help themselves to thrive and succeed in the role; for the good of the business, the Board and themselves. In this episode I explore this, and pass on a bit of the wisdom shared with me by NECs a few years ago during the research phase of my eBook ‘Autonomy in Relationship - the Human Side of Being a Non-Exec Chairman’.  Non-exec Chairmen are mature, experienced and capable people. They are relatively self-sufficient and able to manage all sorts of challenges. And - they are human beings who benefit from a bit of assistance. Some of this assistance they can provide for themselves. Some of it is more effectively drawn from others. NECs need self-support, external support and relevant input. The more evolved we are - the more sophisticated and nuanced the support and assistance we require.  Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, immaturity or self-indulgence.  Reaching out is a sign of strategic wisdom.  In recognition that we are each our own greatest asset, and the leveraging of that asset yields extraordinary dividends. I recommend my eBook Autonomy in Relationship - The Human Side of Being a Non-Exec Chairman:https://yesyounow.today/chairmanBeyond the Technical and the Legislative …~  What motivates NECs ~ desires, fears and values.~  Why the NEC role is so much more challenging than the CEO role.~  The growth trajectory ~ profound learnings in the NEC role.~  Autonomy in Relationship ~ what this means, and why it’s vital for NECs.~  The science ~ the psychology behind Autonomy in Relationship.~  Support principles & structures for a thriving NEC.Support the show=========================More episodes https://truthandtranscendence.comMore about Catherine / Being Space / Expansive Coaching https://beingspace.world✦ Explore Expansive Coaching If something in your life is beginning to open — or there is a sense of moving toward deeper alignment — you’re warmly invited into this work.This is a space for reflection, unfolding, and spacious conversation.A simple way to begin:🔹 Taste session (20–30 mins) — experience the work directly https://go.oncehub.com/TasteOfExpansiveCoaching🔹 Q&A call (15 mins) — ask questions and sense whether it feels aligned for you https://go.oncehub.com/ExpansiveCoachingQA🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: / https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: / https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://www.youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@beingspace.world Support the podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate
