#98 - The Emotional Magnetic Load: How Suppressed Emotions Shape Our Lives

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 17:00:00 +0100

Ever wondered why some situations trigger such intense reactions in you? Or why certain people seem to radiate stress, anger, or anxiety? In this episode of Rebel Leader with a Heart, Murielle Machiels explores the concept of the emotional magnetic load—the accumulation of suppressed emotions that impact our well-being, relationships, and even workplace culture.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

✨ Emotions last only 90 seconds if we accept them—but suppressing them creates lasting stress.
✨ Repressed emotions drain energy and activate the fight-or-flight response, leading to burnout.
✨ Emotions are contagious—just like stress spreads in a toxic workplace, calmness and joy can too.
✨ The power of neuroplasticity—the more we repress emotions, the stronger negative patterns become.
✨ Breaking the cycle starts with self-awareness and emotional release techniques.

If you’re a leader, a parent, or simply someone striving for a healthier, more regenerative life, this episode will help you recognize emotional patterns and take the first steps toward emotional freedom.

# 93 Beyond the Code- Human Skills in an AI World with Eve Vleminck

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0100

Explore the intersection of AI and human skills with Eve Vlemincx. Uncover why organizations need to evolve and the essential skills for thriving in an AI-enhanced future.

AI: A Catalyst for Change, Not a Disruptor
The narrative around AI often paints it as a disruptor poised to replace human jobs and complicate the current work environment. However, Vlemincx offers a refreshing perspective, viewing AI as a catalyst that can enhance how we work. She highlights the existing challenges within organizations—low engagement, high burnout rates, and the ever-present war for talent—and suggests that AI can be a tool for addressing these issues. By rethinking our work processes and the role of AI within them, there's a unique opportunity to not only improve efficiency but also tackle some of the systemic problems plaguing today's workplaces.

The Role of Leadership in the AI Era
Leadership in the age of AI requires a fundamental shift from viewing technology as an end to seeing it as a means to achieve broader organizational goals. The conversation with Vlemincx underscores the importance of understanding the purpose behind integrating AI into our systems. The true challenge for leaders is not in adopting the latest AI technologies but in leveraging these tools in a way that aligns with the organization's core values and objectives, without losing sight of the human element that remains at the heart of any successful venture.

Bridging the Skills Gap
A crucial insight from our discussion is the recognition of a significant skills gap within many organizations, particularly in readiness for the AI-driven future. Despite rapid technological advancements, there's a lag in developing the skills necessary to thrive in this new era. Critical analytical thinking, emotional intelligence, and leadership emerge as competencies that need urgent attention. Vlemincx points out the overlooked necessity of preparing the workforce not just technically but also emotionally and intellectually for the changes AI will bring.

Cultivating a Culture of Change
One of the most compelling points made during our talk is the need for a cultural shift towards embracing change. Vlemincx advocates for transitioning from isolated change projects to fostering a culture of continuous adaptation and innovation. This change culture is essential for organizations to navigate the complexities of an AI-enhanced future successfully. It involves rethinking how we approach change, making it an integral part of the organizational DNA rather than a temporary or external effort.

Practical Steps for Leaders
Facing the AI revolution requires leaders to start with introspection and openness to feedback. Vlemincx suggests a proactive approach to leadership that involves understanding one's impact on the team and organization. Embracing change, fostering resilience, and promoting a culture of continuous learning and adaptation are key to preparing for the AI wave. Leaders are encouraged to shift from a reactive to a proactive stance, empowering their teams to leverage AI in a way that augments human capabilities and enhances organizational outcomes.

In conclusion, as we stand on the brink of the AI revolution, the insights shared by Eve Vlemincx offer a valuable roadmap for leaders. The journey ahead is not about battling the wave of technological advancements but about learning to surf it with agility, foresight, and a deep understanding of the transformative potential of AI.

#91 - Measuring conscious leadership: why and how? with Karine Becker

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:00:00 +0200

Hi everybody! In this podcast episode of Rebel Leader With a Heart, I am having a conversation with conscious leader and founder of Hire & Higher, Karine Becker. We will discuss the importance of having conscious leaders, not only for your organization, but for the planet as well!

Who is Karine?

Karine is a loving mother of two daughters and is the founder and conscious leader of Hire & Higher, an executive search firm focussing on recruiting sustainable, conscious leaders. Karine decided to make this transition because at some point, she realized that things weren’t going so well for our planet. She still loved recruitment, but she was missing some purpose, that’s when she decided to focus more on companies who want to do a transition and find conscious leaders that will empower them and will accelerate that transition towards more sustainability.

What is a conscious leader?

The word ‘conscious’ has different meanings in different contexts and Karine and myself also have a different point of view on its definition, so I was curious to ask her: “How do you define a conscious leader?”

“A conscious leader is someone who works for the common good and is guided by a vision that takes into account all stakeholders of the company as well as the profit of the company. It is someone who wants to work for the good of all people, but also for the greater good of the planet, taking into account the impact their company have on the planet.”

For me a conscious leader is also somebody that is conscious of their values, but also their behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and especially under pressure. But on most views, Karine and I agree and even complement each other.

Are you serving your stakeholders?

There is an exercise I often give on workshops. I want you to think of the stakeholders you have. And now I want you to think of your day-to-day work. Where does your focus go to? TO the headquarters? To financial expectations? Or is it more to the people, the customers or the planet. It’s good to be aware that there is often a gap between your day-to-day actions and the actions that would greatly benefit your stakeholders and afterwards, the company itself.

How do you find these leaders?

Well firstly, Karine has designed an executive value tool. It works like a sustainable filter for the recruitment process and gives an indication whether the values of the candidate match the values of the company. It also gives a set of fundamental values matching to the candidate and gives a percentage that defines the consciousness level of that person.

Are companies ready to recruit these conscious leaders?

At first, most organizations were still racing around like headless chickens, checking as much checkboxes as possible to satisfy demands from higher up the chain. But since the pandemic, people could finally take a step back and think about our personal health and our planet’s health. That’s when the demand started rising quickly. Times have gotten so fast, that we NEED conscious leaders to facilitate these fast transitions. If companies want to attract young talent and people who are very talented but lost their motivation, this conscious and sustainable transition is a necessity.

I hope you have learned just how important it is for the growth of organizations to transition towards a more conscious and sustainable way of working and being. Karine explained that recruiting in this way of thought is a crucial step to reach this state. I found it fascinating to discuss this topic with her! If you want to learn more a

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0100

Humankind has become super-productive. Over the course of multiple decades and centuries, advancements in technology and management have allowed us to automate many activities and become more productive. However, this increase in productivity does not at all mean that the workload has decreased over this period. On the contrary, people – on average – are working two hours more everyday since the pandemic. If more productivity isn’t the solution, then what is?

#81 - A recipe to deal with chaos with Carole Lamarque

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0200

With the upcoming digitalization, COVID, with the war going on, there are a lot of shortages! Shortage of materials, shortage of time, and shortage of talent. We truly live in a chaotic world and that isn’t easy to handle. That’s why in this episode of Rebel Leader with a Heart, I have an amazing conversation with one of the founders of Duval Union, Carole Lamarque about dealing with this uncertainty and chaos in today’s fast-changing world.

For more like this & free resources: https://www.qileader.com/

Digitalization has been up and coming for a little while now. But still, changes and innovations in technology are made every day. This in combination with the inflation, the war in Ukraine and COVID leads to a ton of chaos and uncertainty. That’s why in today’s podcast, I have an amazing conversation with Carole Lamarque, the founder of Duval Union.

Who is Carole?

Carole has always been interested in crisis management and dealing with exponential growth. Remaining calm in the centre of a storm is what she has been doing for years on end. She says her passion for marketing defines her and she always seeks to go viral and create exponential growth. She also has written multiple books to inspire other leaders to deal with crises.

What’s the secret to leading in chaos?

Sooooo, how the hell are we supposed to satisfy our investors and bosses with so little information? How are we supposed to keep up and not burn ourselves out in the lightning-fast times? Carole gives us four great tips for this!

First of all, crises are here to stay. Our world is in a constant state of change and accepting this will make our lives so much easier. It is super important not to prepare for the previous crisis, but rather, we should understand what we can take from one crisis to another. We need to accept that we will never have all the information to make decisions. If a leader can accept that chaos is a normal part of the process, they can help their colleagues calm down and be in the right state of mind to make decisions and be innovative.

Secondly, creating the habit of making and changing plans on the go is one of the most important tips great crisis managers give. It’s not the ability to follow a plan that’s important, but rather having the agility to adapt to and overcome uncertain situations. You should manage unexpected situations through your agility habits, not because you had a certain plan in advance.

Thirdly, remember that you are never alone. You’re only one element in the solution to a problem. Share your knowledge with others and don’t underestimate their power to help you!

And last but not least, never stop learning! Everything around us is changing all the time, so keeping up is super important. It’s never too late to pick up classes or courses to learn about upcoming trends or read a good book about it.

How to properly get help from others

If you want to deal with chaos and uncertainty, you should never underestimate the help you can get from others, even if they have a different area of expertise. There are many ways of getting help from others and Carole gave me a couple of great tips. First of all, never underestimate the power of youth. What others sometimes see as naiveté, can often be a clever idea that can lead to great innovation. You also need a lot of energy in chaotic times and youngsters have plenty of that!

Another great way of getting help, is to have conversations with people who have a completely different area of expertise and analyze the process they follow in uncertain times. You can often draw things from these conversations that

#71 How to drastically reduce virtual meetings & boost engagement

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 12:00:00 +0100

How can teamwork be more fun again? How can we reduce the number of virtual meetings? How can we increase engagement and feel less fatigued? Is quitting the only answer to feeling tired of work?

In this episode, I’ll answer these questions and more.

Never in my career have I seen so many people feeling exhausted, disengaged, anxious, or stressed. The workload is extremely high everywhere. People are reviewing their priorities, and the great resignation has started leaving even more workload for those who stay. People are also missing the fun of collaborating the deeper conversations with their colleagues, the informal exchanges that inspire or give this boost in motivation. Work has become very transactional and focused on tasks and projects.

How can we make work fun & meaningful again? Listen to this episode.

#49 A meditation for when life is throwing you a challenge

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0200

When I face a big challenge that makes me feel bad, I want to escape that feeling at all cost. And sometimes, I then act from a place of fear, of anger, of sadness, of resignation instead of responding from a place of love or with actions aligned with my values & who I really am so that I reach my desired outcome.

That’s when I grow and reach amazing results.

But to get there, I often like listening to a meditation. And that’s what I wanted to offer you. A meditation, you can listen to every time you face a big challenge.

That meditation will help you feel better and act with more skillful action.

We feel uncomfortable faced with these challenges and we hate the twisted feeling in our body that comes with it. Today, I wanted to talk about using these unpleasant feelings and use them as strengths to grow further as a leader, but also as a human.

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0100

In 2020, life, as we knew it, changed drastically and it had a huge impact on workers.

#45 Knowing & doing isn't enough, it's something else that matters today

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0100

I wanted to increase empowerment and autonomy in my organization, but at first, stress and burnout increased. Because of the freedom and autonomy, people got more motivation and wanted to work harder and deliver better results. I asked myself the question: “How can you stop working harder and reach even better results?” Through experience and trial and error, I learned the key ingredients to answer that question. In this podcast, I will share with you the answer!

#43 The easiest way to stop being squeezed between your management and what you want

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0100

Do you recognize this situation? Your boss comes to you with high expectations and asks you to deliver a project you know you can’t deliver with the time and resources you have. Yet, you still want to prove that you are driven and you can deliver in high-pressure situations, or you simply don’t want to disappoint. So you say yes to the request, even though it might suck the energy out of you and make you feel less motivated.
Many leaders have come to me with this kind of situation, so in this podcast episode, I will answer the following question: How can you respond to high expectations coming from your management, customers or headquarters, without sabotaging your career or work-life balance?

#32 Bring the informal chat & fun in remote teams. But how?

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 09:00:00 +0100

In March 2020, COVID-19 hit us pretty hard. Most of us ended up working from our homes and in the beginning, this was nice.
No more traffic, more time to spend with your family or yourself, and getting more autonomy. But quickly, we realized that this wasn’t always so great… We started forgetting when to take breaks because it was so hard distinguishing work from home.
But one of the biggest negative impacts I noticed with a lot of people, is loneliness. You don’t have these coffee chats or breaks with your colleagues anymore and everything is serious and formal.

In this podcast, I will tell you guys how to bring back the informal and the fun into the remote team.

Whatever you want to buy or to do something, you must choose between so many opportunities. We live in a world of choices. We get triggered from everywhere, our phone, our computer, at work, at home. The more you have, the more you need to work, the more stress you have, … I realize that I needed more space for time, for creativity, and for myself.

Would you like to have more autonomy at work or maybe an increased salary? Do you want people to follow your vision? Last week, we discussed how a bad decision can be imposed on you, especially in the workplace. To counter a bad decision, it is crucial to learn how to sell your ideas like a pro!

In today’s episode, you will learn how you can get what you want with my TRADE method and how I have used it in a real-life situation.

#7 One big reason behind bad decisions at work

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 09:00:00 +0200

Are you tired of bad decisions imposed on you? Why are so many bad decisions made at work? And why being a large organization isn’t an advantage anymore?

Organizations like to centralize decisions to reduce costs. But economies of scale are often not working anymore in VUCA times. And that can lead to bad decisions imposed on you. In today’s episode, I explain why economies of scale are often counterproductive, when to go for them and what you should do instead to reduce costs. We’ll also talk about the gap between a plan in a spreadsheet and the reality of implementing it.

#6 How to manage your mindset

Tue, 16 Jun 2020 06:00:00 +0200

How can you change your mindset?

Every successful transformation starts with a new mindset. With your new mindset, you’ll suddenly see possibilities that weren’t visible to you before. And you need a new mindset for your personal transformation but also for the success of your organization. In today’s podcast, I’ll share how to grow your mindset but also why showing up as a strong leader wasn’t serving me anymore. I also talk about the pressure coming from my shareholders, about my little voice telling me “I’m not good enough” and all the mindset shifts I had to make for a meaningful life & organization.

#5 The choice to make for a better work-life balance (Interview with CEO Valerie Urbain)

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0200

Do you want a better work-life balance? Do you believe you should choose between having a great life or a great career? That is not the choice you should make. In fact, having both makes you a better leader. In this episode, I interview Valérie Urbain, CEO of Euroclear Bank. I believe she embodies the leadership traits of a leader in disruptive times. She'll share how she leads, how she manages her stress, and the choice she made to have a great career & life.

#4 What you should manage before taking action

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 12:00:00 +0200

Have you ever been in this loop where whatever action you take, you don't seem to get the results you want? You try to deliver what is expected from you, you go from one meeting to the next, from one project to the next and still, it's not enough to reach the outcome you want. And at the end of the day, you can be exhausted.
That's because there is one thing you need to manage before everything else. One thing that made all the difference for Apple & Spotify. And it's because they didn't manage that very well that the traditional music players lost revenues and that some of them even disappeared.
Whether you are a person or an organization, you should always manage this before your actions. Simply being action-oriented isn't enough anymore in our fast-changing digital times.
When I came across this concept at almost 40, it transformed my life and I wondered "Why didn't I learn this in school or at university?". Today, I teach this to my MBA students, to the leaders in my programs and I even taught this to my children.
It changed my life and managing this will transform yours.

#3 The biggest mistake traditional or busy leaders make

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 11:00:00 +0200

Many leaders think that to reinvent their organization, they need a new strategy and a strong implementation plan. In the past, that was indeed enough and that was the way to success. And when you faced a lot of challenges you could compensate by working hard. But today, in our fast-changing digital world, working hard doesn't work anymore. It's not enough to get the results you want and it can even stand in the way of your success.
In this episode, I'll share what you should do instead. It's a habit that many great leaders like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet master very well.
It'll help you reach amazing results with a great work-life balance.
But I have to warn you, it's a habit that isn't easy to adopt. That is why so many people are very busy, working really hard for too little impact.
If there is one thing I want you to start doing from this whole podcast show, it will be to adopt this habit.
It transformed my life as a CEO, as a leader, and as a mom.

#2 The one thing to stop being so busy

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 10:00:00 +0200

Why are leaders so busy? Why are organizations not adapting fast enough? In this episode, I'll share why that is and what you should start doing to be successful in these disruptive & fast times.

Do you have too many things to do? Do you lack clarity at work?
Are your plans constantly changing? Sometimes even before the implementation has started?
Are you spending more time in meetings than doing your actual job? Are you facing collaboration & communication issues or even silo thinking?
Have the stress & burnouts increased at work?
And finally, are you sometimes frustrated by stupid decisions that are imposed on you? Or worse, waiting for decisions that never come?

These are all symptoms that you are using business techniques of slow times in fast times. And if you try to compensate by working harder, by trying to control & deliver everything, it might be that you are using habits of slow times in fast times.
Listen to discover what you could do instead.
