With a PhD from Cambridge in the Psychology of Change and top-tier coaching credentials, she helps leaders sharpen their mindset, unlock their potential, and lead with confidence.Rather than over-complicating things, Elicia’s approach removes the barriers that hold leaders back, helping them focus on what truly matters. In our conversation, we explore how storytelling can shape organisational leadership, the importance of having continuity of purpose, and the impact of core values on the motivation of leaders and their teams.In this episode:00:00 Meet Elicia – social psychologist and high-profile leadership coach.05:15 Staying true to personal values makes embracing change easier, leading to smoother transitions and greater acceptance.08:08 Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back - it’s about understanding your personal narratives to recover and grow after setbacks.13:10 The difference between Values with a capital "V" (organisational and aspirational) and values with a lowercase "v" (personal preferences that shape perception).17:15 How leaders can use storytelling to embed values into workplace culture.22:13 Change can feel like a threat to identity and past success - why emphasising continuity helps leaders guide teams through transitions.27:34 The power of storytelling in shaping transformation and reinforcing unspoken norms and expectations.40:49 How highlighting certain behaviours and outcomes can attract or deter people, shaping strong and diverse organisations.51:26 In tough times, discussing shared values can create unity and provide a sense of direction.Connect with Elicia here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliciarobinson/Please like, subscribe or follow, so you're notified of any new episodes coming up, and if you're keen to reach Rusty or Simon with any suggestions, feedback or comments, you can contact them via the show's LinkedIn page here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-bouncebackability-podcast/
