The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself. So it’s important that it’s filled with nothing but love.
This month in Rogue we explore strategies for cultivating and operating from a solid foundation of self love. If you want to join us, DM me the word LOVE and we can chat further ❤️❤️
I’m doing Rogue a bit differently this year.
I’ll be announcing the topic at the beginning of each month, and as I build the workbook across the weeks I’ll drop relevant ideas, musings and tips on the socials. These will be little teasers for what’s in the bigger workbook.
I think this will be more fun for me and will enable more content for you to support your professional and personal growth.

December Rogue Woman workbook is about creating the habits to build habits of gratitude.
This is the perfect topic for December as it’s all about reflecting, taking stock and appreciating all that you’ve achieved this year. It could be gratefulness for the big stuff, or (perhaps even more importantly) it could be the small things. By stopping to reflect on the goodness that exists in our life we help shape our brain to be happier, healthier and more effective.
If you’d like to join the incredible community of women dedicated to growing their professional and personal capabilities, come join us in Rogue by sending me a direct message to book an exploratory call to ensure this program is right for you. Much love, Teags

When I look back at my career I realise how much of my growth, opportunities and impact has been the result of the influence I have with others.
In most of my career I have not been in formal positions of power (i.e. I have not been people’s direct reporting line manager), but I have been tasked with the responsibility to influence the hearts, minds and behaviours of a diverse range of people.
The ability to influence others is an incredibly powerful tool that will enable you to achieve greatness in your career. In this workbook I share some of my personal strategies along with the advice and recommendations of professionals far more advanced in this topic than myself.
I have learnt much through putting this workbook together and hope you do too. I’m now off to deep dive into my own networks of influence and identify new ways of developing my skills in this area.

THIS DOESN’T WORK!
This great quote from Influence is Your Superpower by @zoebchance highlights the generalised difference between men and women when it comes to asking for what we want.
Women tend to sit back, waiting for their hard work to be recognised. Whereas men tend to ask for the promotion, pay rise, exciting project, better conditions.
In my coaching work I see this play out. Women work themselves to the bone, trying to be everything to everyone. Hoping someone will recognise all they’re doing. But you know what…? No one does. They just grow to accept that’s your norm. Nothing special. It just is.
Instead, I’ve learnt that if we want to obtain something, we need to instigate it. I’ve seen this truth in my own career. We need to take actions to make it happen.
So let me ask you… What do you want, but haven’t yet asked for?
Don’t forget to BREATH!
I know it sounds weird, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught myself holding my breath or doing shallow breaths whilst hunched over my computer.
This impact of this is lower oxygen levels entering my body, mental fatigue, shoulder tension and generally feeling crabby. Building little moments of mindfulness into my work day helps to catch myself when I’m starting to slump and breath shallow.
This month in Rogue I’m sharing with you the most practical mindfulness techniques to help your work performance. #roguewomen #womeninconstruction #womeninmining #womeninengineering
Yep, I’m still here! I just needed a break from the gram for a while. I’m now back (I think… 😁) and looking forward to bringing you more fun and educational content. Let me know if there’s any topics you’d particularly like me to cover xx

To react or to respond? That is the question.
When something happens in our world that triggers an emotion, we have the power to choose how we want to respond. It might not always be obvious, but irrespective of what happens, we always have choice.
The space between an event and our response could either be the quickest flicker or the widest chasm. In the quick flicker we are usually reacting, rather than responding. This is because we are at the mercy of our childhood programming, our habits, our unmet needs, our biological survival systems. These can often be highly emotional responses that often escalate the situation.
But when we begin to use tools to increase the space between the event and our response we are able to process and regulate our emotions more effectively to achieve constructive outcomes.

AUGUST WORKBOOK IS OUT NOW!!
Emotions play a fundamental role in our lives, shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and interactions with others.
In the workplace, being aware of and able to regulate our emotions is critical to our success and career goals. It is a central part of being an emotionally intelligent leader and/or team member.
To become effective at managing our emotions, the first skill we must build is to effectively identify and label our emotions. Often this is a challenging experience as most of us aren’t taught at an early stage how to correctly distinguish our emotions, let alone develop strategies for regulating the emotions which may be perceived as negative or of a lower vibration. When unconscious, these types of emotions can lead us to behaviours which are unresourceful or even destructive to our goals.
I must admit, I found it challenging to identify the right information to include in this workbook - there is just so much good stuff! However, what I have selected is a solid foundation for deepening your understanding and presents strategies which can be applied in the moment to regulate your emotions.
If you’re part of The BCW ROGUE Women Community you can access the workbook via the learning portal. If you’re not in ROGUE but still would like to get access, send me a DM with the word “Emotions” and I’ll hook you up. ❤️
So you’re having a conflict and realise you’re in the wrong and need to say “sorry”.
Now there’s a constructive way to say sorry, and a destructive way to say sorry.
When we say “Sorry, but…”, we are diminishing the power and impact of our sorry.
When we say “Sorry, and…”, we are building upon our apology.
I’ve found this slight word change to be such a powerful shift in those moments of tense conflict (especially when having conflict with someone close to us 😉).
It takes the heat out of the conversation, the other person feels heard and recognised, and you can still put forward your points of view.
Go on, give it a try and let me know if you notice a difference in how the confluct conversation progresses.
🙋♀️ Who else can relate to this?
Every moment is an opportunity to reflect, learn and grow.
All the tough times, all the joyous times have built you into the incredible human you are today!
Happy #womeninengineering day to all the incredible women leading change across our industrial industries!
Your perspectives, approaches, designs and ideas are truly making our industries better and creating a more inclusive and safer world for us all to live in.

🚗Many women have to move their seat forward to reach the steering wheels and pedals—which is unsafe. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, individuals who need to sit 10 inches or closer to steering wheels are more likely to experience serious or fatal injuries. And indeed, data shows that women drivers are 47% more likely to be seriously injured in a car crash.
🚑Most biomedical and clinical research has been based on the assumption that the male can serve as representative of the species. This has been in spite of increasing awareness … [that] women and men differ in their susceptibility to and risk for many medical conditions, and they respond differently to drugs and other interventions. The close of the previous decade saw 8 out of 10 prescription drugs withdrawn from the U.S. market because they cause statistically greater health risks for women .
🥶you’ve probably noticed that women often find that they’re too cold, while men report being perfectly comfortable. This is because the algorithms that dictate temperature regulation in many office buildings were designed in the 1960s for a 154 pound male. Women, who typically have smaller frames and less muscle mass, naturally feel a bit colder than men do.
🚻 As women, we are used to wait in queue for public toilets. Airports, cinemas, you name it, we know there is going to be a queue at the female toilets, while the male side seems to have no such issue. This is what gender-blind design looks like.
These are just a scratch on the surface of biased designing. We have so many opportunities to be better. So let’s celebrate more diversity in engineering and keep c

How do you help your team (or yourself) overcome resistance to change?
It all depends on what camp they’re in:
🔎the analysers, or
❤️ the lovers
This is a simple way to think about change but is a great starting point for considering the most effective way of supporting progress through the change process.
