Welcome to the Future Female Leaders podcast, hosted by Nichole Harrop, who aims to create more female leaders in the workplace. In this episode, she focuses on a meditation that helps to overcome negative perceptions at work. Nichole starts by suggesting that listeners find a comfortable and distraction-free location and then guides them through a relaxation process to calm down their breathing and let go of any tension. She asks listeners to be mindful of their emotions and any tightness or stress within their bodies. She then guides them to reflect on how they react to people having negative perceptions of them and to think of how they want to react going forward. Listeners are encouraged to envision a scenario in which they work for a company they love and have a manager who cares about them, and to think about what efforts or changes need to happen in their current working relationship to make it a reality. Nichole encourages listeners to take deep breaths and repeat after her, saying they can work on their self-awareness to recognize negative perceptions and are capable of overcoming them. The episode ends with Nichole encouraging listeners to continue taking deep breaths and to know that overcoming perception issues takes time and daily practice.
