In Week 6, we’re talking about our environment, the culture of our workplace and the experience of high-achievers. Research shows that where we work, the physical environment and the corporate culture around us, can have a huge impact on our wellbeing and our sense of ‘stuck’ In Episode 11, Amelia catches up for coffee with Dr. Amy Silver. Amy is a clinical psychologist, speaker and published author with over three decades of experience. She has spent her career developing intellectual property on how fear and habit restrict our capability.Amy has a unique perspective on situation-stuck, saying that it’s not the label of ‘stuck’ that really matters – but instead, it’s how we identify with it. For her, being stuck is a point of reflection and an opportunity to reassess our behaviour, our doing and our being. After working with people from all walks of life, from domestic violence survivors to sufferers of chronic fatigue, Amy is interested in tackling the behavioural patterns that get us stuck.She says - we need to regain our power, and realise that too often, we passively give it away to people and organisations without being fully aware. We get it back by creating space for ourselves, and in doing so – we promote our own growth mindset and learn to be more behaviourally flexible.Amy also addresses four other related topics of interest about environment and culture, the principles of agile transformations, ways of working for high achievers, and how to – actually – be courageous. She shares helpful advice on the practical things we can do to get on the other side of ‘uncomfortable’. Here is the research link referenced in this episode:Harvard Business Review (HBR) - “1 in 5 Employees is Highly Engaged and at Risk of Burnout” Emma Seppala and Julia Moeller - https://bit.ly/2N57QrNIf you would like to connect with Amy, you can contact her via:Website: dramysilver.com Email:  [email protected] Blog: https://www.dramysilver.com/recent-silverliningsAnd, purchase her new book ‘Conversations Create Growth’ : https://www.dramysilver.com/shopIf you have a question that you would like answered, or you would like to connect with Ann and Amelia directly, you can email: [email protected] You can also join our Career and Coffee community on LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/company/career-and-coffee-podcast/ And find us on Instagram for bonus content: instagram.com/podcastcareerandcoffee
