English with Kirsty – episode 226

Lynn Swain on trusting ourselves and what’s going on in our brains when we do

You can listen to episode 226 here:

I met Lynn on LinkedIn through Carol Constant, whom some of you may remember from previous podcast episodes.

Lynn Swain is a TEDx Speaker, Trust Activator, and finalist in the 2023 Woman of Stature Awards for Coaching and Mentoring. She is the founder of the Symbiota Leadership Institute.
Lynn holds a Master of Science degree in Neuroscience of Leadership from Middlesex University, and as a result, offers a distinctive perspective on trust and performance. Her recent TEDx talk, ‘A Trust Mindshift to Create a Trust Revolution,’ delves into the transformative power of self-trust. Lynns impactful interventions and talks are dedicated to leaving audiences with game-changing tools.

We talked about:

  • Lynn’s recent TED talk and how it felt to prepare for it.
  • What’s actually going on in our brain as we move from the fight or flight reaction to a more confident and focused state.
  • The impact of self-trust and empathy on our ability to move past fear and think clearly.
  • How to get past our insecurity or the fear reaction that comes up when we try something new.
  • The TRUST model and How to redirect our attention and give our brain access to the resources that we need to focus and succeed.
