On this weeks episode of "It Starts with YOU", Vic O'Farrell welcomes Dr. Laura Shallcross, a coach and trainer known for helping female leaders align their inner world with their external success. The conversation dives into the concept of personality styles, especially contrasting the analytical, detail-oriented "blue" types with more outgoing, big-picture "yellow" personalities.
Dr. Laura Shallcross shares insights on how structural thinking shapes her coaching approach and discusses the role of "masking" our personality and it's exhausting consequences. Vicky and Dr Laura explore ways leaders can enhance their self-awareness, let go of masks, and embrace authenticity, highlighting the impact of emotional suppression and the gradual process of unmasking.
This episode offers listeners actionable strategies for self-discovery and realignment, showing that true change always starts with understanding yourself.
. "It Starts with You" podcast is available everywhere on Wednesdays every fortnight.

About the Guest
I'm Dr Laura Shallcross and I work with women in leadership whose careers are successful on the outside, but the personal cost is too high and they feel that life is passing them by. I provide the scaffolding to make changes so they can thrive at work and enjoy their life again. You don't need more self-help books and discipline to push through and get it done! You need support to renovate your inner world into something that matches the outside. Clearing space in your mind and in your diary.
