24. The Man Behind the Microphone, Unhurried Productivity, and the Power of ‘I-Matter’ Conversations | Digby Scott

What if your perception of "unhurried productivity" isn't about someone constantly on holiday, but rather a deliberate approach to crafting a life aligned with your values?And what if the most powerful leadership practice isn't about getting things done faster, but creating genuine I-matter conversations where people truly feel seen and heard?That's what emerges in this special episode of Dig Deeper, where the tables are turned as I step into the guest chair of my own podcast. My friend Antonia Milkop takes the host role, guiding a conversation that explores the person behind the mic.We get into:Why "meeting people where they're at" transforms resistance into meaningful connectionHow burnout at 30 led to a complete reevaluation of my approach to life and workThe distinction between being "nice" versus being "kind" in leadershipWhy connection before content is the foundation of trust in any relationshipHow unhurried productivity is a state of mind, not just a state of movementWhy pivotal moments with "tough love" mentors can shape our leadership journeyHow embracing discomfort and messiness might be the gateway to our most significant growthWhether you're wrestling with busyness, curious about building trust quickly with new teams, or simply interested in the philosophy behind Dig Deeper, this conversation offers a glimpse behind the curtain that might change how you think about creating space for what truly matters.In this role-reversal episode, Antonia skillfully draws out perspectives on my journey from being a people pleaser to someone who stands for something, and why focusing on intentionality rather than constant activity leads to more meaningful outcomes.Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(05:16) - The Importance of Intentionality (12:09) - Pivotal People and Moments in Life(15:32) - Building Trust in Leadership(23:40) - The Power of Connection Before Content(36:27) - Unhurried Productivity: Finding Balance in Busy Lives (41:02) - Embracing Discomfort and Uncertainty in LeadershipYou can find Antonia at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniamilkop/Others mentioned:Cam Fink: https://www.camfink.com/Simon Dowling: https://dig-deeper.captivate.fm/episode/18-why-creating-space-matters-more-than-efficiency-simon-dowling-on-intentional-leadershipGeorgia Murch: https://georgiamurch.com/Jennifer Garvey Berger: https://www.cultivatingleadership.com/team-member/jennifer-garvey-bergerAdam Cooper: https://dig-deeper.captivate.fm/episode/14-natural-systems-nervous-systems-and-navigating-change-adam-cooperCheck out my services and offerings https://www.digbyscott.com/Subscribe to my newsletter https://www.digbyscott.com/subscribeFollow me on LinkedIn
