Taxing Matters: Mental Health Awareness Week: breaking down mental barriers in the mind with Jo Maughan

In this special Mental Health Awareness Week episode of Taxing Matters, host Alexis Armitage welcomes Jo Maughan, career coach and former tax director, to discuss how professionals can manage their critical inner voice and break down mental barriers in their mind.

With many years of experience working in tax at BP and PwC, Jo understands the high-achieving, perfectionist mindset that tax professionals often develop. In this episode, Alexis and Jo explore:

• the unique challenges professionals face in tax and other high-pressure jobs
• how the critical inner voice is amplified by competitive work environments
• practical tools for quieting self-doubt, including the FOG method (Fact, Opinion, Guess)
• the importance of getting out of your head and into your body through mindfulness and movement.
