Francis Briers has over 15 years of experience facilitating individuals and groups. He trained at one of the UK's top drama schools, and he's an executive coach, a spiritual counselor, and a poet. A damn good poet, in my humble opinion. (Stick around to the very end of the conversation to hear him read one of his latest poems, There is No Solid Ground, written in the time of this pandemic. It is heart-wrenching and inspiring.)
But the thing I want you to know most about Francis is that he is deeply committed to the pursuit of wisdom. Over the past decade, he has been distilling and articulating what we might call “a formula for wisdom,” which we get into (in part) in this conversation as we explore “What is it to be a wise being in the world?
Please note that this episode was recorded while the pandemic was still the general backdrop of our lives, prior to the global protests. As you listen now, you may ask yourself, what is it to be a wise being in today's constantly evolving world? How might I carry a through-line of wisdom when so much around me is rattling and changing? And how might that wisdom help me show up for the world in the way that I am uniquely suited?
