This week, Paul is joined by coach and mentor, Alison Arnoff, who talks about the importance of instilling values, and why it’s important ensure that every decision is life is driven in alignment with them.
As Alison discusses, by recognising our personal values, and the factors we truly hold as important, we can better achieve lasting happiness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Values are the “North Stars”, the foundational points in our lives that define who we are and how we interact with the world around us.
Monetary gain, and achieving lofty positions in business, are the general aims of everyone embarking upon a career path. But they may not always necessarily be the core values to which we personally aspire.
It’s useful to break down each prospective value to its core elements, in order to better find the drivers that serve us. Making money is a broad term, but can be a signal that one of our values is to provide for those we love.
Mastering the game of life is the art of filtering out the advice of others, and deciding on a course of life that is personal and beneficial to you and others.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Without any navigation, you can’t find your way home’
‘Is there the possibility of an “and” instead of an “or”?’
‘I’m more concerned by the depth of our values instead of the number of them’
‘You can make it work if you turn off the voices outside and listen to the truth inside your head and your heart'

ABOUT THE GUEST
What Alison enjoyed most throughout her 25 years in the corporate world, was being able to take what I learned and sharing it with others to solve problems; to bring about positive outcomes that helped companies succeed and grow. It was this desire to serve that led her to coaching. She craved the interaction with the type of high performers she’d known in both tech and her years as a sports competitor. Dare2Be was formed.
In her life, Alison has experienced what many of her clients are going through -- the need to complete her journey on her own terms, holding true to her values, testing herself to see if she’s up to a new challenge and leaving a positive legacy. Now her mission is to coach others through the same turning points she experienced, and though we’re all different, many of our basic needs are the same: support, encouragement, validation. We need to be inspired to Dare2Be.

ABOUT THE HOST
One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”
Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.
Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
“Remember – Mastering The Game Of Life Starts,
By Embracing Our Hearts!”
