Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp95: Disentangling MeCreating the me I want to be. In this episode, Michelle Cheyne of Instinctive Living and Content College and I explore how we disentangle ourselves.

Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp94: Freedom from OverwhelmThe simple truth we already know but don't see, is we habitually overlay our direct experience of reality with thoughts, beliefs, values, and opinions. There are two types of knowledge. Intellectual conceptual understanding and direct experience. We use our thoughts, beliefs, values, and opinions to create a conceptual reality rather than the truth of the moment; direct experience. We pile our thoughts, beliefs, values and opinions into our conceptual frame, not recognising the consequences of what we're doing; causing stress, anxiety and overwhelm. True Knowledge is seeing this moment as it is. Not...2022-10-1412 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp93: What makes a relationship?In this episode my guest Ian Sherwin and I discuss what makes a relationship? I have known Ian for near on 35 years. Ian and I have been friends since we were 14. On the show today we explore what makes a healthy relationship? What's involved? I'd say we look beyond the obvious like honesty, trust, respect and open communication. We certainly suggest relationships take effort and compromise from both people, but in what form? We look at the balance of power. And consider, respect, each other's independence, the making of our own decisions without fear of retribution or retaliation, and what it mean...2022-05-2818 min

In this episode Caroline Flannigan and I discuss how we practically overcome with courage and compassion.2022-05-0924 minLife. Purpose. LeadershipEp90: It is what it is...In this episode Michelle and I discuss acceptance. We all know we have to accept the moment, life...as is...it is what it is. But we judge, compare. Push away from emotions. We want to control things. And all the rest of the unhelpful thoughts and doings we do. We just don't want to accept things as they are. Ekhart Tolle suggest when we notice we are not present, then we have presence. Then we really ARE present. So how? Well listen further and maybe we can help you with your feelings of helplessness.2022-04-2929 minLife. Purpose.

Perhaps reaping the greatest rewards.2022-03-3031 minLife. Purpose. LeadershipEp87: Breaking the patternsIn this episode Michelle Cheyne of Instinctive Living and Content College and I discuss what it takes to break the patterns in our lives? We create our own story.

What makes us break the patterns?2022-01-1824 minLife. Purpose. LeadershipEp86: Effective altruism is about doing good betterOur resources are limited, so we have to use them wisely.

Taking action, by using our time and money to do the most good we can. 2022-01-1222 minLife. Purpose. LeadershipEp85: How can we reach peak performance?A state of flow is technically defined as an “optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best." The term flow state takes its name from the sensation it confers. In flow, every action, every decision, arises seamlessly from the last. In this state, we are so focused on the task at hand that all else falls away. Action and awareness merge. Our sense of self vanishes. Our sense of time distorts. And performance goes through the roof. But how do we get into a state of flow? In this episode Ka...2021-12-1523 minLife. Purpose.

In this episode Kate Fletcher and I explore these very questions. And expand on three behaviours which are suggested as essential. Namely, positive relationships, expertise and judgement and finally consistency. We argue you don’t need to be perfect at the behaviours to be a trusted leader. But you do need to be good at them.2021-11-3022 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp82: You don't have to justify yourselfWe offer (or don't) an explanation of our choices for a variety of reasons. We can be motivated by fear, guilt or self-doubt. Or we can also be honouring ourselves and others. I've realised I put a lot of energy into explaining my decisions. Why I've made the choice I have. Or bigger still; justify why we are here at all. What about not justifying yourself. In this episode June Whiteman and I ask why do we need to know why? Can things, can we, not just be so.2021-11-0227 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp81: The Power of Slow Deep ThinkingWe attend more meetings, send more emails and work significantly longer days than pre-pandemic. Constant expectation, with no time to think. Many of us are surrounded by our partners, family members, children and other housemates 24/7. A quiet commute, solitary lunchtime break, or end-of-day silent office seem a thing of the past. For many of us, time alone in stillness to think is more important yet more difficult to find than ever. In this episode Kate Fletcher and I consider how we can, even under today's conditions, make time for thinking? How can we use the...2021-10-2829 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp80: Why you should improv your lifeIntent is the heart of living a life of purpose, of meaning. We seem to spend our lives doing and having.

And consider the merts of improv'ing our lives.2021-10-2030 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp79: Powering Through Tough Times, Not!Let's be honest: things are changing rapdily. The world is chaotic right now, and struggling entrepreneurs (and the rest of us) are scrabling to maintain any sense of control during these tough times. But perhaps that's the thing; we need to let go of our need for control. Perhaps we ought not to power through. But then what? In this episode Nicole Bremner of East Eight and I talk at length about our personal struggles with mental health challenges. Losing money and position. And consider our need to balance a healthy mindset and lifestyle with st...2021-10-1234 min
Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp78: What I am, is it what I do?We spend a great deal of our lives doing. Doing the housework, doing the job. Building the career. Taking the kids to football.

Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp73: My Game - Anxiety & The Art of Doing NothingIn this episode I talk about how our brain is telling us to do something about our anxiety immediately to keep us safe.

Life. Purpose. LeadershipEp69: Check-listing my way into unhappinessWhy are we fixated on the accumulation of stuff? What is it that drives us to measure success by what we have? The career. The house. Money. The 15 minutes of fame. There is so much more to life than the aquisition of things. We talk endlessly about valuing experience and life itself.
