I have a treat for you today… Nick Bottini is a coach and author working with high performing members of the music industry. Nick is a jazz musician himself and obviously brings his musical experience into his coaching… but what’s interesting is the parallel we can all draw in life that fix our views in certain areas. What I enjoyed most about our conversation is that Nick and I did not know each other before we hit record but we both felt like we’d picked up an old friendship… I am noticing that more and more in my interactions with people and it’s hugely exciting!

In this episode we discuss the idea of following the breadcrumbs laid out in front of us with curiosity. We also play with the idea that seeing things with a clear state of mind and being more relaxed with ideas doesn’t lead to a lack of drive or a lack of dedication, but more that we don’t see “the grind” leading to the outcome! It’s ore a case of not having thinking about the process and being all in with it at the same time.

I’d love to hear where you’ve surprised yourself what you’ve achieved from a relaxed mindset where you would have expected to have felt like you’d working hard to achieve the same results normally?

Today I want to introduce you to Matt Roberts, a coach and former British High Jumper. I’ve got to know Matt over the last 6-9 months and I just love the way he sees the world and his wish to share what he’s seen with his clients. Matt mainly works with elite sports people outside of his main employment in events management. I think you’re going to really enjoy his take on life.

In this episode we play with the ideas of being caught up in our heads, our ability to loosen our grip on things, the hidden variable of clarity of mind, as well as the power of giving ourselves and those around us space and see what shows up.

I’d love to hear where you’ve surprised yourself with what came to mind when you gave yourself space to slow down?

Harriet Hancock is a senior leader in the justice and immigration sector who has found that coaching from a Three Principles based perspective has enabled her to be a more grounded, capable and supportive leader. Harriet and I have known each other for a few years now, having crossed paths through One Thought. We’ve always found it interesting that as leaders with fairly complex and hostile working environments that we’ve both been drawn to look in the same direction to be of greater service.

In this episode… which includes an unavoidable technical hitch (sorry)… we discuss the place of simplicity in complex environments. We also discuss the role curiosity plays for leaders and their teams to be able to tap in to their innate clarity and creativity.

Harriet paraphrased two quotes, as like me, she can’t rely on being able to nail them word for word but we both know we can convey the sentiment. However, I thought I’d share them with you here:

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them." Albert Einstein

"If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world." Sydney Banks

Harriet and I are both firm believers in both these statements and relish the opportunity to help people realise them for themselves.

I’d love to hear where you’ve been surprised that you have found curiosity, creativity and clarity in your life, despite the complexity of the ongoing situation?
