Ep 95: Hugh Willbourn - The Bug in Our Thinking & The Way To Fix It May 19, 2023

Show notes

The Bug in Our Thinking & The Way To Fix It
Hugh is an author with experience in business, market research, psychotherapy, academia and performance.

He has led over a hundred workshops in negotiation, qualitative research, therapeutic transformation, hypnosis, effective presentation skills, practical philosophy and authentic storytelling.

In 1997 he gained his PhD in Philosophy from City University, London.

In 1999 Hugh co-founded Corr Willbourn Research and Development, a qualitative market research business which gained an excellent reputation for solving challenging projects and developing innovative research methods for clients such as Virgin, Shell, Diageo, Novartis the Home Office, the Foreign Office, the Department of Health and The Department for Education.

In addition to his solo publications, he co-created a series of highly relevant self-help books with Paul McKenna, available on Amazon.

I find Hugh absolutely fascinating. He has an almost forensic sharpness of mind and determination to get deep into things that interest him, and he’s just about to launch his unputdownable book ‘The Bug in our Thinking and the Way to Fix it’. A brilliant man with an intriguing take on how we think and why that really matters!

Ep 93: The Creative & Transcendence as the Norm May 05, 2023

Show notes

The Creative & Transcendence as the Norm

Robert Fritz first published his excellent ‘The Path of Least Resistance’ in 1984. The book took the personal growth world by storm. Here was a work that integrated psychology with creativity with productivity, seamlessly. His highly leveraged modality proved effective for millions across the following decades.

In this episode I share with you his closing words ~ the punchline if you will. Here we tap into the true motivation for becoming the creative force in our own lives, as posited by Fritz, and wholeheartedly agreed with by me.

I recommend Robert Fritz’s ‘The Path of Least Resistance’ available on Amazon:

Ep 92: Michael Kurkowski - Strength, Intuition & Emotional Regulation Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

Ep 92: Michael Kurkowski - Strength, Intuition & Emotional Regulation

Michael has been a strength and mindset coach for almost 15 years. He’s the owner of Breakthrough Secrets and host of The Strength Connection Podcast.

Michael helps busy professionals create a harmony in

their physical, mental and spiritual strength practices to help them live out their fullest potential and most joyful life.

He believes in the process of mastery ~ that everyone is capable of becoming a master of their own lives using strength practice.

Most health and fitness programmes have been designed for the individual to mould their lives around the programme. This is the exact opposite of what is sustainable for continuous progress and mastery in everyday life.

Michael’s goal is to help teach others that strength is not just one thing. It is a connection of all things in our lives, and everyone is capable of achieving it.

I believe that one of our failings as humans is an over-compartmentalisation of things. Breaking it down is of course necessary some of the time. But we overdo it and miss beneficial connections and integrations. I love how Michael has integrated physical strength with inner personal strength. A very helpful integration for leaders today who need all of their strength to navigate the challenges of today.

This is the breakdown of Michael’s coaching program, and where you can grab a free copy of his ebook, The One Day Strength Challenge ~ a way to begin incorporating intuition into your training plan.

Ep 91: The Nameless & What is Reality? Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

The Nameless & What is Reality?

While it’s true we require some sense of what is or isn’t real for our basic survival and ability to navigate life, it can be significantly liberating and helpful to dip into philosophical notions around perception, reality and illusion.

Creativity calls for expanded thinking and expression. We can’t do this very well when we’re wedded to a limited and limiting position about reality.

In this episode I introduce a highly esoteric and ‘out there’ piece from the brilliant Sci-Fi author Roger Zelazny. Across a writing career spanning the last three decades of the last century, Zelazny picked up six Hugo awards and three Nebula awards.

I share with you a stunning monologue delivered by his lead character Sam, from his cult classic Lord of Light (1967). Worth listening to more than once. And noticing how what is heard shifts and evolves with each listening.

I recommend Roger Zelazny’s ‘Lord of Light’ available on Amazon:

Ep 90: Robert D’Aubigny - The Spirit of Things & Assured Success Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

The Spirit of Things & Assured Success

Robert D’Aubigny is an entrepreneur and investor. His main raison d'etre is creating organisations where the environment and corporate systems lead to personal growth.

Much of Robert’s early life was spent working in and collaborating with alternative communities; studying the main streams of humanistic psychology under the tutorage of leading thinkers in the field. After exploring different approaches to personal development he created his first organisation The Exegesis Programme, a human potential development training. Listeners will have heard me singing the praises of Humanistic Psychology - and Exegesis in particular.

Considered at the time to be wildly controversial, Exegesis attracted wide support, trained thousands of people and gave birth to an ‘alumni class’ who went on to experience great success, bring others along with them, and create commercial organisations that shared similar values and objectives.

Robert is currently involved in a project to show SME's how authentic marketing can transform their business life, and generate exceptional results ~ when compared to conventional approaches with their unimpressive outcomes.

Robert played a significant role in my development as a young adult. I was closely involved with Exegesis and the businesses that came out of it for almost 20 years, and this was quite an extraordinary personal growth experience! The learning culture Robert created was phenomenal, and Exegesis remains one of the best things I’ve ever done. Much of my current working practice and effectiveness is thanks to this extraordinary man. Not to mention my ability to live a good life.

In this episode we explore The Spirit of Things … to quote Robert: “My guiding star has always been that the spirit of things must be present - all else is but a counterfeit of effort or pretence, and the path is marked by alibis. We can make anything work if we want to. But do we want to? I know that if I and my colleagues are true to this core value, success in any endeavour is assured.”

Ep 89: Building Community & The Rabbi’s Gift Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

Building Community & The Rabbi’s Gift

As tribe creatures we all need community. As leaders it behoves us to create and nurture community within our organisations.

In this episode I introduce the great M Scott Peck who researched and wrote about Community extensively in the 80s.

I share with you the beautiful and very moving myth or legend The Rabbi’s Gift, drawn from Peck’s wonderful book The Different Drum (1987). The story contains within it some of the crucial principles for creating a thriving and sustainable community.

I recommend M Scott Peck’s ‘The Different Drum’ available on Amazon:

Ep 88: Charles Read - Park Your Ego At The Door Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Park Your Ego At The Door

Charles J Read is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), U.S Tax Court Practitioner ( USTCP), member of Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC) and the Founder of GetPayroll.

A Vietnam war vet, and a business owner for over 30 years, his companies have provided full-service payroll services, payroll tax services, and other payroll-related services since 1991.

Charles is an accomplished senior executive and entrepreneur with more than fifty years of financial leadership experience in a broad range of industries and author of four books, the latest one being The Payroll Book: A Guide For Small Businesses and Startups.

He has over 400 media appearances under his belt - including Fox News, Forbes, Huffington Post and others.

When Charles told me he’d like to talk about ‘ego’ - he had me right there! I think most of us realise that ‘ego’ is something it behoves us to learn about, with both humility and courage! I love Charles’ deeply human and very wise take on what it takes to succeed in business, and in life in general.

Ep 87: Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your Organisation Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your Organisation

Re-introducing Gareth Morgan who gave us his marvellous book ‘Images of Organization’.

Over several decades of working with clients who are making significant changes in their businesses, I’ve noticed that organisational interventions that are not specifically tailored to the organisation in question do not work. At best there’s some improvement but not as much as hoped. At worst damage is done and more money must be invested to make corrections.

Gareth Morgan shows us several distinct windows into our organisations. Each one is of value in itself. The collection together offers the potential for deep understanding and in turn radically intelligent and well-informed decision making and interventions.

In this episode I talk about ‘organisations as political systems’ and the sources of power in your organisation. Fascinating.

I recommend Gareth Morgan’s ‘Images of Organization’ available on Amazon:

Ep 86: John Lloyd - Curiosity, Interestedness & The Meaning of Life Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

Curiosity, Interestedness & The Meaning of Life

Legendary multi–BAFTA Award winning producer John Lloyd CBE is the founder of QI and the producer of some of Britain’s best-loved TV shows. He is of the same opinion as Plato: unmitigated seriousness has no place in human affairs. On the other hand, he also likes A. N. Whitehead’s assertion that it’s more important for something to be interesting than true (although it’s more likely to be interesting if it is true).

When it comes to producing and presenting comedic content, John Lloyd is unmatched. He is best known for his work on Blackadder, QI, Spitting Image, and as a presenter for BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity. He has crafted a career that puts cheerfulness, kindness and creativity at the centre.

John is a really interesting person and a lovely man. I first came across him at The QI Club in Oxford in 2005, where I was invited to consider ‘are you quite interesting?’ A great question! His insightful and delicately provocative take on life, curiosity and self-knowledge is inspiring. Someone to learn from for leaders today.
