A Brilliant Gamble

Do we ever really change? I’ve spent 20 years attempting to help individuals and companies to grow and develop so the concept that people are capable of change sits right at the heart of that. If we don’t ever change, what have I been doing all this time?!

I loved talking to Lee - partly because he thinks so differently to many people in the corporate world. Yet, everything he talks about - and the way he sees the challenges and opportunities facing business - are practical and compelling. You don't have to run a small, funky tech company to be inspired by his approach - big business can get it too.

Most of us work with people and it tends to be the people stuff that makes work brilliant and awful. If you’re having problems at work most likely they are people problems. This is why, of course, so many people are looking to change their job or change their company. But what if you take yourself with you when you go?

In this conversation we talk about living out of your car, finding the adventure that's waiting for you and letting go

Today's show is another archive show – my interview with Bryan Falchuk. Bryan is the author of a wonderful book called "Do A Day" in which he explores why we get stuck in bad habits and how to break those habit...for good!

It’s very strange to put things in a cupboard knowing you won’t have to take it all back out in a matter of days! Moving house and starting yet another lifestyle can be stressful and busy, which is what today's show is all about - "pressing pause" when things get hectic. What do I mean? Have a listen!

Some changes are easy to make. There will be adjustments you want to make to your life – big or small – that seem GIGANTIC to other people. However, to you, they’re a walk in the park. But what about other changes? Boy! These ones are tough! I’ve been pondering what makes certain changes harder than others and come up with a theory! In today’s show I talk about two kinds of change – Big Bangs and Daily Bangs.

In our interview we talk about changing your name mid-life, returning to a “proper job” having worked for yourself, and our beliefs around money... and we end up making a pact together to change our attitudes towards financial security.
