Quotes
"We place importance on different aspects of our thinking, but all of that importance that we place on it is only a perception. Our thought is just this illusive bubble. It's a nothing, really. It's some sort of electromagnetic, chemical process that we can't quite define yet.

"Coaching is in the quality of the questions. It's the art and the science of asking the right question to provoke the right learning for the at the right time."

"When people understand that that they're the ones that can enable themselves to make the changes that they need to make, only then, it gives people a sense of agency, a sense of autonomy. Which is the thing that's been missing."

"The danger in modern-day, 21st century life, is that the adrenaline and the cortisol don't leave our system. Back in those hunting-gathering days, once you were out of danger, those chemicals left. And your body went back to being healthy."

"For generations now, we've run anti-knife crimes projects, anti-gang projects, anti-violence programmes. So young people's [sub]consiousness is filled with all this stuff we don't want them to be doing."
