Life Long Learner

This week we chat about introverts and extroverts. To explore how certain aspects of society have been set up to benefit the extrovert. The traditional education system caters very much for the extrovert. Gines and Matt talk about the benefit of knowing which one you are. By knowing this it will help you decipher what you need to recharge and also what takes energy from you. In stems from last week's chat about knowing yourself. 

Both introvert a and extroverts are very powerful in their own right. We are in interesting times right that the world has turned a little introverted with Covid-19 restrictions and how this plays a role in taking energy from the extroverts that want to be around people, however, it gives to the introverts.

The value of truly knowing your self is under estimated.

Gines and Matt chat about how it all starts with knowing yourself. The notion of knowing yourself is forever evolving. We explore the problem society faces when they get stuck with a particular identity and then find it hard to evolve as that identity does not serve them anymore. It is important to know yourself and what you need first. By doing this, you will be better for it in all areas of your life. You must fill your cup first before you fill up others.

So we had a special guest on. Join me as I have a chat with Dr. Ben Carvosso. Ben is a leading health practitioner who has plenty of experience building multiple practices. He is also Australia’s leading business mindset coach, that specialises in owners, entrepreneurs and organisation chiefs.

Ben and I chat about an array of topics. We bounce from the importance of your tribe and the people that you hang around with. The importance of having a group that uplift you and challenge you at the same time.

We both share the understanding of the word ‘balance’ and why it may not be the healthiest thing for people to strive for. Also touch on a few coaching principles.

Crazy songs kids are singing at school in these crazy times!

Ben mentions that it is important to distinguish between a useful interaction and an interesting interaction. You get to choose. Hopefully this podcast will be a useful interaction.

I thoroughly enjoyed this chat, hope you do too.
