On the first day of a new decade this episode is my thoughtful ramblings about the last decade and going into the new decade.

We are all unique and that is one for the most exciting things about our new plans and hopes for the future. This will never change and so it will always be the one thing we have that is our greatest asset.

I refer to Holly Matthews and her brilliant TEDx talk - here is the link...

My journey of my last decade and this human conversation is about my excitement for the 20's we are about to start.

Happy New year everyone and may it be a wonderful year for you all!

My human conversation in this episode is with the lovely Catherine Williams, who makes books beautiful for the reader. We chat about how Catherine started her career which is far removed from what she does today. We also talk about the journey of a book from when it's written by the author to when it's read by the reader.

Quite a lot happens and Catherine's expertise helps to make a book much more readable and beautiful. As she rightly says, a reader should not notice how a book is laid out, they should only consume every bit of the content and enjoy it.

Listen in to see what Catherine does to make books beautiful and where in the process she comes in.

Loved our chat and hope you see that there is so much more to producing a book than we perhaps realise and Catherine plays a wonderful part in that.

How the brain works when it comes to truly connecting...

...and a brief mention of our fabulous event that we are going to be putting on next year - it will be like no other you have seen.

My conversation today is with the fabulous Vafa Taleban. Born in Shiraz in Iran - yes, where the famous wine comes from, she grew up in what she believed to be a normal world. To me it was far from normal. When she was 16 she moved to the UK - as she says 'kicking and screaming' and started a journey of learning a new language, studying and building herself a professional career. Quite something when you are in a very strange environment from what you're used to.

I hope you find this lady inspiring because if you dig into the journey she has had you will see that she is full of resilience and determination.

My podcast guest in this episode is Business Coach Sally Oddy. Her story is all about trusting the journey you are on. You don't always realise why things happen to you, but at some point it all becomes apparent and Sally's story demonstrates just that...

We talk about some of the challenges she has faced but how they have often led her to the next thing which has also been another step towards where she ultimately wanted to do! Who knew...

At last I got to speak to this legend who I call my 'brother from another mother' due to the fact that we speak about sales in exactly the same way.

Many sales coaches and trainers say what they think we all want to hear but both Dale and I have walked everything that we talk about.

Here we discuss life, his journey from a young man to where he is today, and how our Dad's were indeed our heroes and showed us what sales was truly about - connection and relationships.

They are both very proud of us and we know that - I loved my human conversation with this man. One day we will work together and I'm working on that being a Day One!

What a great and inspiring human conversation with this young man all the way from New York. Yes someone so young who has already done so much and has such a fabulous outlook on life.

Jordan Gross is a writer, leadership coach, speaker, and self-proclaimed multipotentialite. Jordan is a trailblazer for positive change, optimism, and the belief that our daily actions can help us all overcome stress and anxiety

We talk about his journey and chasing the dream - but how he kept chasing the dream until it felt right. Even when the pressures around us tell us we 'should' be doing certain things in a certain order - he followed his heart every time and still gained a breadth of experience because he tried stuff!

This inspiring conversation leads us to hear about how he wrote his book and developed his Cloud 9 concept which is really interesting. I for one can't wait to read the book which is due out Christmas/ New Year time.
