Becky Holland is the Founder and CEO at BH&P, an innovative communications brand that enables businesses with purpose to accelerate growth without limits! After a long career working with top agencies and brands such as Microsoft, English Heritage, Marks & Spencer, NatWest, Santander, Corel, Dell, Schroders, Acer and many others, Becky changed things around a bit when she had children - consulting, financial management, and creating her own cake design and wedding cake business. Three years as marketing director of a leadership development business, gave Becky a passion for coaching, leadership development and the human-side of business, so she went back into the agency-side for a bit.

 

Becky knew she wanted to do work that really mattered - and working in business development for someone else's agency was never going to cut it. An opportunity arose in 2015 to branch out on her own, and started BH&P, at that time Becky Holland & Partners Ltd. The huge amount of hours she put into building the brand, purpose and team, have allowed her to do work that truly stands out.

 

Brands large and small have trusted BH&P over the past 8 years - highlights include launching The Business Finance Guide for ICAEW and The British Business Bank, winning a 12-agency pitch to set up and run Stay Energy Safe on behalf of the national charity Crimestoppers, running the most successful global growth campaign Epicor has ever seen, launching CBILs and BBILs at the start of the pandemic - and working with brands such as Purition, Sea Change Wines, TradeBridge, innova, IDS and Levell.

 

With the support of my phenomenal and multi-award-winning Creative Director Claus Larsen, and her incredible team - Jim, Nav, Eleni, Jamie, Sophia, Ed, Hasan, Charlotte, Ela and Petru - as well as an extended partner network that reaches South Africa, Canada, Columbia, the US, France and China, Becky is relentlessly focused on creating growth for our clients, growing brand equity and establishing highly creative solutions that drive significant commercial success.

 

Becky's true passion is for big ideas, brilliantly executed. Becky is a champion for equality and diversity, and is super-excited that BH&P have recently applied for B-Corp status. Becky states, "I am reminded daily - in good times and bad - of the need to keep doing things differently"

 

This podcast is Becky's story into becoming who she was meant to become, the CEO of one of the most innovative marketing brands in the UK today.

Louise Clark is a wife, mother, grandmother, and now a World Champion in Powerlifting. In a remarkable story where Louise started going to the gym in her 40's just to lose a little bit of weight, now at 56 has set new world records in Powerlifting and is the 2022 World Champion Powerlifter in her weight class.

 

Introduction

You are a world-champion powerlifter!

I was never sporty at school

How I got started in training and going to the gym

Having a good coach is important

Mindset is everything, I listen to House and Classic Trance which gets me in the zone!

The first goal was to lose some weight

How I did at the world championships

Powerlifting is very technical which is why I love it

I have always felt mediocre, until now

I will compete for as long as my body allows

Publicity from success being on BBC and in newspapers

My message to women

 

Thanks for watching! I appreciate your time.

Lynda Cant - Leading Rapid Transformational Therapist. How RTT is saving lives, explained...

 

Lynda is a former company director and board member for a FTSE 100 company, executive mentor, author, speaker, and trained specialist in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is also one of Marisa Peer’s trained and qualified RTT therapists based in Hampshire.

Introduction

What is Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT)

 Our minds get programmed from an early age

The history of RTT, who is Marisa Peer?

Traditional talking therapies often don't fix the actual problem

We have to upgrade your mind, like a computer program

Treat the problem, not the symptom

Being present is a gift

We must change the thinking that's in the sub-conscious brain

30 years of bulimia cured in 1 RTT session

How RTT takes you from being in your lower negative self to a higher, lighter state

RTT can help with physical illnesses such as cancer

RTT's success rate is higher than 90%!!!

If I had a magic wand, what would you like to achieve?

Early labels in childhood are dangerous as they manifest in later life

We pick up behaviors from our parents because they are familiar

NHS please reach out to Marissa Peer!

Digger Wordsworth - There is life after death!! I've had conversations with Angels... Evidence of a higher realm

 

Is there life after death? Possibly the biggest question we have as humans. Perhaps a taboo subject, something people do not want to talk about, think about or even consider. But, Digger Wordsworth has a fascinating perspective to share. He has had first-hand experience in talking to Angels and in this show shares his evidence of their being in a higher spiritual realm. Digger has released a book that contains his conversations with Angels, which he discussed during this engaging and eye-opening conversation.

 

Introduction

My first experiences with spirituality

Dismissing early coincidences

If this is all there is, what's the point?

Guidance from Silver Birch, evidence from 1936

What's the actual evidence of a higher realm

This is more than life after death, it's an eternal life

My mother suddenly passes away, how I knew something was going to happen

Death is the last taboo, we are not able to talk about it enough

Starting to talk to Angels through an Ouija board

Angels talking in a formal language to start

The Story of a woman whose son was killed by a sniper

I felt terrible like there has been a murder in that house

All religions have some truth, and answers for us to evaluate

Simon's view, I believe some people (mediums) can pick up on an energies

The spiritual realm exists, and it’s a beautiful place

#49 Julian McBride - The horrific story of a Racing Car Driver Paralysed after a Routine Operation

 

Julian McBride is an incredible human being. A life-changing spinal operation in 2011 didn't go to plan and left Julian paralysed from the waist-down.  So why does he now consider himself to be one of the luckiest people on the planet?

 

Julian is a 2022 motor racing championship contender – He has a significant disability in both legs, yet competes wheel to wheel with able-bodied drivers. An IT professional by trade, his boyhood dream of becoming a racing driver was ignited in 2011 following a devastating spinal injury. Only three seasons in, he finished third in Class A at the 2018 750MC Club Enduro Championship – using an adapted driving style. Supported by Geoff Steel Racing, he is coached by a top-level professional GT driver and the proud owner of a brand-new bespoke BMW race car.

 

 

 Introduction

Younger Years, early dreams of being a Racing Car driver

First encounters with work, I do not want to be an accountant!

Starting in sales, and what it meant to earn money

Needing external validation

January 4th 2011, the day that changed Julian's life forever

Why me? Why not you? Its a lottery

What has been damaged medically speaking?

14 months in recovery, trying to move again

Going to Hastings, walking 1 mile, enjoying the best beer of my life

You described yourself as a grumpy old git!

Its time to buy an Aston Martin!

Geoff Steel Racing built my BMW racing car

Focusing on endurance racing

Looking at your life now, are you living your dream?

Life is not about toys, its about experience

Your outlook now on money, success and happiness

the final word, how do you feel about your life?
