I’m excited to introduce you to Ankush Jain today!  Ankush and I first met 6 years ago when we were both speaking in a breakout session at the 3PUK conference in London.  Since that point I’ve been watching Ankush’s career go from strength to strength.  While that in itself has been something to behold, it’s his passion and driver behind that that I’ve become more interested in: his mission to raise the consciousness of the planet by up-levelling the coaching industry!  Ankush is a hugely successful life and business coach/consultant, proud father, published author, podcast host and public speaker.

In this episode we discuss the idea of staying on the path and getting to the desired destination.  However, the path is something you are drawn to rather than driven; a knowing rather than a striving.  Ankush quoted a line from Marianne Williamson’s ‘A return to love’;

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us…”.

I encourage you to get curious and see how you might be keeping your light from the world!

I’d love to hear where you’ve felt drawn to something and how that felt different from being driven to achieve something?

I have a treat for you today… Nick Bottini is a coach and author working with high performing members of the music industry.  Nick is a jazz musician himself and obviously brings his musical experience into his coaching… but what’s interesting is the parallel we can all draw in life that fix our views in certain areas.  What I enjoyed most about our conversation is that Nick and I did not know each other before we hit record but we both felt like we’d picked up an old friendship… I am noticing that more and more in my interactions with people and it’s hugely exciting!

In this episode we discuss the idea of following the breadcrumbs laid out in front of us with curiosity.  We also play with the idea that seeing things with a clear state of mind and being more relaxed with ideas doesn’t lead to a lack of drive or a lack of dedication, but more that we don’t see “the grind” leading to the outcome!  It’s ore a case of not having thinking about the process and being all in with it at the same time.

I’d love to hear where you’ve surprised yourself what you’ve achieved from a relaxed mindset where you would have expected to have felt like you’d working hard to achieve the same results normally?

Today I want to introduce you to Matt Roberts, a coach and former British High Jumper.  I’ve got to know Matt over the last 6-9 months and I just love the way he sees the world and his wish to share what he’s seen with his clients.  Matt mainly works with elite sports people outside of his main employment in events management.  I think you’re going to really enjoy his take on life.

In this episode we play with the ideas of being caught up in our heads, our ability to loosen our grip on things, the hidden variable of clarity of mind, as well as the power of giving ourselves and those around us space and see what shows up.

I’d love to hear where you’ve surprised yourself with what came to mind when you gave yourself space to slow down?

Harriet Hancock is a senior leader in the justice and immigration sector who has found that coaching from a Three Principles based perspective has enabled her to be a more grounded, capable and supportive leader.  Harriet and I have known each other for a few years now, having crossed paths through One Thought.  We’ve always found it interesting that as leaders with fairly complex and hostile working environments that we’ve both been drawn to look in the same direction to be of greater service.

In this episode… which includes an unavoidable technical hitch (sorry)… we discuss the place of simplicity in complex environments.  We also discuss the role curiosity plays for leaders and their teams to be able to tap in to their innate clarity and creativity.

Harriet paraphrased two quotes, as like me, she can’t rely on being able to nail them word for word but we both know we can convey the sentiment.  However, I thought I’d share them with you here:

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them." Albert Einstein

"If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world." Sydney Banks

Harriet and I are both firm believers in both these statements and relish the opportunity to help people realise them for themselves.

I’d love to hear where you’ve been surprised that you have found curiosity, creativity and clarity in your life, despite the complexity of the ongoing situation?

Lynne Brannigan is a coach based in Spain with over 20 years’ experience, who has relatively recently discovered the Three Principles.  I had the absolute pleasure of being paired up with Lynne during a coaching course we did together last year with Jamie Smart.  During the 9 months and beyond we have had regular, light hearted and fun catch ups and I wanted you to be able to experience some of that.
 
 In this episode our conversation ranges from Lynne’s fear of being a guest on the podcast, to how she’s seeing there’s less to do having gained an understanding of the Principles, through to the wonderful experience of learning for the fun of it rather than from a place of lacking a skill.

I’d love to hear what you’re finding you need to do less of having heard this episode, or any of the others?

Jen Elleray is Three Principles Coach based in Cumbria in the UK.  You may recognise the name after last episode with Dave Elleray because Jen is the other half of a coaching practice called Freedom Thinking.  Jen was an very shy, anxious 23 year old when she came across the Principles in 2005.  Since then she’s gone on to train 100's of people, speak at conferences and help in troubled parts of the world.
 
 In this episode Jen and I discuss how our role as coaches is to draw out what is already in our clients and to do our best to see what is already working well.  We are also joined by Jen and Dave’s 2.5 year old daughter, Lucia.  We touch on how some of the best learning we do is unlearning, or subtractive in nature; ie seeing that what we have learned in the past may not serve us.  Interestingly, that process feels truthful/fresh as if we’ve always known it, hence the fact that we are our best teachers.

I’d love to know what you’ve discovered and taught yourself that has really surprised you?

Dave Elleray is Three Principles Coach based in Cumbria in the UK.  Dave and his wife Jenny run a coaching practice called Freedom Thinking.  Dave has had a colourful life, some of which you’ll hear about in our conversation.  What’s amazing is how the discovery of who he actually is and how he operates allowed him to settle and turn his life around.
 
 In this episode Dave and I don’t talk about Celine Dion’s song the power of love but we do look at this incredible capacity that is baked in to every single one of us, no matter how much we may not believe it.  There is a great deal of hope in what Dave has to say and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

 In this episode ChiDubem and I discuss how exciting it is to watch things being created from nothing  other than a fresh though and the realisation that our capacity to do this lies just under the surface.  I even managed to coax one of his poems from him… I hope you enjoy our conversation, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Sheela Masand is a coach, mentor and author based in Albir, Spain.  I’ve been keen to speak to Sheela for some time: we’ve crossed paths on the Heartfelt Presence platform as we have handed over the reins and I’ve been keen to ask her about her work.

In this conversation, Sheela and I discuss the genesis of her book, “Inside Out Transformation” and the Viva Event, a conference she co-founded in Albir, that runs every November.  I love the enthusiasm, passion and joy she has for creating opportunities for people to discover more about themselves and how we as human beings tick, 100% of the time…
