Sparks for Growth episodes

  • Phil Rose talks to Jackie Jarvis: when you’re in the fog you have a choice about what to reflect on…

    This is part 2 of a 3 part podcast with the walking coach Jackie Jarvis. In this episode Phil Rose talks to Jackie about her experience and learnings again from walking the Camino trails in Spain. We recorded this on January 6th 2022 as a follow up to the previous episodes. We set out to cover 6 keys points, and, as usual, the conversation developed further so there is a follow on conversation which will come out soon. We cover lots of topics that can be applied in your business and in your personal life. This is very much a balance of culture vs commercial and we know that the most ‘successful’ businesses are those that fully engage employees so they come to work with their full energy rather than ‘just for the money’.

    (Some of) The main points for listeners to listen out for:

    ·       How walking alongside someone can develop a better rapport even if we don’t ‘know’ the other person

    ·       How growth comes from the space between the ‘noise’ when we make time to reflect

    ·       The learnings from keeping a diary on our journey…

    ·       How meditation is beneficial for busy business owners…

    ·       Remembering why we do anything… and why that’s important

    ·       Asking the right questions to find a way forwards as we reflect

    ·       When we’re in the ‘fog’ we need to trust the process…

    ·       Gratitude helps you gain insight…

    ·       … and the fog will lift and allow the light to shine (and the parallel with our thinking)

    ·       What’s the thought you want to ‘hear’ and how do you want to be feeling…

    ·       What can you do differently to help you take the first step… change your thinking, change your outlook

    ·       How lucky are you in life… are you in the lucky camp?

    ·       If you keep a journal what are the common messages you read? How do you respond to them?

    ·       Chase Money and money runs, chase success money comes… 

    ·       And how much do you need… want…

    ·       What’s your why… focus on your purpose and what’s really important to you…

    ·       How are you living your own message? 

    ·       Take time to stop talking… start with a blank canvas and see what you can create… walking into the fog… and seeing what you can see…

    ·       And on to episode 3…
