On this week's episode, I'm joined by John Evans, Author and Japanese Sword Master and teacher. On today's Success iD podcast John and I explore the fascinating concept of what John refers to as Internal Arts and how mastering your internal state can have hugely beneficial impacts on how you interact with the external world.

On this week's show my dear friend and co-presenter David Pilbeam and I reflect on October's podcast episodes, exploring the ideas of compassion and internal leadership. There were some really interesting ideas in both of these episodes which, on reflection have many complimentary areas to them, which were not apparent when recorded separately. Hopefully you'll get a lot of value from listening to this episode. Please leave us a positive review and subscribe!

If you are in a group or a team, you will have plenty of opportunity to lead, even if you are not the official (nominal) leader of the group. But will you? And what would need to be in place for you and your peers to step up and lead in a way that adds value to the team and helps you get closer to your goals rather than end up in anarchy? In this week's Success iD podcast, team coaching expert Patrick Ballin looks at what we mean by 'Internal Leadership,' why it is so important for high performing teams and how to create the right environment for such an approach to succeed.

In this episode I take some time out to explore a really important concept that has arisen in several guises over recent Success iD episodes and that is the idea of compassion. Perhaps the time is right for us as people keen to lead ourselves and others to start to take this concept seriously and think about how we can apply it in our leadership practice to others and ourselves.

In this episode I reference the second book David Pilbeam and I have published Leader iD. You can order your copy of the book from Amazon by following this link:

'Welcome to the Success iD podcast. A podcast inviting leading thinkers, practitioners and contrarians to discuss ways to lead yourself and others successfully. I'm Dr Glenn Wallis and on this week's show my good friend and co-presenter David Pilbeam and I review the podcast episodes of September, which covered: Mindfulness, Understanding Pain & Coping with Uncertainty

On this week's show Caspar Berry joins me to discuss Coping with Uncertainty as Success. I was recommended to connect with Caspar by a listener of the show, who had heard him deliver a corporate keynote speech, which was described to me as 'utterly fascinating." I'm confident that once you have listened to Caspar on this episode, you will feel the same way too. We explore the ideas of decision-making and judgement of the future, in times of uncertainty among many others.

You've probably heard a lot about Mindfulness, you might even have tried it for while. On this week's Sucess iD podcast, mindfulness and leadership expert David Mayes shares his knowledge and his deeply practical outlook to provide us with ways to adopt mindfulness. David makes a great case for the benefits of slowing down, being fully present and links that to how those of us committed to leading ourselves and others successfully can do so.

We have all experienced pain in its many forms: Physical, mental and emotional. What we are often less good at is truly acknowledging the pain for what it is and then understanding how we can best act upon it. In this episode, expert in the science and understanding of Pain, Richmond Stace and I discuss why being able to recognise, appreciate and manage pain is such an important aspect in order to help you lead your Self and others even more successfully.

Richmond explores the importance of mindfulness in relation to pain and our responses to it; the connectedness between physical, mental and emotional pain and what leaders can do to help themsleves and others perform better by understanding pain more fully.
