The Brian Keane Podcast

Paul has trained and mentored people for over 30 years as a keynote speaker all over the world. After 3 decades in the not-for-profit sector, Paul has successfully transitioned and reinvented as an educator through both his LIVE and online Masterclass events in Communication, Leadership and Personal Development.

Paul's three strands of focus are: Communication, Leadership and Human Flourishing. His hallmark is making complex things simple. Paul passionately believes it's more important to grow people than things.

He believes that there's greatness in everyone and knows that most need the help of a well-chosen coach or mentor to discover it.

He is also the host of the podcast Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon. This was a fantastic conversation and one I am very grateful for having. Although Paul's microphone quality isn't as high as other podcast guests, the value he speaks more than makes up for it. This was a mini therapy session for me so I hope you get as much from it as I did.

Here are some of the things we talked about in today's podcast:

• How labels can become our identities and how to watch out for that in your own life
• How to change your and upgrade your identity through repetition
• How to develop 'getting back up skill's when life knocks you down
• The art of unlearning beliefs, habits and behaviours that are no longer serving you
• The super power of reframing
• Why it's okay to outgrow people
• And much more.
