The CPR of Life

Who doesn't want to feel more comfortable speaking in public? Whether presenting to an audience, pitching to clients or networking having a clear message is really important. In this episode, I chat with public speaking coach and the owner of 'How to Present Training and Mentoring' - Briohny Williams.  

In this episode we talk about:

• Being grounded in your message;

Here is an important thing to remember: when you are speaking to an audience they are not there to see you - they are there to hear your message. Defining and refining your message is such a valuable investment of your time and energy. 

 Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• Public speaking is much more than presenting to thousands, it’s about being clear in your message whenever you are interacting, networking, engaging with others;

Briohny has a wonderful FB group 'Public Speaking for Entrepreneurs'. I highly recommend you check it out. 

Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You. 

I'm very excited about this conversation. My guests Leanne Macdonald and Julie Brown are blazing the trail with their My Mental Health Rocks initiative. Leanne and Julie both work in the area of mental health and wellbeing. Their passion is evident and the difference they make in the lives of others is admirable.  

In this episode we talk about:

• What the ‘My Mental Health Rocks’ initiative is;

My mental health rocks initiative really drives home the point that it takes a village and when that perspective is embraced amazing things can happen.  

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• Teachers already have so many demands placed upon them. Adding the responsibility of emotional learning is neither reasonable nor fair. Of course, there is so much emotional learning that already goes on in day to day life at school. Children are constantly learning and growing in all their interactions and through all their relationships;

 Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You. 

In this episode, I chat with Vicky Otter, a former teacher who followed her passion and now works as a wellbeing coach and facilitator. Vicky’s enthusiasm for all she does is evident, she really has such a lovely presence.  

In this episode we talk about:

• Running a workshop without a set agenda;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• There are huge benefits to having a loose agenda for a workshop, doing so creates the opportunity for the participants to explore their own creativity;

Until next time be well, be inspired, be you.

Many blessings,

Robert's passion is so evident in this conversation. I love his movement toward legacy leadership.

I'm always interested in what inspires someone to write a book. In this episode, I'm chatting with author and coach Ankush Jain about rediscovering (or discovering) who you really are. Ankush recently published his first book Sweet Sharing. It's an easy read filled with some valuable takeaways. 

In this conversation we talk about:

• Why Ankush wrote the book;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• Our reality is a reflection of our thinking moment to moment. There is a tremendous benefit to tapping into who we were before getting caught up in our thinking;

Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You. 

I'm excited to share this conversation with you. My guest Phil Goddard and I are taking a deep dive into the topic of love. Phil is a romantic at heart and has written a couple of books about love and I was intrigued to hear more about his journey and why love and how he brings that into his coaching practice. 

In this episode we talk about:

• Why Phil embarked on a journey to understand love;

 Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• What would love do? It is a great question to ask yourself when you are stuck, struggling or unsure of something, reflecting on this question can bring more clarity about the situation. It’s the type of inquiry that brings out the best in us;

Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You. 

In this episode I chat with Declan Stout, a caring human being with a big heart who is on a journey to transform many lives. We are talking about something near and dear to my heart - deep listening. 

Declan is the heart and soul behind Listen With Love - a beautiful space for people to donate their time to listen, and on the flip side, a free space for people to be listened to. 

In this episode we talk about:

• Deep listening: what it is and why it’s so powerful;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• Deep listening is an incredibly powerful thing. It is not about listening to respond, affirm, negate it is about being fully present. 

Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You. 

Mental health matters in every aspect of life. My guest Claire Russell and I talk about why mental health in the workplace is so important. When business leaders understand this everyone benefits. In this episode we chat about:

• The importance of acknowledging mental health in the workplace;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• I have to say this really hit home for me. Business leaders (and leaders in general) have a responsibility to make mental health part of the business culture. There is a huge ripple effect when leaders embrace this;

Until next time,  be well, be inspired, be you. 

On today’s episode, we are travelling (virtually that is) to Stoke-on-Trent in England to chat with Rebel girl Nicky Bartley. As a transformation coach, Nicky has a magic touch for helping people understand how the mind works. There might have been an ocean between us but I loved the connection I felt with Nicky.

We have a lovely chat about:

• Living a secret life with stress, depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• When we create a story of low self-worth and not-enoughness we stay behind the mask. It’s such a heavy place to live. We limit ourselves because we believe the story we have constructed. If we live in this state for long enough it starts to manifest symptomatically in our bodies. When we allow ourselves to drop the mask, we see that the potential and possibilities are limitless;

Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You.

Much love,

This month I’m travelling the world vicariously with my guests. Today I am jet setting to Isreal to chat with author, coach and speaker Chana Studley. Chana survived three vicious attacks which led to a period of time suffered debilitating PTSD and severe anxiety, in this episode, we talk about her journey to wellness.  

In this information-packed podcast, we take a deep dive into:

• Surviving trauma not once, not twice but three times and our inbuilt resiliency;

Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

• You are not your story. When severe trauma happens it is easy to embrace the story and let it define you. It can be difficult to let it go, and when you do, it opens the door to a whole new experience of life;

Much love,

Jessie-Lynn
