KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There’s a saying: Leaders eat last. That’s because they look after themselves first. Getting the balance right of being a little bit selfish so you can be selfless and lead others well is where it all starts for me.
• Being a leader is about how you show up day in, day out, it’s about consistency and understanding yourself, where you’re going and where you’re looking to take the people you’re leading and knowing when you should lead in a certain scenario or where it’s right for you to step back a little bit and let them people on your team step forward and lead. A key part of leadership is recognising the strengths in others and letting them make that leadership contribution and giving them the environment to do that.
• There’s a big difference between faking it and knowing that you’re stretching your comfort zone. Faking it is a mistake. Having someone to talk to and share your feelings with can be helpful to get yourself into a position where you’re not faking it, you’re stretching your comfort zone and you’re getting into a state, not A state, to do what you need to do. 
• I’m keen to make sure that there’s a good range of personality types in any team that I’m part of, and I seek to understand those personality types, those natural preferences. Some of these go on a gender continuum, some go along the introvert/extrovert continuum, some of them go along the thinkers/feelers continuum. Having a blend of all those gender and personality types in a team and being aware of the blend that you’ve got can really help you to draw on the right energies at the right time to solve the right problems.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you need to lead people you need to first think about how you’re leading yourself.’

‘You have to be vulnerable, if you’re not you’re not being truly honest. People can tell when you’re not.’

‘The success of a day happens the day before. If you’ve gone to bed in the wrong state, you’re likely to wake up in the wrong state and you’re going to be caught out.’

‘Leadership is about people – how do you motivate others and create a vision that others can follow? Management is about the task and getting things done. You can’t be a heartless leader.’

On this episode Paul is joined by returning guest, Keith Amoss who asks Paul some questions around the topic of this week’s show, which is the first in a three part series: You don’t need money to be wealthy, largely through the metaphor of a football match.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

•  I try to look at life from as many different perspectives as possible and I’ve met people from all walks of life and it’s fair to say that no matter who they are or how society may judge them because of their fame, fortune, or not as the case may be, there’s lessons in there for all of us.
• What’s in a word? Words have energies and meaning, but they only have the meaning that we choose to give them. Events in life are neutral.  I you think of a football match and one team plays in red, the other in blue, and one of them wins 1-0. The only meaning that result has to the 100,000 people watching, 50,000 supporting each side, is what those different sets of 50,000 people give it. To the winning side it’s been a great game, to the losing side, it’s a horrible game. But the result is the result is the result. This is a great metaphor for life.
• We’re conditioned with cliches like “better the devil you know”, “I’m a working class guy”, “girls should wear pink”, “girls shouldn’t play football”, “all rich people are crooks”, “you have to trample on people to get rich”. It can be quite difficult to overcome that. I spent decades in victimhood bemoaning what ball had been played to me and looking at how good other people seemed to have it. 
• Wealth is usually associated with money in the bank. That is a benchmark for life that we’re taught from an early age. What I’ve learned over the years is that money is an energy – an important energy – but it’s only important predominantly because of the meaning that so many people give it. Again, we have choices of how we see that energy. For me, health, happiness, social status and love are just as important.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I am something. I am nothing. I am everything.’

‘If we focused on just developing ourselves to be the best we can be as a player in the game of life, rather than be distracted by what other players are doing, just maybe the world would become a little bit of a better place.’

‘Life is a very simple game, but boy, do we complicate it.’

‘By trying to help humanity to love life more, humanity then can be kinder to all beings.’

On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time he talks about conversations that have come up with his clients, especially in his men’s groups: The notion of fixing things, or ‘the big fix’.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Parts of us, as individuals and in relationships may perceive as broken, wrong or hard to be with. What happens is there’s a real strong urge to fix the problems with us, that we want those things to go away. These include the problems that we perceive with our being, like getting impatient when my son cries, or I get angry at my wife when she doesn’t…, or I don’t feel I am worthy of this experience in my business, some disempowered story that you have about yourself, who you are, who you are not.
• With our ‘stuff’ or problems, my invitation to you is get in a better relationship with it, understand what’s actually going on with you, have some compassion for yourself and others and actually find out what will work for you in those moments where your stuff or problems come up. What’s the opportunity? Get curious about why that’s impacting you in the way it is and what’s the relationship to it that you can build that will support you?
• Don’t try to fix your problems, try to understand what’s actually going on with you and then to choose a way of being that is aligned with what you’re committed to in your life and your relationships.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What do we do with problems? We like to fix them. Especially men.’

‘I sometimes like to try to fix my wife’s problem for her, even when she hasn’t asked, and you can imagine how well that’s gone over!’

‘What do you need at the moment? Ask for it.’

In this episode Paul is joined by Sam Hales to talk about a very poignant topic that she was involved in personally, and how her cancer was a blessing in disguise.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• About 4 years ago, I was living in Spain and building a business with my ex-partner, we were a couple of years into running an English school there for Spanish students from the ages of 3-63. I became ill and really tired for unknown reasons. No doctor could find what was wrong with me. I was told I was working too hard and needed to rest. One day I passed out, which was unlike me, real shortness of breath. I was taken to hospital where an x-ray revealed I had a 10cm tumour on my lungs which was restricting them.
• I experienced a complete mixture of emotions, especially strong disbelief because you never think it’s going to happen to you. I had a young son who was almost 2 and we were building our lives there, it was the worst time for this to happen. But I took it on the chin and accepted it for what it was.
• I had to prepare myself mentally and physically. I had to change my diet, my whole lifestyle and my whole attitude of how to approach this. I was lucky to have a gentleman in the room next door whose Mum was in and really sick and he was so lovely. He was there listening to everything, he spoke really good English, and he asked me if I was OK. If he wasn’t there, there was a good chance I’d have sat there and cried. Instead I had to maintain an air of “everything’s fine”… which is very much a British thing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The surgeons told me I “met the demographic for this kind of cancer”, which I thought was a strange thing to say.’

‘At first they told me I had lymphoma and I didn’t know what that was. They didn’t give me the full diagnosis at first because they had to do a lot more tests, then they told me what else needed to happen and that I had cancer.’

‘We’ve been brought up with adverts on TV that portray cancer as a terminal disease and that it means automatic death if we ever hear that word. A lot less people are dying from cancer nowadays though, there’s not as much need to be as fearful of it as there once was because there are many ways to kill it.’

Paul is joined by returning guest Noha Hefny to continue their discussion around whether unsung heroes are born or made.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I can’t answer this question directly with one word. What differentiates unsung heroes from other heroes is that some people do heroic acts or acts that deserve recognition as a duty or an obligation, but for unsung heroes it’s a necessity. They serve, and it’s never calculated and there’s never an expectation of a return.
• There is one example that comes to mind from the pandemic. There were people from less developed countries carrying vaccines on their back to take them to people who didn’t have access to them. Nobody asked these people to do that but they felt responsible to ensure that people in their community had access to the vaccine, they provided that safety, that’s a heroic act, to walk miles carrying the vaccine or water to ensure that people are safe and healthy.
• Unsung heroes don’t fear disapproval or speaking up for what they stand for, they don’t run away in the face of conflict. They are willing to put in limitless amounts of time, including sleepless nights in order to undertake that particular effort. They put others before themselves. This can be nurtured and something that can be developed over time if we really have the resolve to do something.
• The values of a would-be unsung hero are: a very strong idea of ethics and morality, always wanting to do the right thing, determination, passion and conviction, courage, determination, standing up for what is wrong, outspoken and moral.

BEST MOMENTS

‘For some people it’s part of their makeup, who they are. But others may have gone through a downturn in their life and as a result they start reflecting on how they could be of service and how they can make a difference and they go through a transformation journey that leads them to serve their community without expectation.’

‘Any unsung hero is delivering actions selflessly in the service of community/the world on the basis of necessity and they expect nothing in return.’

‘For unsung heroes there is a sense of courage, ownership or responsibility that plays in. There is a sense of belief, faith, perseverance, and resolve to solve something. Without those components not everyone can be an unsung hero.’

‘They are role models using themselves and their personalities to make a difference.’

Paul is joined by returning guest Ravi Nair to talk about what exactly a soulful leader is, as the pair of them are co-founders of an organisation called ‘Soulful Leaders’.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When I was growing up I used to play musical chairs and that game taught me that to win I had to knock somebody off their chair. As I grew up, I made some mistakes in my life. I was knowingly or unknowingly involved in playing politics because leadership was important to me. I think that happens to a lot of people when they are chasing a position or a title. Soulful leaders are different: Rather than being in charge of people it’s about how you work with people.
• Everybody is a born leader, but over a period of time a transition happens, as an influence of the environment or the people around you, everybody tries to influence you with their own leadership styles. If something worked for somebody in their life they push it on you and you adopt it, like aggression making you successful.
• A soulful leader doesn’t have to be leading a group of people, they can simply be leading themselves. If you are able to lead yourself you will be doing a whole lot of good for the entire world. You have to lead yourself to think rationally and make rational decisions, to not be judgemental of people, to manage your own emotions. People will emulate you as a leader, you will become a role model for people.
• Traditional leaders who say “do as I say””, but soulful leaders say “do as I do”. I would rather follow a soulful leader, they don’t have a fear of compromising, failing or losing.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Traditional leadership defines leadership on an external level, like what’s the journey and what will you achieve at the end? Soulful leaders go a bit more internal, what do you become as a human being at the end of the journey? What you become defines the next journey for you.’

‘Soulful leadership is about reprogramming people.’

`We go to business courses at university and they teach us patience as a leader. Just look at your mother, she’s a mobile university student roaming the house. You just have to watch her and how she manages when there’s no money or when your dad comes home from a bad day. How does she handle this issue? She does a balancing act. Mothers are soulful leaders.’

‘Your circumstances may not allow you to be one, but everybody has the desire to be a soulful leader.’

Paul is joined by Leah Morgan for the second of a two-part episode which is a very poignant one. Leah shares some experiences and lessons she and her family have been through since she tragically lost her daughter to leukaemia.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Maggie has had this almighty ripple effect and, a bit like water, it can be gentle as it trickles down a stream but over time the power of that gentle persistent flow can break down rock. 
• I really hope that little Maggie has put my son Mason, who is 21 and at uni, on a life’s course where it’s not all about money and how to accrue things. I hope that his idea of wealth and what he’s going to do with these amazing years of his life is about living fully and going into a career that lights him up because he knows how precious life is.
• The impacts it had on my relationships with my children and friends, some people fall away because they can’t manage or don’t know what to do, but there are some that really step forward. That’s wealth, our energy should be conserved for those relationships.
• In relationships it’s give and take, we support and we are supported, when I think of myself as the supporter on the side lines for my husband and my three living children my role is to remind them of the meaning of life and was it and what’s not important when they’re feeling bogged down, or connect to the joy in life and what really matter so they grow up into people that value joy and experience rather than money that’s in their bank account.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I lost Maggie physically, but I haven’t lost Maggie in terms of my life. I've learned how to integrate my experiences into her ‘new’ self who I’ve brought forward in a healthy way to connect with her legacy and her lessons.’

‘Lock-down really gave us the push to move and me and my husband thought, there’s a whole world out there, let’s go and explore something new, go and heal and find peace in the woods and by the sea in Dorset.’

‘Dad’s can get lost into the conversations around pregnancy loss and stillbirth. We have to bring their voices in too.’

‘Maggie has taught me the meaning of life, the meaning of loving fully.’

On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time he tells a cautionary tale about how he destroyed his first marriage. He shares three things that, in hindsight, he’s noticed he was doing that were not supporting what he was committed to with his first wife.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• While they were happening I was so in my own context and my own story about our relationship and marriage that I couldn’t see. If you’re in the jar how can you read the outside label? I was so in my experience of relationships I couldn’t see what was happening on the outside.
• The first thing I noticed at the beginning of the end of my marriage was resentment. Resentment is the number one offender that will destroy everything that you have. It started to pull me away from her until she became the problem for me. That’s not true, of course, but it’s how it felt at the time. I was unhappy, overworked, I needed help in lots of areas of my life and I didn’t know how to ask for it and I was using drinking and substances to self-medicate which added fuel to the fire.
• The second thing I noticed was that I would make her wrong. She couldn’t do anything right, from the way she cooked dinner to the way she paid our bills, you name it I had an opinion about everything. That started to rob the safety of our relationship from her which also pulled her away from me as well. In hindsight I was trying to make something safe and secure for us, but I was coming at it so sideways. 
• The third thing was that I was pretty controlling in the sense of what she should and shouldn’t do. Not that she needed permission from me, she could do whatever she wanted to do, but I knew what was right, I knew what made her wrong and I’d also try to fix, manage and control certain situations. For example, if we were out with friends and I wanted to go but she wanted to stay I’d say she had to come home with me, I’d make her feel like she didn’t love me, respect me, how dare she, she should come home. Again, that robbed safety from her and in hindsight I can see how I created every possible opportunity from her to pull away.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I just wasn’t ready to be in that level of commitment, that level of marriage and she probably wasn’t either, we were both very young when we got married.’

‘I very much look back on my first marriage as one of the places where I learned so much about what not to do in a relationship.’

‘That poor woman! I have a lot of empathy for her now having to be with me at that time in my life before I’d done the work I’ve done and learned more about myself as a man and in relationship is so strong. There was a time too that I really apologised as best as I could fully about how things went down. We’ve also both thanked each other too because we both learned a lot from this process.’

‘What ultimately happened is that I was self-medicating with alcohol and substances and that really started to increase the more I was discontented, and the harder work got. I needed to get professional help and I got it, but it was the last straw for our relationship. Why is she putting up with all of this? Why would she want to help this monster? She was kind and helped through the process, but she was done and I don’t blame her for that. It was courageous for her to end that relationship and ask for a divorce.’

Paul is joined by returning guest Sharon Griffiths to talk about whether we’re here to just do as we’re told after having a conversation a while back to which Sharon replied to Paul in this way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Curiosity plays a part in how we react to be told to “do as you’re told”. If it doesn’t make sense I wouldn’t do as I’m told, or I’d try it out. I do as I’m told until it doesn’t make sense and that’s where the curiosity comes in. I’ve learned through half a century of experience that sometimes it can lead me to where I want to go, but sometimes it doesn’t. If I do as I’m told when it doesn’t make sense, and I’ve paid that price many times, you pay the price one way or another.
• I test what I feel works little bit by little bit and as I build the tests up, and they work at the time, I push it a bit further. Once I jumped off the first diving board at swimming class and it was horrible. I did a belly-flop and I thought “never again”. I suppose that’s a physical example: I didn’t trust the teacher or myself and it self-actualised, it was a horrible experience.
• Through my career I’ve learned that people can present to you a persona that is highly wonderful and you can trust them, but you can’t read the thought bubbles in their head, so you don’t know if what they’re doing can be trusted or if you’re going to be empowered or disempowered in that process. It takes time to not just understand what they want you to do but also if they’re working in your best interest. Only by experience will you find that out.
• Sometimes you just have to make a leap of faith. I made a choice on the 31st March 2017 at 10:50am to either stay in my life as it was until I decided not to, or did I choose to invest in myself, in my learning and the subject that I was interested in to change my life. I gave myself 30 minutes to make that decision and as I sat there I felt my hormones rising and I took that leap of faith and went with it. I’m now further than I thought I could have been.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Sometimes saying “just do as you’re told” comes from a place of exasperation. But who is it easier for?’

‘To know we’re not to do it is not to know. If we don’t know somebody, what evidence is there to trust them?’

‘Be complacent, do as you’re told and follow whatever they tell you. It’s much harder to do as you’re told by yourself because if you don’t trust yourself you’ve got a lot of little discussions in your head, so it’s a lot easier to do what other people say and when it doesn't work out you’ll soon find out.’

Paul is joined again by Noha Hefny to talk about unsung heroes, what the term means to her and what makes an unsung hero.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For me they are ordinary people who perhaps lack visibility, exposure, they are everyday heroes that undertake gestures and acts of kindness, generosity, impact and they inspire others to make a difference – not through big actions, but through everyday acts of kindness and generosity. They are the people who really step up during the hardest times that we face in our societies and they take the accountability and responsibility to address issues head on without really expecting any recognition.
• We haven’t done a good enough job yet to recognise these efforts that are really aligned with human values and are the core essence of what it means to be human and humanity.
• Women by nature have a nurturing nature, they feel responsible to take care of those around them. I think there are many unsung heroes who are women, for example, during the pandemic the number of nurses and teachers – the majority of which are women – these are people who selflessly worked night and day to make sure that education and health systems were not disrupted, risking their own health, wellbeing and safety for the wellbeing of others. These are definitely unsung heroes. To be fair to the men as well, there are many unsung heroes like the ones who dedicate their lives to a humanitarian career, working in conflict zones to take care of refugees or people who are struggling, these are unsung heroes as well.
• We need everyone to deliver what they can in order to really make a difference, at the end of the day every small action or act of kindness matters.

BEST MOMENTS

‘These are selfless people who dedicate their lives every day to making a difference and impacting their communities positively, however they lack the exposure, visibility and even the interest in that. It’s a genuine authentic act that they do with zero expectations except goodwill, doing good and impacting societies and communities in a positive way.’

‘You’re not living in isolation in the world, you have responsibility and you’re accountable for things that, without even being asked, you want to address. Most of these unsung heroes are tackling big issues as well through every day small actions, which sometimes grow into something much bigger.’

‘To be an unsung hero you have to have courage. In the world we’re living in today women are facing inequalities, so for them to make a difference and undertake these selfless acts to help communities and the world takes a lot of courage and much more challenges and struggles than men would have to face.’

‘An unsung hero is a reference that should be giving by others, I’d feel a bit arrogant saying I was an unsung hero!’
