Think about relationships that you have. How do you look after of those relationships to sustain and deepen them? Now what if you'd think of all dimensions of self care - nurturing your mind, treating your heart, strengthening your body and cultivating the soul - as relationships. How can you look after each of them. The idea of balance is sometimes misleading, because somehow we think of an equal weighting. In this episode Matt and Daniel share, what they do to cultivate each of these relationships and also what they sometimes struggle with. Hey - unfortunately we often forget to look after some of these relationships, so take some time to invest in Heart, Mind, Body & Soul!

If leadership is all about enabling and developing the team to achieve outstanding performance - wouldn't every great leader then be a great coach as well? This is the fundamental question for Matt and Daniel on this episode. Picking up the conversation from the last episode on grit, they start with the need for coaching. Cause the piece that differentiates us from humanity 30, 50 or 100 years ago, is not our human capability that evolved, but our progress in all scientific and practical fields coupled with improved education, teaching and coaching. So, for our personal growth a coach is essential to accelerate, to have another pair of eyes and ears and the feedback that we need to improve. If you are not convinced of the need for coaching or for having a coach yourself, then listen to this episode!
