Starting From Scratch David McKechnie & Stephen Adam

Finding himself in need of a course correction, Steve Adam went to Life Coach and NLP Master Practitioner David McKechnie for some tips on how to make positive life changes.

In episode 1 Dave explores the Wheel of Life and how to get the clarity needed to begin the journey. Steve and Dave also discuss what led them to the point of change….

Who are you? I mean, who are you truly? What really matters to you? Our personal values are the compass by which we navigate life when we are being true to ourselves, maximising our happiness, fulfilment and opportunity. But have you ever really assessed what your values are? Dave delves deep, outlining the 14 primary values and tasks Steve with exploring which of them matter most to him. Sadly for Steve, playing video games isn't one of them…….

How often have you set yourself a goal which you came nowhere near to achieving? We've all done it. Perhaps the reason we're not achieving our goals is because we're not setting the right ones. In Episode 3 Dave lays out the path to setting valid, sustainable goals which align with our values and will ultimately improve our Wheel of Life scores (see episode 1). Dave tries to keep Steve in check, again. Steve realises looking like Chris Hemsworth may not be for him after all.….

The mischievous gremlin on your shoulder - you know the one - the nagging little voice telling you you're not good enough, not experienced enough, not attractive enough...it's time to kick its ass. In episode 4 Dave explains how to manage and overcome our limiting beliefs. LISTENER WARNING - episode may result in burnt toast.

He's armed with his values and focused on his wheel of life. His goals have never been smarter. He struts the streets of Dublin - almost recklessly emboldened by his empowering beliefs. Yet still your old Pal Stevo's mind wanders occasionally. In an era of push notifications the best of us get distracted from time to time. Never fear. In our last episode Dave gives us strategies to help keep us on track and overcome the occasional obstacles that might derail us. Dave takes the intro for this one…..big shoes to fill. Floppy ones.

Having banished our Gremlins in episode 4 it's time to welcome our inner Champion to the table - the one who'll whisper in our ear at every opportunity "Oh yes you damn well can". In episode 5 Dave explains empowering beliefs, their value and how we can use them to achieve our goals. Steve does Chewbaca impressions. Poorly.
