I've been there, with a book collection growing faster than I could read and a...

    Episode 92 - The Power and Joy of Compromise

    In this episode, I explore the significance of compromise in relationships and how it can bring about both power and joy. Contrary to popular belief compromise does NOT mean giving up power or settling for less. Instead, it can actually lead to win-win situations, where both parties feel satisfied and valued.Stop viewing compromises as deal breakers. Instead of seeing them as sacrifices or concessions, approach them with an open mind and a willingness to find common ground. Effective communic...

    Episode 89 - Don't ask yourself 'Who' but 'How' you want to be

    In this podcast episode, I look at designing your future from a meta-perspective and challenge conventional wisdom around visualization techniques.

Instead of asking the question "Who do I want to become?" I suggest a more dynamic and emotionally resonant method: focus on how you want to feel on a da...
