Episode 9: Bringing your whole self to life

We are delighted to have Roger Lee-Emery with us on the podcast today. Roger is a very experienced leader and an innately grounded and down to earth, glass half-full kind of person! He shares in the episode his own journey and reflections on what's helped his own wellbeing, self development and mindset over the years. He's travelled most of the world and met a lot of people in his time. Perhaps as a result or simply his nature, there's a refreshing perspective that Roger brings - which I've seen him live and breathe in his leadership roles, but also in how he navigates life and seeks to bring balance, growth and opportunity for people - whether that's his family and friends or the people who he works with. We chat about some interesting topics, such as what success means to him, how his relationship to emotions has changed, what makes him tick and finding peace and balance in micro-moments amongst the busyness and noise of life. I hope that you enjoy the conversation and apologies again that there is a bit of background noise, we haven't been able to edit out altogether. I'm embracing the imperfect and hoping that it adds a dose of reality and doesn't detract from your enjoyment of Roger's conversation! We'd love to hear any thoughts, reflections, questions etc that you may have on the back of the conversation. And if you'd like to connect with Roger directly, he is on Linked in here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-lee-emery-99490b5/ Thank you Roger for being a wondergul guest and sharing all that you did with us! And thanks everyone for listening. Bye for now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 8: Bringing your whole self to life

We are delighted to have Tony Grimes with us on the Podcast today! Tony is the Founder and Manager for the Cheshire Wellness and Mental Fitness CIC group and a qualified Mindfulness Teacher, amongst many other strings to his bow. Tony's wellbeing journey is a very inspiring one and also a very tough one as he shares honestly with us on the Podcast episode. Tony is continuing to navigate an ongoing healing recovery with chronic pain, due to a brain condition and previous injury, which at the time, meant taking early retirement from the Prison Service after 20 years dedicated career to helping some of the most vulnerable in society. Tony is genuinely one of life's amazing people, despite what he manages in his own life, he continues to dedicate his time and efforts to helping other people. We will hear all about his own approach and how that may be able to help you in your own wellbeing and life journey. I believe that his wisdom and approach can help all of us, regardless of where we are and what we are dealing with in our own lives. I hope that you enjoy listening to Tony's sory as much as I did. And please do let us know any feedback or comments you have, we would really love to hear your thoughts, any reflections and anything that has resonated with you. If you'd like to connect with Tony directly, you can connect with him via Linked in on: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-grimes-714689194/. Thank you Tony for being on here and simply and most importantly, for being you! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 7: Bringing your whole self to life

It is a privilege to welcome Colin Nicklas to the Podcast, Colin is a friend and former colleague who has a really interesting story and set of experiences, wisdoms and learning to share around health and wellbeing, self development and leadership too. His is a facinating journey, as a curious child hearing stories of far away cultures, travels and adventures, he set his sights firmly on joining the Royal Navy which he did at 18 travelling the world and experiencing a breadth and diversity of experience that has clearly given him great perspective, understanding, passion and wisdom about people and how to help them thrive. From there, its interesting to hear about how that shaped him as a person and a leader and how he has evolved all of that experience and those learnings into supporting leaders, teams and organisations as an independent Consultant and Coach to benefit from the space and partnering he generously gives to learn, grow and fulfil their potential. Colin's warmth and honest sharing around the challenges he's faced and the tough times he's come through really I think really reinforce those key messages about the strength of vunerability, the importance of 'self' in our wellbeing and leadership attention, normalising asking for help when you're not okay, finding your own rhythms, mechanisms and resources that support you and the power of inner circles, communities and support networks. Things that we can all do to help ourselves and each other too. I hope you all enjoy the episode and please do feel free to connect with Colin directly. He's on Linked in at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colin-nicklas/ Colin also mentioned the 'John Adair model of Action Centred Leadership'. You can find out more on this here: https://www.businessballs.com/leadership-styles/action-centred-leadership-john-adair/ https://adairleadership.org/acl Thank you Colin! Hosted on Acast.

Episode 5: Bringing your whole self to life

I am delighted to welcome Lisa Sherlock to the Podcast in this episode and I hope that you enjoy listening to Lisa's story and our conversation. In this episode, we're diving in to explore the importance of the right nutrition for our body's long term quality of health. Specifically we're exploring with Lisa, the important data and research carried out by Zinzino, on our Omega 6:3 balance (amongst other key areas of our health & wellness) and how this can directly affect our chances of preventing or reducing life limiting/threatening diseases, inflammation and our immune response. There are some simple information we can test to understand where we all are, and importantly what we can do to improve our bodies' health from the inside out. Lisa will also share more on this, as well as how she came to learn about the power of getting the right balance and quality of personalised supplements on our health. Many of us may think we're taking vitamins and eating healthily, but when we actually test, we find that we're still not getting the right quality of ingredients going into our systems and being absorbed by our cells. Lisa is keen to get the message out there, to help more people to know about all of this, to make informed choices for themselves. We will also be discussing Lisa's own background and learnings about self discovery through the conversation too. I hope you enjoy it! To connect with Lisa, these are her details: Lisa Sherlock Independent Partner @ Zinzino.com Email lisasherlock@talk talk.net Tel 07841428665 Web Link https://www.zinzino.com/2017652325 To read more about Zinzino Hosted on Acast.

Episode 1: 'Bringing your whole self to life'

In our very first episode, I am delighted to be chatting with Rebecca (Becca) Muscant, from Wind Horse Wellbeing, about her story, what brought Becca to the work she does now in helping people to transform their wellbeing through her therapeutic work with animals, horses and cats in particular! We chat in here about the power of animals in helping us to be present with ourselves, tapping into our own bodies' wisdom, emotions and needs and how we can bring healing through this uniquely powerful and intuitive process. Becca shares more of her personal story, what drew her to train in the work she does now, how it has helped her (and continues to do so), as well as the many clients she has helped too. Becca's unique gifts help many people to connect with themselves, in such a safe and special way and I think you'll feel her gentle, wise and beautiful energy transcend the medium of this podcast! If you'd like to come along to one of our Wellbeing workshops with Horses, please get in touch with Becca or myself. We have an upcoming workshop on Saturday 13th September, 10am - 1pm. If you'd like to know more about Becca, you can find her on: https://www.windhorsewellbeing.co.uk/ And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/windhorsewellbeingbecca/ Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-muscant-wind-horse-wellbeing-171493b5/ Hosted on Acast.
