• The power of giving space with Matt Roberts
    Dec 1 2024

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Today I want to introduce you to Matt Roberts, a coach and former British High Jumper. I’ve got to know Matt over the last 6-9 months and I just love the way he sees the world and his wish to share what he’s seen with his clients. Matt mainly works with elite sports people outside of his main employment in events management. I think you’re going to really enjoy his take on life.

    In this episode we play with the ideas of being caught up in our heads, our ability to loosen our grip on things, the hidden variable of clarity of mind, as well as the power of giving ourselves and those around us space and see what shows up.

    I’d love to hear where you’ve surprised yourself with what came to mind when you gave yourself space to slow down?

    At the end of the recording I mentioned a workshop I intend to run at some point in the New Year on the role of clarity of mind in decision making. If that interests you follow this link to receive a free 10 page pdf on the topic and I’ll keep you posted as plans firm up.

  • Simplicity in complex environments with Harriet Hancock
    Nov 17 2024

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Harriet Hancock is a senior leader in the justice and immigration sector who has found that coaching from a Three Principles based perspective has enabled her to be a more grounded, capable and supportive leader. Harriet and I have known each other for a few years now, having crossed paths through One Thought. We’ve always found it interesting that as leaders with fairly complex and hostile working environments that we’ve both been drawn to look in the same direction to be of greater service.

    In this episode… which includes an unavoidable technical hitch (sorry)… we discuss the place of simplicity in complex environments. We also discuss the role curiosity plays for leaders and their teams to be able to tap in to their innate clarity and creativity.

    Harriet paraphrased two quotes, as like me, she can’t rely on being able to nail them word for word but we both know we can convey the sentiment. However, I thought I’d share them with you here:

    "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them." Albert Einstein

    "If the only thing people learned was not to be afraid of their experience, that alone would change the world." Sydney Banks

    Harriet and I are both firm believers in both these statements and relish the opportunity to help people realise them for themselves.

    I’d love to hear where you’ve been surprised that you have found curiosity, creativity and clarity in your life, despite the complexity of the ongoing situation?

  • There's less to do with Lynne Brannigan
    Nov 3 2024

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Lynne Brannigan is a coach based in Spain with over 20 years’ experience, who has relatively recently discovered the Three Principles. I had the absolute pleasure of being paired up with Lynne during a coaching course we did together last year with Jamie Smart. During the 9 months and beyond we have had regular, light hearted and fun catch ups and I wanted you to be able to experience some of that.

    In this episode our conversation ranges from Lynne’s fear of being a guest on the podcast, to how she’s seeing there’s less to do having gained an understanding of the Principles, through to the wonderful experience of learning for the fun of it rather than from a place of lacking a skill.

    I’d love to hear what you’re finding you need to do less of having heard this episode, or any of the others?

  • The teacher within us with Jen Elleray
    Oct 20 2024

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Jen Elleray is Three Principles Coach based in Cumbria in the UK. You may recognise the name after last episode with Dave Elleray because Jen is the other half of a coaching practice called Freedom Thinking. Jen was an very shy, anxious 23 year old when she came across the Principles in 2005. Since then she’s gone on to train 100's of people, speak at conferences and help in troubled parts of the world.

    In this episode Jen and I discuss how our role as coaches is to draw out what is already in our clients and to do our best to see what is already working well. We are also joined by Jen and Dave’s 2.5 year old daughter, Lucia. We touch on how some of the best learning we do is unlearning, or subtractive in nature; ie seeing that what we have learned in the past may not serve us. Interestingly, that process feels truthful/fresh as if we’ve always known it, hence the fact that we are our best teachers.

    I’d love to know what you’ve discovered and taught yourself that has really surprised you?

  • The power of love with Dave Elleray
    Oct 6 2024

    I'd love your feedback, send me a message

    Dave Elleray is Three Principles Coach based in Cumbria in the UK. Dave and his wife Jenny run a coaching practice called Freedom Thinking. Dave has had a colourful life, some of which you’ll hear about in our conversation. What’s amazing is how the discovery of who he actually is and how he operates allowed him to settle and turn his life around.

    In this episode Dave and I don’t talk about Celine Dion’s song the power of love but we do look at this incredible capacity that is baked in to every single one of us, no matter how much we may not believe it. There is a great deal of hope in what Dave has to say and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
