My passion in life is personal development. This passion led me to the world of NLP, Coaching, Time Line Therapy™, and Hypnosis. Which in turn enabled me to align my career and my passion. Learning, and then sharing what I learn with others is what I love to do. I have been working in the personal development field for 17 years. Even before it became my full-time occupation I read avidly about the nature of life. Deep questions about the meaning and structure of reality drove my quest. I always thought that if I uncovered how the universe really functions then I would have experiences that bring me joy and happiness more often. As many of you know, in 2019 I published a book called It’s Time, about what I’ve learned about time, consciousness, and our human existence.

I love history because it is jam-packed full of interesting stories, extraordinary events, and fascinating people. History is the story of how we ended up where we are now. It is the reason that people speak certain languages; why countries have the borders that they do; and why people follow certain belief systems; as well as so much more. By understanding the past we can put the present into its proper context.

Feeling emotions, good or bad, is an everyday aspect of being human. We constantly undertake activities that we believe will bring us a sense of happiness, joy, fulfilment, accomplishment, success, fun, or purpose. Experiencing these emotions helps us to feel fully human. And yet there are times in our lives when instead we feel anger, sad, fear, guilt, hurt, shame, or jealousy to name a few of our darker moods. These too are part of being human. The problem comes when negative emotions start to take over our lives.

The creators of NLP noticed that hypnosis is a very effective tool for personal change. Simply put hypnosis is a form of trance. And trance is a natural and normal part of being human. One of the things about a hypnotic trance is that it puts your mind into a receptive state to accept positive suggestions. This is why it is so useful in personal development.

This episode is an introduction to stories and metaphors. The more you explore the idea of using stories, analogies, anecdotes, and metaphors in the way you communicate the more you will understand just how deep a subject this really is.

There are a handful of thinkers, writers and speakers who have influenced me the most, and it is two of these Wayne Dyer and Stephen Covey that I talk about in this session of my podcast.

The pursuit of happiness is assumed by many people to be the purpose of living. But do we need to pursue it, can’t we just be happy because that’s what we chose to be?

Leadership is one of the most studied but least understood subjects in the psychological and social sciences. But it is an essential component of making any organisation successful.

Today the world faces many challenges. I believe that the way to tackle these issues is to re-understand what our experience is about and how reality works. We need to update our model of the world, we need a New Paradigm.

On this episode I talk about mindset, what is it, and if you need to, how do you change it.

What are we learning, how efficiently, effectively, and how consciously are we learning?

I am going to explore Near-Death-Experiences. These are accounts of what people experienced, whilst they were clinically dead. Not only does this subject gives us information about what could await all of us eventually, it also tells us more about how we should be living our physical lives on Earth too.

Human evolution is a fascinating subplot in the history of life on Earth. On this podcast I am going to explore a psychological model that maps out the evolution of human thinking to help us to understand what might be next for humanity.

Most people would agree that being in a committed long-term romantic relationship with another human being is one of the greatest gifts that life can offer. And that being in an unhappy one is a whole lot worse than being single. But how do you learn how to make relationships work?
