TTE 151 – Bliss, queens and UBI

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’ve long been a fan of the work of Joseph Campbell. His encouragement to “follow your bliss” was one of the things that inspired me to start my first company (its tagline was “Do what you love”) and to trust that inner guidance system we all have, but that fewer people are willing to trust and follow. Here’s what Campbell had to say about it: Read More →

TTE 150 – Warm-heartedness, CRISPR and youth violence

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I was reading an interview with the Dalai Lama a while back, and came across this quote. It really resonated with me (or me with it). Today is the second day of a 2-day workshop I’m running with Clarity Coaches Dorothy Kolomeisky and Robin Lockhart called ‘Resolving the Roots of Youth Violence’. We’re sharing the principles behind clarity with youth workers from the UK and around the world, and looking at how we can support them in making a difference to the young people they work with. Yesterday, we spent much of our time talking about the power of connection, realisation and insight. It seems to me that we may have our hands on the very thing the Dalai Lama is pointing to here: Read More →

“Anything on earth you want to do is play. Anything on earth you have to do is work. Play will never kill you, work will. I never worked a day in my life.”
– Dr Leila Denmark (the USA’s oldest doctor)

I often hear people saying things like, “I’d do what I love, if only I knew what it was” and “I’d do what I love, if only I knew how to do it.” Back at the beginning of the year, I did a Facebook Live broadcast on my business page called “The 5 Paradoxical Clues To The Work You’re Here To Do”. People really loved it, so I thought I’d share the 5 paradoxical clues here in the JST over the next 5 weeks. So here’s the first clue: Read More →

TTE 149 – Truth, Games and Radioactive Dragons

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with
This one comes from Brad Blanton, author of the book Radical Honesty. While I’m very dubious about the value of his methods, this quote is a valuable companion for me.

“Yesterday’s truth is today’s bullshit. Even yesterday’s liberating insight is today’s jail of stale explanation.” Read More →

JST 224 – Your Calling

“We must therefore be willing to get shaken up, to submit ourselves to the dark blossomings of chaos, in order to reap the blessings of growth. Rejection is a writer’s best friend. If you are not failing regularly, you are living so far below your potential that you’re failing anyway.”
― Gregg Levoy

I’ve been preparing for an online masterclass I’m doing this Thursday called “The 5 Paradoxical Clues To The Work You’re Here To Do” and I’ve created a free guide to give you an idea of the kind of things we’re going to be covering in it. Read More →

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

This week’s comes from the author Anthony De Mello:

“Faith is the willingness to follow the truth, wherever it may lead, no matter what the cost.” Read More →

#003 – Charles Faulkner – Mind, metaphor and money

Released 30th May 2018 Subscribe: iTunes

In this episode I speak with Charles Faulkner (a man whose work has had a big influence on the way I think about language, metaphor and money). A trainer and a master modeller, Charles was featured in the book The New Market Wizards and other books for his pioneering work modelling the best market traders – so-called Market Wizards. Charles also led the way introducing Cognitive Linguistics as the basis of new metaphoric change processes. As a Visiting Senior Fellow to the University of Surrey School of Management, he has been instrumental in getting research in the UK started in NLP. His 2017 TED Talk introduces his newer thinking on the nature of our imagination.
