Shazia Govindji is a Three Principles based, Professional Wellbeing and Leadership Coach from London. Shazia and I met through being members of the One Thought Alumni and over the last few years have had some really fun and insightful conversations and I wanted to share one of them with you.

In this conversation Shazia and I discuss the power of getting curious and showing up for our clients with a quiet mind, no judgement and no expectations for where the session will go. This can be unnerving for some who want clear direction. However, when their minds settle and they start to look beyond their current understanding and become curious themselves, the needle really starts to move.

Marina Galan is a Three Principles, coach, mentor and trainer from Querétaro in Mexico. Marina is also on the Board of the Three Principles Global Community (3PGC).

In this conversation we discuss a wide range of topics: from creating content and language for the Three Principles for use in the Spanish speaking world; to working in different communities; to supporting Ukrainians and Russians caught up in the current conflict; to the powerful and RE-assuring way that wisdom feels familiar. We even get disturbed by a piece of technology that was listening in…

Neil “Silvie” Silvester was a Lance Corporal of mine in The First Battalion the Royal Green Jackets in 2001 and we have been friends ever since. Silvie’s been a Policeman and worked in a variety of places from pubs to factories and from a shooting school to warehouses. After an accident at work he even took himself back to college to study art.

In this conversation we discuss the journey he’s had with his mental health: from believing there was something missing, something wrong with him; to realising he could hold it all more lightly and let those feelings pass rather than chasing them down. As ever, the most exciting part is him seeing that potential in others and that he can serve people, wherever they are, by listening without judgement.

James Layfield is a serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of two very distinct organisations at the moment but those organisations are linked by a common purpose; helping orphans. Clearfind is an AI tool that scans companies software and finds cost savings: the client retains 70% of the savings, Clearfind takes 15% for it’s fee and the remaining 15% goes to James’ other venture, The Awesomage. This is where the orphans come in…

This conversation looks at the potential for commercially driven organisations to make real tangible differences in the world by looking for win win opportunities. I found this conversation hugely inspiring. Not only for the scale of what The Awesomage’s ambition but also for how private sector organisations could operate and offer real social value in the world.

Nici Butchart is good friend and the Managing Director of Innate Health Research, a non-profit consulting group dedicated to changing the way people think about mental health. They drive collaborative projects that investigate the power of simple, creative mental health solutions.

This conversation points to the fact that, despite our plans, we are actually all winging it in the moment. Those plans have helped get us to the moment of execution, but from that point we are equipped with an amazing, innate resource that enables us to “wing it” successfully. This isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about our ability to deal with what shows up, on or off plan.

Anna Debenham is the founder of The Insight Alliance in Portland, Oregon. The Insight Alliance is an amazing organisation that works to support people in the criminal justice system in the US through their very successful program, Insight to Wellbeing. They've established a real community for those they’ve worked with to help with their transition back into civil society.

This conversation points to the fact that we all have innate wellbeing at our core. How profound it can be for people to learn that fact for themselves and the possibilities that has to change the trajectory of their lives.

Stuart Adams is an investor, director, non-executive director and mentor for companies in a wide variety of sectors. A few years ago Stuart heard something at a talk in Edinburgh about the missing piece of the equation in our day to day human interactions. That sparked Stuart’s curiosity to learn more.

This conversation covers how creating the conditions for everyone to bring their value to the table can really turn up the dial for companies and their relationships with clients and suppliers.
