3 Ways to Change Your Life - Dan and Karyn from Vitae Vi

3/2/2025
What a CRACKER of a conversation! It was a delight to meet Dan and Karyn from Vitae Vi in the SPARK Community space podcast room and record this chat. We discovered how to shift our mindset and our relationship with breathing, and we also touched on cold exposure. The impact of working with these 3 areas is powerful: I could go on and on - but have a listen, it's wonderful. We think there's probably another conversation to come out, but in the meantime, here's where you can find all the resources we talked about: Vitae Vi WebsiteDan's LinkedIn pageInstagram for all things Vitae ViFacebook WebsiteSign up for the Free Fast Three newsletterInstagramLinkedIn Support Our Podcast: Apple PodcastsSpotifyBlubrry Thanks so much for listening.

Belonging at Christmas - STP096

12/15/2024
Belonging at Christmas STP096 - We were gonna call this episode "Naked Christmas" after our opening line. But we backed off a little when we saw it in print! Why naked? Because both Naomi and I verbally 'bare all' in our chat about Christmas, families and the challenges of trying to meet everyone's expectations. Over at "How to Belong" Naomi talks to lots of people about how they have learned that if you try to meet other people's expectations - you're gonna find it tough. This episode is a joint 'broadcast' between Naomi and me where we hear about the guests Naomi has had on her podcast and talk about the future of both our podcasts - as well as some other fairly deep topics. If you want to listen to any of the episodes of How To Belong, or Sharppodcast - here you go: How to Belong - all the episodes Sharppodcast - all the episodes We hope you enjoyed our chat, and that you have a great holiday/break/Christmas - however you spend the next few weeks!

Here goes… CHECKLIST I love a checklist – they are more powerful than you might think. They: ✅ Save time ✅ Keep your head clear for what matters ✅ They even save lives WAY back in 2017, we made a podcast episode about checklists – and it’s a GREAT listen. It even features Steve-In-The-Field (my nemesis)... LAST NIGHT A CHECKLIST SAVED MY LIFE Some of the references might have got a bit out of date over the past 7 years, but the main ideas are perhaps even more valid in this world of overwhelm than they were back in 2017 (I now use Todoist to do most of the things I covered at the end.) BUSINESS IMPACT OF LEARNING (If you have a learning function in your business this may be interesting – if not – skip to the next one.) ❌ There’s NO POINT DOING TRAINING… …unless it has an impact on behaviours, and ultimately solves business problems. If you wanna measure the impact of learning in your business – here’s an article about it (the last two points are often overlooked) MEASURING THE BUSINESS IMPACT OF LEARNING ➡️ Have a read and if you need help – ask me! TAKING NOTES MORE EFFECTIVELY Jim Kwik has loads of great stuff. This video about how to take notes is no exception. See if you can spot similarities to a system that YOU AND I might know very well
