On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to adjust the speed of your life. This episode comes from the amazing insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. In particular, here I'm discussing the need that we have to adjust the speed of our lives. We can't drive in gear 5 all the time. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that if we're in gear 5 in one area of our life, other areas may have to stay in gear 2 or 3 for a while. Some other times we just need to just stop...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss who is the 'self' you're trying to develop? In a lot of the personal development world, we talk about developing the 'self' but when we take a deeper look at who this 'self' is, it makes less and less sense to focus on developing it. I believe this world of growth is a subtractive process, yet when we are looking at developing a 'self'. it can be the opposite. On this episode I discuss: Being bigger than what we think we are The 'self' is an...

On this week's In Focus session I discuss the difference between application and implication. In a lot of the personal development world, people are offering 'How To' or steps to achieve things.  While I don't see this as a bad thing, I do think there is something bigger at play. That, is understanding the implications of your personal learnings rather than looking at how to apply them. On this episode I discuss: The difference between application and implications Having less to...

On this week's episode I am joined by my friend and coach Sachin Sharma in the first of a series of podcasts in which we will be sharing our insights and experiences through our day-to-day lives.
