What does being proactive mean to you?

In today's episode I bring in one of my favorite books, Stephen Covey's 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People.

Let's Talk About Sex: Understanding Your Personal Sexual Story: What is your sexual story? No, I'm not talking about a romance novel type of story. I'm talking about the narrative you have around sex, the one that was started many years ago with your very first encounters with the ideas, feelings and attitudes around sex. We all have a sexual story that was started when we were young and is being added to constantly. Many people's stories around sex are based in shame, judgement, embarrassment and expectation. That leads to sexual experiences and feelings that are unhealthy and certainly don't uplift and heal. by Having It ALL: Conversations about living an Abundant Loving Life

Who Am I… To Coach Others?: There are coaches everywhere and for everything nowadays. So many are doing a wonderful job helping others get towards where they really want to be. In Jonny’s experience there are those coaches whom, however, seem to have access to a deeper dimension of perception and understanding. From such a vantage point they are able to connect dots that we don’t see in ways that we can’t imagine and bring out something in us that we didn’t know existed. They help us to come back to who we really are. It makes them gurus! Our guest this week is Dr Dave Alred MBE who has been a guiding force throughout Jonny’s career, and is, in his eyes, a guru! Dave’s uncanny ability to read a situation and know exactly what was needed to liberate new spaces of enjoyment, confidence, self-trust and performance and all in such an effortless, engaging way.
