Description

Ladies n' Genmin, absolutely delighted to welcome to the "GLT Clearing", the wise and wonderful Nick Fordham, currently based in Hong Kong! Nick Fordham has been described as being "the most highly saught-after soft-skills trainer in Asia" - or as I like to call him "the most saught after man in Asia in soft trainers!" Chortle!Nick is a friend, facilitator, coach and a very wise man. And as I knew all along - he'd be well worth "giving a damn good listening to" indeed - and he doesn't dissapoint!Nick and I also work together at Working Voices. Most recently at a big global client gathering in Abu Dhabi - at the very end of last year.This is a wonderful rich-and -textured conversation,  with some great stories to enjoy along the way: About Nick and his the creative process as an ex-actor, faciltator - and as an extremely talented Coach with "top-tips a-plenty" to share and divulge.We talk about the profound power of "reframing" in Coaching - and Nick's first experience of it, in the form of some very powerful advice indeed from his father, at the age of 23, when Nick was at a low point in his life and career. But also - as you'll hear - this was also a profound point of "new beginnings" for Nick, and indeed the notion of "reframing" continues to carry him along to where he is to this day.Nick is a superb conversationalist and there are many great stories and "Eureka moments" to enjoy along the way.Listen to Nick's story about the creative process - and  about "Dare to Suck" in the context of the band Aerosmith in particular!(I've created  a special "Chapter" here in the Podcast dedicated to that story!) So - pull up a cup of coffee (or even better, a glass of wine!) and enjoy the ride!And thank you for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"If you'd like to find out more, then please do check out my websites www.secondcurve.uk + www.instantwit.co.uk - and there's also a dedicated "Good Listening To" Facebook Group c/o the link above.Plus if you'd be interested in the experience of being given "a damn good listening to" yourself, or you'd like to explore the idea of some Personal Impact Coaching from me CG - to help level-up your confidence, communication, and personal impact c/o my online Coaching proposition: The Second Curve "Zoom Room" - then, by all means, do get in touch via any of the usual social media channels (see above) or you can email me at chris@secondcurve.uk (The Second Curve "Zoom Room": Coaching to get you to the next level - or Clarity on how to get to "where next?")

The podcast that invites my guests to 'The Clearing' or serious happy place of their choosing and from where the 'story behind the story' of being them unfolds. It's the Storytelling show with the Squirrels & the Tree from Motivational Comedian Chris Grimes! The podcast that sets out, suffused with storytelling metaphor, to tell the "story behind the story" of being YOU! And it all takes place in a 'serious happy place' of your choosing called "The Clearing": Where all good QUESTIONS come to be asked - and all good STORIES come to be told! Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing and with Stories rather than Music. Also think about Shakespeare - about "All the World's a Stage" - and about "Legacy" in particular: "Who are you? What's your story? And what 'life-lessons-learned-along-your-way' would you like to share with us?" And whilst we've got you here in "The Clearing": "What would you like your legacy to be? How would you most like to be remembered?" With a deliberate invitation to 'go deep'! And where all my guests have at least 2 things in common: They are all Creative individuals - and all with an interesting Story to be told! So yes! "Your Life & Times With Me Chris Grimes!" is the new Storytelling Podcast series from "MojoCoach", Facilitator & Motivational Comedian Chris Grimes - with a strong storytelling imperative and with the simple aim of inviting my guests to a creative space of your choosing called "The Clearing" where we get to hear your Story and let your thinking unfold. With some lovely Storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way: The Clearing itself - a Tree - a lovely juicy Storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1" - some Alchemy - some Gold - a cheeky bit of Shakespeare - and a Cake! So it's all to play for! "Being in 'The Life & Times' with that Chris Grimes is like having a 'Day Spa' for your Brain!" (So saideth Wendy Bagger!) So - let's get listening!
