Description
Ladies n' Genmin welcome to another exciting episode of "The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes!And absolutely delighted to be bringing to the "The GLT Clearing" today - for our collective joy and delictation - my oldest and dearest friend: Actor, Drama Teacher, Theatre Practitioner, Clown, Musician - and all round "Versatility Pants!" and thoroughly decent human being - Ged Stephenson!Ged is indeed my oldest friend! We met in 1982 and trained together - as Drama Teachers - at the Central School of Screech & Trauma (!) in a Graduating Year Group called Teacher 86! A joyful and unforgettable formative experience together - which set me very firmly on the path towards who I am - and what I do today - with Ged's and my experiences running in parallel. We shared many an anarchic flat and joyful experiences aplenty together - generally 'titting about' as a pair of precursors to "Ant & Dec" before they were even born!He is a brilliant Director, Teacher, Actor, Musician, Clown - and an inspirer of many and to me in particular...He is also very mischievous - so a potential pain in the arse to interview! But today he was quite well behaved!Enjoy!So - thanks for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"The Podcast series that features "The Clearing": Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!And where all my guests in my Podcast have at least 2 things in common: They are all Creative individuals - and all with an interesting story to be told!With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing! Also think about William Shakespeare - and about "As You Like It" in particular:"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages..."Jaques: Act II Scene VIIAnd as my Guest in the Podcast: Now is your 'moment in the sunshine' to share your story!Who are you? What's your story? And what 'life-lessons-learned-along-the-way' would you like to share with us? And just to get bit "existential on yo ass" too (!) what would you like your legacy to be? How would you most like to be remembered?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?")
