  • Summary

  • People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no- one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell and this show is where these stories come to life.

  • How Psychedelics Help with Trauma - Alex Abraham

    How Psychedelics Help with Trauma - Alex Abraham
    May 14 2024

    For this episode, David is joined by Alex Abraham, the author of Trauma and Ecstasy. He is on a mission to share what he's learned about how psychedelics can help with overcoming trauma.

    As a child, Alex was sexually assaulted by an authority figure which traumatised him and led to physical illness. Alex explains how psychedelics, used in a therapeutic setting, opened the door to the feelings and emotions he had been suppressing. Something that is enabling him to work through his trauma in a healing way.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Trauma can cause physical health problems as well as affect you mentally and emotionally.
    • Psychedelics lower the barriers enabling you to fully process the thoughts and feelings you have been hiding or running from.
    • To get a therapeutic outcome with psychedelics, you need a qualified guide. Not using one can cause more damage.
    • Psychedelics are not the answer for anyone. For some, they will have a destabilising effect.
    • Ultimately, self-centeredness comes from trauma.
    • When you work through the hurt you can start letting go of the blame.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It wasn't until I started working through those emotions, that the muscle tension started to get better.’

    ‘My hope is that by shining a light I can help trauma survivors know they are not alone.’

    ‘Psychedelics open the door to these feelings and emotions. It's up to you to work through them in a therapeutic setting later.’

  • CALM 36 - Relationships - What is Radical Candor?

    CALM 36 - Relationships - What is Radical Candor?
    May 9 2024

    In this episode, which is the 36th in David´s CALM leadership series he talks about candour - radical candour and why as a leader it is essential. David starts by asking you to work out the consequences of not being completely honest at home, at work, with your colleagues, family, and friends.

    He explains why ducking the issue because you are afraid to be candid, to be 100% honest, is rarely a good idea. Then, teaches you how to say what you mean and be honest without being nasty.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Understand what the consequences of your choosing not to say what you mean are.
    • Your body language shows people you are being dishonest, and they won´t trust you.
    • You only have to lie to someone once for them to not trust you moving forward.
    • It is possible to be clear, without being nasty.
    • You need to care personally and make it obvious that you feel that way. If you don´t know how to do that, don´t worry it is a skill anyone can learn.
    • Praising someone you don´t like, does not feel like praise to them.
    • Build rapport, before giving feedback.
    • Ruinous empathy means you don´t say anything when you should, which can be even more damaging than obnoxious aggression.
    • Giving empty praise, backhanded compliments and being two-faced about someone is manipulative insincerity.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘This is about being clear and not nasty.’

    ‘Obnoxious aggression is where you challenge somebody directly, but you don't care personally.’

    ‘Caring personally is a cultural thing.’

    ‘The returns can be huge, the time you save is massive.’
