On Todays episode I interviewed my 20 year old daughter Amity about her experience of overcoming insecurity ahead of the curve. We also chat about her thoughts on:

Readiness for change. How to increase it, and why you can’t get away with pretending to be ready.

The power of the clean coaching space to facilitate lasting change.

Accusations, agreements and dealing with daddy issues.

How to discover the defining moments that created insecurity in the first place.

Why gamification may be the only way into the journey of overcoming insecurity for most people.

Why it is easy to underestimate the hard work around rewriting the story and the importance of being prepared for the pressure test.

And, where psychedelics fit in the process and what conditions make them safe.

On this episode, my daughter Amity takes over the podcast and turns the microphone onto me.

For all the new listeners and those just beginning the process of solving their insecurity problem, Amity interviews me on all the basics so you can know exactly where to start.

On today’s episode, I’ve compiled the 10 most useful skills from the life-coaching world.

15 years ago, the life-coaching skillset was a missing technology in my tool kit for helping people grow and change and find effective solutions to their most painful problems. Although I was often privileged enough to be invited into people’s lives to deal with their greatest challenges, in hindsight, my heart was always in the right place, but I definitely lacked the skills and tools to facilitate lasting change.

Maybe you’ll find these skill are a missing technology in your life too.

I’m convinced that life-coaching skills (when used well) can only add value to your life and those around you, even if you have no intention of becoming a full-time professional coach.
