Paul and Sam / Failure	0:13:48	64kbps	44100	6.41 MB
SPECIAL EDITION! Previously unreleased, Paul and Sam have finally decided to share one of the earliest ActionPodcast recordings on a topic close to their hearts! Nearly a year on, it remains really relevant whilst being a 'blast from the past' back to our humble beginnings! A fear of failure can stop us in our tracks, no matter how much we want to do something. Failure almost seems to be another F-word! keywords:

Paul and Gina / Gratitude	0:14:36	64kbps	44100	6.77 MB
Just before our most recent podcast, Paul and I spoke together about the power of simply being in the moment. Of literally smelling the roses, coffee and whatever else turns you on. Of just looking around at all the things in our lives that we were thankful for. It stopped me dead in my tracks. Even more so when I tried an exercise he'd done himself to reinforce and connect with gratitude. When he described it to me, I can honestly say I had a moment of epiphany. It seemed so simple, yet so incredibly powerful, so I'd like to share it with you now: Just take a sheet of A4 paper, and write the word 'thank you' over and over again... until a name comes up. Then keep writing again, 'thank you' over and over. Until more names come up. Like me, you'll probably be quite surprised at the names on the list. You may find other words arise, not just names. That's perfectly okay. Whatever messages you receive from your subconscious are very powerful, so own them all. keywords:

Paul and Sam / Resurfacing	0:16:29	64kbps	44100	7.63 MB
How many times have you had a great idea that you were excited about at the time, but have totally forgotten about a while later? Often these ideas keep coming back up (and may keep being forgotten about!), and can haunt you with the sense that you've not done anything about them. Paul and Sam discuss some tools and techniques to not only help you capture these lost ideas, but to solve some of the challenges of how to take action on them, letting them 'percolate', whether the timing is right, and how to start uncovering some creative solutions. Likewise, there are those ideas that we keep avoiding or things that really need to be done that seem to get harder and heavier the longer we resist taking action on them! keywords:

Paul and Sam / Right Tools	0:12:26	64kbps	44100	5.78 MB
Whether you are tackling a DIY job around the house, completing a work project, running a business or even enjoying a leisure activity, it could pay to give some thought to having the right tools for the task. Some 'tools' may require an investment up front, but having the right ones could save you a lot of time, hassle and money, giving you a better quality result with greater efficiency, and may even be the difference between you loving and hating what you are doing. Paul and Sam discuss some of their DIY learnings, and explore other areas that this insight can be applied to - from serious tasks to fun ones! Afterall, would you try writing an essay with a lipstick? ;) keywords:

Paul and Sam / Financial Awareness	0:15:34	64kbps	44100	7.21 MB

Paul and Gina / Time out	0:16:25	64kbps	44100	7.6 MB
Ever get the feeling that you seem to be putting a lot of effort in but don't really seem to be getting the results out? Maybe you just need a break, some time out to relax and allow yourself to have some fun. Paul and Gina talk about how being too focused on one thing can actually be counter productive and a simple break can result in some refreshing ideas and results that just pure hard work can cause you to over look. keywords:

Paul and Gina / Preparation	0:12:55	64kbps	44100	6 MB
Do you have a big event coming up? Have you spent more time worrying about it than actually planning for it? Paul and Gina talk about two real life examples where client have come to them with some major event that was looming up on them. They discuss how to work through the planning process and dealing with the situation when things don't quite go to plan. keywords:

Paul and Gina / Intuition	0:14:06	64kbps	44100	6.49 MB
Paul and Gina discuss the fine art of accessing and using your intuition. Do you often have a gut feeling to do something, a calling perhaps? Do you follow it through with action, or just ignore it? Using your intuition as a way to finding solutions to current issues can bring greater meaning and clarity to your life. Simply ask yourself: "What do I love?" and you will hear your intuition speak. It's a simple as that! Your intuition speaks the truth. Follow your intuition, instead of your rational mind, and you'll be much happier. keywords:

Paul and Gina / Holiday	0:15:51	64kbps	44100	7.29 MB

Paul and Chris / Worry	0:19:03	64kbps	44100	8.76 MB
At times we all find ourselves in a state of worry. It can be a very debilitating state and really impact our well-being and prevent us from getting the results we want. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this podcast, Chris and Paul discuss how to simply break the cycle of worry in any situation and find a better approach. After listening to the podcast and trying the suggestions, please leave a comment and let us know how it worked for you. We'd love to hear from you! keywords:

Paul and Sam / Giving Advice	0:19:02	64kbps	44100	8.8 MB
Whether you are giving it or on the receiving end, Advice can be a double edged sword. Be careful where you point that thing! Sometimes the best advise is none at all. Check or state up front what you would like to make it easier for the other person to support you in the way that you want them to. keywords:

Paul and Sam / Laziness	0:16:33	64kbps	44100	7.67 MB
Are you really being lazy? Or are you just progressing towards your goal REALLY slowly? Or even worse are you actually moving in the opposite direction? keywords:

Paul and Steph / Steph	0:11:30	64kbps	44100	5.36 MB
On this show I talk to someone very special indeed! One of our listeners has agreed to take a huge step outside her comfort zone and speak with me about the podcast, personal development and her own experience. keywords:

Paul and Sam / A Look in the mirror	0:14:34	64kbps	44100	6.76 MB
"It takes one to know one" is a phrase that often gets used by children when name-calling starts! Yet, despite it's derogatory use as a rejoinder - there is a lot of wisdom present. Think of someone you really admire, and which character traits of their's shine through. Sometimes it is much easier to believe something unpleasant about ourselves, than to acknowledge and accept that those traits we really admire in another person are part of us too. When we think of each relationship as a mirror for ourselves, there is a lot of worthiness there to love - if/when we accept it. (Likewise, when someone is really annoying us - chances are we are doing that 'annoying thing' in some way too!) keywords:

Paul and Sam / unconsciously incompetent	0:17:03	64kbps	44100	7.9 MB
The 3rd episode in their impromptu series on life's ups and downs, follows the progress of Sam & Paul's journeys through boiling point (1st) and swinging between extremes (2nd). Ignorance is not bliss. In fact, it tends to make life hell. As we learn, we are likely to move through 4 stages of competence - rarely jumping from Unconscious Incompetence (ignorance!) directly to Unconscious Competence (mastery!). Along the way, we pass through Conscious Incompetence (aware but struggling), and hopefully into Conscious Competence (aware and succeeding). Join Paul and Sam as they explore how their actions (no matter how imperfect/perfect, small/large) move them through the challenge of overwhelm and unresourcefulness, and into more aware states of learning, choice and empowerment; where things aren't all rosy but are a darn sight less ugly! keywords:

Chris Janzen / SamChris HearingListening 4 May	0:16:58	16kbps0	44100	19.43 MB
How does it feel when you are speaking to someone and it seems like your words are passing through the air between you, going in one of their ears, and out their other ear almost simultaneously? There is nothing much more frustrating than that! "I'm not being listened to! They aren't hearing me! Why am I so misunderstood?" Having to constantly repeat ourselves is not the only option! Join Chris and Sam as they explore the differences between hearing and listening, how it affects our communication when we feel like we aren't being listened to, and what we can start doing to improve the ef keywords:

Sam and Wyn / Fake it	0:13:51	64kbps	44100	6.43 MB
Join Sam and our latest Guest Podcaster Wyn Morgan - Executive Coach & Facilitator - as they discuss how one well-timed and well-chosen question can open up doors of options, energy and immediate action to get us through those times we just want to avoid! We all have days and/or moments where we: * don't feel confident enough * feel too fat/boring/unattractive * don't have the energy for it * have committed to something but don't really want to do it Sometimes we can 'force' ourselves into action, and at other times we give in to the resistance and indulge our desire to avoid whatever it is. keywords:

Paul and Sam / Rollercoster ride	0:17:12	64kbps	44100	7.96 MB
This is the high-energy follow-up to the previous podcast 'Blindsided by Anger?' Sometimes it feels like we're swinging from one extreme to the other - one moment careening towards a crash, and a moment later, struggling up the mountain without a clear view of when (or if) we'll reach the top. Life can feel like a rollercoaster ride of heady peaks and stomach-churning troughs, and whilst we would all be terribly bored if it was just a flat track to the horizon... wouldn't it be great if we could learn to balance out those pendulum-swings just a little? Even-it-up a bit so that it flowed more smoothly, and we could actually start to enjoy the ride? keywords:

Paul and Sam / Blindsided by Anger	0:15:48	64kbps	44100	7.33 MB
It can be hard enough to talk about or express positive feelings like love and gratitude, let alone harsher or more 'negative' feelings like anger, frustration and hurt. Do you bottle them up? Do you cry them out? If you've ever felt blindsided by strong emotions that you couldn't express, then there is a good chance they have been lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportunity to jump out when your guard is down. Paul and Sam talk about how their own frustrations reached boiling points recently, and that in the process of trying to understand what they were feeling, they discovered what was hidden in the causal blind-spots that then allowed them to acknowledge and release their pent-up emotions! keywords:
