The 4D Human Being Podcast: Where Human Beings talk about being well and truly Human...
What if conflict isn't something to avoid, but rather a doorway to creativity and growth? In this episode, Philippa and Penelope Waller challenge us to transform how we view disagreement in our personal and professional lives.Most of us instinctively avoid conflict or approach it as a win-lose battle. We've been conditioned to see tension as destructive rather than potentially creative. What if we viewed it as a refreshing alternative: conflict as the spark that ignites innovation and deeper understanding. Like "the grit in your oyster" that eventually produces a pearl, our most uncomfortable moments often lead to our greatest growth.When working with teams and organisations, Philippa and Penelope explore how conflict signals what needs attention in our relationships and systems. That persistent friction between colleagues? It's rarely about the surface issue – it's the system's way of highlighting deeper needs for recognition, clarity, or fairness. By listening to conflict rather than suppressing it, we access insights that might otherwise remain hidden.Also how can a understanding of the drama triangle (victim-persecutor-rescuer) make us work towards the winner's triangle (creator-challenger-coach). This powerful framework offers concrete roles we can intentionally adopt to transform unproductive tensions into opportunities for collaboration.Ready to stop sweeping tensions under the carpet and instead harness their creative potential?Subscribe to continue exploring how intentional communication can transform your relationships and unlock your potential as a four-dimensional human being.
Conflict is a part of all our lives! And it can be incredibly time-consuming, distracting and difficult for so many of us. Raising anxiety and blocking constructive, collaborative and joyful relationships both at work and at home. In this episode of the 4D podcast Philippa and Penelope look at a whole new way to think about conflict, starting with reframing conflict and changing the word ‘conflict' itself. Plus tools and tips how to step into difference and disagreement in a whole new way… Reducing anxiety and increasing confidence, communication and co-creativity with all your colleagues.

There are so many things in life you can't control. You can't control what happens next week or next year. You can't control global economic markets. You can't control whether your heating breaks or a water pipe bursts. You can't control the weather. You can't control the transport system. You can't control what a colleague, team member or boss says to you. You can't control whether someone is irritated, upset or angry. You can't control what's happened in the past. You can't control what's going to happen in the future. BUT… you can control how you show up in the very next moment. You can choose your impact right now. Whatever situation you're in, whatever challenges you're facing, you can choose how you show up and the impact you make in the very next moment of your life. How wonderful and incredible is that!

Join us in Season 4, Episode 2 of the 4D podcast, where 4D directors Phil and the incredible Matt Beresford dive deep into "The Gap" - a crucial concept in personal and professional growth.
Pen and Phil back discussing our 5th and final key point to being the hero of your own story - Embracing Commitment.Being the hero of our own story means that even through the scary or tough moments, we need to commit to learning new skills, and we need to commit to keeping going, step by step, at the centre of our own lives and choices. Being committed means being focussed on the process, on each step we take. Being truly committed to a new skill, a goal, an ambition, or another person, team or business means we will stay focussed, reliable and loyal in the tough times as well as the good times. Commitment is a force that helps us believe something is possible. A force that can bind us to a project, to other people or to a business.Pen and Phil walk us through both personal and professional scenarios where embracing commitment can appear throughout our lives.ResourcesLearn more on taking control of your story here:https://www.4dhumanbeing.com/how-to-be-the-hero-of-your-own-story/Want to hear about our director Matt Beresford's skill development journey, following his childhood dreams and committing to learning how to play cricket?
