You're Not Wrong and You're Not Right

Managing any sort of change can be challenging in an organisation. If the last year has shown us anything, it's that businesses can adapt pretty quickly to change when they need to. However, our new challenge is even more important (yet easily overlooked): How do we properly adapt to the *slow* relaxation of the effects of the pandemic? And more importantly, how do we bring our staff members along so that everybody supports the change taking place?   Those are the questions in today's podcast. Listen to find out more.

It's easy to want to force your opinion on others in order to get them to align to your own point of view. Perhaps you're trying to change another person's behaviour or maybe you're trying to get them to change their mind about something. In any case, forcing your opinion on them is likely to have the opposite effect to what you want them to do. In this podcast episode, I'll discuss the problems with this approach and how we can more effectively begin to communicate our thoughts and ideas more effectively. https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk (c) 2021 Hill Coaching Company

When Jack Reeve and Chris Reeve sat down to record the first episode of Talk Norwich City, they had no idea how big it would become. In fact, in those fledgling days, they couldn't be sure *anyone* would want to listen to what they had to say.   Several seasons later, having amassed a following that only others could dream of achieving, Talk Norwich City is a household name amongst supporters. In this podcast episode, I am going to outline the actions that Jack and Chris took to make their dream a reality. And you can follow in their steps to make your dream a reality too.

In this episode, I unite two of my passions - coaching and Norwich City Football Club. Now, before you gasp in horror at listening to a podcast about football, let me assure you that there is method in my madness here. I want to draw your attention to one specific individual - NCFC Sporting Director, Stuart Webber. This person has demonstrated excellent leadership and I believe we can learn a lot about how he leads an organisation - through the good times and the bad. Webber stands up for what he believes in, he stands up for his colleagues too, he doesn't make knee-jerk reactions and he sticks to his values and his principles. These are all values that we can relate to and by making a concerted effort to learn from someone like Stuart Webber, we can all become better leaders for our teams and for our staff.

In my previous podcast episode, I spoke about the techniques which have helped me to develop a love of reading. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, make sure you queue it up after this one - it's not to be missed.   However, techniques only go so far and you need to be reading books (and surrounding yourself with people) that are truly inspirational and have a positive impact on your life. I firmly believe a good book *can* change your life. So in this podcast episode, I am going to reveal four authors that have had a profound effect on how I approach my business and my personal life. These thinkers have altered my outlook on the world and shifted my perspective - helping me to gain new insights and explore alternative paths. And, as a Brucie Bonus, I'll also reveal three books that have had a similar effect on a few of my clients. These books can have a huge impact on you too, so sit back and enjoy.

This is a fact: A good book has the power to change your life. But if you hate reading (or never have the time to pick up a good book) where do you begin? If you struggle to absorb the information or find it hard to implement the knowledge you're learning, how do you read more effectively? Before I started reading regularly (and that was not that long ago), I thought I hated reading. Seriously, the idea of picking up a book used to bore me to tears. It wasn't until I developed new techniques to maximise the effectiveness of my reading that I started to see the sheer benefit of learning from the people who have come before me. The game changed that day and I have been sharing my secrets with my clients ever since. In this second episode of my podcast series, I am going to reveal that technique so you can use it too. https://www.hillcoachingcompany.co.uk © 2021 Hill Coaching Company / Oliver Hill

When we agreed for my Grandfather to move in with us, I anticipated that we would probably encounter some issues. After all, that's expected when an elderly family member begins living with you - isn't it?    Little did I realise quite how much stress and trauma my family would find ourselves under as time progressed and my Grandfather's health began to deteriorate.    In this episode, I'd like to shine a light on all of the clues that I missed. I also want to ask you an important question: Are you blinded by excessive stress and don't even know it?
