#228 The Confidence Code: Secrets to Owning Every Room with Susana Serrano Davey https://open.spotify.com/episode/393rj0qXYpByeuWWjgoC5i Confidence is a critical yet often misunderstood element of professional success. In today's competitive business landscape, understanding the nuanced dynamics of self-assurance can be the difference between breakthrough performance and persistent self-doubt. Susana Serrano Davey, a GrowCFO Mentor, emerges as a thought leader challenging conventional wisdom about personal empowerment through her groundbreaking book, "Confidence is Overrated." Her work represents a paradigm shift, moving beyond traditional self-help narratives to offer a more authentic, introspective approach to professional development.At the core of Davey's philosophy is the radical notion that confidence is not a prerequisite for achievement, but rather an organic outcome of genuine self-acceptance and continuous learning. By deconstructing the myth of performative confidence, she introduces innovative frameworks that encourage professionals to embrace vulnerability, take calculated risks, and view personal growth as a non-linear journey. Her methodology, enriched by personal anecdotes and metaphorical insights—ranging from mushroom hunting to unicorn symbolism—provides a refreshing alternative to conventional confidence-building strategies. Through her work, Davey empowers individuals to reframe their understanding of success, emphasizing internal resilience over external validation and demonstrating how true professional transformation emerges from self-compassion and persistent curiosity. Key topics covered: Challenging Traditional Confidence Paradigms Redefines confidence as an internal journey rather than external validation Emphasizes self-acceptance over performative achievement Introduces innovative metaphors like unicorns and mushroom hunting to illustrate personal growth concepts Book Development Insights Leveraged AI tools like ChatGPT for manuscript refinement Incorporated early feedback from zero readers Developed a more mature, professionally structured narrative compared to her first book Personal Growth Strategies Advocates for embracing uncertainty and taking calculated risks Promotes the value of continuous learning and adaptability Shares personal stories demonstrating vulnerability and resilience Technological Integration in Writing Utilized AI as a collaborative writing assistant Maintained human emotional authenticity in storytelling Explored AI's potential and limitations in creative processes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8myIm2OdbA Links Susana Serrano Davey on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps 0:01:14 Initial conversational setup 0:06:36 Book introduction and core concept 0:10:07 Discussion on skill acquisition vs. confidence 0:12:30 Metaphorical exploration of confidence 0:16:13 Personal project discussion (mango farm) 0:20:08 Podcasting journey reflection 0:24:23 Confidence as an end result, not a starting point 0:35:37 Unmasking professional confidence 0:39:07 AI's role in book creation 0:42:33 Closing remarks and future collaboration Find out more about GrowCFO If you enjoyed this podcast, you can subscribe to the GrowCFO Show with your favorite podcast app. The GrowCFO show is listed in the Apple podcast directory, Spotify and many others.

In the latest episode of "Parkinson's and Me," Daniel delves into the use of metaphors to convey his experiences and insights in managing life with Parkinson's disease. He begins by emphasizing the importance of continuing to live meaningfully despite the diagnosis. Daniel introduces four metaphors: "Building an Ark," "Our Second Half," "Taking the Wheel," and "Save Nothing for the Trip Back." These metaphors help him and his listeners understand and remember crucial life lessons. By likening his preparedness to Noah building an ark, Daniel underscores the need for emotional, spiritual, and physical readiness to face the progressive nature of the disease. Daniel also shares personal updates, noting challenges like decreased stamina and medication adjustments. He reflects on a recent scare involving a positive test result, which momentarily shifted his perspective from managing Parkinson's to confronting a potential life-threatening condition. This experience reinforced the importance of resilience and adaptability. Throughout the episode, Daniel encourages listeners to use these metaphors as strategies to navigate their own challenges, fostering a sense of purpose and determination. He concludes by inviting feedback and sharing his contact information, hoping to build a supportive community through shared insights and experiences. Add your experience and suggestions to the conversation in this Parkinson's podcast. If you would like to leave Daniel a voice message and you live in the U.S. call 1-706-873-1656.

In this episode, Shana is in conversation with Kate Manne (philosopher, associate professor at Cornell University and author of Down Girl and Entitled) and Urna Chakrabarty (graduate student at Cornell University) to ask: why is there so much violence against women in South Asia? This is a question discussed by many academics and multilateral agencies and it is a source of daily concern for desi women who navigate everyday life under threat of violence. Contrary to our preconceived notion that crimes against women are random, Kate and Urna provide a very different perspective. They decode the systemic nature of violence against women and draw out the ‘logic of misogyny' which perpetuates sexist, gendered roles through the threat of violence and victim-shaming.    Follow Kate on X @kate_manne.   CREDITS: Host and Creative Director: Shana  This is a Maed in India production Head of Production: Mae Mariyam Thomas Project Manager: Shaun Fanthome Producer: Ruchi Sawardekar, Nikkethana Kamal Sound Editor & Mix Engineer: Kartik Kulkarni, Lakshman Parsuram Visual Design & Social Media: Minal Jadeja, Akshat Agarwal, Shaumik Kanvinde

Help us improve the podcast! Click here to take our listener survey—5 respondents will be randomly selected to receive a signed and personalized copy of Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most.We need the world to understand it. Human embodied experience and material life in the world has a profound effect on our thinking—not just poetry and pop music, but our intellectual reflections, philosophical theories and scientific observations, to the most mundane conversations.Take a closer look at human language and ideas, and we'll find we are deeply embedded, grounded, and built on a foundation of metaphor. That last sentence, for instance, depends on the metaphor KNOWLEDGE is a BUILDING. But navigating this terrain can be treacherous and we can easily get lost (another metaphor: LIFE is a JOURNEY). But to be a tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit, flourishing with vibrant leaves, we can allow our roots to sink down into this reality and bloom and reach upward (YOU are a TREE).Theologian Joy Marie Clarkson joins me and Macie Bridge today for a conversation about metaphor. It's brimming and full of metaphor itself (that one's KNOWLEDGE is a CONTAINER), but it's not too meta.Joy is research associate in theology and literature at King's College London. She's the author of Aggressively Happy: A Realist's Guide to Believing in the Goodness of Life, as well as her most recent You Are a Tree: And Other Metaphors to Nourish Life, Thought, and Prayer. Her writing has also appeared in The Tablet, Christianity Today, and Plough Quarterly. She is the Books and Culture Editor for Plough Quarterly and hosts a podcast called Speaking with Joy.Together we discuss: How we see ourselves as human: Are we trees? Are we machines? The beauty of language and the glory of poetry to reveal intangible or invisible wisdom and experience. Joy explains the hidden negation in metaphors and the dance between subjective convention and objective realities. We revel and play with language and its particularity. We discuss Julian of Norwich on Jesus as the source of motherhood. J.R.R. Tolkien on technology and redemption through trees and dark journeys. And we explore the many metaphors that seem to undergird Christian theological reflection on flourishing life.About Joy ClarksonJoy Marie Clarkson is research associate in theology and literature at King's College London.

Solving any type of problem can be likened to digging a hole. It is laborious work. And as you continue to dig, the uprooting becomes tougher because the problems you deal with are more compacted and nuanced. That said - it's CRUCIAL we remember that it's a great sign that the work is getting harder. It means you're making progress. Don't get discouraged. Take breaks, be proud you have come this far, and don't get too frustrated. You're doing a great job!

Our Agents are back with another Romance in Action mission with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Part 1). We are starting with the 2005 movie that shows Great Truths Hidden Under the Fantastical. On the surface, this is a movie about two married spies flirting by trying to kill each other. Underneath the fantasy, this movie is about the safety of expressing your feelings and true self to your partner. Grab your hidden stash of weapons, it’s about to get dangerous-metaphorically. Don’t blow up your house, Agents. This mission includes a bit of a discussion about the Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV show, but we hold on to those thoughts until Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Part 2) comes to a mission near you soon. Annette Wierstra with Heather Berberet.

Laying down the tracks across the Limburgian landscape and far beyond; the Metaphorical Radio brings together a circus of artists and creatives on the waves tonight exclusively on Student Radio Maastricht.

Metaphorical, metaphorical slap in the face. Learning about something and where we're headed. The ultimate vision of who we really want to be. We strive to be. We're inspired to be. That's where we're going. Something I learned about myself. Bit embarrassing, but hey, ho, that's what we're going to do, and we're going to dive straight in. No introduction about the personal development unplugged podcast No introduction about the personal development unplugged podcast. You know it. And if you don't, I'm sure you'll find out. Okay, have a listen. It's more interesting to listen than my introduction. Okay, have a listen right now. Personal. Personal develop. Personal developer. well, a slap in the face. A slap in the face. There's a title for you, and it wasn't a literal slap in the face, although it did feel like a little bit. It's some metaphorical slap in the face that I got from me. I slapped myself in the face. When you go out to make improvements, you can't not make an. Improvement, can you So let's do first things first, because. We don't always do that, do we? And that's how I found out the hard way. So this is a personal sharing, as it were. I like to share personal stuff. Don't tell anybody about this because it's personal me to you, and it's embarrassing. It's em barassing to me because it shows. And showed me this wasn't the slap in the face, but it could have been. It's not what you know, it's doing what you know that counts. And here's sort, of an example. Way back in February 2019, four years. Ago,and in my notes, I swore, swore to myself, two episodes, hashtag one. Two, three and one, two, four. Wheels and buckets, and they're all about what you want to do with your life. Diffeent buckets for different areas of your life. Wheels, different. They're all the same theme. Every wheel was a different area of my life. So I'm going to have to do another one. I think I'm going to have to do another one on that because put it all together. So embarrassingly, and this. Is the embarrassing part I've been working. On myself, just like you. I don't stop. I know I've got things that I need to change, and we can. And every time we grow, we grow, and there's other things we can add to it. We've got new experiences, new learning, so we can keep making those improvements. And I have made improvements. You see, when you go out to make improvements, you can't not make an. Improvement, can you, really? But you have to look back. You have to look back because you might say to yourself, well, maybe Cloughie, I do try, but I don't notice. The improvements I've made.   And that's why we have to do.   That review, because any changes that you've made are now your new normal.   And your new normal tends to be.   Well, what issues, what issues did I have in that area? And you have to look back and go, oh, yeah, I was a right old so and so doing that type of stuff. But now I've changed. Now you're going to say cloughy, you've told me this before. Yes, I know, and I do repeat. on this podcast. But there's a reason for that repetition. Tony Robbins used to say, repetition is. A mother of skill. And it's a reminder, a re reminder, because we need reminders. It's amazing how many times we hear. Something, but it doesn't go in. And then there's just that one time. When, oh, yeah, I seem to remember that. Yeah. And there's things I want to get. To grip with different areas of me. I want to get to grip with new things now. And that's what happens, because we realize how far we've moved, where we are now and now where we look to the future. What else do I want to do? What can I strive for? Do you get that now? What can I strive for next? Hopefully not too many things, because we get overwhelmed, and that's when we get procrastination. So if you're suffering procrastination or overwhelm, just dial it back a little bit. Dial it back. How many things am I trying to do at Once? Because you can't. I like to think of each area of my life as being a wheel Anyway, back to my story, back to. My wheels and, my spokes. What the hell are you talking about, cloughy? Well, to me, instead of having buckets, different areas of my life. I like to think of each area of my life as being a wheel. Not the old wheel of life that people talk about or used to talk about. They still do, where you would split up a wheel up into different segments, and each segment would be an area. Of your life, and you'd shade in. Where you thought you were up to in your life and then go, well, if that was a wheel and you were riding a car. How bumpy would that be? You got to work on those areas. To pull them all up. But I found that just having one. Area was too big, too vague, which. Is why I said a wheel is an area of my life. But the spokes in between, they're the things that make up the wheel. So you could have a wheel for health, and the spokes might be exercise. Could be diet, could be what you. Et, not when you eat, but things like, supplements. Maybe it's rest, sleep, who knows? That's health. But then there's lots of other things. Relationships and things like that. And I know I have to do this, and I don't like the have. To, and I know I need to do this, and I don't like the word need, and I should do this and I should. It should be. I want to should. There's a should in there already, isn't there? We should all over ourselves. And, I know I really want to do this. And I started again, and I got. This lovely little notebook, and it's all divided. It was bought to me from my son. And I've got little yellow, little yellow pages in between with lots of other pages in between. So I thought, to me, that's it. Every yellow page will be the start of a new wheel, and every page. Will be a spoke within that wheel. And then I just got into it, and then I found myself. I started. Have you ever done this? You start with the best of intentions. And it's not the intention, I would go to, but it's like the best of intentions. I want to do this. It's a good idea. But I tell myself off now because I found myself. I didn't carry on. I didn't keep it going, did bits and pieces. I did the gym. I worked out a, lot of my health work about the exercises, because. That was an easy one. I knew that. So I was writing down stuff I knew and the sort of stuff I was doing, but because of that, it wasn't that motivational. I wasn't motivated to carry on with the hard stuff. And then I just didn't do it. And then I got the biggest slap in the face. Just like that. I thought to myself, I'm doing all this stuff towards a bloody. What? Cloughie. What are you doing? What is this towards? What are you trying to do? I've got all the wheels. Got all the spokes. Well, I haven't got the spokes. I got the wheels, but I didn't. Bother to get the spokes, but, I'm now questioning, are they the right ones? Well, they're not wrong, but could I do better ones? And even that didn't sort of, sort. Of get me motivated. And then there it was again. Another slap in the face. I was metaphorically pretty dazed by then. You see what happened? It suddenly got to me, this big aha moment. You dick, Cloughie, you're dope. Not good dope, but dopey. Old dopey. Dopey Cloughie. You have to have the ultimate vision that you've got in the moment I reminded myself, I've been talking about ultimate visions. The best version of yourself, the best version of us, me, you. And can you imagine it? Well, I could. Not quite in the detail I wanted to at the moment, but I've talked. About it so much about him. It's all in your imagination. And by the way, ultimate vision is never going to be ultimate because it's. Going to keep evolving, you're going to find ways to keep improving, but you have to have the ultimate vision that you've got in the moment. And I did one of these a long time ago. I did a lovely ultimate vision in. My early days of NLP, I wrote out my ultimate vision and it was beautifully typed. I put it in a lovely font, I put it on a six by. Four card and it was lovely. And it was load of balls, really. Well, it wasn't then. It was what I was going to aspire to. But when I look at it, or when I looked at it again not too long ago, I thought to myself, I've changed so much, so much of those words now. are they nice words? But they're no longer appropriate to me. They don't fit. I need to move on. Well, I have moved on and I need to move this ultimate vision and. I started to think about it. First things first. What's the intention of having wheels, spokes, buckets, whatever you want to improve this personal development. The intention is to be the best. Version of yourself, isn't it? So it's a big picture? The big picture, the most best version. The real me, the best real me I can think of. That's my intention. That's where I'm going. And everything else now will fit inside that. Paul: I wanted to know who I want to aspire to be First things first. So before thinking of the sections, I. Wanted to know who I want to aspire to be. To what end as well. What would happen if I, you know, what, that ultimate vision of myself, what would that pull do? be Because it's the ultimate vision of me. So what did I do? I started to see myself doing my little visualization, but then I was doing it writing down, because you know what I say, you got to write that sucker down. So in that book, I found a. Blank page before for all the other. Stuff I've done, and I wrote down everything I could about that me, I. Aspire to be to, or I aspire to be that ultimate vision, that best version of myself. I wrote everything I could. What would the beliefs, that ultimate vision, that ultimate me, the best version of me have? And they weren't the beliefs I have. Now, but there are the beliefs. I know that if I had them, well, it would be amazing. What about the values? The values that ultimate vision of me would hold himself to? And I wrote those down. And the good thing, well, to me. I felt good about that because they. Were the same values that I have in me now. It's all about being trust, honesty. But then a new one popped in. Loyalty. yeah, they come together. And then I started to think, well. When that ultimate version of me, that. Best version of me is living a life with these wonderful, powerful beliefs about my identity, who I believed I was with, the wonderful values, the things that were really important to me, that me out there, what emotions would I experience more of, what behaviors would I do. The high level behaviors that, I would hold myself to, and, what would those behaviors begin to attract or do? And there was things like being non.   Judgmental, because I'm a little bit judgmental sometimes, you. But being open minded, being kind, looking deeper. and I went on and on, and it made me quite emotional to write it, to think, where is this all coming from?   And then I realized it's coming from me, cloughy, it's inside you. So if it's inside you to write. Down, you know, you can aspire to be there because you've got those skills. All you have to do is start. How do you do that? How do you start to use them? I didn't finish that sentence off, but I jumped in. You can start to think of, well, what would happen if I acted as. If I was the ultimate vision. Yeah, I probably won't get it all. I know I won't, but I'll get a lot further, lot nearer if I act as if. And now when I think about it, and I just think of how I would act, how that ultimate vision of. Me would be, I can now visualize. It so much more. I can visualize me, cloughy Paul out there. And then I can start to say. Well, what would the wheels the sections of my life, the content and whatever. What would be the real special, specific. Wheels that make up that ultimate vision? Me. And then the spokes that are part. Of that ultimate vision. And you see, now I've got that. Can you tell my voice has changed? I've just noticed my voice has changed because I'm more motivated to start working on it. Really looking at those wheels and the spokes.   So that's what I'm going to do. Maybe I said about another, I think this is going to have to be another pod as well. So another pod, another episode. That's, if you're interested, of how we. Can really get that ultimate vision in. Our heads, I think I've given you. A good idea, but if you wanted. A bit more help with maybe like a little process to do that, a little visualization in an episode, we could do that. And then how we can take that into wheels, spokes, buckets, whatever you like. And the whole thing about this is it's bloody simple. And to do it, all you need to do is those simple steps, the simple steps that I'm taking. And it is an. And it's exciting. It's exciting. Now let me know. Let me know if that's of interest. To you and we'll do another episode. I'd love to know what your thoughts are about this. Is it inspiring or has it inspired you? I'm not an inspiring speaker, but does it inspire you? A little bit. And, just as a re reminder, my meta view of this one, just looking down on everything I'd been talking about or thinking about and writing about. Paul Clough: Think about what your intention is when thinking about personal developmen First things first. Before we start, set your blood. Think about what your intention is. No, I thought my intention was to work out the bits and pieces. No, my first intention was, where am I headed?   What do I expect? What am I looking for? Now? You might say, oh, maybe I. Missed out all these years, all these. Months, all these days, but it's never. Too late because we're always evolving and. You have to, so we're always starting over. So I wonder how curious you couldbe about that and doing what, you. Know, actually doing and not just knowing what, you know, doing what, you know, the mastery of you bringing back that intention. There you go. There you go. I hope there's a few golden. Gold. Yeah, Goldie golden nuggets out there for you. And you feel inspired to give yourself a metaphorical slap in the face. Oh, dough. As homer from the Simpsons would say, and start to think about personal development. Where am I going what is my ultimate vision of me? Who do I aspire to be? Yeah. And if you could share this with other people, that'd be awesome. I always like you to share. It would be great if you do. Because if everyone just gets that little glimmer of moving towards your ultimate vision, it's what we're put on this, I believe, put on this little old planet earth to do, to be it's growth, evolving and creating new things as we do it. And everyone gets a benefit. So if you could share this, that would be awesome. Press that subscribe follow button, all that, all that stuff I say.

Anyway, until the next time, my friend. This has been fun. I enjoyed this. So let's have a good one and fly. Oh, and also have more fun than you can. You are now leaving the uncloved mind of Paul Clough. It's time to fly on your own. Be brave, my friends. Personal development unplugged.  

What are you allergic to? I don't mean physically. I mean emotionally, intellectually, or in any other way. Experts will often tout one way of doing something as being better than others, but they don't take into account everyone's preferences or metaphorical allergies.   For you to create a deeply satisfying life, it's your job to become aware of what you are allergic to and then decide how you want to handle it. In this episode, I help you see what your own metaphorical allergies are, your options for handling them, and show you why taking these steps to become more aware will allow you to live a more juicy, fulfilling life.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.korilinn.com/172

Contemporary forms of psychotherapy are, soulless— psychological and spiritual problems require a transcendent solution, as Montgomery nicely documents. No citation of Freud, Jung, or Albert Schweitzer in his flawed diagnosis of Jesus will never be the same as quoting Holy Scripture. Dr. Montgomery' s latest book is a fresh movement of the Spirit of God to a lost and dying world without Christ. The answer: Put Christianity back into the discussion of what is genuine treatment, and Montgomery' s newest book wonderfully points us in that direction. +++ 2024 Here We Still Stand Regional Conference Tickets are on sale for the 2024 Here We Still Stand Regional Conference in Northwest Arkansas!
