Episode #170: Today we explore the crucial topic of conflict resolution skills in relationships. In this episode, I reflect on recent experiences where I've observed adults struggling to effectively resolve conflicts, often due to fear and a lack of self-confidence. Through open, honest, and direct communication, we can foster trust and support in our relationships, whether within families, friendships, or professional teams. I share my personal approach to seeing the best in people, highlighting the importance of loyalty and mutual support. By prioritizing understanding and transparency, we can create stronger, more supportive connections. Continuing our conversation, I emphasize the significance of honest and transparent communication in maintaining healthy relationships. We often harbor grievances and speak behind people's backs instead of addressing issues directly, which can hinder harmonious coexistence. While difficult conversations may be uncomfortable, they are essential for productive interactions. I share personal experiences of fostering trust and openness and the necessity of moving on when this is not reciprocated. Confronting issues head-on rather than avoiding them can lead to more genuine and respectful interactions, paving the way for more meaningful connections. Lastly, I discuss how embracing our own success while celebrating the achievements of others can enhance our confidence and shield us from negativity. Conflicts often arise from jealousy and insecurity, but by cultivating unshakable confidence and understanding differing perspectives, we can resolve conflicts more effectively. I encourage listeners to reach out with empathy and a willingness to listen, addressing unresolved issues with loved ones to foster harmony and growth. I wrap up the episode with heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and engagement, inviting you to connect with me on social media and share your valuable feedback.

Learning does not have to cost anything. Through skill exchange, people share their knowledge and gain new abilities in return, like trading yoga for poetry or photography for dance. This process is about more than skills; it is about building connection, trust, and discovery. This model of mutual learning truly satisfies our deep need to grow. / Motivational Monday (15:23).

This week we're joined by Sam Vesty, head coach of the reigning Premiership Rugby champions, Northampton Saints, for a candid look at creative leadership in a data-driven era. Sam explains why numbers matter, but only in service of what players see and feel on the pitch. In “open” sports like rugby, he argues, intuition, context and decision-making under pressure beat dashboards alone.We dig into nurturing talent across Saints' pathway; names like George Furbank, Henry Pollock and Fin Smith, and how to build an environment where players are encouraged to try, err and learn. Skill mistakes are inevitable; effort mistakes are not. The job is to create psychological safety, clarity of roles and constant feedback, while keeping the game expressive, ambitious and fun.Sam opens up his training-week blueprint: Monday's low-load skills and meetings; heavier work midweek; sharp, short sessions to protect freshness; plus hand-eye “play” (foot-tennis, wall passing, tennis-ball catches) that hones hand-eye without taxing legs. We cover recovery and availability as competitive advantages, sleep habits, smarter scheduling, and the club's approach to nutrition - breakfasts, snacks, lunches and individual plans.Finally, we talk where the sport is heading, perhaps towards forwards who can move and handle, more akin to backs, more ambition with ball-in-hand, and a simple team motto that underpins it all: get better and better and better.The ainslie + ainslie Performance People podcast talks to high-performers in the world of sport and beyond, to bring defining moments, hard-earned insights and expert advice to everyday performance.

Many of us have parts of our lives where we want to grow and progress, things we want to do that we haven't done before, and yet, we hesitate and don't move forward because it can be so uncomfortable to do something new, to step into change. I call this the certainty of misery. We're not happy with where we are, but at least it's comfortable, we're certain how our life will be from day to day. If we can courage up and instead learn to step into the misery of uncertainty, we can create in our lives something that matches, and maybe even exceeds, what we dream of.

Title: You'll Never Be Ready - So Stop WaitingHost: Jim FrawleyTheme: “Readiness” is a socially acceptable form of procrastination. Action creates readiness; waiting doesn't.Episode SummaryIf you're waiting until it feels safe, you'll wait forever. In this episode, Jim dismantles the myth of “being ready” and shows why we hide behind planning, perfectionism, and permission-based thinking. Through real-world examples-from founders and athletes to new leaders-he outlines how progress happens in motion. You'll leave with concrete tools: the smallest viable action, the 24-hour rule, the five-minute rule, and a practical way to separate skill prep from courage prep so you can finally move on the goals you keep postponing.Key TakeawaysReadiness is often code for wanting safety. Safety isn't coming; momentum is a choice.Planning can be useful, but over-planning becomes fear disguised as productivity.Action before clarity: reality reveals itself only once you start.Separate skill gaps from courage gaps. Skills are trained; courage is exercised.Use deadlines, the 24-hour rule, and five-minute actions to force movement.Permission-based mindsets from school and work do not map to the chaos of real life or business.If you won't act, stop pretending it's a priority-reclaim the mental bandwidth.Timestamps & Chapters00:00 - Cold open: “You're not waiting to be ready-you're waiting for it to be safe.”02:00 - Readiness as socially acceptable procrastination04:10 - The brain's safety bias and fear of social rejection07:00 - Technical comfort vs. relational leadership: why many stall out10:00 - Why life isn't linear: business plans vs. reality12:30 - Action before clarity: the feedback loop that actually builds readiness15:00 - Three examples: founder, athlete, newly promoted leader19:40 - Practical tools: smallest viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule23:30 - Skill prep vs. courage prep26:00 - Deadlines, consequences, and moving past over-preparation28:30 - Closing challenge: if you won't act, take it off the listPractical Tools MentionedSmallest Viable Action: Identify the tiniest step that moves the goal forward now.24-Hour Rule: If you think of it, take some step within 24 hours.Five-Minute Rule: Do one action that takes less than five minutes toward your biggest goal today.Skill vs. Courage Audit: Write two columns-what skills you must train versus what actions require courage.Hard Deadline: Put a real date on the calendar. Commit publicly.Notable Lines“The plan is useful; planning is indispensable-but the plan won't survive first contact with reality.”“Preparation is good. Overpreparation is fear in disguise.”“Courage cannot be preloaded; it can only be exercised.”“Permission isn't coming. Safety isn't coming. Momentum is.”Listener ChallengeWrite down the one goal you've avoided because you're “not ready.”Do one five-minute action toward it in the next 24 hours.Put a hard deadline on the calendar and tell someone who will hold you to it.Recommended Next StepsCreate a two-column Skill vs. Courage list and schedule specific training or actions.Set a recurring weekly reminder for a five-minute momentum task on your top goal.If you keep deferring a project for 90 days, decide to drop it or finally commit.Primary keywords: illusion of being ready, procrastination, perfectionism, action bias, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, executive coaching, leadership development, productivity, goal settingSecondary keywords: minimum viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule, launch small adjust fast, readiness myth

When you're using your herbal skills to help others – whether you're doing that as a Clinical Herbalist in private practice, volunteering in your community, or even just caring for your own family – it becomes obvious pretty fast that your herbal knowledge is only part of the skillset you need.You also need to creatively adapt what you know, so that it will actually work in that person's life. Since every body is different, different strategies work for different people. Holistic herbalists are never trying to present “one right way” that everyone has to adhere to.Which means that as herbalists, we need to be creative and flexible. We need to match our strategies to each person's life individually – and that creativity can be challenging!That's one of the skills that we teach in our Clinical Skills course. Today's episode is a segment of content on this topic, from that course, which we wanted to share with you. It's self-contained, but it'll also give you a peek into what our course material sounds like.When we talk to a client, we listen to their health goals and priorities. We also form our own understanding of the case, and our own thoughts about what to prioritize – which herbs and interventions to try first. Here's the thing: their priorities are more important than ours! If we discern some fundamental factor they aren't aware of, it's our job to teach them why it's a priority. It's our job to educate and negotiate – not to dictate.Sometimes we'll propose an idea and the client will be uncertain, or will outright reject it. When this happens, it's not helpful to insist they follow our instructions. That's not the relationship we have as herbalists – we're not doctors, giving “orders”. So when the client expresses some resistance, we respect it. That respect may look like offering more information and context, or it may look like going in another direction entirely.The motto for this mindset is: Support the resistance.It's easier said than done – but learning to do it is something we consider essential to the herbalist's skillset.If this episode caught your attention, then our Clinical Skills course is for you! Learn to practice legally, safely, collaboratively, and effectively. Get all your client forms & scheduling systems sorted. Cultivate consultation interview skills, and explore methods for planning personalized protocols. Everything you need to be a top-notch herbalist!Like all our offerings, this self-paced online video course comes with free access to twice-weekly live Q&A sessions with us, lifetime access to current & future course material, open discussion threads integrated in each lesson, an active student community, study guides, quizzes & capstone assignments, and more!If you have a moment, it would help us a lot if you could subscribe, rate, & review our podcast wherever you listen. This helps others find us more easily. Thank you!!Our theme music is “Wings” by Nicolai Heidlas.Support the showYou can find all of our online herbalism courses at online.commonwealthherbs.com!
