Paul and Chris discuss how you can disarm those fears and can soon find that adapting to change become second nature and no where near as scary as you first thought.

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! Failure almost seems to be another F-word! We're unlikely to think happy or positive thoughts when we hear it. A fear of failure can stop us in our tracks, no matter how much we want to do something; and if we've already reached a point of failure it can be easy to wish the whole thing never happened. As Paul jokes, sometimes we just want to sweep it under the rug, hoping others haven't noticed - even trying to convince ourselves that it didn't occur. Yet failure can be one of the best teachers if we let it and start thinking about our mistakes as a learning opportunity rather than just a point of pain. Join us in exploring the fabulous art of failure!

We might label it as laziness or procrastination at those times when we really don't feel like we're making any head-way at all. But what is really going on? It could be that point in the rollercoaster ride where we are faced with a journey that looks entirely up-hill. Are you really being lazy? Could it be that you are just progressing towards your goal REALLY slowly? Have you overlooked what you've actually completed? Or even worse, are you actually moving in the opposite direction (away from what you want)? Join Paul & Sam as they explore how to tell which direction you're facing, whether you're moving or not, and some ways that you can start to measure & track your progress so that you are always clear on the action that is needed.

As we learn, 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!
