This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being in any business or organisation.
In this episode Piers chats with Stephen Desborough. Stephen worked as a financial trader in the City of London, and recognised the significance of the role of the mind in performance. He then discovered this game changing new understanding of the mind, that changed everything. He is now an experienced coach and facilitator of the understanding we call the principles behind Quality of Mind.
In this episode we discuss:
Stephen's own story of how he found this previously 'invisible' understanding, and how it is now his sole focus with clients.
The simplicity of it - demystifying flow state.
The benefits of slowing down on the inside, to get more done on the outside.
Difference between believing and ‘seeing’.
How to learn this, compared to learning other things.
What is the downside? Nothing to lose….no risk….

In this mini series we have the rare opportunity to get an insider's view of someone starting to see the unfolding of their realisations of the principles of Quality of Mind.
Helen Amery, herself already a successful coach in more conventional approaches, has kindly agreed to share her experiences as she embarks on a 1-1 Quality of Mind coaching programme with Piers.
This is a 3 part mini-series. Part 1 before the coaching started, Part 2, after 4 weeks one during, and now Part 3 after the programme.
In this 3rd part, we are couple of months after we finished the coaching programme, and we discuss:
What has developed further since our interview in part 2, how is this understanding impacting Helen's work and life
How Helen's initial relief that her life is more 'buoyant' (part 2) has reduced, because now there is less 'down' to come back from
How her understanding and grounding in this has become embodied, obvious and in her 'DNA'
How Helen has now dropped her twice daily mediation habit
How surprisingly effortless it has been to make the transition to working with clients from this understanding
How we might benefit, but our thinking stops us, from leaving our illusory comfort zone to explore something new and take a 'risk'

The missing piece of the puzzle for business consultants. An interview with Rich Habets
This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being in any business or organisation.
In this episode Piers chats with Rich Habets. Rich has many years experience as a conventional business change consultant in large organisations, and has now found out what makes change really work, and therefore now solely focuses on enabling this understanding of the mind to facilitate business transformation.
In this episode we discuss:
How Rich realised that all the things conventional business consultants are doing to enable progress and change are missing the vital piece of understanding about how the human mind operates, and therefore not enabling full and effective benefit realisation,
Why is it that this understanding is not mainstream, and 'hard to see until you see it',
Rich shares an example of how one realisation saved an organisation $m,
The difference between 'knowing' something and insight-fully realising it,
