Quality of Mind: Realising Exponential Potential.

The simple, surreal, yet life changing nature of it all. An interview with a coaching client

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 Will Innes, who recently undertook a 6 month Quality of Mind 1-1 coaching programme. Will has a background in employer brand, technology, candidate experience and change.  He openly shares his experience of the nature of this change and the benefits it has bought him, his family, and his work.
In this episode we discuss:
What attracted Will to undertake Quality of Mind coaching.
What is different about life and work now.
The deceptively simple yet game changing nature of this understanding. How the substantial benefits emerge from seeminly simple realisations.
How something surreal can turn up so practically.
The wider implications... for everything!  Including how organisations see diversity & inclusion, creativity and trust.  
The sustainable nature of it. How this works at a more upstream level than mindfulness or meditation and therefore mitigates the need for practices like that.

“See the Transformation Unfold” - Part 3 of the ‘Behind the Scenes’ mini-series.

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'
