Do you feel like you’re writing the story of your life? Or… is your pencil a bit blunt – or even lost altogether?
On Pain Points this time we talk about the sticking points to self-development, and how to free yourself to grow and thrive at work.
Jonathan Hancock’s guest is Sid Madge, who’s made a career out of helping people escape the problems of their past, so that they can start taking control of their future. He works in schools, pupil-referral units, and prisons, plus a wide range of business organizations, exploring empowerment through creativity. He also writes the popular “Meee in a Minute” books, designed to give us all quick, practical ways to improve.
In this episode of our podcast, Sid explores why we may feel powerless to improve ourselves at times, and what we can do about it. Find out where we should focus our efforts, what works – and what doesn’t – and how we can make our improvements last in the long run.
Can we really improve our lives in sixty seconds?
NB: This episode contains references to self-harm.
