Summary: Shan is in conversation with Giles Croft, a psychology graduate and former NHS surgeon who stepped aside from clinical practice for a decade to explore a number of career paths, including health informatics, cycling journalism, public speaking and high street retail with his wife. He is now back in the healing profession, tackling the root cause of stress and its many harmful effects by leading clients to a better understanding of the human experience. When we have a better understanding of where our experiences come from, including stress, then we are able to listen to the inner intuitive voice and look in the right direction. This is a fascinating insight into the human experience and understanding that you just need to take one in-perfect step to change everything. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we start really listening to the quiet voice of intuition and honouring it that’s when we get that sense of ‘shackles off’ We are creative beings and when we let life live us and gently go in the direction we choose then we achieve our true selves. My coaching is completely structureless it’s about being completely present with the other person. We all do have exactly what we need within us, the role of the coach is to help the person find the space to find themselves If you want to hear the intuitive voice you have to quieten the chat. It’s vital to achieve stillness of the mind. Our minds are as homeostatic as the rest of our body we always come back into balance and the only thing that keeps us stuck is ourselves, tinkering around and trying to fix our thinking when it fixes itself with the right environment. A situation can not inherently hold meaning it is our perception. The data goes in via our senses and then our own unique subjective perception is created Look for what is variable and look for what is true, all of experience is variable because all we are ever experiencing is our perception and our perception is variable. The answers we are looking for all lie within; we just need to start looking in the direction. BEST MOMENTS ‘You need to get out of your head and ask the questions’ ‘If you point yourself in a particular direction and start moving then the opportunities will appear’ ‘The constant is the intuitive voice and the deep drivers’ - wisdom, creativity, common sense and love these can be relied on.
