organisational change

This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation. 
 
In this episode we explore the nub of the understanding that underpins the foundation of Quality of Mind. We recommend unless you are already familiar with the benefits and implications of the understanding, you have a listen to some of our other podcasts first, otherwise this might sound irrelevant to the business world!  
This is a conversation between Piers Thurston and fellow Quality of Mind programme delivery expert Rena Loizou
We talk about:
How realising that any reality is 'real but never true' is foundational to experience the benefits of Quality of Mind
What do we mean by 'real' and 'true'?
How can we actually explore this in our own experience?
How do we get to see reality as more 'real and not true', and therefore benefit from more resourcefulness, wellbeing and potential?

In this episode Piers chats with fellow coach Helen Amery. They discuss the common, but misunderstood topic of disillusionment. Usually we think it’s terrible to be in a state of confusion or disappointment about life when in fact these times provide the perfect opportunity to discover something new and fresh. If you’re asking these questions - Is this it? Does it have to be this hard? - then this episode is for you.
We talk about:
How we can normalise a low level of satisfaction with life and become 'comfortably numb', before we get more aware of being disillusioned with our lives
What is going on when you aren't feeling connected and loving life?
How your lifestyle and circumstances are never actually causing your disillusionment with life - it just really looks like they are
How we confuse what is a brick and what is jelly.....(jelly & bricks - yes,really!)
How we become limited by our imaginations about what is possible
The illusion of being trapped by our need for a certain lifestyle and money
How, once we understand what’s going on, we see we have infinite possibilities, including staying with the exact life we already have but with a deeper sense of contentment and joy.
