What is the liking gap? Have you ever been in a conversation with a group of people, that went well, But after you start having doubts?
Some people run these conversations like a tape thinking and I wishing they hadn’t said something. Or remembering expressions on people’s faces and being convinced that they have offended them in some way.
In this podcast, we are exploring the liking gap, it is the stories and interpretations that we create in the absence of real feedback.
The standard coaching approach to this issue is to remind the client of something very important.
What other people think of me is none of my business.
It is a phrase gets pushing in personal development I’ve even used it with clients and been on the receiving end of it.
It is so true because what other people think of me, is what goes inside other people’s heads. I have absolutely no control over it. So worrying about it is not going to serve, but that doesn’t stop us worrying about it.
So I was fascinated this week to discover some work by Erica Boothby From the University of Pennsylvania. She and her team did some research in this process, looking at how we perceive that gap between what we think someone is thinking and our interpretation of it.
It is called the liking gap, and there are some simple strategies to reduce how it affects us.

As I am travelling this week there is no time for editing, so thought to take us back to a popular show with Noomi Naton. Back on Sunday with a shortcast.
Our conversation is about discovering inner power but as with all stories, the journey is never a straight line.
On the show, you will discover the power of changing chairs and a helpful question “ How can I be more of me and have a greater impact.”
Noomi Natan was born in Copenhagen, at nineteen, most of her friends were travelling. In Denmark, it is common to take a generous gap year before completing a university education. She was working at a temporary job in advertising and wondered if she could live and work in London.
She could and found a job in a sound studio, before hopping across the pond for a 3-month internship in the US Congress. All of that experience led her back to Copenhagen to complete a degree in journalism, although she had no intention of being a journalist.
Education over she returned to London and secures a great job in commercial conference production for the mobile games industry, which was booming.
She was crazy successful for a while, with money and lifestyle. That was until the pressure, overwork, and perfectionism eroded her ability to function. She was miserable much of the time and cried in the toilet.
The crunch came when she was asked to run a project she did not want. She had to work US hours from a London office and struggled without support.
At this point, a coach friend said to her, “ you know you could speak to a doctor and get signed off from work?”
That was the beginning of moving out of the mobile industry.
Our conversation explores coaching and how that fits with the path towards a good life. We look at success and why it can be a difficult journey, contribution and, of course, the big question, what is it all for?
Finding her Inner Power
Noomi describes herself as a recovered perfectionist and a practical idealist who dreams of a world, which is safe for everyone. What a lovely idea. As you will hear on the show, she took her first coaching call 15 years ago and was instantly hooked.
Since then, she has developed her process and specialises in deeply transformational work and helping clients in a wide range of industries, from the owners of micro-businesses to CEOs of prominent household names.

We live in a world where pleasure is readily available. Although seeking pleasure is a natural human tendency, the constant availability of instant gratification provided by society, businesses, and the media is causing us to become unhappy and unfulfilled.
In our last show, we explored how grit and struggle are the points in life where we experience the most growth. This week, I discovered the work of Dr. Anna Lembke, the Author of the book Dopamine.
Dr Lembke is a clinical psychologist at Stamford University and has been exploring the effect of overstimulation with Dopamine and how the brain will look to bring us back into balance. But when we are awash with stimulants, balance can mean a lack of motivation, sadness and depression.
Her work is on addiction; we all have them: food, drink, and drugs, and now there are new forms of addiction: Binge TV, Games and social media.
Through her work, it is clear that earning our dopamine is the key to real happiness.
We all know this: the win is all the more sweet when there is a struggle. So now I understand why running makes me feel good. And so many of my friends rave about cold water swimming.

It was one of Steves’s dreams to be a teacher of people; it was right up there along with Radio DJ, stand-up comedian, and an author. It has been a journey, but he has achieved them all.
Our conversion is a recovery journey, not from the usual addiction or problems but from self-depreciation. There is power in what we think, believe or say about ourselves. It is the difference between enjoying or enduring this life journey.
My guest this week is Steve Gamlin, who had a wonderful childhood in the northeast of the US, with great parents, family and friends and incredible memories. It was then that he had those life-shaping dreams: the Radio DJ, Stand-up comedian, an author and a teacher.
“I’ve managed to enjoy them all, now I have crashed and burned between them, but the seeds and the ashes one always led to the next.”
He went to college doing four years in business studies, scraping his graduation. It did not work for him; he left with his confidence crushed and no self-esteem, broke and sleeping on his grandfather’s sofa.
The impulse to take action.
A caring friend asked about his radio dreams, which gave him the impulse to act. He borrowed $4000 from his grandfather and did an 8-week broadcasting course, leading to an internship that started a ten-year radio career.
As you will hear, radio is not all it is cracked up to be, but it is not a healthy environment when you are in the public domain and struggling with self-image.
Steve has achieved all of his dreams from his 11-year-old self, although, in his words, he had to burn his life to ashes every time.
Becoming a teacher of people
What you will hear in this conversion is a man with a lovely radio voice who has turned his life around by carefully managing his thinking. Steve optimises his daily routines to create the life he wants to live.
He hosts the motivational Firewood podcast and works with people to create a back-to-basics positivity through visualisation & humour. Steve is the teacher of people he always wanted to be. Helping people build the necessary mindset to identify their goals, feel sound and smell like.

Gratitude and grititude, in life there will always be ups and downs and it’s easy to be grateful for the good bits but how could we learn appreciation for the challenges.
On this show today we look at grititude. Over the last few weeks we’ve been looking at this idea of being grateful and finding places where we can savour moments to create more gratitude.
But the truth is the maximum growth in life come when we are challenged, it arrives when we are pushed to bring out greater resources to find a path through. These are the bits that are painful and not the experience we would choose. But they are the points in life that provide the greatest opportunity for change.
Growth and Resilience
We’re exploring the idea of being grateful for the crap bits and exploring how those parts of your life will lead you towards greater resilience and a greater capacity to deal with whatever’s coming down the line.
Many of our guests on the podcast experience a fall of some kind. Some of them have lost everything in their lives, and they have created something genuinely extraordinary out of that disaster. When asked if they would go back and change anything, they often say no.
That is what we’re talking about. It’s that capacity to recognise those parts of their lives and see them as opportunities for growth. Because as long as we hold fear of the gritty bits, we lose our capacity to change anything. Only when we can truly embrace them do we achieve full resilience and the ability to react or whatever life delivers.

Learning to savour is about looking for those parts of the day worth remembering and paying attention with heightened awareness.
In our last shortcast, we looked at gratitude, the simple act of being thankful for what has passed during the day. In this show, we explore the practice of savouring—a process of heightened awareness where we slow down and give all of our attention to the moment.
The point of savouring is to appreciate moments of magic and wonder that happen during the day. It is about creating opportunities that give us reason to be grateful later.
We are biologically programmed to look for the problems, crises, or threats to our existence. To the point where we will pass by the beauty and wonder of the ordinary.
In this show we explore my experience with savouring and how you could use it to enrich your daily experience.

In part two of my chat with Jeremy Lasman, we discuss the duality of passion and how it can be both bliss and suffering. We can push ourselves to an extreme because of our passion for it.
I have pushed my body because of my commitment to running. During that marathon situation, toward the end, everything was hurting, and my body was screaming that I should stop. But my inner drive, my passion, kept me going.
Jeremy was employee 110 at SpaceX. He was there at the beginning and part of the team that made it happen. Check out part one to hear the whole story
This conversation is a deep dive into Jeremy’s thoughts on how our passion is the source of innovation and creativity.
We cover the duality of passion
How our passion separates us from the impact of AI
The impact of leadership through passion.

Have you considered the power of gratitude?
It is easy to fall into the trap or the spiral we all have stuff going on and it can be hard to see the positive in every situation. However there is always something worthy of our thanks and gratitude.
On this show we are exploring how gratitude can change the mood and lift the soul in any circumstance.
There are many ways to approach a gratitude practice: last thing at night, first thing in the morning or in the moment when something has not turned out well.

The power of community building, our communities are the social glue that holds life together and is so underrated. Only when we cut off, do we notice the gap and then the loss.
The podcast explores why community is essential, what happens when a community is broken, and why it is fundamental to human existence. Community is about the groups of people we identify with and support.
The word community is a word that is used often in business and in politics but what does it mean? In the news, we often hear that that’s that phrase from the business community or the wider community.
Are you consciously community building?
We all make assumptions that we live in a community and yet the description of what that means is actually very loose. Could you put a name or word to yours?
However, take your community access away and see what happens. Covid was a catalyst that both created and destroyed our communities. While it was not possible to meet in person, people stepped up and helped each other with food or shopping. However, that separation from our usual groups took its toll on so many.
Change is Coming
On Friday I was invited to a private viewing of a film set in the Findhorn Foundation. It is a well-established spiritual and ecovillage community. Brexit, Covid and then an arson attack have made the holding organisation insolvent, and huge change is coming. The film explored how difficult the journey has been, and opened the conversation about what is to come. I am on the perimeter of these changes and I am sure I will get to witness the best and the most difficult aspect of community leadership and decision-making as this story unfolds.
But it has made me think about my community and how I need to be more consciously building a network around me.
In this programme, I invite you to look at your circles and groups and how can you make them stronger. As Stephen Covey said we need to make time to sharpen the saw.

Deep leadership is a play on Jon’s history; he was serving officer aboard a nuclear submarine during the cold war. Our podcast is about the transition between services and civic street. But it is also about the application of a leadership style.
My guess on the show today is John Rennie; he runs a successful business manufacturing critical components for electrical utilities. He’s also a podcast host and the author of three books on leadership.
Jon was born to a family in Manchester, New Hampshire, just north of Boston. It is a blue-collar town, and people do not leave. He was born to young parents with equally young grandparents. His Grandfathers had both served in WW2 and talked fondly of military service.
While John was born to a loving family, life was abundant, but funds were limited, and while he father extolled the virtue of getting to college. That opportunity would only be possible with a scholarship.
He was fascinated by engineering and submarines and expressed the idea of becoming a serving officer.
Nobody wants to be an officer on a submarine.
The high school career person was surprised but did his research and found an opportunity. The Navy had a scholarship degree program which led to officer training. He got accepted, did his four years of college, achieved an engineering degree, and entered the Navy as a commissioned officer.
Our conversation is a fascinating insight into the life of a nuclear submarine, but it’s more than that. It’s what John learned from his experience in the military and how we took that out into the business world.
I often hear from people who have served that transitioning between service life and Civic Street is very difficult. Jon did struggle for seven years, but he applied his navy principles to his work, and the rest is history.
He led eight manufacturing businesses for three global companies for 22 years until he started his own business manufacturing company producing critical components for electrical utilities. He has written three books on leadership and hosts the Deep Leadership podcast.
There are many lessons to be learned here. But the biggest challenge we discussed in detail is to start a business does not mean creating a job.

Be a creator. Are you a creator or a consumer? What is the balance in your life between consumption and creation? It is not easy society is all about consumption. At first, it was things, and now it is information.
In this show, we are looking at the balance between what we consume and what we produce and how a little creativity could change your life.
I was chatting about media consumption with my son. Now he is of the digital generation, where his phone constantly provides news, entertainment or background music. He is either programming games or playing them when he is not on the phone. That is his chosen path and career so not just a care free or fruitless pastime.
While conceding there was a lot of consuming, he pointed out that gaming is an interactive, social, and creative activity. Watching him play some of his team games, they do require a full range of interactive skills and a level of creativity.
My point on this show is not the right of wrongs of gaming, but the expression of creativity has a more significant positive effect on our well-being than solo consumption.
I suspect while there is creativity in the gaming world, I feel there is more creativity in the shared experience with his playing companions.
Community and being is groups, I was singing this morning at the Park in Findhorn; there is something so magical when 40 people come together to sing in harmony. The creativity is in the shared sound and the community that it builds is way beyond listing to Spotify.
How can you be a creator?
When was the last time you picked up a pen or some colours and painted or did a drawing? There is something very soothing about creating patterns on a page and then adding some colour. Have you ever wondered why adult colouring books are so popular?
On this show, I mentioned Andrea Nelson’s Art. You can find her here on YouTube
https://www.instagram.com/andrea.nelson.art/
Her little videos are a great inspiration; they are short.

If you want to leave a better world, you need to be a leader. My guest on the podcast is convinced that it is the small business that will change the world. As the leader of an SME, you have the power to make a difference.
This show is the first in a season on leadership, and we are looking at small businesses. What people get wrong and how they should start.
What is interesting about this week’s guest is that he has never held down a job in his life.
When Mark Kanty was seven, his father left a high-level corporate career and bought a marine business. His father was the role model that set him on a path for life. As a child, encouraged by his family, he had numerous little business projects.
Upon completing high school, he went to college and did business studies, and on leaving, was faced with a choice.
“When I graduated, I saw everybody else lining 70 or 80 people deep to get these junior positions at companies, and I said, that’s just not for me.”
He followed the family example and opened his own marine dealership, growing it into over $1 million in a few years, and then lost the lot as the economy turned. He was able to close that business paying all of his debts. We hear about those mistakes.
It was about this time that he had a severe car accident that made him re-evaluate his life choices and consider what was important.
As a leader you can leave a better world
He went on to have numerous businesses and became a business coach at a time when coaching meant teaching football or sorting out your tennis serve.
Mark’s entrepreneurial prowess spans over 40 years, where he’s created, launched, and sold numerous businesses in various industries. As a Business Strategy Coach and Consultant, he transitioned exclusively to online services in 2005 and has been thriving as an expert in the online coaching space ever since.
There are many lessons to be learned here. But the biggest challenge we discussed in detail is to start a business does not mean creating a job.

It is your time to shift, when you put down a marker and decided everything will be different hereafter.
On the show, we explore the idea of the shift through the window of my wife’s ordination as an interfaith minister. Two weeks ago on Saturday in a little theatre in Milton Keynes, 30 plus ordinands were publicly declaring their vows in front of family and friends.
It was a deeply moving ceremony about love and compassion. An opportunity for these people to be recognised and seen for who they are, where they have come from and what they might become.
This was their moment of shift and joy to behold it had the sense of a wedding but different, and words are so limiting when it comes to describing any of it.
Life Is Not Measured By the Number of Breaths We Take,
But By the Moments That Take Our Breath Away. Vicki Corona,
That quote sums it up very well but even that is describing a moment and not saying what the feeling is. Very possibly because words cannot express.
In this show, we explore that event and how to go about finding a shift for yourself. What tools we can use to get to the point of shift and onward to the life that you want.
My Wife is now Reverend Cheryl Harvey and I am delighted for her.

Five pillars of productivity, what if it were possible to be more productive that did not require pushing, rushing and fighting to keep up?
The conversation you are about to hear is taken from the event reasons and results. Recorded between lockdowns in 2020, it was a journey from envisioning to implementing a project.
We returned a few days ago after travelling south and being a tourist for a few weeks. There was the wife’s ordination and a family celebration, meeting new people and connecting with friends.
After loads of conversations, I was left with the feeling that people have great ideas, but the implementation always lets them down. Most of us (including myself because I have been there) will rush into a project and push like hell to get a result. Only to find that success does not follow.
Find Your Productivity Superpower
So what if there was a calmer, more sustainable way of getting things done?
That is where the productivity mentor Louise Miller and five pillars of productivity can help
Louise is the founder of Bettylou a productivity mentoring service, she has a gift for helping people out of overwhelm by helping them create a path way through. Louise is good with chaos and says there nothing is more fulfilling than turning something muddled into something beautifully clear.
In this conversation you’ll discover… the Five pillars of productivity.
- The unexpected first step to productivity greatness
- Your productivity super-power and how to harness it
- How to turn your big idea into inspired action
- Powerful habits to get stuff done with less stress and more ease
The show is 45 minutes and it will leave you with some powerful tools to get control of the chaos.
