I'm a Life Coach in Exeter. I work with the wisdom of the body to bring about transformative change. Positive psychology, Physical Intelligence and Ecotherapy.

Abusive bosses don't drive performance. They undermine it.

471 studies, 149k people, 36 countries: in aggressive workplaces, we do poorer work, collaborate less, and shirk more. Incivility breaks confidence and breeds resentment.

The best way to get results is to show respect.

So much talk about AI focuses on 'Intelligence'; I'd like to emphasize 'Artificial'.

Very refreshing to hear politicians being honest and open about what goes on. Whatever you think of @michaelgove, this is worth a listen. https://t.co/9eTNNUFd7B

On 12 September 1994, I gave a presentation that would change my life. My presentation led to my PhD on embodied knowing. ‘Sacred Ecology’ has been more widely read than anything I’ve ever written, and it's as relevant now as it was thirty years ago. https://t.co/TlDwxXIhkr

Our thinking has built-in biases, and this is the most comprehensive list I've seen; it's kinda scary! But knowledge is power, and you can adapt your thinking style if you know what to look for. https://t.co/PiU7Q4LMhP

We are all beautiful souls. We simply need to sink into our animal bodies to realize that reality.

[Adrian Harris @ExcelinExeter]

Although we are nature, we’re caught in an optical illusion of disconnection. I do not doubt this illusion will destroy us if we fail to feel our way out of it.

"I start from the position of a kind of radical relationality. You know, we are interdependent. ... we seem to have reverted back to such a conservative notion of boundary and defending discrete boundaries as if they exist". Lisa Blackman on the Embodied Pathways podcast.

@malavision2023 Looking forward to being a guest on your podcast.

This was a lovely event! Great to see such diversity in our wonderful city!

Lovely time spreading the message of #FairTrade at the Respect Festival. Volunteering alongside @ian0martin was a huge pleasure. Also had a warm visit from member pioneer @HelenWivDulvWel ~Iby. Did you know that #Exeter is a fair trade city? @coopuk @DanniMcEwing1 @ExeterCouncil

I trained to be a ‘Physical Intelligence Coach' with Claire Dale. In this interview, Claire highlights how the concept of ‘Physical Intelligence’ can "raise the profile of the body and bring it to our attention".

'In the simplest of terms, embodiment is how we join the world. If you're seeking to be present, you can't reason your way there'. Philip Shepherd on the Embodied Pathways podcast.

There's more to living a good life than striving for happiness. Maybe a psychologically rich life, characterised by lots of interesting and perspective-changing events and experiences, would be more rewarding? https://t.co/VmBESueGWq
