Hey Team,

Season three is here, today I introduce the next season which will focus on connection. This is a massive topic and I will be talking to some great guests.

In this episode I talk about some of the relationships in my life, and how we connected as kids, vs how they do it now. The advantages of growing up in a small community, the passage of time, and making lifelong friends along the way.

I had fantastic chat with Carole Pemberton about Resilience in the work place, where Carole talked about how she moved into the resilience space when resilience was really used when talking about systems. We spoke about the narratives we use about ourselves, how one can improve their emotional intelligence, how COVID has influenced a change in our practices and a whole raft of other really interesting topics.

It was great to catch up with Harry, he was my first ever guest on the podcast and it was great we had both started fundraising for different causes.  We are now a year on and we discuss what the craic is now. What life was like in Australia, how he cracked the gig in Canada.  What everyone's support has meant, his aspirations for the challenge, and how he has grown as a person over the last 12 months.  We talk about becoming a TV personality, and how Scrambled Legs originated.   A massive shout out to Sally Hankinson from who has supported Harry by being the supplier for the Scrambled Leg merch range, the support and buzz around the launch has been amazing, as you can guess Sally is very busy fulfilling orders.  

Check out Sally at ScarLetter Designs on facebook. https://www.instagram.com/scarletterdesigns/?hl=en-gb It's a great chat, and I am so glad Harry got in touch.
