The Gilesy Project
36 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 year ago -This podcast is about, people, their passions and personal development.
I am mildly obsessed with personal development, ever since I started working for Nokia circa 2006 as a product trainer, experiencing being trained, training others and learning about people development I have been fascinated with the idea of personal growth.
This lead to training and coaching in the tech and CrossFit worlds, among these two pivotal parts of my own development, I have a TON of other hobbies and passions, from music, cars, sport and film, to name a few, this pod is my exploration into peoples passions, which I believe often lead to their own personal growth and development.
