Dealing With Stress - A Question Of Hope? - Carole Spiers

After seeing far too many people dealing with stress, post-trauma and anxiety in a variety of different industries, author and speaker, Carole Spiers, renowned for her wisdom and guidance on building resilience, has made it her mission to reduce stress by promoting a message of hope.

In this week’s show, Carole talks to Paul about the ways in which she hopes to build health and wellbeing, the difference between stress and pressure, and why helping others is more of a calling, than a job.      

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Stress is not good for anyone, although some believe it be a great motivator. The best motivator is pressure, which can be managed.
Now more than ever, the need for collaboration and communication has never been more important. We should be seeking opportunities to do so every single day.
Hope is a vital component. Positivity and optimism are the values we need to hold onto. We need to look for opportunities for learning and growth in every situation.
A healthy workplace culture is one that encourages feedback and innovative thinking, but more importantly, rewards that thinking and input with gratitude and encouragement.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You can thrive on pressure. It gets you up in the morning’

’Not everyone can find that inner strength and resilience in order to manage their daily lives’

‘I connect people with people. We all need to help each other’

’The very simple words are “How can I help you?"'

ABOUT THE HOST

One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules.  You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”

Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.

Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
