Dr Ally Jaffee is a young NHS doctor based in London who is just starting her training to become a Psychiatrist. Ally is also a co-founder of Nutritank; a not for profit created to help educate the medical profession about nutrition. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ally during Jamie Smart’s current Clarity Certification Training Programme which we finish in July.

In this conversation Ally and I discuss why she co-founded Nutritank, her own journey through mental illness while studying medicine and the role iHeart played in her recovery. It was a real privilege to get to share time with Ally and hear about her passion for helping others in our under-resourced NHS.

Devon Webster is a lively young man from Massachusetts. We met through an amazing resource called Heartfelt Presence; a free 24 hour Zoom room where people can drop in and find a 3 Principles based coach. I’ve been volunteering my services in there as a host twice a week for the last couple of years.

In this conversation Devon and I share some of the things we have enjoyed about the power of showing up and connecting with other people. It was really interesting to hear Devon’s experience as a guest in the room. It has also been lovely to see how he has flourished over the last couple of years to the point that he’s now applied to be a host in the room and is looking to set up his own groups... watch this space!

Shazia Govindji is a Three Principles based, Professional Wellbeing and Leadership Coach from London. Shazia and I met through being members of the One Thought Alumni and over the last few years have had some really fun and insightful conversations and I wanted to share one of them with you.

In this conversation Shazia and I discuss the power of getting curious and showing up for our clients with a quiet mind, no judgement and no expectations for where the session will go. This can be unnerving for some who want clear direction. However, when their minds settle and they start to look beyond their current understanding and become curious themselves, the needle really starts to move.

Marina Galan is a Three Principles, coach, mentor and trainer from Querétaro in Mexico. Marina is also on the Board of the Three Principles Global Community (3PGC).

In this conversation we discuss a wide range of topics: from creating content and language for the Three Principles for use in the Spanish speaking world; to working in different communities; to supporting Ukrainians and Russians caught up in the current conflict; to the powerful and RE-assuring way that wisdom feels familiar. We even get disturbed by a piece of technology that was listening in…

Neil “Silvie” Silvester was a Lance Corporal of mine in The First Battalion the Royal Green Jackets in 2001 and we have been friends ever since. Silvie’s been a Policeman and worked in a variety of places from pubs to factories and from a shooting school to warehouses. After an accident at work he even took himself back to college to study art.

In this conversation we discuss the journey he’s had with his mental health: from believing there was something missing, something wrong with him; to realising he could hold it all more lightly and let those feelings pass rather than chasing them down. As ever, the most exciting part is him seeing that potential in others and that he can serve people, wherever they are, by listening without judgement.

James Layfield is a serial entrepreneur. He is the founder of two very distinct organisations at the moment but those organisations are linked by a common purpose; helping orphans. Clearfind is an AI tool that scans companies software and finds cost savings: the client retains 70% of the savings, Clearfind takes 15% for it’s fee and the remaining 15% goes to James’ other venture, The Awesomage. This is where the orphans come in…

This conversation looks at the potential for commercially driven organisations to make real tangible differences in the world by looking for win win opportunities. I found this conversation hugely inspiring. Not only for the scale of what The Awesomage’s ambition but also for how private sector organisations could operate and offer real social value in the world.

Nici Butchart is good friend and the Managing Director of Innate Health Research, a non-profit consulting group dedicated to changing the way people think about mental health. They drive collaborative projects that investigate the power of simple, creative mental health solutions.

This conversation points to the fact that, despite our plans, we are actually all winging it in the moment. Those plans have helped get us to the moment of execution, but from that point we are equipped with an amazing, innate resource that enables us to “wing it” successfully. This isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about our ability to deal with what shows up, on or off plan.
