Many of us are trying to find our way, or our direction. Many of us want to make a difference, many of us want to make an impact, many of us want to feel like we are contributing. Well, in this episode you will hear from a man who in mind is doing all of these things.

You will hear my conversation with Gus Worland, who I could describe as a presenter, radio host, a broadcaster on the Triple M radio station in Australia. I could say he is the Founder of the Mental Fitness Foundation Gotcha4life, but these are all titles, and as you will hear in this conversation, Gus is so much more than that.

I really enjoyed this conversation and I took a lot from it so I hope you do too. The whole point of these conversations is to share thought provoking stories and to realise that we all have something to offer others. That when we truly connect, we can make a massive impact, even if sometimes it doesn’t always feel like it, or we don’t realise it. This is not about comparisons, it really is about connections.

So thanks again to Gus Worland for sharing his time, his stories and his perspective on things. I recommend that you check out his new podcast “Not an Overnight Success” and go and take a look at the Gotcha4Life foundation at gotcha4life.org and see the remarkable work they are doing there.  

I also want to say a big thanks to you for taking the time to listen to some infinite pie thinking and my one ask is that if you know of anyone who would benefit from this episode, then hit the share button and send It to them.

Charlie Sampson is an Executive Coach, Co-Founder of several other leadership and development businesses, author of the business book 'Even Better If' and as you will hear, so much more. Charlie shares his thoughts and perspective on Leadership, Management, Coaching and Communication and  where they overlap and where they differ. We explore how the lessons from his own background and experience, coupled with all his research and the working with others, has helped him to shape his passion and enthusiasm for supporting others to make an impact.

I loved our conversation around the value of being interested in others and their views, and the ability to explore and understand it, and about the importance of staying curious. Of course there was also the discussion around the quality of your questions;  how coaching and leadership is ultimately about communication; how you should look to work with people holistically as they are more than just their job title; about the power of responsibility and ownership and how that will make you stand apart; and how it is not about using time as an excuse, but learning how to use it effectively and to invest it wisely by having the right conversations at the right times. So a big thanks to Charlie Sampson for sharing his perspective on coaching with curiosity.
