  • Be The Best Version Of You In 2022 With Jason Todd

    Be The Best Version Of You In 2022 With Jason Todd
    Jan 7 2022

    Human Reboot's first episode of 2022 is with Jason Todd. Jason is passionate about making a difference and committed to Gandhi's vision of being the change you want to see in the world. Despite being without an abundance of qualifications, Jason managed to blaze a trail in the commercial world. Jason helped build a recruitment business that floated on the stock market for 22 million. He went on to establish and sell a further two recruitment consultancies before realising there was more to happiness and success than cash and flash cars and shiny things. In this episode he shares his story of chasing big things but never being very happy, so he looked at his life and focused on what he enjoyed doing. He changed and focused on the simple things. He shares his views on resolutions and goals being something that you're going to commit to definitely something that you can build some passion into or a goal to give up, how to give up your signature moan, destination addiction - by putting off your happiness to a point in the future or musterbation ' I must have X then I'll be happy', and then what three words describe you at your best, to-do lists and to-be lists and seek out positive things.

    ABOUT JASON

    Jason is a Keynote Speaker and Facilitator for a group called the Art of Brilliance. Their work is based around a Doctorate in positive psychology. He gently reminds people about who they are at their best.

  • Jumping Without A Parachute With Jayne Hume

    Jumping Without A Parachute With Jayne Hume
    Dec 23 2021

    This episode is with Jayne Hume who is a business mentor and mindset coach for health and fitness professionals. She helps them to grow impactful and profitable businesses without damaging their own health, family, and relationships. She ran her own women's health clinic for over 12 years and previously had a career in project management and business development.

    Jayne talks about how she is a free-spirited, maverick sort of person yet how structure can set you free and allows you to work in your best energy.

    She started her career in Aerospace project management but around the time she was thinking of having children she came to the decision that it was no longer the right path for her. So many people said "you're throwing it all away" but that didn't feel like the case to Jayne - she 'jumped without a parachute'. as she calls it. She believes sometimes you need to have faith in yourself and to believe that it will work out for you even if the path is different from what you may have originally pictured.

    Jayne sees that parts of life aren't wasted they are just a natural transition into something else, she talks about her more spiritual side, being brave, having real faith and belief and her tips on structure setting you free.

  • From Gambling to Being The Person I Wanted To Be

    From Gambling to Being The Person I Wanted To Be
    Dec 16 2021
    This episode is with Jobe Neal, who helps Coaches, Consultants, and Course Creators to build their marketing system to generate more clients and close more sales. Jobe shares how his definition of success was connected to gambling and becoming a Pro-Poker player, then how he reframed his identity of success into business and how he moved from addiction and a dark time to finding a sense of purpose. KEY LEARNS "Instead of just trying to cut something cold turkey, if you can replace it with something productive. I think that makes more logical sense as well. Like, how much harder is it to just give something up? If you aren't putting something in its place?" "I think a lot of people really focus a lot on the chemical side of addictions and stuff like that. I think that it's probably more important to look at the identity side, like how do you see yourself "So you've got your mindset, your body send your skillset, and most guys really focus more on the mindset and the skillset side of things. And we do tend to ignore the other side of the feeling side of things, which is kind of more important in a way, because how can you actually influence your thoughts without addressing how you feel about those sorts, you know, on a real sustainable long term type of way? Yeah. And then, and that is something that I've noticed a lot of men do ignore, I think, I think that women are a lot better at the body set side of things" "I found it really difficult to reach out for help when I needed it. And it was kind of more that I went more insular. And when I went into learning about things, in hindsight, I do think that there are points when I look back, that I could have reached out to maybe groups or to a coach or mentor earlier, you know, I believe massively in having that support network around you when you're an entrepreneur in business." "Judgement creates a barrier" "it creates shame, automatically shuts us off, because no one wants to feel that way. So the only way to avoid that is to avoid the conversation. Why would you keep feeding someone opportunities to keep making you feel shameful, and I'm not saying to go out and encourage people, but all you really have to do is hold space" "How can it define you in a good way, we can try and avoid all these things. And it's hard. So I suppose you want to define yourself by good events and not define yourself by bad ones. But we're defined by everything in a way, you just have to, like, find a good frame for that, you might not be able to see it right now. Because it's kind of like you're putting your hand to your face, It's not really until you take your hand away, that you can see your whole arm. So I think it's just looking at it with perspective." "I think that for me, it was something that I like to do to make myself feel better. But it was also part of something larger as well. I think with that whole identity thing. I think that it becomes more than just something that you're using to cope with. It's kind of more so falling into a place of comfortability." "For me, it's like, how do I switch off my mind so I can come back and be fresh? So yeah, I find that playing pool, which sort of, for me doesn't feel like a very mind taxing thing? Yeah, yeah, exactly. And some of that, as well, I like to play chess as well, because I can just play without having to think too much. Like if I wanted to do really well, I would focus a lot more. But it's also something that I can just play."There's always something that comes out of a bad situation as well. And I think we've only go so much I learned from the game itself that really applies to life." " I've had some people say that like sales calls are extremely difficult when you first start out, but for me, it wasn't difficult at all, because I'd already sort of been in that like high roller for want of a better phrase world playing with money in a way. So getting on a sales call, it wasn't confronting, because I just looked at it as a game." "Practice makes perfect, and you can't expect to do a new sales call and be good at it straight away. You know, we need to practice these things. So the more you can do the better." "The one that I really like is if you're overthinking, write. If you're underthinking read, and if you just if you're just thinking then do both" RECOMMENDATIONS The Unstoppable Beacon by Anthony Hammocks.

    Why We Need A Whole School Approach To Mental Heath and Wellbeing With David Leech
    Dec 1 2021
    David Leech is a qualified teacher of over twenty years. He worked across the education spectrum in Primary, Secondary, Maintained, and Private sectors in a range of roles from teacher to Headteacher and loved his career. So much so that he became more 'Mr Leech' than 'David'. David shares his story about a period of poor mental health. This episode may be triggering some as we talk about suicidal ideation.

    David shares his reboot story, his tips about gratitude and kindness, and then how he has gone on to change his career to focus his energies on helping individuals and organisations develop strategies to change cultures and approaches towards mental health and wellbeing. He works with schools to help them to develop a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing, ensuring wellbeing is in the DNA of the school so that both teachers and pupils can flourish. He is passionate about 'smashing the stigma' surrounding poor mental health and changing the narrative for those suffering in silence.

  • We All Sit On A Mountain Of Extraordinary Ordinary Everyday Stories

    We All Sit On A Mountain Of Extraordinary Ordinary Everyday Stories
    Nov 10 2021
    This episode is with Rachel Maunder, Rachel works with people who want to learn how to craft their stories for speaking, helping them to find and craft their stories for greater engagement, and ultimately, more business. She believes we all have a story that we all sit on a mountain of extraordinary ordinary everyday stories that illustrate a point that you're wanting to make, they are every bit as valuable as those other bigger stories. She shares how she found her authentic self after comparing herself to her sister for many years and some great tips on how she flourishes in life. KEY LEARNS "I was only four years old. Because literally in those days, you started school in the term in which you were going to turn five, and I'm a June baby. So I started after Easter. So I'd only been there two or three weeks. And I was enjoying it, you know, I was the third of three children. So I was more than ready to go to school when it was my turn. But what happened was, I know this doesn't happen in schools now. But our toilet block at the primary school was out in the playground. So if you needed to go from the classroom, you would have to go out of the building on your own to the loo block and make your way back in. And so after I came out of the loo block, I looked around and there was nobody about; not even the caretaker. And I just thought, 'I could go home. Who's going to stop me'. And off I went. And the point that I tell that story to illustrate is that as a four-year-old seeing an opportunity, I didn't give a single thought to the fact that I had four roads to cross. It was a 10-minute walk from the store to my house with four roads to cross. I didn't even think - Would my mum be at home or not, which she wasn't. I didn't think about how worried people would be or that my class teacher may or may not get into trouble for not keeping a close enough eye on me. I didn't give any of that a thought. And my point was that as we get older, particularly as women, I think we start to put all those blocks in of maybe I shouldn't because I might get run over? Or what would I do if my mum's not at home? So yeah, that's the little story that I tell and I tell loads of little things like that. They're inconsequential." "So it's a long time ago, I was living on the outskirts of London, working for one of the Inner-London Boroughs. I loved my job, was living in my own flat that I had recently bought. I had a very busy social life. So on the surface, everything was absolutely fine. And I was really surprised to wake up on a Monday morning, feeling, I can't get out of bed today. And I'm not somebody that's prone to that kind of feeling at all, it really took me by surprise. And I knew that therefore, it was something a bit different, but I didn't quite understand what it was. And I somehow knew intuitively that it wasn't just a day off that I needed. I needed, maybe a week or whatever. So I phoned the office and spoke to my line manager who happened to be a woman, and I don't know what the rules are now. But at the time, you could self-certify for up to eight days. I think it was and she said, Well, what do you think is wrong? I said, Well, I just feel absolutely exhausted. I don't know what it is, I just can't come in. And she was surprised because as I say, that's not something that people expect from me or that I did either. Then she took her line managers hat off for a moment and said, Rachel, I would just advise you, if you are taking time off for something that is essentially emotional or a mental health issue, that you go and see a doctor so that if anything comes back on this, you have been to a doctor and taken it seriously, which was the furthest thing from my thoughts, to be honest. But I thought okay, well, I better take her advice. So I did luckily for me, I think because I saw it as a tick box exercise really to have been to see the doctor because I thought oh, he's probably going to offer me some antidepressants or something which I absolutely do not need or want to take. But actually, what he said was what are you hoping I can do for you? So I was so taken aback by that I said, Well, I was hoping you might be able to refer me for some counseling, which is what happened. You had to wait a little while to get that counseling appointment. I was living in London at the time and working for the London Borough of Southwark, which is where the Maudsley hospital is so in a sense, it was our local hospital, but that kind of freaked me out a little bit because in the south of England, the Maudsley hospital is one of the major psychiatric units. It's literally across the road from King's College Hospital. So it's a big teaching psychiatric hospital, but it kind of freaked me out that that's where I was going for these counseling sessions. But so I went along, went to my first session, and didn't know what to expect. I had never been for anything like that before and just sat there for a while. And there was ...

  • Do We Want It All Or Do We Just Want The Simple Things? With Vicki Jakes

    Do We Want It All Or Do We Just Want The Simple Things? With Vicki Jakes
    Nov 3 2021
    This episode is with Vicki Jakes. Vicki is an online marketing and website optimisation consultant helping small businesses sell more stuff via their websites. She shares how following her baby getting pneumonia and her having to return to her high powered job a couple of weeks after, she had a reboot moment that she often looks back on as one of the defining moments of her life. She walked away from having it all in search of the simple things in life. Many women will resonate with this episode. There are nuggets, about feminism, how we have been conditioned to want to juggle it all and how precious time is, and lots more tips. 6:49 "It all kind of came together in my early 30s. And I definitely broke down kind of mentally for a little bit. I just couldn't work out what I wanted to do. And I ended up just staying in the same world and getting therapy totally helped me to stay there. But it was one of the best things I ever did actually because I haven't really burnt out again since." "I felt like I wanted to investigate seeing if there was something different out there. So I sort of parted ways with them after six, seven years, and it felt like a real relief, I felt a little bit institutionalised, being at the business so long, even though I could affect a lot of change culturally, it wasn't my business, being away on maternity leave as well, which meant that had felt out of the loop as many women do when they go back to the office. And after that, I never found my groove again, in my career. I went to work for a software company in Brighton, which was fun, you know, but I wasn't as senior as I had been used to being for like six, seven years, you know, I got promoted really young and you know, I'd learned an awful lot and then I kind of lost my gun and my badge if you like for a little bit." 10:00 "I realised I loved, the family life, I really wanted that and I would do anything to create more time and something switched definitely inside of me around that time, and I thought I might try and find another business that I can work at where I could be senior again and help them grow, like I did with the first agency I mentioned, and just do something really amazing again, you know, really, really helped take them somewhere. And I started shopping around kind of doing interviews, didn't realise as I started shopping around that, that I was pregnant with my second daughter." "The other option was just leaving and going to get a job at this other agency. And knowing that I wouldn't have maternity leave, right. And for some reason, for some reason, I went down that path. Because what I wanted to do was short-cut the opportunity to do bigger things, because as soon as I started to have kids, the amount of time that I had just became really obvious, I didn't have time to mess around" So I took a gamble. And I said to the person interviewing me that I'm pregnant, does that make any difference and went for negotiation. And you know, that they were able to offer me a really good package. Not great money, though and again, you know, not compared to the heady heights of London, but I say this as a really entitled, you know, like white person living in Brighton, because I'm sure some people would have appreciated the salary. But again, I had these big ambitions. I thought it's okay. It's a startup vibe, I'll help grow it. And you know, I'd managed to negotiate like, you know, 12 weeks of maternity leave, I thought this would be fine. Right? This will be fine. So what started was the beginning of another burnout. That didn't happen. This was a burnout, that wasn't a burnout." "I went into this mini maternity leave, she was overdue quite a bit. So you know, kicking around for another 10 days after my due date until she came along. And then, you know, just tried to switch off a bit. I thought I couldn't really intensely switch off but it was really unfortunate. When she was seven weeks old she managed to contract pneumonia and it was so severe actually, like (the onset of it) that we got rushed to hospital. She was intubated in the emergency room, and my husband had to be at home with my daughter. It was quite traumatic, like watching, you know, a seven-week-old like being intubated. And then she was transferred in an ambulance over to Southampton and I just sat by her side during my maternity leave until she recovered and it took 11 days for her to recover. And when she opened her eyes after she'd had the tubes taken out, it was just magical, like, just absolutely magical. It was like, "welcome back". "She was 11 weeks old when I went back to work. So I was back to work, husk of a shell of a woman, and clearly tired, right? Because that's what newborn babies do to you. And I got on with it, but I won't lie, grumpy, tired post-pregnant woman" 16:00 "As a woman at the end of maternity leave, you ask, can we afford nursery? How is our life going to change? Yeah, I just remember I was ...
