| 31 Jan 2023 | Learning how to get out of your comfort zone with Deniz Kayadelen | 01:00:40 | |
Phil Rose talks to Deniz Kayadelen about her experiences and thought processes that enable her to push herself out of her comfort zone in both her work and personal life. As two times world champion of Ice swimming Deniz has a message we can all learn from – as a swimmer she excels when it comes to managing her own mind in extreme circumstances. I loved this conversation on many levels. There is so much to learn from journey Deniz has been on. Enjoy the show. (Some of) The main points for listeners: • The more you go out of your comfort zone the bigger your comfort zone becomes • What goes through your mind as you push yourself – it becomes easier and you can fully experience to zone you are in • Accept your own limiting beliefs and deal with them – fear can be your best friend – fear is your teacher • Learning to meditate is a great tool as it helps stabilise your breathing • Accept that discomfort is part of life • Slow down, be in the moment – what do you notice? Am I in joy or fear? • Learn to transform fear to joy and believe you can do it • Making a commitment to do something with someone else helps drive the motivation – and that’s what Deniz did when she committed to swim the English channel • Find the right support team and you can do anything • Learn how Deniz accepted that the cold became her teacher – physically and mentally • Start small… even a short cold shower has benefits!!! • Dreaming helps embed your challenge in your mind • What Deniz learned from her swim from Robben Island to Cape Town! • There’s science behind focussing on what you want – where your thoughts go your energy flows • Deniz’s message to her younger self: Remember you are more powerful; you can do it; you can create your own reality; you should stand up for your yourself! • Body, mind and soul control – it’s all within our reach! • What can you take away that you can use in your life today?

| 05 Apr 2022 | Why the purpose of Patagonia is to “save the home planet”, and how it helps us all grow. What’s your purpose and does it really engage you and your ‘team’? | 00:54:30 | |
In this episode Phil Rose talks with John Rosling, CEO of Contexis about activating your Purpose. We all know what purpose means (don’t we?) but how many business owners have a purpose that fully engages humanity? (Some of) The main points for listeners: • What do we mean by ‘purpose activation’? o Its all about living your purpose actively and authentically • If Purpose is your reason to exist, then you must activate it to make it come alive • The function of purpose in an organisation: something people can aspire to and feel proud of • Ultimately the function of Purpose is to engage and clarify • People are motivated by a feeling of pride and doing meaningful work • How do we measure ‘Purpose’ • Purpose drives commercial performance… and it’s proven… • But you need to have courage and integrity - You can’t just do it to drive profit! • The point of purpose is to engage people internally first… • Dan Pink on employing ‘humans’ – they’re slightly better smelling horses • What is it that a top team has… a mission, an intention with a carefully thought through culture • People need two things fundamentally – to understand what I do matters and feel that I am part of a community • Why measure purpose – to help you know what is and isn’t working! • But what to measure? To understand how are people behaving in the company • Do your people feel the organisation stands for something beyond profit? • You also need to measure the activators in the business: TRUST and OWNERSHIP • Purpose is about a ‘cultural activation process’ • “It is in the gift of businesses to solve societies problems” • (most) business owners want to create a healthier planet… • By engaging people you will increase productivity by 20% and the asset value of the organisation! • The facts speak for themselves… a 1% increase in ‘Purpose’ results in a 0.9% increase in eNPS • … and a 0.8% increase in retention which equates to a 20-30% decrease in staff turnover • Patagonia’s Purpose “we are in business to save the home planet” • How can you look for opportunities to authentically demonstrate your purpose • Courageous, authentic and sustainable – that’s the key • How we can encourage our people to step up • Purpose and perception • Purpose is the fundamental set of beliefs about why we exist • Anthropy – the work of John O’Brien MBE “We have a unique moment in time, to change the national narrative, consider the qualities we live by and build a more equitable, sustainable, successful Britain."

| 07 Dec 2020 | Paul Wilkinson - "Just a Photographer" | 01:01:36 | |
This podcast takes us on a journey to understand the way Paul created his business to build his brand based on a love of photography and an eye for great portrait photographs. He carries the mantra of “think like a business act like an artist” as a way of maintaining his art while building the brand. His intend at the beginning was to build a business that could be sold. He knew that the ‘product’ was him. And that lead to a realisation that in building the business he was the ‘pinchpoint. He realised early on that people weren’t buying into the brand… they were buying into him… as an artist. In building the value of his business most ‘artists’ struggle with building extensions to their brand because the value is in the artist. He has created books (Mastering Portrait Photography - https://amzn.to/2JN7h6S) and, off the back of that a course ‘Mastering Portrait Photography’ (https://masteringportraitphotography.com) that provides training for portrait photographers. He hosts his own podcast ‘Mastering Portrait Photography’ (https://masteringportraitphotography.com/podcasts) – which has grown to be ‘almost bigger than the course’. Purpose is the thing that brings a tear to your eye and fully engages you in every sense in your business. We talk about how to create an amazing experience and how to ‘evoke’ a memory of the time through his photographic talent. Paul knows that people come to him ‘to feel great’. In the same way Raymond Blanc describes himself as ‘just a cook’ Paul, with all his success still says he’s ‘just a photographer’. ------------ The End ------------ Learn More: visit the Ignium https://www.igniumconsult.com/ Email paul@paulwilkinsonphotography.co.uk

| 26 Feb 2025 | No-brainer: the smart shift in USP your business needs to stand out, with Chantal Cornelius | 00:46:07 | |
Is it time to rethink everything you’ve ever learned about the USP (or unique selling point)? What is a USP in business and do they work? How do you know? What’s the alternative? In this episode of Sparks by Ignium, speaker and author Chantal Cornelius explains why she abandoned the concept of USP in business growth long ago. After twenty-five years of achievement in her own marketing company, extensive research, and three books she knows her no-nonsense approach isn’t edgy for the sake of it – it just works. Setting out the secrets for success taken from her recently released book StandOut Strategies, this second conversation* with host Phil Rose outlines:
Tune in to find out which strategy aligns with your company’s culture, purpose, and client base. Discover new ways to understand what clients want and how to serve them because, in that way, everyone wins. By digging in deep and getting to the root of what people struggle with and what they desire, we can show up and deliver using our unique skills and abilities. Is it time you upgraded the USP in your business growth plan to something else? *check out Chantal and Phil’s first podcast foray into marketing success here.
We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. To get our message out there, share this episode with someone you think could benefit from it. Thank you. Chantal Cornelius: Chantal left the corporate world in 2000 to set up Appletree Marketing. It was the second best decision she’s ever made. Since then, she’s filled her time helping hundreds of coaches, consultants, and speakers to grow their businesses. Her marketing advice is straightforward, practical, and down-to-earth. She’s written three books, with the latest, StandOut Strategies, published in October 2024. When she’s not speaking, training, or handing out marketing advice, you’ll find Chantal riding her horse, growing vegetables in her garden, or whizzing down a ski slope— but not all at the same time!

| 21 Dec 2023 | Phil Rose Of Clarity Leadership On The Importance Of Leadership Development, Mindset And Taking Risks In Building Culture | 00:48:40 | |
In this episode of Sparks by Ignium Phil Rose talks to… Phil Rose. Yes, the other Phil Rose is also a coach, author and business leader. I first met Phil while I was running many years back. Phil was, among other things, organising a 10K cross country run at the time. I later learned that we both did similar things, and even ended up working for different clients in the same venue at some point over the last 10 years. Phil Rose, CEO and co-founder of Clarity Leadership, shares his journey from working in tech support at Microsoft to starting his own business focused on leadership and team development. He discusses the company's focus on leadership development programs, team development programs, and executive coaching, and how they have expanded to work with larger organizations In this conversation we cover a range of topics including the importance of mindset and intent in developing great leadership, and the challenges of being a leader. We discuss the qualities of effective leaders who set high standards and demand excellence while maintaining a human touch, and the importance of purpose and passion in leadership and personal fulfilment. Phil discussed the three main challenges that teams face: lack of alignment behind a common goal, team dynamics, and executing a clear strategy. He emphasized the importance of setting a compelling ambition that excites team members and creating a positive team culture that fosters collaboration and trust. He also stressed the need for holding team members accountable for their actions and executing a clear strategy. The conversation highlighted the importance of healthy challenge and debate in the team, but Phil notes that this requires trust and psychological safety to be established first. We discussed the importance of having the courage to have tough conversations and make difficult decisions as a leader. Phil emphasized the need to understand and manage risks, and the correlation between leadership and risk-taking and how this influences decision makers. We know there are no guarantees in any venture (or are there?) and so Phil highlighted the importance of using tools to help predict success and simply “having a go”. He encourages taking risks and learning from the process, as it can lead to enhanced entrepreneurial vision and growth. Throughout the conversation, Phil emphasized the importance of a growth mindset and learning from challenges. He reflected on his experience of struggling with the pandemic and how he reframed it as an opportunity for growth. He noted that many people went through a victim mindset during the pandemic but did not take the next step to pivot their business or change their mindset. Phil's experience highlights the power of a growth mindset and the importance of seeking out new perspectives and opportunities for growth.

| 28 Jan 2025 | Slaying the Dragons of Business and Storytelling with Richard Mulholland | 00:59:34 | |
“Innovation doesn’t happen when you start doing something new, it happens when you stop doing something old.” The human Summary (from the lovely Amanda Fearn): Our second podcast episode of 2025 features Richard Mulholland, author of Here Be Dragons, a deliberately easy-to-digest book on the power of stories to sell, persuade and connect. If one of the things at the top of your list for 2025 is scaling your business by making your messaging hit home, this is a great episode for you. He talks about some of the common storytelling mistakes many of us make and the secrets of putting them right: Is AI there to make our creative output easier or better? ‘Easy is uninteresting,’ he says ‘we need to do something different.’ He takes us through the step-by-step process he uses to upgrade his writing. The two fumbles many business writers make when they’re scaling a business and what he does to lift interest, pace and emotional connection. How many of us switch off rather than switching over. ‘There’s a correlation between hobbies and happiness’ he says, and it enriches our personal and business lives. Why getting the right balance of peanut butter to pill is key in getting your audience to take action (you’ll love this clever metaphor). You’re not the hero of the story you’re telling (sorry about that) – and why this matters. Why the concept of a USP may be letting you down and why it’s time to trade up to a UDS (the ‘d’ of course refers to dragons). You’ll need to listen to the podcast to find out more.
Here’s what our AI said about the show: In this compelling episode of Sparks by Ignium, Phil Rose chats with Richard Mulholland, founder of Missing Link, speaker, and author of Here Be Dragons and Legacide. Richard shares his fresh perspective on using storytelling as a tool for persuasion, business growth, and meaningful connection. From the art of "story selling" to the unique dragons every business must slay, this episode is packed with actionable strategies for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone looking to make a lasting impact.

What is coaching and why do people 'need' coaching. Helen Isacke from the Trusted Coach Directory talks with Phil Rose about the world of coaching. Coaching is about asking questions and being curious for the answers. It's about creating a dialogue to help people increase their self-awareness. People choose to work with a coach typically because they are aware of what coaching is and are ready to do the 'inner' work to progress in their life. In this episode with Helen we start with the question “What is coaching?” and “Why do people choose to work with a coach.” Helen gives her views on the key things people need to look for when selecting a coach to work with including qualifications, supervision and testimonials. 1-2 What is / isn't coaching?

| 26 Nov 2024 | Employee Engagement – the vital role of coaching in this, with Eric Stone | 00:44:36 | |
In the first of two episodes with author and speaker Eric Stone, our host Phil Rose discovers practical answers to the issues many businesses struggle with while scaling up. They draw on Eric’s 26 years with Enterprise Holdings which led him from its infancy to being one of the most decorated Regional VPs in the company’s history.
It’s a value-packed conversation covering:
‘You don’t have to be the smartest guy in the room, you just have to be able to use the room’ Eric says. This sums it up well. Handing over the reins is probably the most harrowing part of taking a business to the next level but Eric’s quiet confidence and human-focused mindset is as reassuring as it is inspiring.

• What if’s cause anxiety and stress, consider a change in mindset to “What is” So what does this mean for us, coming out of Lockdown? • Lots of people have said that this last period has been an opportunity to consider how we might want to change the way we do things, the way we love our lives and balance work, how we work, where we work etc…. many will go back to work with the "expectation" that things will be different / better / or just the possibility of better. • Treating people as adults – empowering them to make their own decisions based on being informed as to the actual situation and realistic options. • How do leaders engage with their followers now to gauge what needs 'fixing'? Dashed expectations are a way of reducing resilience very quickly. A well communicated strategy for change will enable many to be resilient to the conditions they cannot control. • This is super important for leaders - it give them control over the new culture they are trying to create for themselves and their teams. There is an opportunity to break bad habits on a broader organisational level, rather than just on a personal one. This is a chance to push the reset button, but many will return to 'normal' and that normal may be toxic. • Hoping things will change, won’t cut it… leaders need to take responsibility to make change happen. • Then perhaps something on habitual group behaviours and how to change them?

He could either stay with the gang culture that lead him to prison, or change his attitude, realise his purpose and make a different choice. He had to challenge himself and understand the positive impact he could have on others. There’s learnings in there for all of us. Enjoy the show. (Some of) the main points for listeners are: • Why do we excuse work alcoholics who abandon their families? • Lack of hope is why people give up – so it’s our job to find hope • With no purpose you drift • How Andre went from gangster and tough guy running the jail but not in charge of his life • Be honest about who you are and what you are • Dream and go for it – that’s what hope and purpose gives us • Challenge your thinking about how your story helps other people in areas you never considered • What subconscious limitations are you putting on yourself? • It’s your story that motivates people and it comes from presence and recognising your choices and purpose • Remember you get to decide your own ‘rock bottom’ • I’m going to quit smoking on New Years day on Monday… but what’s the difference between today and Monday? What’s special about it? It’s really about you making a decision to quit NOW… and do it • Be careful what you ask for… plan beyond free… what do you want your life to really be like… success • Being 15 is hard wherever you are and whatever you look like • What’s your problem… really? Everyone is going through something… • Your success becomes the thing that traps you • Fix your life to fix your business – people don’t know how to ask for help – asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength • We excuse workaholism… why! • we’re all going through something so remember to ask for help • And also, remember you don’t need to know everything • What 3 bullet points do you want on your tombstone: o For Andre: Harvard Fellow, Honourable Son, Freed people § It’s not about what you have but what you bring to the world so how do you want to act right now to align with those 3 words • Sometimes it’s the people we know who hold us back • You don’t have to be clear to change but you do need to be certain Learn More: visit the Ignium https://www.igniumconsult.com Subscribe for more exclusive content in the Ignium Spark Tank https://www.igniumconsult.com/the-spark-tank Listen to the show: https://sparksbyignium.transistor.fm/episodes Connect with Andre: admin@andrenorman.com https://andrenorman.com/contact/ Learn more at https://andrenorman.com/ Learn more about Scaling Up: https://scalingup.com/

Key points: · If money drives business but the results come about through the actions of people, how do you actively create an environment where people can express their unique talents and do their best work? · ‘Behind every business problem is a human behaviour – problems don’t just happen.’ Find the behavioural issues and you’ve likely found your solution. · What are the Engager and Initiator types, what are their advantages and how does DNA Behavior sit apart from other profiling tools? · Ensuring all bases are covered with different leadership styles can cause friction but it can also give birth to a robust and profitable culture. · Strengths if overplayed become a struggle but by gaining clarity, adapting or learning how to delegate we save our energy to create first-class outcomes. · Where financial behaviour fits into the mix. If two people can look at the same transaction differently what implications does this have for your business growth? This conversation is an intersection of so many themes: personal and business; behaviour and financial; and leadership and cultural. Where each meets is a place for pause, consideration, clarity and possibly redirection – but always at the heart, there is purpose. Main Recording Points for Listeners:

| 10 Mar 2022 | Natural Netwalking with Jackie Jarvis | 00:41:34 | |
This is part three of a three part podcast with Natural Netwalking founder, Jackie Jarvis. We recorded it in January 2022 and now as I listen to it with the War continuing in Ukraine it feels strange reflecting on some of the conversation. We talked about how we can take responsibility for what’s going on around us and I now wonder how true that really if you are in a war zone? I hope you find strength in the conversation and find energy from the words at this time and in the future.

David Marquet – “see yourself doing it” · Where’s the resistance that’s getting in the way of your journey · ‘I create the WHOLE of my reality’ – what does that mean for you? · Intention is a simple way of creating the reality of how I want to be living · With head up we can see the next step on the path – sometimes we just need to keep on walking… · Sometimes we test ourselves even when we think we are at out limits · When you’re alone you have to carry your own pack and rely on yourself … and sometimes that about believing you can do it and taking small steps. · You are capable of more than you thing you are… · We meet the people on our route that we most need to… so be aware of who you talk to… no one on the route owes you or owns you… · Who do you need support from right now?

| 21 Feb 2023 | Why putting systems in your business is good for you AND your business | 00:58:09 | |
Phil Rose talks to Alexis Kingsbury on today’s show about how he created AirManual through a focus on purpose and systems. AirManual helps you run your business smarter, something Alexis and his co founder wanted based on his experiences of failing to do it first time round. As a serial entrepreneur Alexis realised he needed to put systems in place to enable his businesses run without him present each time. When he got ‘busy’ he struggled to find a way through. He then recognised that to scale he needed people and processes. There’s learnings in there for all of us. Enjoy the show. (Some of) The main points for listeners: • When to recognise that you can’t do it all alone… and step away from the mentality of ‘it’s quicker if I do it myself’ • Spidergap, Alexis’s first business, struggled to achieve its targets because of a lack of systems and a episode of bad hires • Learn how to delegate effectively so you can free up your own time • In the beginning a lack of clarity of Purpose and Values impacts the engagement of your team – so get on it early by asking your team to co create those values that drive them • Ask ‘what do you care about?’ • Review your values and purpose with the team frequently and discuss how those values help you operate • Question yourself on how your values and purpose differentiate your business from the competition • ‘Catch people’ doing the value ‘right’ – and identify what that means in terms of behaviours • Airmanual is a tool that helps businesses create and update their processes easily – the goal is to remove stress from the business. Making sure you can take time off knowing the business is running smoothly. It frees up more than 15 hours a week – what’s that worth for you? • Where would you spend your time if you had those 15 hours extra? • Why getting clear about what you care about is so important in helping you scale • Where are you on your journey? Is your business serving your purpose? If not, what do you need to do? • Identify the biggest challenge in your way today and learn how to get round it – which books do you need to read to progress?

| 21 May 2024 | Growing your business AND being present for those you love: David Braithwaite Part 2/2 | 00:36:27 | |
Phil Rose talks to David Braithwaite Part 2: Growing your business AND being present for those you love Key points to listen out for: • How can you be more present for the things that matter in life? Can you do this when you’re growing a business? The answer lies in distinguishing between what’s urgent and what’s important. You can put your phone away on sports day and still be successful. An episode full of moments of reflection, it asks deep questions but in a way that makes so much sense. Why shouldn’t we show up as ourselves in our business? Why shouldn’t we prioritise our health and spend time with the people we love? That’s why we set up business for ourselves in the first place. Own your business rather than it owning you to improve your chances of living a long and happy life. If you’ve enjoyed this episode, do you know someone else who would enjoy it too? And please remember to leave us a comment, a review and subscribe for further episodes. Thank you. * How does one man run four businesses and balance family life? And how can you do the same? About David Most people David speaks to feel guilty that they’re not taking more interest in their personal finances, invariably because they either don’t have the time, or they’re intimidated by the jargon-packed confusing mess and cost. David’s passion is to make financial advice understandable. To explain complex matters in ways that make sense and are relevant. He believes in empowering people through knowledge and giving everyone the service and the skills to be able to approach their finances with confidence. However, his clients always come first. With more than 25 years’ experience in financial planning, from a background in financial services within a stockbroking and banking environment, he uses all this accumulated expertise to serve his clients. He is qualified to diploma level, and holds the qualification in advanced pension planning. He also has other business interests under the Citrus brand which include healthcare, conveyancing and accountancy. Quite simply, he loves what he does.

| 10 Feb 2022 | Leadership is a journey not a destination: it takes time to build Credibility, Competence and Relationships | 00:55:03 | |
Phil Rose talks to Michael Tanner about building leadership so that people genuinely want to follow. From his 28 years experience in both military and corporate roles Michael has seen what it takes to truly lead people – and it’s not about rank, title or authority – it’s about true Servant leadership. Key Points in the Show: • Servant Leadership and the servant coach – the most influential form of leadership • What military leadership teaches us – it’s not about rank, it’s about caring for the people you are leading, to ensure they can succeed • Leadership and followership – and how creating a willingness to follow is key • People do what I ask them to do because they want to vs doing it out of fear • Blood, sweat and tears vs doing it for money – purpose led leadership • Purpose is about a shared goal that needs to be communicated • It’s about togetherness – we’re in their together… • Management and Leadership – and how to measure effectiveness • Management as a Noun – a person place or thing vs leading the people. You can manage inventory, or buildings, but you need to lead your people • Measuring Effectiveness – how is it traditionally measured… you can’t change the score at the end of the game… Attrition is a rear view mirror measure… • The Leadership Equation: Credibility, Competence, Motive and Relationship • The most important is motive… mathematically – and practically – do your team perceive your motive is selfish or self-less? • How will your team score you vs. how you score yourself? • Relationship… is also most important – at a personal level. How well do you know your team members? Really? • Why’s he asking me to do that? … but I have a good relationship with my leader so I can understand it’s important to do this task… • Proximity and Distance… how do you get close, while also maintaining distance from your team? Share what you feel appropriate to generate a deeper relationship • Patrick Lencioni’s ‘5 Dysfunctions of a Team’ and the ‘Personal Histories’ exercise • “The Leadership Challenge” – Credibility is the foundation of success – track record speaks volumes • Competence vs Credibility – how do you build each? • Credibility comes from lots of ‘small wins’ – always do what you say you will do… and that creates a track record (Integrity) • The equation enable leaders to identity where they can improve – relative to self not others • The best… and the worst leaders… title and authority didn’t make them the best… ‘It’s nothing to do with title and position’ • What’s the basis of your competence, i.e. are you a good sales person with a need for management competence and training • What gets measured gets done… • The future of leadership 2022 and beyond: people don’t generally leave bad companies, they leave bad leaders… The rise of servant leadership – that’s the power • Advice for your younger self: Focus on Motive! Are you selfish or self-less? • Express appreciation and give credit – move from about me to about them • What I’ve learned: constantly and consistently build your knowledge: Leadership is a journey not a destination Connect with Michael Tanner: https://www.credibleleaders.com/rookie-leaders-podcast Learn More about Ignium: visit us at https://www.igniumconsult.com Subscribe for more exclusive content in the Ignium Spark Tank https://www.igniumconsult.com/the-spark-tank Listen to the show: https://sparksbyignium.transistor.fm/episodes Books Referenced in this Episode

| 19 Jun 2024 | Why embracing ego is your key to success – and it’s not what you think it is | 00:38:04 | |
Sometimes sorry seems to be the hardest word. How much time and energy could we save if we owned up and apologised more often? We discover that it’s only the right thing to do but it’s the best thing to do if you’re trying to build a team that will expand your business.
Welcome to round two with the ego. This is the second podcast discussion between leadership coach, speaker and author Christie Garcia, and our host, Phil Rose.
They talk about:
If boardroom disjoint and frayed nerves are frustrating your progress, this episode will give you a new perspective on how to build unity, trust and a shared vision – no matter how diverse your team is.
For more context on Christie Garcia’s approach and the three types of ego at play, the first episode available here is a must-listen. Make some time in your diary to come back to it later.
The Sparks by Ignium podcast is all about you, the listener. That’s why we love it when you get involved. So if there’s something you’d like us to cover, please get in touch – and remember to comment, like and subscribe so that we can help as many people as possible. Thank you.

| 30 Sep 2024 | Making the numbers count: a real-life story of purpose-fuelled success with Hugh Massie | 00:38:57 | |
Welcome back to part 2 of the discussion with renowned behavioural finance strategist Hugh Massie. In this episode, we learn more about the man behind DNA Behavior International. Losing your father when you’re a year old might set some people back in life. Instead, Hugh Massie turned his difficult childhood experiences into an international success story – as well as founding an organisation for young men in a similar situation to maximise their potential today. How did he do it? Listen in as a story emerges of how we all can leverage our hardwired behaviours to achieve meaningful outcomes. What’s in store: · What we can learn from Hugh’s journey from chartered accountant to Money Energy Pioneer. · How measuring your success by what you have in the bank could be setting yourself up for failure. · Why being comfortable and genuinely fulfilled aren’t necessarily the same thing. · What’s behind the connection between impacting a billion people and making money. · How to avoid drama but thrive through stress. · A dive into how his childhood affected him and how understanding his Initiator type has allowed him to impact the lives of the fatherless boys he works with today. · Why your hardwiring isn’t an excuse, it’s your superpower (when you learn how to adapt and use it). Finally, Hugh shares his life motto and why it has driven his success so far. We hope you enjoy this episode. As always, please feel free to get in touch or comment if you have something to add and share – you never know who will benefit from listening too. An episode full of moments of reflection, it asks deep questions but in a way that makes so much sense. Why shouldn’t we show up as ourselves in our business? Why shouldn’t we prioritise our health and spend time with the people we love? That’s why we set up business for ourselves in the first place. Own your business rather than it owning you to improve your chances of living a long and happy life.

What do you need to let go of? · How can you travel in life a lot lighter… we need to learn how to do it rather than just being told to do it… how would you make the choice of what to carry? · One of the hardest things in business (often) is letting go and recognising what help we need to move forwards · How is overload showing up for you in your life and business? · Sometimes solitude is helpful to us as we look to move forwards… walking in silence allows us to hear the real thoughts · It’s the space between the notes that creates the music (Wayne Dyer) · How most people make more money by being away from their business · “All the paths have energy…” – how the Camino routes have been a place for physical and spiritual renewal for 1000s of years · The Camino always provides… you just have to trust in it… · The parallel with the Hoffman process – we are all human beings and we are all on our own journey · Jackie’s next book – it’s in her head and waiting to come out “Walk and Grow Rich” – (and it’s not about money it’s about wealth of spirit) · Jackie’s advice to us all – Buy a light rucksack and only carry what you need!

| 20 Jan 2022 | Phil Rose talks to Jackie Jarvis: when you’re in the fog you have a choice about what to reflect on… | 00:35:32 | |
This is part 2 of a 3 part podcast with the walking coach Jackie Jarvis. In this episode Phil Rose talks to Jackie about her experience and learnings again from walking the Camino trails in Spain. We recorded this on January 6th 2022 as a follow up to the previous episodes. We set out to cover 6 keys points, and, as usual, the conversation developed further so there is a follow on conversation which will come out soon. We cover lots of topics that can be applied in your business and in your personal life. This is very much a balance of culture vs commercial and we know that the most ‘successful’ businesses are those that fully engage employees so they come to work with their full energy rather than ‘just for the money’. (Some of) The main points for listeners to listen out for: · How walking alongside someone can develop a better rapport even if we don’t ‘know’ the other person · How growth comes from the space between the ‘noise’ when we make time to reflect · The learnings from keeping a diary on our journey… · How meditation is beneficial for busy business owners… · Remembering why we do anything… and why that’s important · Asking the right questions to find a way forwards as we reflect · When we’re in the ‘fog’ we need to trust the process… · Gratitude helps you gain insight… · … and the fog will lift and allow the light to shine (and the parallel with our thinking) · What’s the thought you want to ‘hear’ and how do you want to be feeling… · What can you do differently to help you take the first step… change your thinking, change your outlook · How lucky are you in life… are you in the lucky camp? · If you keep a journal what are the common messages you read? How do you respond to them? · Chase Money and money runs, chase success money comes… · And how much do you need… want… · What’s your why… focus on your purpose and what’s really important to you… · How are you living your own message? · Take time to stop talking… start with a blank canvas and see what you can create… walking into the fog… and seeing what you can see… · And on to episode 3… Learn More: visit the Ignium https://www.igniumconsult.com Subscribe for more exclusive content in the Ignium Spark Tank https://www.igniumconsult.com/the-spark-tank Listen to the show: https://sparksbyignium.transistor.fm/episodes More about Jackie Jarvis: https://naturalnetwalking.co.uk/about / https://www.walkingbusinesscoach.com/about-jackie-jarvis Connect with Jackie here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackie-jarvis/ Books Referenced in this Episode

| 03 Feb 2022 | Scale your Business and prepare your business for exit | 01:02:40 | |
Darryl Bates-Brownsword is on a mission to build the ‘exit industry’ in the UK. Originating from Australia Darryl has been in the UK since 2005 helping business owners grow the value of their business. He realised that many business owners who wanted to sell their businesses (prior to working with Succession Plus) went through an earn out period that often never came to fruition. This lead DBB to found Succession Plus in the UK based on the model developed by his colleague, Craig West, in Australia. Darryl’s key message is for business owners to ‘LEAVE on their terms’ and this is key to the story… you can spend 3 years working for someone in an earn out or you can spend 3 years preparing your business prior to sale so you can get the ‘most from your life’s work’. There are lots of elements that potentially derail and devalue your business so it’s worth looking at how to increase value ahead of the time you want to sell. If you sell and then end up on an earn out you are effectively working to someone else’s rules. It’s a choice! • Succession Plus started in Australia 2009 • Planning for an exit helps ensure business owners can leave ‘on their terms’ • Often business owners have ‘all their eggs in one basket’ and are therefore reliant on the financial success of the sale… • … but what if you could plan and structure better so that you de risked your future? • Working on the business not in it – we all know that but… don’t need that you need to prepare the business exit in advance so owners can ‘exit on their terms’ • Building a business is a mix of culture AND commercial • Part of the journey is about creating the ‘culture within the business’ – the energy, mood, tone and pulse of the organisation is set by the leadership… are you a bricklayer or a cathedral builder? • The key to value is systemising the business and building a culture with value. • It’s the secret sauce in any business that makes it really valuable – and that’s often the intangible things such as supplier lists, contracts, staff systems, training plans, processes etc • How do you measure the impact of culture… consider how it reduces staff turnover… what’s that worth? • Culture is lead from the top… it’s both the minimum standards and the way we ‘do things round here’ • Purpose + Passion = Profit • Selling based on proposition IP vs product IP… • “How do you like your steak” and how will you feel when you get the ‘sizzle’ • Structure and systems reduce variability which reduces vulnerability • There’s a gap in the market today for exit planning and that’s where succession plus fits in • 10-40% of businesses prepared for sale never actually get sold… so this is about maximising your chances of success • Most businesses that sell impose an ‘earn out’ on the previous owner (of 3 years) so why not spend 3 years ‘up front’ structuring the business so you can sell on your terms! • Finding the missing link you need to increase your chance of exit success • Darryl offers 3 tips for business exit success… and they revolve around planning!

| 04 Jul 2023 | The Power of Dreams in Life, Business… and copywriting! | 00:45:54 | |
In this Podcast Episode Phil Rose and Amanda Fearn discuss the power of dreams and how they can influence our direction in life. They also discuss various topics related to copywriting, coaching, branding, and personal growth. Amanda explains that copywriting involves more than just writing words and that there is a lot of work that goes on before the actual writing, including branding and coaching. They discuss the process of uncovering a client's message and core customer, as well as the importance of vulnerability in copywriting and coaching. They talk about the power of coaching to help people make a transformational shift and the importance of identifying one's own superpower. The conversation also touches on the importance of attraction marketing and human connection in creating a connection with readers. They discuss the power of exceeding readers' expectations and the importance of attracting the right people who want that thing at the time. Amanda emphasizes that readers should be left with something they can use in their life or business including a feeling that inspires them. They discuss the importance of authenticity and human benefit in branding and the need for clients to be authentic and true to themselves in their branding efforts. Phil and Amanda also explore the connection between dreams and writing, drawing inspiration from The BFG by Roald Dahl. They discuss the importance of holding onto dreams and not letting negative thoughts or bad dreams hold us back. They also talk about finding one's purpose and overcoming the fear of change, with Amanda citing Glennon Doyle's book and encouraging people to question their beliefs and have the bravery to try something new.

| 04 Jun 2024 | The power of two: why when we turn monologue into dialogue we double our chances of success. | 00:20:53 | |
In this episode, Phil Rose explores the dynamics of listening to ourselves as much as others. A celebration of the art of the podcast, host Phil Rose invites you, the listener, to join in the conversation. Highlights include: · How you can have your say with ideas for future episodes or questions you’d like answered. (Spotify has a handy participation feature.) · Twenty years as a coach have taught him plenty about team training and change management. What do you do when one member of the team threatens to hold everyone back? · Are you the dissenter in your own room? · How fear of what’s in the gap (or when we feel we’ve missed the mark) can flatten our mood – and how to charge it up again. · When we have a conversation with fearful members of our team or our own fears, we’re able to compassionately and effectively dissolve them. Leaving them to fester won’t help. · How we all need to challenge our mindset sometimes (including coaches). · Why having the right coach will open up dialogues that otherwise may not have occurred. When someone takes the time to ask us the right questions in a safe atmosphere, we’re able to open up to the monologues in our heads. What kind of conversations are you having with yourself right now? Are you throwing too much light on your struggles and misgivings at this time or could you give your achievements and ambition the floor? Listen in and then tell us what you think.

| 09 Jul 2024 | Engaging voices – how to expand your business through strategic speaking | 00:43:55 | |
‘When someone is working for a greater mission, it fuels all of our work.’ In this episode of Sparks by Ignium, Phil Rose talks to strategic speaking expert Blair Bryant Nichols about ensuring our message is heard loud and clear. It’s not just what we say that makes the magic, it’s how we purposefully connect it to our audience. We’re not all public speakers but we are all business owners so we need to get our message out there in a way that makes sense. How else are we going to achieve our aims or drive growth? Whether speaking is part of your business model, a sideline or not even on your radar, this podcast is full of takeaways about authenticity, story and the uplifting power of communication. Key points: · Why speaking isn’t just a vocation, it’s an advocation. Purpose fuels success. · Get over the butterflies by remembering you’re there to give your unique gift to the audience. · The expansive nature of diverse voices – and not just when discussing diversity. · The pitfalls of not rehearsing enough – and being over-scripted. · Why speaking is an effective business tool you might not have thought of. · How to convert from the spoken word to personal connections (and sales). · Be aspirational but seek to close the gap between you and your audience. · Authentic, personal, relatable stories build the strongest connections. · Tips on how to use slides. Hint: don’t read them to your audience. There are times when the pressure is on to speak to everyone in the room – and it doesn’t matter if we’re a keynote speaker at a conference or delivering a pitch to our peers. Then there are the times when we’re reaching out to our ideal clients and feel less than confident about it. So there’s something for everyone here. The Sparks by Ignium podcast is all about you, the listener. That’s why we love it when you get involved. So if there’s something you’d like us to cover, please get in touch – and remember to comment, like and subscribe so that we can help as many people as possible. Thank you. About Blair Strategic speaking expert Blair Bryant Nichols advocates for diverse and purposeful success in the speaking industry. He’s the founder of BBN Creative Management, developing speakers for corporate events, conferences and other opportunities so they can stand up and build engagement with their voices.

| 18 Mar 2025 | From Surgeon to Entrepreneur: Mastering Mindset, Communication & Business Growth with Arturo Almeida | 01:02:20 | |
‘My last coach was not a business coach. She said I can help you become a better person and perhaps that will help your business. Oh boy was she right!’ It's time for an honest question. Could you be the bottleneck in your business success? If so, what can you do about it? Often, when we seek answers about what’s standing in our way, we highlight external factors when what’s needed is a deeper understanding of our internal world. In this episode, Phil Rose spends time with Dr Arturo Almeida – surgeon turned entrepreneur, turned coach/speaker/medical trainer and educator. They share their thoughts on the intrinsic connection between inner and outer development and discuss how personal growth is key to business growth. Follow the conversation as they talk about: · How Arturo survived going broke twice, why it didn’t hold him back and how he used his experiences to nudge him onto a different path. · The power of purpose in directing your steps and why trying to appeal to everyone could be standing in the way of success. · Do you need a consultant or a coach? And why you need to know the difference between the two. · The restorative nature of forgiveness when a business relationship goes wrong. Letting go gives you the freedom to move forward with energy and purpose. · What he discovered about every patient who came to see him, what they were really looking for and how this informs every aspect of his professional life today. · From reframing challenges as signposts to transferring skills from sphere to sphere, how coaching unlocks potential and opens up before-unseen possibilities. · Why a listening ear is a powerful tool in terms of efficiency and performance and why it’s the best thing you can give anyone.
