#14 Cultivating Resilience : 12 tips to Cultivate Resilience

In this podcast I share some of my lived experience to help in the understanding of the topic of resilience. I define resilience here as "Learnings and mental, physical and spiritual fitness, gained from lived experience which helps you adapt, survive and thrive in tough and unexpected situations." I share 12 tips for cultivating resilience: 1. Recognising and accepting that Change is the only constant. Nature is always changing. We are a part of nature. 2. Practice doing hard things. Put yourself in challenging situations during good times. This builds muscle memory for the tough times. 3. Observe and learn from other resilient people. 4. Remember, the resilience that is in your DNA. It is a miracle you are here. You are the face of your tupuna. You come from resilience. 5. Practice going without. 6. Learn from nature. Observe nature. Mimic nature. 7. Rest and recover during the good times. You will need it in the tough times. 8. Understand your emotions. Focus on positive emotions. Learn to shift stuck negative emotions. 9. Build yourself an inner fortress and sanctuary. 10. Nourish your body with good organic food, movement and stretching 11. Spend time reading, listening to, researching and reflecting on...Ancient Wisdom. The ancients might have known a few things we don't! 12. Bridge the gap between knowledge and doing!

Wellbeing in Leadership : Pushing Reset

As a leader in your family, community, small or large businesses, you might  recognise that often, you are putting the needs of others before your own wellbeing. Sometimes the best thing you can do, to serve others, is to take a step back to recharge the mind, body and soul. This podcast explores the importance of taking a step back to recharge from time to time, in order to be an effective leader.  We talk to Aaron, on the last day of his bespoke 12 day Men's Wellbeing Retreat. The Provider Podcast explores Men's Wellbeing, including diet, movement, mindset and spirituality - and our connection to nature. Provider Men's Wellbeing Retreats reconnect men back to the healing power of nature, through an immersion in the landscapes and seascapes of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand - fishing, diving, hunting, cooking, talking, walking, broga, meditation, learning and breathing.  Participants in our retreats find they have positive shifts in mental health, body weight, increased resilience, moving from fixed to positive mindset and opening space in their lives to attract positive opportunities.

Dr Nic Gill : Strength and conditioning coach for the All Blacks

Last night I had a yarn via video link, with one of the many charter clients of mine I consider to be a bloody good man. Dr Nic Gill has had a long tenure with the best team on the planet, the All Blacks , as their strength & conditioning coach. Gilly gives us an insight behind the scenes of the AB's. We also yarn about fuelling your body with the right kai, about managing stress and about how to stay well and resilient in tough times. In addition to working with the AB's Gilly is also an avocado grower, an Ironman, an author, and associate professor of the The University of Waikato and a bloody keen hunter and fisho. Enjoy! (And go the AB's this weekend!)

We’re going to be exploring fishing and its links to wellbeing with none other than Al McGlashan. Welcome Al!
