Episode 28
Today is a special episode for me!
My guest, Geoff Hinsley, was my mentor and first coach ever. He helped me through a very difficult time, navigating a toxic work environment, and general overwhelm and feeling stuck. Thanks to our sessions, I became more self-confident and realised that there was much more to my purpose than working in fashion.
It’s actually because of our sessions that I began nurturing the idea to become a coach too.
If Geoff Hinsley had a life-theme, he would say it would be about wonder.
Both in the sense of being in awe of life and surroundings, (the good stuff ,anyway) , and as in the question, ‘I wonder how that works?’ Of course, leading from that, ‘How can I make it work better?’, or ‘Can I invent something that works well?’
All this involves asking a lot of questions, being open with curiosity and if possible, minimal judgement.
As a leader in his engineering company, Geoff approached that in the same way.
Not autocratic, more ‘Let’s find a way’. Again this involved asking questions, in an empowering way.
He found himself being upset with direct and aggressive challenges or environments, sometimes that made him feel sick!
He prefers a more harmonised way, but still achieving well, perhaps better. (Certainly more healthy).
Geoff found out this is a key to creating a good coaching environment! All this lead him to his great preference - working collaboratively - which he found works really well for Highly Sensitive People and others around them.
In this episode, we talk about:
HSPs general working style and how it differs from others
The power of sensitivity in the workplace
Challenges HSPs face in the workplace and how to deal with them
Creating harmony at work
Discipline, structure and creativity
What happens when feminine and masculine energies are atrophied
Balancing the feminine and masculine energy for more creativity and harmony
Supportive structure in business
The challenge of staying in balance
The energy of money
Geoff’s process to balance out masculine and feminine energy within while dealing with a triggering situation, harnessing his feminine energy:
Awareness and self-observation - be courageous
Taking time off to be with yourself and your emotions
Nurture Yourself
Breath
Reframe the situation
Focus on the desired end result
Respond to the situation with grace
