Secrets From a Coach - Debbie Green & Laura Thomson's Podcast

In this third of our Personal Wellness mini-series we are joined by Jim The Coach Guy who shares his tips for restoring life and work boundaries.
Rather than seeing it as a simple life or work, he explores how within each realm there are multiple roles that we play- partner/friend/child/parent. It’s complicated!
He reminds us of the importance of stopping and reflecting to enjoy the moment - and the benefit that has for our wellness. From communicating clear boundaries within a team, to reminding ourselves of the daily disciplines that sit beneath healthy boundaries, sometimes going back to basics is a good place to start when things have tipped out of balance.
He shares ideas for how we can be fully present in the different roles we play in life so that work doesn't take over. Jim uses football as a way to bring these to life in a really easy to apply way. A useful listen for anyone who knows they need to set/reset boundaries or support others to do the same.
You can connect with Jim via LinkedIn Jim The Coach Guy Totczyk (and he’s happy to share a free copy of his planning tool)
