Today Angela and John are in conversation with Anne Alvares - one of the School of Human Kind faculty.

Anne is a coach and counsellor who specialises in healthy parenting and supporting young people. Her wisdom, drawing on her own background and on her experience as a mother of two boys, is rich and illuminating.

The three of us talk about why creating and maintaining healthy relationships is so hard - and strategies for making it less so.

You can connect with Anne via our website: www.schoolofhumankind.com

John and Angela talk about dealing with big stuff and small stuff

Is there a difference?

One approach is to 'not sweat the small stuff (and it's all small stuff)'. That sounds fine, except it's not how most of us actually experience day-to-day life.

Sometimes 'stuff' feels overwhelming. Even small things can feel like they're about to crush us.

Then, also, sometimes we face something huge and seem to be able to take it in our stride....

What's going on?

Angela and John get a cup of tea and explore that question.

You're invited to do the same.

Today we tackle the big one: 'Presence'. It's the heart of personal development and business success, of rich relationship and personal empowerment. It's essential to mental health and a powerful statement of personal power in an age of distraction.

But what is it?

Angela places presence at the heart of her work on 'Relaxed Productivity'.

John spent 30 years training performers (and others) to be more fully present with themselves and each other.

So listen in as we give some practical and real-world insights into what it is to be right at the heart of your own life's experience.
