“You often talk about the talks you give. Is your style accidental, evolving and planned?”This is the first of two listener questions your co-hosts Stuart ‘The Wildman’ Mabbutt and William Mankelow discuss in this episode of The People’s Countryside Environmental Debate Podcast. This question was sent in by Unity in Paddock Wood, Kent, England.From Unity’s question, Stuart and William discuss how, though their talks are planned, with bullet-pointed scripts, they allow THEM to naturally evolve, and are mostly improvised. In particular their talk ‘Wildlife In Everyday Gardens’, which has aspects of audience participation, including them choosing what topics will be covered from a list of 10 challenges.Stuart concludes the discussion around Unity’s question with some sage advice for environmental speakers: Engage your audience, don't lecture down to them. Take your audience with you rather than presenting them the top of your head as you read a script.The second listener question for this episode comes from Kate in Rathlin Island, Northern Ireland. “It’s said that the ghosts of childhood rattle around in adult bodies. I’ve been thinking about this and wondered what you both think. What still rattles in you? We maintain arguments in our adult heads, often with people who don’t exist anymore, or just a memory. How others were when you were a child, in part, is due to their own upbringing, and we all have to try and move on from that. Surrounding ourselves with the people who get the best out of us. I also agree with the statement that life happens through us, not to us. Little is set in stone. We need to avoid jumping to the first response that comes to mind, we have the ability to focus and send our thoughts in directions of our choosing. People's opinions of us are often none of our business, it's their stuff. The pressure they put on us is more about them. We all, if we choose to recognise it, put things on others and criticise on things, that we feel we are weak on ourselves. When we realise things can be more fun, simply by changing nothing apart from how we think, things can just fall into place. I agree we are performing mental gymnastics just to exist, but we do occasionally need an outsider to point out our behaviours and triggers. We really should get therapy before we need it, and realise what we are capable of. We need to live in conscious ways and be self secure. We need to truly listen more and realise what we are trying to teach and advise others about, is again often what we need to learn ourselves”.William sees that our childhood self isn't separate, we still are that child, just an older version. He goes on to reflect on how the lack of guidance in his young life still affects him.Stuart talks of how he grew up in a "very unpleasant family" and how he is constantly motivated by not wanting to be like them.Stuart goes on to compare the human the mind to soil - without constant work, it reverts to its original state. He concludes that therapy comes in many forms, including walking.William philosophises that "Little is set in stone" - the only constant is change. An action: He advises persistence in breaking negative thought patterns, and to be prepared as it might take multiple attempts to break those patterns.Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?
