In this episode of our silent retreat series, we delve into "Lesson 2: Assumptions" and "Lesson 3: Ego." Join us as we explore the profound impact assumptions and ego can have on our personal and professional lives.

Assumptions can create barriers and lead to misunderstandings, both in the workplace and in our personal relationships. During the silent retreat, Philippa learned how quickly we form assumptions about others based on limited information. These assumptions can keep us stuck in old patterns and prevent us from seeing the true potential in ourselves and others.

Following on from Assumptions, the ego influences how we perceive ourselves and others. A healthy ego allows us to maintain a balanced and robust sense of self, whereas an unhealthy ego can lead to defensiveness, self-doubt, and conflict. By understanding and managing our ego, we can respond to challenges with greater resilience and openness.

By becoming aware of our assumptions and ego, we can start to question them and open up new possibilities. This episode offers practical tips on how to break free from limiting assumptions and how to cultivate a healthy ego for more positive interactions.

Challenge your assumptions, manage your ego, and enhance your leadership skills through mindful awareness and intentional actions.

Our team of 4D coaches and facilitators combine the knowledge, expertise and talents of entrepreneurs, business leaders, psychologists and actors to offer a unique suite of communication, leadership and wellbeing programmes to help you and your organisation choose your impact.

Our approach looks at our development in all 4 of our dimensions: physical, emotional, intellectual and intentional. Taking you from being a 3D Human Doing, to a 4D Human Being.

Instead of blaming another person in a relationship, can we turn the mirror on ourselves in order to uncover what we might be rejecting in ourselves? In this funny and light-hearted podcast, Penelope and Philippa turn the mirror on themselves and lean into triggers their triggers. What might we learn when we see our attitudes and behaviours reflected back at us?

Join Penelope and Philippa, as they humbly and openly discuss the relationships we have with our ‘self'.

Developing and perhaps deepening the relationship you have with your 'self' can be a challenge in today’s non-stop, 24/7, instant gratification society. So in this podcast, Philippa and Penelope talk about the ways we can overcome some of these difficulties in our lives and how we can learn to appreciate the most important relationship in all of our lives: the one we’re having with ourself. 

 

In this episode of the 4D Human Being Podcast, Stephanie Kasen and Katie Churchman are talking about acting “as if.” Acting "as if" doesn't mean you have to be fake or inauthentic. It's about changing your behaviour or language and trusting that the feelings will follow. As long as your motivation is in the right place, and you stay connected to your truth, acting “as if” can help your goals become your reality. Just make sure you're interested in changing yourself on the inside, not simply trying to change other people's perceptions of you. So instead of “fake it until you make it” we like to say, “be it to become it.” Be the thing you want to be, start running before you can walk, and step into a new way of being and experiencing yourself and your life.

In this episode, Penelope Waller, Stephanie Kasen and Katie Churchman talk about the challenges of working remotely and being part of an international team. As facilitators and coaches at 4D Human Being, they regularly find themselves travelling all over the world for work. However, the 4D team also live in different parts of the world as well, with bases in Milan, London, Charlotte and New York. So a couple of weeks ago, when the trio was running a workshop together in New Jersey, they took the opportunity to record a podcast and speak honestly about the challenges and rewards of working from home, travelling for work and staying connected as an international team.

There are many benefits to moving abroad: you may get to embrace new opportunities, perhaps learn a new language and experience the sights, sounds, traditions and flavours of a very different culture. 

However, moving abroad also comes with its challenges.

In April 2018, Etna International asked 500 expats: ‘has your sense of identity changed since living abroad?’, ‘do you like yourself more?’ as well as other questions related to the psychological impact of settling into a new culture. The survey revealed that 35% of expats surveyed said their sense of identity had changed

So, in this episode Katie Churchman and Penelope Waller discuss the challenges, changes and joys that come from moving abroad.

In this episode we’ve got both of the Waller sisters on the show at the same time talking about relationship patterns. As identical twin sisters Philippa and Penelope Waller  know a lot about understanding the self through relationship. And the truth is that whether we or not we are a twins, in a romantic partnership, or on only child, we are always in relationship. And always have been. We are shaped by the relationships we are in because we do not live in a bubble. We exist within two contexts, the environment and our shared culture. Today’s episode consider how the people in our lives and the relational patterns we form with them are constantly shaping who we are and who we will become. To quote Jacob Moreno, one of the 20th century’s foremost advocates of human interaction defined his fellow human beings as the following: “Man is a relational being.”

In this episode Philippa Waller is talking with Anna Melville-James about portfolio identity, or rather the ‘what do you do’ question.

Anna Melville-James has been a travel writer for 20 years, writing and editing on national papers and magazines. She also helped to set up the Daily Mail’s first ever travel website in 2001. These days she is also...a podcaster on women in business, a journalist with particular interest in later life, environmental issues and the English countryside, a copywriter for luxury brands and a professional face painter. Just to make things *really* confusing when she tries to explain what she does for a living. 

The question “What do you do?” has basically become synonymous with “Who are you?”  And it can be helpful way of quickly giving others a snapshot of who we are and what we do. But there’s also a dark side to introducing ourselves with this kind of shorthand: because labels can  lead to stereotypes.
