A Conversation with John Kenny

John Kenny, the relationship guy and author of ‘The People Program How to Overcome Your Blocks to Success’ talks with Nick about why the most important relationship you have is with yourself and how with awareness and self-reflection you can understand why you respond in the way you do Take the time to analyse the experiences you have and understand why you responded in a particular way because at any moment we are only asking ourselves what does this mean and what am I going to do about it? but it’s these life events that ultimately shape us     KEY TAKEAWAYS The most important relationship you have is with yourself and if you attract a certain sort of person to you this is because of how you are projecting yourself If you don’t take up opportunities, procrastinate and don’t believe in yourself it’s likely you don’t have a good relationship with yourself You are only able to be judged by others in the way you judge yourself Awareness is key and self-reflection is important to help you understand why you do things Understand the meaning of your life events to you and your emotional response to them and what’s stopping you from moving forward You develop your sense of ‘you’ in your first seven years of life Personal beliefs and patterns of behaviour are established very early on in life and can only be changed when you recognise them Imposter syndrome is when you are good at something but don’t recognise it in yourself You need to understand how to manage your limitations in a positive way Understanding what you want from a particular situation is crucial At any moment we are only asking ourselves – what does this mean and what am I going to do about it?   BEST MOMENTS ‘You have to be comfortable with yourself and who you are’ ‘If you don’t give something a meaning then it doesn’t matter’ ‘As human beings, we all have very different needs’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Empire Builders Podcast  www.johnkennycoaching.com/bookgiveaway     ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.  Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires. Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage. Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
