On Influence

Do you experience nagging discontentment, wonder whether this is as good as your life is going to get, or perhaps you even feel like you’re living someone else’s life? In this episode, emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin, and producer and coach Renee Beale, discuss what influence is, how to identify it in your life, and why everyone can benefit from conducting an audit on the influences in their lives, both positive and negative. Along the way Mike offers practical tips to help us cultivate our strengths, discover our long-held desires, and free ourselves so that we operate from a position of peace and vitality. After a decade and a half of regular dialogue in a local café, I, Renee Beale, ex-scientist turned producer and coach, decided to transform coffee with emotional intelligence practitioner Mike Martin into this podcast, to share his unique perspective on the mind and how we can use our curiosity and creativity to gain control and rediscover peace – that’s been so helpful in my own life. If you found this episode insightful, we’d love it if you could share it with others. After all minds can bite and these bite-sized conversations offer remedies.
