    110: ThinkWORKS 110 You Don't Become Better You Catch Up!

    What if you’re not stuck… just catching up?This episode explores identity lag and how real change settles over time—if you don’t interrupt it.Join in the discussion at Join in the discussion at https://revolutionradio.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/community/channels/ThinkWORKS----Recent.-6aJNXw/posts/69f334335b39191fc1d0ccc6

    109: ThinkWORKS 109 The Vision Thing!

    This week, we look at 'the vision thing'- why having a vision IS important in business AND life, and WHY so many visions aren't worth the paper they are written on.Join in the discussion at https://revolutionradio.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/community/channels/ThinkWORKS----Recent.-6aJNXw/posts/69ee7bd7f5d56f842fe9c6f0

    108: ThinkWORKS 108 Why Identity Lag Almost Cost Me My Book.

    You’d think finishing a book would be the hard part.For me, it wasn’t.Publishing it was.In this episode, I talk about the moment I nearly stalled You 2.0—and the idea of identity lag that came out of it.That gap between what you’ve done… and who you feel ready to be.It’s something I now see everywhere—and it’s where a lot of progress quietly gets stuck.Join in the discussion HERE!

    107: ThinkWORKS 107 Motivation Isn't Enough To Cope with Identity Lag

    Why does motivation fade — even when you start strong? In this episode of ThinkWORKS, we explore identity lag — the gap between who you are and who you’re trying to become, and why lasting change often breaks down.If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, discipline, or building better habits, this episode reframes the problem — and shows why motivation alone isn’t enough.Because real change doesn’t come from pushing harder… it comes from aligning your behaviour with an identity that can sustain it.

    106: ThinkWORKS 106 Identity Lag

    Why does change feel fake at first?Have you ever tried to improve something in your life…Started doing the right things… showing up differently……and still felt like you were just pretending?Like it’s not really you yet?That uncomfortable gap between: who you’ve been and how you’re now acting 👉 That’s what I’ve been exploring this week in ThinkWORKS — something I call Identity Lag.Join in the discussion HERE!

    105: ThinkWORKS 105 Adventures in Comics 4: The Greatest Heroes No One Remembers- The Age of Pulp

    The Shadow. Doc Savage. Sexton Blake. Sherlock Holmes. The Avenger. The Domino Lady. The Phantom.They sold millions of copies, and were the Netflix of their era, and yet very few people know about them or understand just how important they were for every superhero that followed.This is the first part of our discussion on pulp comics, as Darren Smithson & Chris Dingsdale discuss the action heroes and why they are so important.(Part Two will follow later in the year and discuss the sword & sandal tales (Tarzan, Conan, Solomon Kane etc), and the scientific heroes (Flash Gordon, John Carter, Buck Rogers etc).Join in the discussion HERE.

    104: ThinkWORKS 104 Up The Workers!

     Not every workplace problem starts at the top. Sometimes the biggest barrier to progress is how we choose to respond to change. In this episode, we explore the difference between constructive challenge and destructive resistance — and ask a simple question: Are you helping the system… or holding it back?

    103: ThinkWORKS 103 The Power of Phrases We Repeat.

    The phrases we repeat to ourselves shape far more of our lives than we realise.In this episode of ThinkWORKS, Darren explores the hidden power of habitual language — the words and phrases we quietly repeat in moments of challenge, doubt, or decision. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and everyday experience, he explains why these mental scripts influence our motivation, resilience, and perception of failure.This isn’t about simplistic “positive thinking.” It’s about understanding how our brains internalise repeated language and how we can consciously replace limiting phrases with ones that reinforce learning, growth, and perspective.From the idea that “I never fail so long as I learn” to practical ways of identifying and changing negative self-talk, this episode offers a powerful reminder that the stories we tell ourselves can either trap us — or set us free.Join in the discussion at Community

    101: ThinkWORKS 101 Why Work-Life Balance Must Be More Than Lip Service.

     Technology promised us freedom. Instead, it blurred the line between work and life. In Episode 101 of ThinkWORKS, I examine the cost of constant interruption, the illusion of urgency, and the small behavioural shifts that can dramatically improve both productivity and wellbeing. Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/de771046-95b3-4e66-94e4-a0c526451ef6

    100: ThinkWORKS 100 What Hasn't Changed.

    Episode 100 — What Hasn’t ChangedOne hundred episodes in, it’s tempting to talk about progress.Instead, this episode asks a quieter question:What hasn’t changed?Over time, projects evolve. Language sharpens. Confidence grows. But underneath all of it, certain questions remain constant. The work of thinking carefully. The tension between perfection and progress. The discipline of building deliberately rather than reacting quickly.This episode isn’t a celebration. It’s a reflection.On why I still do this. On what continues to matter. On the difference between movement and meaning.If you’ve been listening for a while, this is a moment of consolidation. If you’re new, it’s a good place to begin.Because sometimes the most important progress isn’t in what’s new — it’s in what endures.Come and join me in https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/060de405-74dd-4ea6-b929-d072b8d3afb8

    98: ThinkWORKS 98 Labelling The Point!

    In this episode of ThinkWORKS, Darren explores Chapter 9 of You 2.0: Build Yourself Better — Labelling the Point — and why the words we use matter far more than we realise.From internal self-talk to leadership communication, Darren examines how language quietly programmes behaviour, shapes culture, and influences decision-making. The episode looks at how careless labels create resistance and misunderstanding, while intentional language can build clarity, trust, and momentum — in both personal and professional life.A reflective and practical exploration of why changing your words can be the first step to changing outcomes.Buy my book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better' in both Kindle and Paperback versions from Amazon or your favourite stores.Join the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/f56ade9c-1f10-478d-bb91-28f30af0f340

    97: ThinkWORKS 97 Why Walking The Talk Is Good For You!

    You don’t lose credibility because people disagree with you. You lose it when you don’t use what you promote.In this week’s ThinkWORKS podcast, I unpack why walking the talk isn’t a cliché — it’s the foundation of trust, identity, and leadership.If your actions don’t match your message, people feel it. 🎧 Chapter 8: Walk the Talk | You 2.0Join the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/a57d91dd-c07e-4d38-8078-45cd3daa6701#Leadership #Integrity #AuthenticLeadership #ThinkWORKS

    96: ThinkWORKS 96 The Actionaut: Why Action Improves Wellbeing (Not Just Results)

    Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they’re waiting to feel ready.In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I introduce the idea of the Actionaut: someone who treats action as exploration, not urgency. We explore why small, deliberate action improves wellbeing, restores agency, and creates clarity — even before results show up. If you’ve been stuck between thinking and doing, this one’s for you. Comment with your answer from the small exercise in the episode at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/c1c100aa-d126-4b86-9b16-d2f0f88d34ae

    95: ThinkWORKS 95 Lead From The Back and Never Fear Empowerment!

    Most leadership failure doesn’t come from incompetence — it comes from fear. Fear of losing control. Fear of empowering others. Fear dressed up as authority.In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore why the best leaders lead from the back, why macho management quietly destroys organisations, and how a single question — “How can I help?” — can transform teams, cultures, and results.We look at why “busy” isn’t productive, how empowerment actually increases accountability, and why trust is the missing ingredient in modern leadership.If you manage people, work in a team, or want to build something that lasts — this episode is for you.

    94: ThinkWORKS 94 How To Make Your New Year Resolutions Stick.

     Most New Year resolutions don’t fail because people lack motivation — they fail because intent never becomes structure. In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I explore how to make resolutions that actually stick by starting with vision, defining where you want to be by year’s end, and then working backwards into realistic steps and milestones. We look at why planning isn’t about rigidity or control, but about clarity, momentum, and choice — and why writing things down still matters more than most people realise.If you want this year to feel different because you thought differently, this episode is for you. Join in the discussion  at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/f264ef36-961a-4187-b556-255bc0e31262.

    93: ThinkWORKS 93 Have a Plan!

    Most people don’t fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they never turn intent into a plan. In this episode of ThinkWORKS, I unpack Chapter 4 of You 2.0: Build Yourself Better — Have a Plan — and explore why plans aren’t about rigidity or control, but about creating momentum, choice, and resilience in a messy world. We look at why vague goals keep us stuck, how simple planning sharpens thinking without killing creativity, and why a good plan should guide you rather than trap you. If you’ve ever felt busy but not progressing, inspired but unfocused, or capable but stalled, this episode is for you.

    92: ThinkWORKS 92 Suspend Your Disbelief!

    Suspend Your Disbelief – Why Belief Comes Before ChangeEver notice how fear quietly talks us out of trying, long before we fail? In this episode, I explore why self-belief isn’t fluff — it’s the foundation of every meaningful change. We look at how the brain avoids pain, clings to old stories, and convinces us we’re “not that good anyway.” You’ll learn how to suspend disbelief, borrow confidence from your own past wins, and act as if — just long enough to get moving. Because before you can change your world, you have to start by believing you can.Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/46dcf561-f0f7-437d-8b7b-23be7a820951

    91: ThinkWORKS 91 Adventures in Comics 3: Comic Quest- The Untold Adventures of UK Collectors in the 70s

    Before comic shops. Before collectors. Before anyone thought this stuff mattered. In this episode of ThinkWORKS we go to issue 3 of our Adventures in Comics mini-series, and head back to 1970s Britain — to newsagents, spinner racks, and the thrill of the hunt. From The Mighty World of Marvel to DC’s The Shadow, we explore how UK kids discovered comics by chance, not design. It’s a story of pocket money, persistence, and the moment comics stopped being disposable… and started becoming part of who we are. Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/4e4d86c5-dd0d-41fd-856c-d5a4a09a6d3a

    90: ThinkWORKS 90 Hitting the Target But Missing the Point- Unveiling the True Impact of Digital vs Traditional Systems

    Sometimes, you just can't beat going back to basics. Starting with a blank piece of paper and a nice lovely pen to organise your world, you can quickly see patterns and ideas and declutter your mind in a way that a 100% digital approach just cannot match. And this simple fact is also the reason why 70% (yes, SEVENTY) of digital projects fail.Come and join me as I explain what sparked off this episode in the first place, what some of the wider ramifications of bad planning are, and how to avoid the same mistakes.And check out the Forum post at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/20535766-fcab-404b-a8cb-54bf3e9a461f for links to my favourite hard bound journal and my new life planner, and share your own anecdotes and thoughts.

    70: ThinkWORKS 70 The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics!

    Reality is not certain. Actions and events have consequences that may create a universe for every possible outcome. And you exist in many of these realities all at once. This is the conclusion that Hugh Everett III made in the mid 1950s and faced so much scorn and resistance that he left the field. Today, the idea of MWI is taken as plainly self-evident. Why? What is MWI really and how does it challenge our notions of reality and identity? This is what we discuss in this mind-blowing episode of ThinkWORKS!Come and join the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/396bf1be-901d-42c7-bdfd-8e5a08aa4058

    69: ThinkWORKS 69 Time Is Nature's Way Of Stopping Everything Happening All At Once. Discuss!

    We all think we understand what time is, but both Relativity and Quantum Mechanics suggest that our understanding of Time may need to be more flexible! This episode considers the nature of time, asks is it possible to travel through it and if so how, and looks at how theories from Einstein and Hawking challenge what we perceive is reality.Come and join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/72d95e7d-709b-4547-9418-4026c7010735

    68: ThinkWORKS 68 Death is Only The Beginning: Biocentrism and the Conscious Reality!

    Warning: this episode can seriously mess with your mind! In the 1999 movie 'The Mummy' Imhotep says 'Death is only the beginning!' and a new paper in Psychology Today seems to agree with him! Death, it seems, may just be a transition from one conscious reality to another and so this episode discusses the reasoning behind this bold claim and explains some of the principles behind it.Join the the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/23d90a64-2b52-4af1-9047-21246e25b025

    67: ThinkWORKS 67 The Gaia Principle!

    From my forthcoming book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better', I discuss the Gaia Principle, the idea that we are part of a virtual eco-system, and whether in work, professional, personal or community life, we should try to break free of silo-thinking to deliver greater benefits whilst minimising the negative effects of change.Join the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/afab3e08-9a94-4b8f-b23d-6b7525c471c5

    66: ThinkWORKS 66 Panpsychism and Gaia: Exploring the Conscious Cosmos!

    Panpsychism is a philosophical theory that suggests that consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the universe. According to this view, all matter, regardless of its complexity, possesses some form of consciousness or experiential quality. This means that even the smallest particles, like atoms or subatomic particles, have a form of consciousness.  This idea challenges the traditional dualistic view that separates mind and matter, proposing instead that mind is a fundamental aspect of reality and is a fascinating concept that has gained attention in recent years as a potential way to bridge the gap between the physical and mental aspects of the universe.Join the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/510cf6e8-98a1-4513-828a-1e89c788a863

    63: ThinkWORKS 63 The Unexpected Guest Principle!

    The Unexpected Guest is the 13th Principle in my new book 'You 2.0: Build Yourself Better' and is all about how you must ask on a regular basis a simple but powerful question: What event, no matter how unlikely, should it occur destroy my professional or private life (or product or service or business or community and so on) literally overnight? Think Nokia and Apple, Tran-Pennsylvania Rail and the Ford Truck, the Vinyl Industry and the CD. These weren't incremental or even huge improvements in their respective industries, but a brand new way of doing things that literally changed the rules of the game. This episodes explains how you can plan for the unknown unknowns and be in better shape to survive their sudden appearance!Join in the discussion at https://www.darreninform.com/forum/2-thinkworks-voiceworks/discussion/4da2de76-0405-48b8-9a9a-06291a44ec60
