Matthieu Ricard’s TED talk remains one of the most viewed.  He is labeled the world’s happiest man and translated for the Dalai Lama for over a decade.  His book called ‘Altruism’ is still one of my favourites and is a world best seller.  He describes Buddhism as the identification of suffering and then finding ways to alleviate it.  He has helped scientists explore the benefits of Mindfulness and has taken part in many research projects (he’s the guy with the nodes stuck to his head).  As a teacher and fan of Mindfulness, Matthieu goes down as one of my most memorable and influential guests.  Our car pool podcast together was very special and I am very happy to share this with you.  Anh and Will join me to ask Matthieu our deepest questions.

Why are we afraid to speak publicly?  Vanessa Cuddeford joins us on the podcast and she brings 20 years of broadcast experience as a producer, reporter and news anchor with BBC, Independent Television (ITV) and NBC News.  Following an incident live on air whilst interviewing a senior politician, Vanessa choked (literally) and had to have a colleague take over.  This led to a sequence of life changing events to build a successful online communications coaching company, developing a digital learning platform and courses which have helped hundreds of professionals speak confidently and persuasively. Vanessa helped inspire me to level up my coaching game and I am super keen to have Vanessa share some of her wonderful insights on the podcast.
