They explore how to listen to what you really care about and use this as a foundation for your decision making. How to cope with the uncomfortable ‘no man's land’ when you are making change happen. How to pick yourself up when things haven’t gone your way. We discuss how to manage physical fear and become more grounded and how to manage the ‘shadow’ side that can stop change happening.</p><p><br></p><p>More about my guests:</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Gerard McHale</strong>&nbsp;is a junior doctor, training to be a GP in South London.
