  How Easy Are You To Deal With?

  Sep 5, 202611 min

  Send us Fan Mail Really, how easy are you to deal with? Not how easy you think you are - how easy you actually are. Most of us rarely check. We feel a vibe and move on, without asking what's actually behind it. Ease is about how someone feels while and after they're dealing with you. Pick someone you find hard to deal with. Write out exactly why - not in generalities - the real reasons. This one takes some honesty. Then flip it: what would someone write about you? #Coaching #Leadership #SelfAwareness #Communication #Feedback #GrowthMindset Gary's Website | LinkedIn | Facebook

  How Likeable Are You - And Does It Matter?

  Aug 31, 202615 min

  Send us Fan Mail Some people walk into a room and everyone already likes them - before they've said a word. Have you ever tried to figure out why? We treat likability like it's fixed. You've either got it or you don't. So we either chase it (hello, people-pleasing) or write it off as fake and ignore it completely. Neither one's true. It's not charm. It's not being nice. It's warmth and safety, built in tiny moments - not the big gestures. Think about someone you naturally gravitate toward. What are they actually doing? Now think about an opportunity that didn't come your way. Was likability ever part of that story? #Coaching #Likability #SelfAwareness #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Influence Gary's Website | LinkedIn | Facebook

  We All Need Something To Look Forward To

  Aug 23, 202610 min

  Send us Fan Mail We all need something to look forward to, don't we? When there's nothing on the horizon, life can start to feel flat, grey, and kinda mundane. In this video, I break down why that happens and what to do about it. Why 'autopilot' living leaves you without anything to anticipate The questions to ask yourself about what's actually in your future Why it doesn't need to be grandiose (or cost you a cent) to count Why planning something to look forward to isn't selfish - it's necessary The two types of anticipation - the kind you work for, and the kind you don't If you've been grinding through the days without anything pulling you forward, this one's for you. #Coaching #Motivation #Mindset #Anticipation #Wellbeing ------------------------ This kind of clarity doesn't happen by accident - it's a skill you can build. If you're ready to stop spinning and start moving, let's talk. Book a free 30-min call: garygillan.com Gary's Website | LinkedIn | Facebook

  The Ripple Effect - Who Are You Impacting?

  Aug 15, 202616 min

  Send us Fan Mail We say we're meeting people where they are. But are we? Or are we meeting them where we want them to be? I just finished the book ‘When Breath Becomes Air’ by Paul Kalanithi about a man facing a terminal diagnosis, and it wasn't really about dying - it was about living on purpose. It left me with some questions I’d like to pose to you: When life stacks up against you, who are you? Do you face it head on? Do you shrink away? Do you even know? You've already got the evidence, so think about the last time things didn't go your way - were you the best version of yourself in that moment? And what were the impacts to your immediate network? #Coaching #Values #SelfAwareness #Ownership #GrowthMindset ------------------------- This kind of clarity doesn't happen by accident - it's a skill you can build.

  Ending Period Poverty with Linda Biggs

  Aug 3, 202637 min

  Send us Fan Mail Do you know someone who menstruates? I do. Lots, actually. I’ve been surrounded by incredible women my entire life and know next-to-nothing about period care. So, it stands to reason that I had no clue about period poverty that many women face today. That’s why I was so excited to have this conversation. Linda co-founded Joni after living through period poverty herself. Six years, zero pay for four of them, and now Joni products sit on Walmart (and many other major retailers) shelves nationwide. This conversation traces the journey from a Vancouver food bank to a plant-based period care brand built on radical transparency. Truly, it's a masterclass in turning personal struggle into purpose-driven business. Perfect for : Anyone who menstruates and has ever felt unseen by the period care industry, along with those who've experienced period poverty firsthand or want to better understand what it looks like. Your transformation : Listeners will come away with a new language for dignity in period care, understanding why access to quality products (not just any product) matters Key takeaways : Why ‘period poverty’ is becoming more familiar, and what it actually looks like The wild, unexpected history behind the term ‘feminine hygiene’ How a $30,000 first year turned into national Walmart distribution The investor conversations that revealed a deeper industry blind spot Why dignity, not just donation, sits at the centre of Joni's give-back model You can see more from Linda here: Website: GetJoni LinkedIn: Linda Biggs Newsletter: Linda Biggs Gary's Website | LinkedIn | Facebook
