Goals DO Come True with Doug Bennett

S2E28: How to Achieve Personal Growth by Choosing More with Gwen Riley

Doug Bennett interviews Charlie Garnham, a human design expert who helps entrepreneurs understand their unique selves to create effortless visibility strategies. Charlie introduces the concept of human design, the most accurate personality test based on your time and place of birth, and explains how it can help you set goals aligned with your true self. Discover how to recognise conditioning, embrace your authentic nature, and achieve success on your own terms in this fascinating discussion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Human Design is based on your time and place of birth and can help you understand your unique self and set goals aligned with your true nature.
The five Human Design types are Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifesters, and Reflectors, each with different ways of setting and achieving goals.
Conditioning from society, media, and upbringing can lead you to set goals that aren't aligned with your authentic self.
Goals should be set according to your Human Design type - mastery for Generators, multi-passionate pursuits for Manifesting Generators, feeling-based for Projectors, impact-driven for Manifesters, and group-oriented for Reflectors.
Recognising feelings of frustration, bitterness, anger, or disappointment can indicate you're out of alignment with your true self.
Your body's intelligence is more powerful than your ego mind when making decisions.
Balancing masculine and feminine energy is important when setting goals, regardless of gender.
Human Design can help you make decisions based on your body's intelligence rather than your ego mind.

BEST MOMENTS

"Human design is the most accurate personality test that you will ever take”.

"Sometimes it's, that's a masculine way of doing things and, you know, even as a woman, that's not a problem to have a masculine, you know, sort of goal."

"When you understand your type in human design, the next thing that you learn is your decision making process. And this is definitely one of my favourite parts of human design." 

"Human design decision making can actually help you to understand how you are designed to make decisions and you can actually start listening to your body more rather than your mind."

"It's crazy, but it's true."

S4E06: Unlocking Your Authentic Self: Human Design for Effortless Goal Setting with Charlie Graham

Doug chats with the passionate and insightful Neil Giller, a.k.a. "Lord Neil," about being a radiator of positivity. Neil shares his wisdom on mental health, setting holistic goals, and living life to the fullest. Filled with humour, heart, and practical advice, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and ready to tackle your own goals with a fresh perspective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Choose to be a radiator, spreading positivity and inspiration, rather than a drain on others.
Set holistic goals that encompass not just monetary success, but also mental well-being, relationships, and personal fulfilment.
Prioritise self-care and filling your own cup first, so you can give to others from your overflow.
Tackle your top three priority tasks each morning to ensure you're making progress on what matters most.
Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who are rowing in the same direction as you.
Remember that life is not a rehearsal – make the most of the time you have and don't take it for granted.
Be kind to others, as you never know what someone else might be going through behind closed doors.
Work on smashing the stigma around mental health and encouraging open, honest conversations.

BEST MOMENTS

"I aspire to inspire before I expire." 

"Do you know what? It's okay not to be okay, but it's not okay not to be okay." 

"If by doing what I do or what we do, or by someone listening to this conversation, it makes it 83 or 82. Happy days. Happier days. So be it." 

"You are so important. And you've just got to fuck everyone else, fuck the deadlines, fuck that meeting for meeting sake, we've all been there before." 

"I learned that everyone in my boat has got to be rowing in the same direction."
