Should I follow my head or my heart. My advice is if we connect with our heart first, they will both say the same. There are risks in following the mind first as I explain in this episode. 

Perhaps the greatest flaw in our thinking is to think there should be no flaws in our thinking. 

I believe we should pay attention to those pressured situations that bring the best out of us rather than get the better of us. In this episode I reflect on my daughters first appearance on the stage and what I think it reveals about our heartset. 

In this short episode I share two pathways that you can explore. Character based confidence and competence based confidence.  I hope it serves you well. 

On episode 170 I am joined by Jennifer Thomas, PhD, a clinical psychologist, consultant, TEDx speaker, author, and master facilitator for The 5 Love Languages. Jennifer is the co-author of The 5 Apology Languages along with Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages. (Watch Dr. Gary Chapman on Ep 112 here: https://youtu.be/x9XkKFzhzCI ) In The 5 Apology Languages, Chapman and Thomas share their research on the importance of apologising effectively, explain how people speak differing apology languages, explore whether it’s possible to forgive without an apology, share how to learn your primary apology language and that of other people, and tell how to make your efforts at apologizing most productive. The languages they explore include: • Expressing Regret: The power of “I’m sorry” • Accepting Responsibility: Admitting “I was wrong” • Making Restitution: Trying to repair what went wrong • Planned Change: Making a plan to do things differently • Requesting Forgiveness: Asking for forgiveness demonstrates sincerity In this episode you will hear: 02:00 the British habit of constantly apologising 03:00 have we lost the art of a sincere apology? 04:00 when sorry isn’t enough 05:15 the Five Apology Languages 11:20 can you find it in your HEART to forgive me? 13:30 great leaders give great apologies 15:30 keep your BUT out 18:30 use all five and stop - don’t even bring in extenuating circumstance to your apology 20:15 why leaders should apologise in person 23:00 a letter from a daughter to her father - the more you admit you are wrong, the more respect I have for you 28:30 call off the forgiveness police 29:30 Sorry Not Sorry 31:30 an epidemic of negative attribution 34:00 encouragement for a new generation of leader 37:30 sharing your language with others I hope this interview inspires you to be a leader who can sincerely apologise to those who need to hear it.

People do things for their reasons, not ours - Bob Burg Here's what that means in a leadership perspective. 

Thank you for being here this week as I have shared the heart framework in the hope that it continues to inspire and encourage your heart centred leadership.  Today I close with Heartprint - the legacy of your heart centred interactions.  If after listening this week you feel inspires to reach out and start a conversation with me, please do!  Book a conversation here: www.ryanhartley.co.uk/connect (please know this won't be a sale pitch, but a genuine conversation where we can explore some of these concepts together).  Always love  Ryan 

this week I am sharing the heart week series of live recordings. We have already explored Heartset, Heartwork and Heartbeat. Today we explore Likehearted (humans) - who are they and what to do when we find them! I hope it continues to encourage your heart centred leadership.  Join us tomorrow when I conclude heart week with Heartprint, the legacy of our heart centred interactions.  Always love  Ryan
