If you've ever listened to me speak about how we create a world that is always better than yesterday, you'll know that the master key to making that happen is leadership. Because when leaders get better, we get better, our families get better, our communities get better and you see where I am going with this... Well, the best way to help a leader get better is firstly help them become more self aware. This is why I have spent the whole week on Zoom being trained as a Communications Coach that is certified to use the Life Languages™ tool. Although tired, I am so excited to be able to start using the Kendall Life Languages Profile™ (KLLP) to be able to help leaders (you) learn more about themselves and others. When we learn more about ourselves and others, we become more intentional with our words and our actions and as a result, make more of an impact and become more influential. If you're curious and want to learn a bit more, you can use this link to take a free mini profile. If you resonate with what you see and what to explore it in more detail and see how it can transform your relationship with yourself and those important people around you, we can talk! Love you guys, hope it helps and share your primary language in the WE ARE ABTY community! Ryan

You know you're leading from love and not for love when you're able to lead people based on their needs and not your own. 

Pay attention to when you are HUNGRY, ANGRY, LONELY or TIRED!

Do more of what you love and intentionally practice so that you can make progress. 

Ever wondered what happens after you die? Well, hold on tight. This week I am joined by David Ditchfield, author of Shine On. In the book, David documents the events of being dragged under a speeding train and his journey to the afterlife. Not only has David been able to recall the vivid experience, he has been able to express this through paintings and writing a symphony - and he didn't have the skillset to do either before his accident! In this episode you will hear: 04:00 the story start with David living in London, leaving school without any qualifications 07:00 the ordeal of being dragged under a speeding train 11:50 the passengers on the train carriage come together in prayer for David 13:30 connecting with faith 15:00 the moment David thought he had died and journeyed to the after-life 18:00 love and healing 19:00 the vivid description of what it’s like being in the middle of the universe 20:45 seeing an intense tunnel of love and white light which David knew straight away was the source of the universe. It was God. 22:25 Death is not to be feared - being healed and prepared for the next stage of the afterlife 24:30 Being sent back for a reason - determined to paint what he had seen 29:00 “David, Christ was with you” 32:00 the punk rocker thrashing his way through life to writing a symphony for an orchestra 39:00 Question from Sarah 42:00 create heaven on earth by pursuing love and be in the moment Please do go to David's website to find out more about his incredible story.  The music in the intro to this podcast is one of 3 pieces of music he wrote. This and the other two pieces are also available to listen to on his website.  I hope this conversation inspires you, sparks your curiosity, gives you peace and encourage to live from a place of love.  Always love  Ryan  Connect with David: Website: https://www.shineonthestory.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DavidDitchfieldNDE/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/david_ditchfield/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidDitchfieldNDE Connect with Always Better than Yesterday: Email: ryanbhartley@gmail.com Whatsapp: (+44) 07970339936 Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/weareabty Master Heart and Mind Group Coaching: www.ryanhartley.co.uk Thank you to our friends at WebCreation, proud supporters of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions.

Your heart work is no coincidence. Bring it in to the world. It's very much needed. 

Never did I think I would challenge a quote from Ghandi but this is what I know in my heart to be true. I hope it helps in someway.  Always love Ryan  www.ryanhartley.co.uk
