What advice would you give yourself if you were labelled ‘slow’?

In this episode Phil Rose talks Matt Cox. Matt is a serial entrepreneur, coach and consultant who was once labelled ‘slow’ by teachers at school. That prompted him, after a number of years, to look at the choices he really had in life. He could live with the label as a burden or look for ways to make the most of the gifts he has. 

(Some of) The main points for listeners:

•             Making sense of complexity is key to prevent chaos

•             From Chaos to Cohesion – vision, purpose and clarity come first

•             What do you do when you are labelled slow… 

•             Matt shares his experience of his ‘processing disorder’ (ADD)

•             How Matt dealt with anxiety and how he coped with it

•             You can either be a victim to it or make a choice to do it differently

•             Those who gave Matt advice had a good intent (generally) – but it may not always land like that

•             What you can learn from a guy who flunks maths 7 times

•             What is your teaching style? And how can you use that to your advantage

•             What’s your gift? When you find it how will you use it?

•             Living through your values. What are yours and how do they guide you?

•             Grit, Meaning, Family – core values that drive out behaviours

•             When you’re given a lot, you’ve got to give a lot – Warren Buffet

•             We only have around 30K days in our lives.. don’t waste them

•             The Courage to Lead Differently
