Continuing with our series of podcasts exploring questions that come up during coaching sessions, this podcast builds on episode 131, this time looking at how you find your purpose in life (not just work).

In this episode, Ricky and Graham, chat about life's purpose, talking through the different areas of life, and the different things that motivate us in life. They have a really open and honest conversation on how they have had to consider the different aspects of their own life, using the five balls or the wheel of life to ensure they consider all of the aspects of their life.

Most of us spend over a third of our time at work - until we get to retire! Next to sleep is the part of our life that we spend the most time doing, yet often, we have no idea why we are there or what we are trying to achieve. Yeah, we are there for the money, and that means hitting some goals, but is that enough?

What makes work meaningful? What is our 'ripple on the universe'? Without a clear understanding of why we are here, we risk mistaking what we do as our purpose and ignoring why we are doing it.

This is one of the questions that regularly comes up in coaching. In this podcast, Paul and Graham explore how coaches help people find their work purpose and how they can make work meaningful.

Continuing our journey into the questions that often come up in coaching sessions, in this podcast Richard and Paul explore how success in demanding jobs and work-life balance often can seem incompatible.
Creating balance is a popular topic, with no end of articles and influencers talking about the tricks to create balance, or the sacrifices required to be successful. However, the topic is more nuanced that commonly presented, as balance is a very personal thing, and what might look like as balance for one person, would feel like purgatory for another.

It is possible to create balance and have a demanding role, but as Richard and Paul discuss, this takes self-awareness, an ability to prioritise different aspects of your life and choices.
