Now, I really like having big thinkers here to talk about their experiences, their learnings and their perspective. I met Yannick Jacob recently and was fascinated by his outlook on the meaning of life and how he brings a sharp clarity to the complexity of how our minds work. I know you’ll enjoy hearing from him too.

Yannick is a coach, trainer and supervisor with Masters degrees in Existential Coaching and Applied Positive Psychology. He is part of the teaching faculties at Cambridge University and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision, and he’s the Course Director of the School of Positive Transformation’s Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching. He's an in-demand speaker and author of the book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching. And if that wasn’t enough to keep one person busy, he also founded Yannick’s Coaching Lab and hosts three podcasts – Coaching Uncaged, Talking about Coaching and Talking about Coaching and Psychedelics.

Now what I’m particularly interested in getting Yannick’s take on is the really big questions that help you find connection, meaning and purpose. If you’ve listened for a while then you’ll know about my passion for fostering ownership and intentionality in the people I work with. Yannick said this:

"The thing is that those who make the most out of their time on this planet, the ones we look up to as having really lived, they allow themselves to experience the whole spectrum of what life has to offer – “good” and “bad”, pleasant and uncomfortable, success and failure, happiness and anxiety. To not merely endure life, but to enjoy it in all its facets, that‘s what I call “a life well lived”. And it’s a choice away."

Wow, I can’t wait to hear more!
