Braver with an inner calm
Mike and Jane Saunders head up Arrowe Financial, a financial services business which they run together. They are each responsible for separate areas of the business. The business was entering a period of potential significant growth, and both Mike and Jane were keen to find the support to help them with this development and transition.
It's impossible to fully capture the deep insights and shift in mindset that Mike and Jane experienced, but these key learnings that they shared give us a flavour:
We have both truly noticed that thought is not truth which in turn opens up far better decision making.
We now have the clarity to realise we can be more relaxed about the way we are doing things and not to worry about things we can’t change. This has allowed us to focus on the important challenges of running our business. We have been able to sit back and look at the business more peacefully and objectively rather than being stuck in the fray. We have seen we need to get good at cutting out the noise. We have seen that clarity of thought is available when we do that. This in turn has allowed us to clearly identify any potential issues and opportunities in the business.
We have found huge benefit in this learning experience not being prescriptive but allowing us to understand how thought works - this has opened up our own internal wisdom, making us more aware of our insights.
Mike and Jane have taken on five new businesses. Jane said if this had happened before THOUGHT INTELLIGENCE® she would have been terrified by this. Instead, she has had far more clarity, has been more determined than ever and the clarity has made her braver about what she can achieve, with an inner calm.
Rational thought has made them better at delegating to their staff which has helped the staff to flourish and feel more valued. This means they take more time for themselves away from the business and have much better clarity of thought and a better balance.
