82: 81: What To Do When Your Mood Drops - Part 1
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Today I share some insights on what is usually the unseen variable in your success, performance and levels of fulfilment and clarity - your mood.
Show Notes:
Free access to a webinar with myself and Dr. Michael Gerharz.
I connected with Michael a couple of years ago and what I really liked about him was his relentless curiosity - never being satisfied with 'good enough'.
Over time our mutual interests and conversations developed into a question:
What can we do together to help others raise their game?
One of the answers was to create some new material and a process to help people 'Flip The Script' on what's limiting their progress. The webinar brought up many unexpected nuggets as a lot of it was improvised based on what the audience brought to it in terms of questions.
We said we'd stay on the webinar until every question submitted by attendees was answered. So instead of the webinar being 60 minutes, it ended up being 80!
If you you missed it, you still have an opportunity to listen it as we've decided to leave the recording online for another few days.
Some of the questions we explored include:
How can you get a rewritten script to "stick"?
How do we know if we are on the flipped script or on the original script?
How do you tune in to your true inner script?
Is flipping the script a skill that can be learned?
How much is flipping the script about identifying your values?
How can we achieve success but feel like we’re not successful?
How does re-writing your script show up in how your interact with the world?
How does your personal story influence your success?
Why is worth exploring meaning and how do you do that in a practical, impactful way?
What are the inner obstacles to creating more meaningful success?

81: Flipping Your Inner Script
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
We all have inner scripts that determine how we see ourselves but these scripts can limit us without realising it. In today's episode I share a story with a powerful metaphor for changing not only how we see ourselves, but also how we can help others to see a better, more truer version of themselves also.
Show Notes:

Monday Jun 06, 2022
Monday Jun 06, 2022
It doesn't take much to affect a winning mindset - in the positive or negative. In fact, there is one thing that is usually THE difference between winning and not. It can be very subtle, hidden and very much related to the inner.

In this special edition of The Inner Edge, I interview a remarkable woman who made an incredible discovery over 40 years ago. This discovery has the power to radically improve the lives of about 25% of the population. That means it could be you, or someone close to you. What she discovered is now called Irlen Syndrome.
My daughter Jane was diagnosed with Irlen when she was 12 and it has transformed her life in many ways.
The purpose of this interview is to help increase the awareness of Irlen Syndrome everywhere because there are children and adults in your life who need to become aware of this. It is the dyslexia of our time, it's real and there is a proven way of helping people.
If you have any specific questions for me please email me directly at shane@shanecradock.com

Irlen Website here
Irlen Screeners and Diagnosticians:
As Helen explains in our conversation, there are 2 key steps 1. Getting screened for Irlen and then 2. Getting a definite diagnosis on the colour. In our experience, there are many great people who can help with the screening and you can connect with them through the main Irlen website and if you're Irish through this website, www.irlen.ie
Important: Our experience on the Diagnosis has been that the results will vary hugely depending on the equipment the diagnostician uses and the way the tests are done, because this will determine the exact colour of the Irlen spectral tints. The best person we have found for this stage is Alan Penn, who is based in the UK. He showed us the MASSIVE difference in getting the colour 90% right and 100% right for Jane.
Alan Penn's website is here.
