Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Think about the people who truly matter most to you. Are they getting the best of you or the rest of you?

The more we get beyond ourselves and use what we have to love and serve others, the closer we get to our potential. 

This week our Good Fathers will be exploring the right balance (for them and their family) between provision and presence.  Find out more about Good Fathers here.  Book a call with me here. 

The real energy crisis is a crisis of human energy.  In this episode I outline a number of factors that could be taking away your energy. I also encourage you to write a +1 / -1 list as a practical way of improving your energy.  Most importantly, E=MC2, meaning fill your body with a state of love and you will have more energy.  Email me: podcast@abty.co.uk

I don't think women desire feminine men. They desire feeling seen, heard and safe. Men, she doesn't want feminine features, she wants your heart.  Devote yourself to a cause worthy of your love and you will become a better man every day. True masculinity doesn't abuse its power. It lovingly serves and protects. Let me know what YOU think: email podcast@abty.co.uk Tag us @alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk

Those who long to leave a footprint will never fly - Sadhguru What does this mean in the context of heartprint? Simply be inspired by your heartprint being the result, and always show up and do your best to love the one in front.  Lets talk: www.abty.co.uk/connect

If you'd like help bringing more #heartwork to the world, lets talk. 

This weekend, I encourage you to walk slower. Here are my observation when I walk slower. I wonder what possibilities walking slower creates for you. 

True belonging doesn't require you to bring the best of you. It requires you to bring all of you, and have that accepted.  I hope you can find the intentionality in your heartset to choose and accept your team and all of what they bring, the good, the bad, the strengths, the weaknesses, the desirable and less desirable.  If love is the synthesis of thesis and antithesis, then your heart-centred leadership has the power to create more light in the world by choosing to love and accept all of it.
