Regardless of who you are, or what you do, you are on a journey.

You may recognise you’re on a leadership journey, or perhaps you’re on a coaching journey as an executive coach? Each of us could map out our career journey in whatever field(s) we’ve specialised in over the years too.

On a fundamental level of course, life itself can be seen as a journey – from childhood through to old age.

All these journeys can be enriched and elevated through heightened self-awareness and reflection.

Join Paul Williamson, Executive Coach and Learning & Development practitioner as he talks with Fiona Murchie about the genesis of his illustrated book ‘Pheasant Dreams’, and how the lessons in it can generate self-reflection and insight for adults and children alike.

  • How the arts, creativity and storytelling can aid self-reflection
  • About the impact of childhood stories on leadership and beyond
