051 — A Journey from Finance to Ontological Coaching with Graham Smale
On today’s show, Dr. Fred speaks with Graham Smale, who after 35 years in the “dark arts of finance” left the industry and set out on a journey of transformation. He now works as an ontological coach, and is a student of last week’s guest, Dylan Newcomb. Graham is in Dylan’s Uzazu certification program. Graham combines the somatic dimension available through Uzazu with the “heady language-based work” of philosophy that informs his coaching.
Dr. Fred and Graham discover striking and uncanny personal similarities in their conversation today. Listen in as they share insights on the following topics:
Why Graham became disillusioned with finance and left a successful career
The role of the Mankind Project in Graham’s transformation
Why Graham chose to dive deeper into the Uzazu methodology
How Dr. Fred and Graham’s pets help them be more human
Why we often “over promise”
The idea that without integrity, nothing works
The value of “being authentic about your authenticities”
The dynamics of keeping our commitments to self and others
Strategies for keeping commitments
How it can be helpful to examine where our commitments arise from
