    Unleashing Your Awesomeness

    Welcome to unleash your awesomeness.

     

    My name is Hakan Akbas & in this series of podcasts, it’s my intention and my guest’s intention, to point and nudge you in the direction of Truth, to spark the fuse within you to unleash it.

     

    There’s a good chance you may have an aha moment, an insight, it may be subtle, as a whisper or a chorus of angels.

     

    Each one of us has this awesome power within us, which is always present, running in the background, without us doing a single thing to run it.

     

    It enables us to have and think any thought.

     

    Create whatever we want in our world.

     

    It enables us to be aware of and conscious of everything around us.

     

    It’s the same power, that lead Einstein to discover E=MC2

     

    Keeping every single atom moving within us, in every single moment.

     

    An invisible power, that turns what may seem impossible into possible.

     

    Ready to join me in a journey of discovery to unleash it?

    Ep.47 – Special Guest – Peter Sleigh: From Chartered Accountant to Master Coach

    In this episode of Unleashing Your Awesomeness, my special guest Peter Sleigh, shares his journey from being a Chartered Accountant to becoming a transformational coach. Join us as we explore the pivotal moments and profound insights that have shaped Peter's life and coaching career.

    He’s journey began with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and
    gradually transitioned into traditional business coaching and performance
    coaching. His journey was marked by a burning desire to not only make his own
    life nicer but also to help others do the same. 

    One of the most significant turning points in Peter's spiritual
    journey was his encounter with Wayne Dyer. Dyer's teachings which deeply
    resonated within him, igniting a spiritual spark that continues to guide him to
    this day.

    As fate would have it, Peter stumbled upon the teachings of
    Michael Neill, a renowned coach and author. He not only studied under Neill but
    also became one of his apprentices. In this episode, Peter shares his
    experiences at the Super Coach Academy and what it was like to learn from a
    true coaching master.

    Peter generously opens up about his three most significant
    insights, one of which had such a profound impact that it kept him awake at
    night. These insights touch upon the essence of coaching, personal
    transformation, and the power of the mind.

    We also explore the concept of goals and how our ego can
    sometimes hinder our progress until we embark on the journey of awakening.
    Peter sheds light on our capacity to see things differently and the role of
    perception in creating our reality.

    In this thought-provoking conversation, Peter shares what he is
    currently discovering anew and how we can create not only ourselves but others
    too.

    Ep. 45 - Special Guest: Vicky Gumley - Creating the Version of Others

    Ep. 45 - Special Guest: Vicky Gumley - Creating the Version of Others

    Vicky's journey into the world of personal development began with a financial scare brought on by the 2009 banking crash. Faced with uncertainty, she embarked on a quest for answers and deeper understanding. Her journey started with an interest in NLP, exploring it with Sue Knight.

    Venturing into trance work with Stephen Gillighan, explored the depths of meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza, and eventually stumbled upon the profound works of Sydney Banks and the 3 Principles.

    One of the core realisations that emerged from her journey is the understanding that the world is experienced from the inside out. Our perceptions are not shaped by external circumstances but by our thinking. This paradigm shift completely transformed Vicky's life and how she relates to the world.

     In our fascinating conversation, we explore the art of creating perceptions of others and how we often construct versions of people based on our own thinking. Discussing the power of authentic connection and the profound truth that we don't know what we don't know.

    Ep.43 – Special Guest – Tony Piper: Transformation and the Power of Language

    Ep.43 – Special Guest – Tony Piper: Transformation and the Power of Language

    Tony Piper, a transformational coach who has devoted his life to helping individuals unlock their inner potential. Tony's journey is a testament to the transformative power of curiosity and self-discovery.

    Tony's career began with a 27-year background that initially had no connection to transformational coaching. However, a pivotal moment when his boss told him he would never be a "people person" ignited a spark of curiosity within him. He became determined to understand what it truly meant to connect with others, how to be a people person, and the signs that indicated one's proficiency in this area.

    His early interest in psychology paved the way for a deeper exploration of human behaviour and communication. Tony discovered that many of the challenges he faced as a leader were not technical but fundamentally related to understanding people's needs, effective communication, and decision-making. These insights, often neglected in the world of software delivery, became the cornerstone of Tony's transformational coaching journey.

    Tony's path led him through various modalities, including NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and "Clean Language." It was in the realm of "Clean Language" that he found his true calling—an exceptional listener with an acute ability to pay attention to the words people use, uncovering profound insights and facilitating transformation.

    The turning point in Tony's journey was the discovery of the "3 Principles" Inside Out understanding, a paradigm shift that fundamentally altered his perception of the human condition. He shares his experiences with renowned programs like Michael Neill's Creating the Impossible & Genius Catalyst and the wisdom he gained from mentors like Jamie Smart. 

    Throughout this episode, Tony delves into essential topics such as the distinctions between "Normal & Natural," navigating low moods, understanding brain habits, the pursuit of the ultimate leadership style.
