Faith, Relationships and Connection - A Conversation with Paul Scanlon

This week, Ellie is on a mission with Paul Scanlon, one of the most sought after public speakers in the world, as well as a best-selling author, coach, mentor and master communicator. Paul discusses his journey in life, from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of success, why faith matters so much when it comes to determining our paths in life, and how a more relationship-based approach to religion and life can create a greater sense of connection. KEY TAKEAWAYS Education is not a one-size-fits all endeavour, yet many authorities enforce this practice, meaning that many children, who require different learning pathways or specialised focus, slip through the cracks. Religion seems to be built upon a rigid sense of conformity and regulation, when in fact, a more relationship-based approach is far more compatible with the way we as human beings connect and communicate. When our organisations focus upon growing with the same client base, but our marketing aims much wider than that, it indicates a disconnect between what we believe and how we behave. As leaders, we function best when we put people at the heart of everything we do - managing, building, connecting with our people are the best ways of getting the best from them. BEST MOMENTS 'My entry point was not religion. It was relationship' 'What I knew I had to do was change our culture - not just our beliefs' 'None of it really matters until you are willing to disrupt yourself and start barbecuing a few sacred cows' 'I knew I had to become more intentional about being a people person' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Paul Scanlon - https://www.paulscanlon.com ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts.
