Career development is not just about doing your job really well, but also about responding to the inner call for more challenge and opportunity: what can be described as the progressive rather than cyclical approach. But it's not just a matter of expecting these things to fall into your lap: preparation and applying those extra skills call for action on your part. Clarity, belief — then action: these are the key ingrdients for going for promotion or, indeed, starting your own business.

Whether it's for a family occasion or for a business event, the prospect of public speaking can be daunting. It's all about anticipatory fear, so this episode is all about building a sense of confidence and comfort in order to prepare for it.

Adam Cox's Hypnotist episodes are all designed for individuals, but it's extraordinary how often they can segway into the realms of public policy. This episode is all about the challenge of turning decisions into decisive action: if that doesn't happen, it can better be described as dithering. In both business and social contexts, people discern what looks as the right way forward — but the follow-through into action requires a degree of emotional detachment: Adam draws on a number of movie metaphors for how it can be achieved. Could Rachel Reeves benefit from this in framing her forthcoming Budget?

This episode revisits the motivations, expectations and emotions in the past — reaching right back into childhood years — which may have led to an overweight problem today, and how to let go of that baggage. It discusses a personal challenge, of course, but it could be approached as an analogy for the way that the post-war call for Attleean universal welfare has driven seven decades of excess public spending so that our country is now groaning from the weight of excess debt. It might therefore help politicians to let go of their emotional baggage and focus on a new slimline style of government which targets help and support where it's needed.
