28- Balancing Feminine And Masculine Energy As An HSP - In Conversation With Geoff Hinsley

Today is a special episode for me!
My guest, Geoff Hinsley, was my mentor and first coach ever. He helped me through a very difficult time, navigating a toxic work environment, and general overwhelm and feeling stuck. Thanks to our sessions, I became more self-confident and realised that there was much more to my purpose than working in fashion.
It’s actually because of our sessions that I began nurturing the idea to become a coach too!
If Geoff Hinsley had a life-theme, he would say it would be about wonder.
Both in the sense of being in awe of life and surroundings,
(the good stuff ,anyway) , and as in the question, ‘I wonder how that works?’ Of course, leading from that, ‘How can I make it work better?’, or ‘Can I invent something that works well?’
All this involves asking a lot of questions, being open with curiosity and if possible, minimal judgement.
As a leader in his engineering company, Geoff approached that in the same way.
Not autocratic, more ‘Let’s find a way’. Again this involved asking questions, in an empowering way.
He found himself being upset with direct and aggressive challenges or environments, sometimes that made him feel sick!
He prefers a more harmonised way, but still achieving well, perhaps better. (Certainly more healthy).
Geoff found out this is a key to creating a good coaching environment! All this lead him to his great preference - working collaboratively - which he found works really well for Highly Sensitive People and others around them.
