Ep. 165: Nick Davies — How to Take Responsibility and Live a Better Life

by Seth J. Gillihan, PhD

My guest this week is Nick Davies, a professional coach with twenty years of experience in the corporate world. Nick and I spoke before on the podcast, back in 2020. This time we focused on the importance of awareness and goals if we want to make real changes in our life. Toward the end, Nick shared some really great insights about how to find the right path if you’re not sure how to get started.

Topics we discussed together included:

  • The desire to make changes in our lives
  • Asking ourselves the question, “What do I want?”
  • The danger in being too easily satisfied with our situation
  • Pain as a limited motivator for lasting positive change
  • Playing our life between negative and neutral
  • Taking risks in order to reach a higher plane
  • Leaning toward long-term considerations in our important relationships
  • Finding the readiness to change before we reach a crisis
  • Making small changes that can improve our daily lives
  • Changing the habitual systems that cause us pain
  • Taking personal responsibility for our life choices
  • Changing the game so we want to play and can actually win
  • The strong tendency to assign blame, and focusing instead on responsibility
  • How to listen for where we’re being led
  • Believing in others more than they believe in themselves
  • Trusting that asking the question will lead to the answer

Nick Davies is a Tony Robbins trained coach with over 1500 hours of coaching, and counting.

Nick takes the lessons from his extensive exposure to people and business and applies them to his life and his clients, helping people and businesses to create awareness and abundance.
