Welcome to an exciting new departure to "The Good Listening To Podcast"!

A new GLT series strand called "Legacy: Life Reflections", inspired by William Shakespeare's "All the World's Stage".

It's the opportunity to join me in the "GLT Clearing" to share your story - and reflect  on your "Life's-Lessons-Learned" along your way.  And also share what you'd like your legacy to be: How would you most like to be remembered?

So to that end - please welcome to the GLT Clearing:  Colin Grimes a.k.a my Father! 

A life trailblazer and "serial organiser and fixer" (!) born in Middlesborough and emigrated to Uganda with 3 children (including me!) in tow - at my age equivalent of 28 - in the mid 1960's.  

Get him!

So yes! 

This is the inaugural Episode of the new GLT series strand called "Legacy: Life Reflections".
In talking to my father - Colin Grimes - and inspired by William Shakespeare's "All The World's A Stage Speech"  in "As You Like It":

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages..."

Jaques: Act II Scene VII

This is the opportunity to have a special Episode of The Good Listening To Podcast - with all the elements of its strong storytelling construct - wrapped around and dedicated entirely (and privately if you wish?) to you and your Life’s Story.

(The idea being: A new “Private Series” strand to the Good Listening To Podcast: 

A Zoom Podcast series for private individuals, whereby I ‘wrap’ an Episode of the “The Good Listening To Podcast” - with all of the elements of its strong storytelling construct - around the life story (and the life’s-lessons-learned along the way) of you or another member of your family)

And as always - as my guest here in the Podcast - "Now is your 'moment in the sunshine' to share your story!"

Who are you? What's your story? And what 'life-lessons-learned-along-the-way' would you like to share with us? And just to get bit "existential on yo ass" too (!) what would you like your legacy to be?  How would you most like to be remembered?

So - thanks for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"

The Podcast series that always features "The Clearing":  Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!

With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:

The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!

Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearin

Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'. If you would like to be my Guest too then you can find out HOW via the different 'series strands' at 'The Good Listening To Show' website.
